In the year ending 31 December 2024, there were 248 arrests for terrorist-related activity in Great Britain. The 10 year median is 265.

Under Labour this number is already over 2000.

This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Don't forget Labour and the Tories stocking racism.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

Got my order from @canopyrobin.com super quick even though they're from across the pond! I have a few ideas where some of these are gonna go...

A large trans flag sticker, some stickers with the text "we've been here the whole time" with trans flag colored loops like the ones from the show game changer, a pin with the lesbian flag and trans colors coming in from the side like a progress flag

Sleeping is the most common cause of my own injuries.

Yet it is what my body craves most.

Thanks a lot vicious cycle.

I don't know how or why we went so wrong on gambling. Money obviously, but other countries do a lot better.

It stood out to me when I was on a train the other day which had gambling adverts with school children sat underneath them.

It felt so wrong.

Gambling needs to go the way of tobacco, removed from public view.

RIP Drew Struzan. His posters are a huge part of my childhood. Iconic images and what a range! From Black Sabbath to the Muppets. I really recommend the Art of Drew Struzan book. The anecdotes about the creation of each poster are fascinating.

It should be the government for failing to manage our money by giving it to unscrupulous individuals.

Exceptionally poor contractor management.

...means you probably have a disability.

Disability is a spectrum but that should not diminish your own personal experience and struggles. Others will have it worse but that doesn't invalidate your suffering.

Be easy on yourself ❤️

Coming to terms with disability and accepting your own limitations is a long and difficult personal journey.

You can feel disabled one day and totally fine another which makes you question whether or not you are "actually" disabled.

But just having those days where you question it...

I went down the FiLiA rabbit hole, they are ripping each other apart and it is glorious.

I support TERF on TERF violence.

Why bother? If you're still a Labour member at this point, you must know what you're voting for. The party is transphobic to the core. We all know what's coming, no matter who wins the deputy leadership.

Bridget Philipson is trying to get grab even more power, but her ‘gender critical’ transphobic supporters and the trans-hostile media are lobbying HARD to get anti-trans legislation in place ASAP, as they can’t bear to wait a moment longer to exclude trans people! 😖

Just about anything related to youth funding was cut.

Just look at the absolute shit show of CAMHS (youth mental health service) for the last 30 years.
