#socialmedia #meta #bluesky I have no wish to cause any offence but I will be here less & less in the near future. I'm finding myself increasingly drawn to using beige.party/settings/pro... pop over sometime 😎 It's still within the #fediverse 👍🏽✊🏾 and suits me fine!

beige.party

A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

#UKPolitics #RejoinEU I'm ever the optimist so 🤞 but, a really big butt..the 'rseholes of #LeaveMeansLeave within the Tory Party will stall this for as long as possible & right-wing press will call it 'betrayal' which our 'populist' #LINO P.M. will take note of.

The bare-faced audacity of Badenoch, who has the nerve to talk about children with special needs while ignoring the impact of Tory austerity that has left so many struggling without support.

I'm drawn to this like a moth to a flame. I had career in the City of London including a spell with Clarkson's Register of Shipping.
Not people but oil & gas to UN sanctioned nations. e.g. The Republic of South Africa (in the early 1980's)

Lloyd’s Register apologises for its role in trafficking enslaved people from Africa

The maritime group, founded in 1760 by merchants and underwriters, issued the apology after commissioning research into its links to slavery

#food #photography #electrichob after some coaxing I finally persuaded the #electric hob to help with jccooking a half decent curry. It requires 'sensitive' hands and no hurry. A bit like cooking on an old recalcitrant #AGA .

A brown wooden bowl with tumeric & sultana rice on one side, on the other a mixed green vegatable curry with the odd cheeky carrot in the frame.

I dunno, man. If I didn’t want to be called a nazi, I probably wouldn’t have endorsed a German far-right party, giving its leader a platform to millions of my followers, then done a straight-arm salute live on stage in front of 20,000 people and the world’s media.
