The way IT is managed in organisations due to GPRD is fucking absurd. I literally spend the first hour of my day fighting IT and then throughout my day stumbling into issues of simple tasks I can’t do due to IT limitations. I want to throw this piece of shit out the window rn.

This issue with vets really gets on my nerves. My local vet got bought up by a chain, and every time we took Zsa Zsa, I felt like it was a fishing exercise looking for ways to shaft us. The vet at our new house is independent (we think) so hopefully will be better #SkyNews

Charlie Kirk receiving the Presidential medal of freedom. Just fuck off. He clearly didn’t deserve to die but let’s not pretend he was anything other than a divisive fucking horror.

Gosh I so get that feeling. Hahah. I’m not far behind and I feel the same. I worry about most things much less but I worry about my mortality much more.

I know right. I found it really moving. I also found it comforting as I think about getting older.

Same. I do think about getting older all the time and reading that really moved me.

I love this so much, such a beautiful way to think about growing older.

I’m a news junkie and I’ve had to stop watching coverage because I can’t deal with the praise of Trump. This one thing does not erase who he is. Clearly I’m glad there has been a cease fire but it isn’t a peace deal, Israel is still guilty of war crimes and Trump is still a cunt.

We’ve all noticed the right now trying to brand us all as Christian. It sounds weird and sticks out like a sore thumb in the UK, because we just don’t really identify like that anymore. It’ll be interesting to see the knuckle draggers all claiming to be Christian and reciting the Apostles’ Creed.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

Even if there's lasting peace between Israel and Gaza, this doesn't take away from the fact Netanyahu and Trump are both fascist authoritarian leaders.

The former is a war criminal responsible for genocide, and the latter a convicted criminal who wants to impose military rule in America.

It’s about time, though. For them to suddenly start doing this is going to look like a panic response to Reform and make it easy for Reform to call it out as such. If they had hammered this message from the start, ( because it’s true )perhaps we wouldn’t be where we are.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Just finished Kamala Harris’s book. It’s been like reading a story where you already know the ending but you are willing it to be different. She ran a brilliant campaign and she would have been an amazing President.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

I can’t deal with this sanitisation of Trump by the media. He is still all of the things we said he was. His having some positive involvement in the peace deal doesn’t undo any of that. He is a threat to global peace and democracy. He is an authoritarian wannabe dictator, and he is a psychopath.

He ain’t winning that award. Even the fact they they gave it to someone fighting for democracy when Trump is literally dismantling it is a two fingers up to him.
