I do wish the male skeleton commentators would stop referring to the three British athletes as 'girls' - they're all adult women, professionals at the top of their field, and I haven't heard their male counterparts called 'boys'. BBC be less patronising!!
One thing about me is I will always be a public transport stan. You're telling me this double decker vehicle will take me all through thr back roads of the west country? And I don't have to do anything? Sign me up
Mistle thrushes in the garden!!!
I am so deeply, profoundly lonely. I can physically feel it in my bones.
Gardening cancelled for the day and with it all my planned socialising. Welp guess it's time for a spontaneous hike so I don't have to be alone with my thoughts
Watching Hamnet as a survivor of vanishing twin syndrome makes me feel sooooo normal actually
Sometimes in the face of the shadow is when the light in you rises up. But I think you also need to know your own shadow and its tricks.
π Big win for wind power: in Europeβs biggest ever offshore wind auction, a record amount has been secured - enough to power over 12 million homes.
π‘ Only 15% of Brits donβt like seeing wind turbines in the countryside, with most of either generally liking seeing them, or not minding either way.
Omggggg just finished the new Amadeus and I am a WRECK, it is an absolute masterpiece and I am covered in tears and snot - and worst of all, am seriously considering going to the opera

Every imperial power drums up paranoid fears to justify aggression and expansion. If one excuse looks too ridiculous to attempt, another will always be found.
I hope 2026 is the year more people realise that putting into power known sexual predators with a predilection for fascism is something to be, errrrr, questioned at the very least and that it should not be considered an extremist position on the scales of media balance to bring the subject up
hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison
Screenshots from Andor when the Gorman councilman told Mon Mothma, βThey donβt even bother to lie badly anymore. I suppose thatβs the final humiliation.β
Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is.
It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime.
This is not patriotism. It's subservience.
Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it
Solidaridad con mis hermanes venezolanes, que merecen la democracia en sus propios tΓ©rminos y sin interferencia imperialista
Just a reminder apropos of nothing that the USA is an illegitimate settler colonial government on stolen indigenous land and itβs my delight to post this and thus make it impossible for me to be made to visit said hellhole
itβs not just that america is a rogue state, itβs that it is THE rogue state
all the y2k trends are coming back, i should have saved my kid my βno blood for oilβ shirts
It's actually important that, to the extent you are able, you stop using oil
We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.
Remember that the US *does not care* about the people of Venezuela. It is not about "narcotrafficking", or "democracy", or whatever propaganda they have going. It is *explicitly* about US control over oil, capital accumulation, and geopolitical power.
Itβs important to remember that most of the bad things in the world come from the same forces of greed, violence and empire. So whatever you do to fight one small part will contribute to the greater struggle
