About me:
I don’t do DM’s
Nor am I looking for a relationship
I keep my money for the things I require & desire
Flattery gets you nowhere
Feel free to unfollow me if you can’t stick to my rules
I know how to block & I’m not afraid to do so if you’re disrespectful

I knew there was a reason why I didn’t like mince pies 😱😂
Don't steal pies this Christmas.

Each of us has to decide whether we live in accordance with our principles or stay silent. Thank you @robinince.bsky.social for showing us the way to do it 💚
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years”

Hugely important point made by @vicderbyshire.bsky.social 👏

🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

Now imagine sharing your private fantasies with what you believe is a bot that cannot judge or remember. Just that, on the other side, is a man in a one-room home in Nairobi, pretending to be an AI companion.

That man is Michael, and this is his story: data-workers.org/michael/

I am picking up traction.
Not double figures yet.
Mr Trump has not picked up any reposts yet.
So there's that.
I shall ask one of my characters for an endorsement.
DEATH looked surprised.
"Well, you have given me far less business than Trump"
WAR grunted.
"Love Trump & drones"
The Pale horse farted.

I feel I should be awarded the inaugural Bluesy peace prize.
I have not killed anyone or started any wars.
Ever.
This puts me streets ahead of yesterday's FIFA Peace Prize winner.
I also try to be nice.
Funny too.
Helpful.
If this starts trending I will start shopping for a nice tuxedo & bow tie.

So many memories
in the corridors
of my mind.
The people and
times left behind.
Every old song
opens doors of
nostalgic thoughts.
The way my heart
hears them,
the way my soul
aches when the
lyrics puncture
my skin sending
goosebumps up
my spine,
bringing back
all of those times.

that can make even moderately normal comments feel aggressive.
