When I was a teenager there was a bus direct from my hometown in Germany to London - we had a British army base, and this direct bus connection was one of the benefits of that.

“…From Docking down to Heacham, shoes are obsolete. The people of West Norfolk have electric feet…”
A screenshot from the video for “Driving to Hunstanton” by the Sea Cadets.

It shows a quiet road into Hunstanton from the point of view of a Biker with just one other motorbike and one car in sight. The words 

“From Docking down to Heacham, shoes are obsolete.”

are written at the bottom of the screen

Google search says it’s Pyrrhocoris apterus (Firebug)

Government Emergency Alerts
and Domestic Abuse
On the 7 September 2025 at 3pm, the government will be testing
the emergency alert system to activate phones and tablets with a
loud alert. If you have one hidden from an abusive partner, switch
it off.
It will alert even if it's on silent or disconnected
from data and wifi.
How to opt out of emergency alerts:
!
Android
· Open the settings app
· Search 'emergency alerts'
· Select emergency alerts and from here you
can turn them off
. Tap the toggles on the right. If they are grey,
this means they are switched off.
iPhone
· Open the settings app
· Tap on notifications
. Scroll to the bottom of the page. There'll be an emergency alert section
. Tap the toggles on the right. If they are grey, this means they are
switched off

Every bloody day, trans people find their very existence challenged and experience repeated dehumanisation , meanwhile abuse by cis men goes barely mentioned and victims of Epstein are still maligned

Bottom line is that anti trans politics is part of fascist politics and you can’t fight fascism by taking on and surrendering to its ideas
