Fair 😔 What a rotten act of spite.

Also - “women” and “males”? Is that right? That’s… weird.

Is it me, or did Kelloggs force-fem Loopy

A photo of a Kelloggs’s Honey Loops showing its bee mascot. The bee has very big eyes, and looks quite androgynous, but could be a girl.

There are republicans in the Green Party of England and Wales, but they’re probably not the republicans you’re thinking of

We have a great pre-owned CD shop in Sheffield, and I go shopping there a few times a year. They’re so cheap, and there’s so many of them.

I’d forgotten what shopping for physical media was like. I find myself trying out something new quite often, as well.

Definitely worth a go.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

Eventually You're Going to Have to Stand for Something

On accepting the fascist offer and being better than Ezra.

I'll definitely post about our progress!

Just accepted a proposal to install a heat pump. It’ll be replacing a 20 year old, non-condensing gas boiler.

We’re looking at replacing five radiators, which we already knew were undersized.

Looking forward to the heating just being *on*, and having some cold rooms be usable all year round.

This is the first party political broadcast in a very long time that understands the trouble we’re in.

Great job @zackpolanski.bsky.social 💚

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

Share this and speak up for your freedoms.

I tried to get my Boots Covid jab booked before October, but they cancelled it due to no stock.

Now I can’t book another until 27th October.

Unbelievable that nobody seems to want the money.
