Pop her in a pot of compost with a drizzle of well water and she'll be sprouting back in no time. 🧅🌱

She's, uh... not very nice, is she.

Fuck 'em up. 🏳️‍⚧️

I block most of them on sight these days honestly.

Also that 'are young people to scruffy at work these days' made me see red. Our society's contempt for young people is totally out of control and it only serves the owning class trying to divide us.

It's a shame she was completely incapable of engaging with the matter. Well done for not rising to her nonsense.

I'm sure she does actually care. But she's internalised our culture of disgust towards people with problematic relationships with drugs. She won't be convinced until we make it happen.

More 'sensible centrists' nonsense.

They're both plagued by problems of their own making. Why? Say it with me!

Centrists 👏 Always 👏 Slide 👏 Right

"We thought it was clear how we feel about everyone's rights"

Aye, you were doing free marketing for a transphobe. That's pretty clear.

You may be right. Maybe it's time to bring out the big guns.

Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 5h

That last one is genuinely frightening.

lol. lmao even

Borders are the way we escape the consequences of our foreign warmongering and economic abuse of other countries. They keep our victims out so our politicians can pretend we aren't committing heinous crimes.

Abolish borders. ✊

It's not a time bomb. It's people who look a bit different or speak a different language.

Moral panic about the origin of people having children is nationalist racism and we need to call it that. Trying to 'both sides' an argument involving great replacement conspiracists is absurd.

Labour really doesn't care about anyone, does it?

Have you checked to see if @scottishgreens.org are right for you? They are pro-indepedence and share a lot of values with GPEW, but operate independently.

There's hopefully going to be more collaboration in the future now that GPEW is addressing transphobia in the party.

You can join both! I have.

You don't get very much useful stuff out of them - mostly periwinkles, snails and so on - but I think they're fun! I use the fish to make quality fertiliser.

Oh no, is the money sad again? I suppose Govt will have to cull more poor and disabled people until it's happy again.

Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 22h

I'm sorry, what?

The filth are already almost completely unaccountable. And she wants to make the extra murderous ones anonymous? Absolutely not.

We've seen that Labour are willing to empower the police and deploy them to suppress dissent. This escalation is incredibly concerning.

Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 23h

inspiring. an example for us all

Oooooooooh. That's even more exciting. I'll be keeping a mean peep on them!

A small mystery has emerged in my seeds from @nkdgardener.bsky.social

A few seedlings have emerged like the one in the left. But the one on the right, with similar leaves and colouration, has leaves in threes not fours!

A different species? A mysterious mutation? Hopefully we'll find out!

A photograph of a seedling. It has four spear shapes leaves and a central pair of budding ones, with an orange-red central bud.

And one of the solutions - the bus - is right there in the photo being held up by traffic lights designed for cars. 🙃

The Guardian is talking abstractly about real people but humanising corporations.

People need jobs if they want to eat or have shelter. But corporations are being allowed to decide the terms for who gets the 'privilege' of selling their labour.

That's kinda fucked up.

But Nellis said employers were simply too scared to take a chance on younger people when minimum wages and taxes were much higher than last year.

People have been warning about this for months. But The Guardian published article after article of sanitised hate speech from exterminationist hate groups.

Labour's extremist cabinet, including Wes Streeting and Bridget Phillipson, pushed for this exterminationist platform. No one stopped them.
