Adelaide Springett was so ashamed of her tattered boots, she took them off for this 1901 photograph.
She was 8 years old and recorded as lodging with her mother at the Salvation Army Shelter in Hanbury St.

Republicans are putting the lives of trans children at risk and getting in the way of families making personal decisions for their own children.
We should be HELPING these kids survive and thrive — but Republicans would prefer to use them as a political prop.

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”…
BULLSHIT.
@repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition.
This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

MPs warn that UK agreements with Donald Trump are ‘built on sand’.
UK bullied to pay billions more for NHS drugs produced by US companies, importing US beef, accept steel tariffs and more, without any reciprocity.
Can't trust Trump. US wants dominance, not partnership.
Rejoin the EU.

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

From the new chief of Britain's MI6:
"Hundreds of thousands have died, with the toll mounting every day, because of Putin’s historical distortions and his compromised desire for respect. He is dragging out negotiations and shifting the cost of war onto his own population."

All of the sycophants surrounding him are culpable. They allow this, they say nothing and it encourages him to seek new lows.
I blame him, but I blame the people that are doing nothing more. They have power, they refuse to use it.
