I work for an organisation in Handsworth. As a white person I love to go there and join the diverse vibrant community. If @robertjenrickmp.bsky.social can't understand that, then Im sorry for him. He and his narrow mind are missing out.

It always amuses me the way racists and bigots always say 'I'm not a racist but...' and then say something racist. Why not own it? #riots #immigrants

Really sick of the media showing pictures of white people with union jacks shouting crap about immigrants and excusing it as legitimate concerns, when in fact all it is is racism. No other word for it.

Just finished NZ Traitors Season 2. The genius of this program is that each season is completely different. Roll on the next Traitors UK #Traitors

I find it really strange that Andy Murray used to get all this coverage- win or lose- yet Alfie Hewett, multiple winner of both singles and doubles at Wimbledon and runner up this year barely gets a mention on the news. Ableism at its very best.

Being shy and being unfriendly are not the same thing, but sadly most people can't tell the difference. #mentalhealthawareness

Watching the celebrities sitting in the Royal Box at Wimbledon, while others have to go into ballot or queue all night to get in, I wonder at a society that gives such privileges to entertainers, sports people and the Royal family, while teachers, doctors, carers etc work for low wages.

What an irony that climate change is, to a certain extent, driving people out of warmer climes to seek refuge in the North. At the same time, unusually warm hot and calm conditions mean that the conditions are good for small boats to cross the Channel.

Norman Tebbit described in the Mail as 'anti-woke Brexiteer'. Hmm I bet he wasn't 'woke' when it came to disability rights. With his wife paralysed from the neck down and all that.

Thought for tonight.
How utterly impossible it is to be a parent of an adult.
It's emotionally exhausting watching them make poor choices while others hurt them.

Why is that that human beings or the societies they live in, insist on pretending they are fine when they're not.
Why's it embarrassing to admit how you feel?
FINE = Fragile, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional.

So here's my first one.
The Reform Party. They have real power now.
In Warwickshire, they are trying to get the Pride flag removed from WCC HQ. In Kent, they are removing anything relating to Trans people from children's sections in libraries.
If you are a minority of any form, be aware.

I've decided to start writing my 'Thought for the Night'. Because it usually is in the Night that I have thoughts and worries about the state of the world. Rather than doomscrolling through social media, I'm going to get it out of my system first thing and get in with my day.

So, Baroness Owen has now been made VP of a company with Johnson co-director.
Are we still going with: Boris made her a peer out of boredom/thoughtlessness/whetever and people like @arusbridger.bsky.social asking questions are just ageist/misogynist?

First a peerage, now a plum job—why does Boris keep promoting Charlotte Owen?
Baroness Owen was just 29 when she was given a life peerage by the former prime minister. A year on, she has another new role. What makes her so uniquely qualified?

This is riveting. Shocking but not really surprising. How unlikely is it really that the U.K. hasn’t been similarly targeted? ‘Among the types of influencers listed as possible collaborators are actors, politicians, media representatives, activists, and clergymen’
Russia is backing 600 US-based influencers, & the list is not released. I'm sure stand-up comics are on there. They also said gamers and minorities. If they aren't releasing a list, there is more to come from the DOJ.

DOJ: Russia Aimed Propaganda at Gamers, Minorities to Swing 2024 Election
Newly unsealed court documents reveal in unprecedented detail a campaign called the Good Old USA Project, which Russian authorities believed could impact the US election.

Sitting here watching @skynews.com.web.brid.gy this morning.
The rolling banner at the bottom flags up harassment and bullying of LGBT+ employees in the workplace.
I'd extend that to neurodivergent employees. I've seen some shocking bullying in the workplace #disability

I view the start of the Paralympics with mixed feelings. On the one hand I love the very French games and the sporting excellence. On the other, I get nothing else done for two weeks. 😀 #Paralympics

@quietriotpod.bsky.social I listened to a few episodes of the pod yesterday. How brilliant to hear Naomi's voice again. Just need @iandunt.bsky.social to drop in with a sweary rant every now and again. It would be just like old times.😂

Really sad to hear my mixed race autistic son was subjected to a racist rant last night. As always, just like when I am on the receiving end of such comments -generally from people who don't know me or my background- the response is 'oh I don't mean your sort of brown people🙄'

A shocking set of answers to a recent poll. You have to be a person of colour to really understand how this feels.
Too many white people kid themselves that we live in a lovely, inclusive mulit- cultural society.
