My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Over 80% of culled badgers were found to be disease free.
The view of nature as an expendable annoyance, instead of our vital life support system, has no limits.

I arrived back from our holiday keen to continue the fun with several items on my calendar. Unfortunately the lurgy was upon me. My daughter was far worse, maybe because she didn’t have the flu jab. An abrupt end to the fun, and back to work tomorrow if I’m better ☹️

1. The European Parliament’s attempt to ban plant-based foods from being sold as “sausages”, “burgers” etc is a direct response to livestock industry lobbying. This is a short thread on how utterly bleeding ridiculous it is. 🧵1/6

I was delighted to get off the bus in Manchester & see a Timmy’s. We bought a latte, some nibbles, & some Timbits for my son who we were visiting. Then we felt awful about all the waste we’d generated - just for a snack! This will one day be as shameful as smoking in the same room as a small child.

Staying at my partner’s mum’s in Kendal. She’s insisting that I use this time to relax and not let my partner talk me into any 16 mile hikes.
He’s taking me on a bus to Ambleside for a “mooch”. He’s just checked that I’m wearing my walking socks. Hmmm…

Met my sunshine in Manchester to see how he’s doing in his new situation. I’m much happier now that I’ve met his friends and seen his accommodation.
Now in Kendal for a few days. First task will be to buy a new rain coat…

My brain’s not well at all today-depression, but I made this photo to try to lift my dark thoughts & have hidden a tiny owl in it. If you find it &/or your brain likes this image maybe let me know below? Connecting with other humans is another way to lift very low mood 🌿

After following @masatojones.bsky.social since the Twitter days and being a fan of their work, I finally got to pop into their shop today. So many lovely indie items, and such a friendly person. I’ll be back 😁

Leaving York and heading to Leeds. York was a bit too busy for me, but I loved the Barbican.
I’m really enjoying visiting places that are new to me.

Terrible nights sleep in York. People shouting in the streets all night. Huge argument at 5am. Such a shame for a beautiful location to be tarnished by bellends.

Left work to discover I had a puncture. My workplace is not close to any people and I’m always the last to leave. Didn’t feel safe trying to fix it so walked to the main road to catch a bus. The service in Norwich is shite! Having to wait in the cold with no shelter for over 20 minutes, if I’m lucky

My partner rode my bike ahead of me last night so I was able to see the brake light function in my SeeMe300. I’m so glad I have it. I worry when I need to turn at the bottom of a hill but can’t signal because I need both hands to brake. Drivers who are right up my arse can see that I’m slowing down.
