Has anyone else had a problem verying their adult status on Bluesky? Their process will not work for me and it's p!ssing me off so much I'm thinking of ditching Bluesky altogether.

I'm lucky to have her. She came to me via a charity called "Cats Protection". Lily had a difficult start to life. A previous owner kept her in a locked room all day will little or no stimulation. I have done my best to rehab her.

She brings such joy into my world. She calms me. She quietly listens to me. She makes me laugh with her playful antics. She looks me straight in the eye. She meows loudly when hungry. She's Lily, and I love her.

Say what you like, #Trump is, and always will be, a dangerous, clueless, rich as shit liability.

Just for the record, I'm not in favour of harmless, peaceful pensioners being dragged across the ground and thrown into police vans for anything whatsoever. Welcome to "democratic" Britain in 2025..and under a #labour government too. Sickening

Anyone with an ounce of integrity knows this unhinged, lying mouldy old orange f*ck-head is NOT welcome in the UK. The whole political system now spews from the gates of hell #Trump #FuckTrump #FuckOffTrump #OrangeDickHead
