Love 'Supernatural'. Annoyed with the world and politically angry. Writing, books, art and nature keep me sane.

1/ This is a slightly edited thread of mine from the other side. I want to pin it here (if I can work out how to do so) because it still seems relevant.
Unfortunately, it's quite long, so I hope you'll stay with it. It starts with me re-watching an old anime series & finding a hidden gem.

Speaking as a member of a political party which doesn't take donations from billionaire oligarchs and doesn't have that much money for publicity, I would like to propose a vote of thanks to the Spectator for doing our publicity for us for free.

Media organisations printing false or misleading information should be required to print their apologies/retractions in the same place with the same prominence as the original article....
Please sign the petition to make it a legal requirement.

I constantly hear people ask "How are the Israelis supposed to live next to the people who want to kill them?"

When is anyone gonna ask "How can the Palestinians live with under the rule of the people who actually did a genocide and have made very clear they will do it again?"

Tbf, we have no idea who brought it in.
It's just annoying as hell that at a time that it spikes so rapidly, the vaccines haven't been available generally.

Barbara @barbaracrazycat.bsky.social · 1d

I managed to avoid covid right up until now. I'm a PA and thanks to the change in rules, I'm no longer eligible for the covid vaccine. I now have covid, as does the clinically vulnerable person I work for.

Certain Labour MPs are worried that backing Phillipson would make them unpopular with their LGBTQ constituents.

I just want to reassure those MPs.

Being in the Labour Party makes you unpopular with your LGBTQ constituents.

Staying with cats...
The black footed cat is the smallest of the wildcats, but also the deadliest hunter with an approx 60% successful hunting rate.
They could also be argued to be the cutest looking cats on the planet as well!

This is the clouded leppard. It is the only member of the cat family that has specially adapted paws, allowing it to climb down trees facing downwards with no problems.

Spotted and striped wild cat walking on the forest floor. It has it's right front leg raised. It's paws are very large.

Dammit!

Fucked off to hell...
Boosters should've been available to anyone who wants them.
