Finally sat down to do my self assessment tax ret-
OOOH!! My cat has just moved her little furry paw in her sleep!
*advances on said cat to wake her up and discuss the paw situation at length*

ICE murdered a nurse today
ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.
Renee Good said she wasn’t mad at ICE, ICE shot her in the head.
Alex Pretti helped a woman who’d just been pepper-sprayed get back up, ICE shot him once in the back and 9 times in his chest.
It’s not hard to figure out who are the good guys — and who are the bad guys who murdered them.
We need to stand with Minneapolis and stand up to this atrocity in every city across this nation.
There is no neutral position.
It's ICE or US.
It's time the American majority wielded our collective power.
Enough of this shit.
May the good people be counted now.
NEW: Federal agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37 y/o man, in Minneapolis this morning after he tried to render aid to a woman who had just been maced. Community quickly built barricades & called for ICE to leave. Authorities tear-gassed & arrested people. 🎥

“ICE officers…may be reassigned to apprehend newborns from the hospital for immediate deportation.”
This is 1933, not 2026.
It’s senseless, mindless, abhorrent, chilling.
@patersonjoseph.bsky.social I’ve just finished your incredible novel. I’ve been unable to write creatively for months but *this* has given me my spark back.
What a story. The ending in particular - I may have cried. Powerful stuff. (Oh god I’m gushing, yikes)
trans women are women
trans men are men
nonbinary people are nonbinary
and keir starmer is an absolute fuck
BITTERLY disappointed with Labour government thus far.
Welfare/benefits cuts will be more draconian than ye auld Cameron et al governments, so what does that tell you?
On behalf of disabled people and the most vulnerable in our society, I say SHAME ON YOU. SHAME.

There are two in Janet’s Foss, Malham in Yorkshire Dales. I think it’s a good luck thing… like throwing pennies into wishing wells. :)

Trump and Vance are not selling out Ukraine because of anything Zelenskyy said to them.
Trump and Vance are selling out Ukraine because of things Putin and Musk said to them.
Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.
Trump and chums blatant bullying and public humiliation of Zelenskyy was painful.
Absolutely nasty pieces of work. We have toddlers in charge of the States.
That’s not how you do diplomacy.
A Mermaid by John William Waterhouse (1873)
A mariner once loved a mermaid and on returning home with her to the Staffordshire Moorlands, he settled her in the black waters of Blakemere. When he died, her grief was terrible as alone and far from the sea, she lured young men to a watery death in the black waters of the Mere #WyrdWednesday
At the butterfly centre, this bad boy landed on my hair and wouldn’t get off. 30 mins later he’s still clinging on. We became friends. #Moths #transformation
This is true. And no one is racist about potatoes because it’s a potato. So stop it. #Racism
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful
...saying that, it sort of is Blue Monday in the sense that Trump takes over the presidency today. So that's pretty shit.
#Trumpinauguration
Repeat after me:
There. Is. No. Such. Thing. As. Blue. Monday.
It was a PR stunt 'created' years ago by a travel agency in 2005.
Absolutely, let's talk about mental health. But let's not buy into artificially created shit days.
