The most powerful nation in the history of the world elected as president the biggest crybaby in the history of the world. America put in the White House one of the most insecure, unloved, dishonest, ignorant, narcissistic psychopaths who’s ever lived. It’s really something when you think about it.👇
President Trump said he's ending "all trade negotiations" with Canada because of recent television ads protesting US tariffs. https://cnn.it/42U06zw

People, please don't assume it's ok to call others by 'pet' names and diminutives, certainly not in a professional context, unless individuals have introduced it themselves. A work colleague doesn't have the right to assume a level of intimacy that the other hasn't offered and may not welcome

Hi, anyone dealing with Staples (UK) at the moment? They've delivered someone else's stationery package to me by mistake and their phone lines are closed, weirdly

#namingofcats My tabby cat is called Tallulah, Lula for short. Cat naming being what it is, over time that became Lulaboo. So when we got our kitten Spike, he of course became the Babyboo. But tell that to a non cat person and they will look at you as if you have lost your mind

Our little kitten is a lot less little than he was. Fast catching up with big sister Tallulah (she's not a big cat). She won't be able to administer the Paw of Justice when he misbehaves for much longer

The first of June marks the beginning of #PrideMonth2025, and the importance of fighting the intolerance of the new right has never felt so pressing.
