I think it's time for the weekend to come already when I see a message pop up that someone mentioned me in a Teams chat, and my reaction is to whine, out loud: "WHY ME?".

Regular reminder that poverty costs us, societally, so much more money than welfare/benefits that would allow people to live in dignity would ever cost us.

Quickest weekday dinner recipe. Did you know silken tofu makes an amazingly creamy herb “yogurt” base for spiced and roasted chickpeas & vegetables? A cupboard staple I can’t go without! 🌱🌱

IOA Cllr Henwood on Radio Oxford today. He claims there was "a higher fatality rate for cyclists" at The Plain roundabout and "I'm blaming it on the policy" (by which he means LTNs). There was one fatality at The Plain, and the drugged, unlicensed driver who caused it serves an 8 year jail sentence.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Close on a hundred people demonstrated on Saturday 22 November 2025 at Campsfield to oppose the reopening of the immigration detention centre in Kidlington. It is expected that the phase I (refurbished, 140 beds) Campsfield will reopen in the coming days.

That's the best kind of green belt to build housing on.
Plans have been lodged for 200 new homes and a community building – which could potentially house a doctor’s surgery – on the site of a golf course in Shrivenham. Bloor Homes also propose an ‘active travel corridor’, new zebra crossings, and cycle lanes to the site.

Most enjoyable dream, maybe ever: a storyline about interstellar space travel, where the space ship had a pool filled with chocolate pudding for the children, and my brain explaining the technology that made it not gross (dirt, hair, spit, etc. removed instantly, pudding always safe to eat).

Every now and then I think back to an encounter where I was on a night out with friends and a man tried chatting me up. It was a pub near the uni so he first assumed I’m a student. He said he was a teacher. asked me what I studied. I told him I was still at school….

Police arrested over 20 people protesting in Oxford against the government’s proscription of Palestine Action as ‘a terrorist organisation’ The protests were part of a day of action, in what Defend our Juries describe as “the most widespread civil disobedience campaign in modern British history.”

Today has been a massive victory for anti-migrant voices.
Not only is Labour doing 90% of what they want, but they're also making it much easier for them to get the remaining 10% later
