And there’s such difference between a film done in 2010 and one in the 2020s! I find the make up on the earlier ones is always orange with tide marks 😁 Afternoon beautiful! Hope you’re having a great day. Xx

And the price of insurance was outstanding! Especially if you went on someone’s policy. Damn Shane they stopped all that.

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long.
There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵

Scientists develop first ‘accurate blood test’ to detect chronic fatigue syndrome

Research could offer hope for ME patients – but some experts urge caution and say more studies needed

www.bbc.com/news/article...

I've seen first hand the collapse of the Wye in Powys/Herefordshire from pristine environment to toxic sludge.

Those who have caused and enabled this destruction must be accountable.

River Wye pollution prompts UK's largest environmental lawsuit

Livestock and water companies are accused of “extensive” pollution in the Wye, Lugg and Usk rivers.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I still think the 80s were 20 years ago. From the year 2000-2020, it seems to be just a blip

Not gonna lie, this hurt my feelings.

A screenshot in two halves. Top and bottom.
The top half is a photo of an old VW car, I think it’s a 1st generation golf approx age 80s/90s although most likely wrong about that. Text above this car in black on white back ground says.
“20 year old car” in my head
The bottom half shows a photo of a 20 year old silver Audi. The black text on white background just above the image says:
“20year old car.” In reality.
