I have deeply offended my cat, he was sitting on me, on my heated blanket, all comfy. Not only did I DARE to move and reach over to the coffee table, but I then peeled and ate a satsuma.

From the look on his face the orangey smell is akin to mustard gas.

The VAWG Curriculum: Day 15
Natalie Queiroz was facing the man who attempted to murder her being transferred to an open prison after serving just 9 years. He has now been sent back to closed prison.
BUT it's not over. It will only be six months until he is re-assessed again. That's not justice.

Important question- Is Apple crumble a perfectly valid food for dinner?

❤️-Yes and I would eat it for dinner
💜-Yes but for dessert not dinner
😡-No and I am risking being blocked by you

Thank you for all the kind words and messages, it genuinely means a lot xx
I’ve just had the worst call from my sister, my beautiful niece has died.
She spent over a year in & out of hospital, lost over 30lbs, but no one listened. My sister fought so hard for answers, but she was passed from pillar to post until her heart gave out.
She was only 34, with two young children.

Yesterday’s me wrote a to-do list for today, because she was “determined not to waste the day again”.

Today’s me really doesn’t like her attitude.

How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul”

Of course not. Anyone who hasn’t figured out he is a racist fucknugget by now is unlikely to care he is racist.
Stop giving oxygen to this moron.

When Chris Rea takes a look at the driver next to him and notices that he's "just the same", what he doesn't realise is that he's accidentally just seeing himself in his own wing mirror.

I had a strange foreign man poke my bottom today and it’s sore. 👀

(I had a steroid injection in my hip, my practitioner is a lively man from Belgium)

(I also found out they don’t have Belgium buns in Belgium)

The utter hypocrisy of
Reform backed vigilante groups
with domestic violence perpetrating members
which say they care about women's safety
while eulogising leaders
who proudly promote misogyny
