Amazing to remember Mahmood once boasted: "We lay down in the street and we lay down inside Sainsbury's to say we object to them stocking goods from illegal settlements – and that they must stop. We managed to close down that store at peak time on a Saturday.This is how we can make a difference."

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

I first heard that joke at a holiday camp comedy night. The other joke I remember maybe hasn't stood the test of time as well. You might even need an older librarian to explain it to you

What's green and gets you drunk?

A giro...

Is there room amongst all this for you to be taking Cate of yourself? Oxygen mask and all that...

It was a known known that some of the hostages' bodies were unlocatable in the wake of the bombing etc. This was always on the cards, always part of the plan 😕

Worse things happen - for instance if he'd fallen ill once we were there. Still, it's an unwelcome development.

How's your aunt doing?

We were supposed to fly to Madrid yesterday but the Industrial Organiser came down with a mega respiratory infection Sunday night, so today has been medical consults and trying to claim on the travel insurance. Not big compared with some stuff, would have preferred to get away

There, in the corner
A shrine. Candles. A teddy
Gone. Not forgotten.

There are many antiabortion centres masquerading as clinics in the U.K. They spread wild disinformation e.g. that abortion causes breast cancer and are funded by American orgs and THE NATIONAL LOTTERY. Read! 👇🏻 www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

What is the truth about crisis pregnancy centres in the UK?

Crisis pregnancy centres which have been known to “misinform” women around abortion have become increasingly “professionalised” in the UK.

It's tricky walking alongside someone whose exercise of their right to autonomy is well on the way to misguided.

craftyprimrose.bsky.social @craftyprimrose.bsky.social · 17h

That sounds miserable and vexing. I'm sorry you have this to deal with.

i feel like i need to share this oldie but a goodie today

A tumblr post that reads "WHo would have believed that the perfect wikipedia photo caption could have been improved upon?" Two identical images are then side by side. The first caption is "Piper Kerr, a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904". The Caption for the image on the left reads, "Piper Kerr (right), a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904"

I was in my late 20s/ early 30s the 90s and couldn't actually identify any music I think might meet your criteria. Maybe they need artist names or song titles? Genuinely not being snarky here, just wondering if there's a communication gap?

Almost obligatory shot of Heron with reflection, this time at RSPB Lakenheath but no fish were harmed in the making of this photo. 😉
