I am a woman of simple pleasures and right now I'm getting to do one of my favourite things in the world - booking a skip and then throwing lots of garbage into said skip.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

I usually have my beloved NTS Radio on while I work, but if I'm tackling a particularly meaty project, it's nice to have something soothing on while I rant at my laptop about a) social media platforms, b) the general public or c) both.

Had this on all morning while I work and not only is it immensely soothing, but it's wonderful to see such talented people playing such beautiful music. It's on until 20th October too, what joy! www.youtube.com/live/sIgtpt5...

I think what people replying to this are missing is that Dean Street is home to both a gender clinic and a sexual health clinic. I've been to both many times over the years, they're a vital lifeline for many people.

This is intimidation of staff and patients.

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

Peacehaven: Fire at East Sussex mosque probed as 'hate crime'

We are in an awful awful mess in this country where people have been murdered and you see the media wheels spin within minutes, heading straight to the opportunistic cudgels, followed quickly by the politicians and the Met - they’re disgracefūl monsters

It was extremely difficult yesterday to even comprehend the attack knowing that fascists, journalists and politicians were already getting ready to pounce on us

Just seen a TikTok talking about the amount of fanfic on AO3 about certain football managers. Pep is the most popular (obvs), followed by Arteta. Somehow, Eddie Howe is third??
