I tied these ribbons to the railings today outside what was HMP Holloway. There is no other sign at the site to remind people that a thousand suffragettes were imprisoned here and some were tortured. #InternationalWomensDay

Folks, I see a lot of you recently feeling free to use some variation of the "R" word for mentally disabled, including appending the last four letters as suffix to describe people you don't like. I'm not down with that, so if you do it in my comments, I'm gonna hide that shit at least. Be better.

Superb interview by @craigbennett3.bsky.social at 6.53 this morning. On the national consensus for a flourishing, regenerative economy. And on why the Chancellor is picking a fight she doesn’t need to have - with the nation’s bats & newts.

A reminder that you don't have to rely on social media (here or anywhere else) for news. Legit news organizations/journalists have their own sites/feeds and you can make time to visit them and catch up if you like. Then curate your social media to be what you need it to be for your own well-being.
