β€œWe Will REPLACE LABOUR”: Zack Polanski Says Labour’s Time Over
YouTube video by Owen Jones β€œWe Will REPLACE LABOUR”: Zack Polanski Says Labour’s Time Over

Just watched an excellent Zack Polanski interview ( leader of the UK Green Party) by Owen Jones. Highly recommended. Polanski gives me hope that we can turn this country around and have a better future than what we're facing right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_qa...

Huzzah! I got out for a shortish walk after lunch - my first time out the house since Monday thanks to the ice, snow & too-cold-for-my-asthmatic-lungs air. I'm relaxing now until I start work at 4pm. This weekend is a bit easier than my usual timetable so I shouldn't be as knackered by Mon as usual.

Urgh - not a fun experience being so cold but glad you got your laundry done & a walk. We're planning to go out after lunch for a short amble (my first time out since Monday!!)

Happy Friday folks! We have blue skies! The snow's melting! It's still horrifically cold & I need to wear a mask outside! πŸ₯Ά At least I can get outside though. We're doing laundry & I've also got housework done so I'm taking a pacing break. I've got work 4-6 so not too bad. Hope you have a good one x

Glad you've seen it ☺️ I'm sorry, I haven't had anything to share on SFTW for a while as I've been working through a ton of podcasts and video essays on YouTube so haven't been watching scripted TV. When I'm back in the headspace for it I'll definitely be joining in again though πŸ’œ

Women in support of the trans+ community - Not in our name

Hey Cis folks, if you're an ally of Trans+ folx, would you mind singing this Not In Our Name petition, please?
It calls on the media to report truthfully that the greatest threat to women isn't Trans+ folx, but cis men.
Thanks.

Right. After resting most of the day to build up spoons I've batch-cooked jacket potatoes (for 2 days) veggies (for approx 4 days) and an epically huge GF/veggie lasagna (??? days? I'll freeze what doesn't get used today or tomorrow).

Happy Thursday folks! We've had a bit more snow overnight so it's cold, icy and a day to stay inside. Thankfully I can, as it's a day off. We overslept this morning - didn't set alarms as we didn't need to - and I only got a 3/5 on Visible so an easy day will do me good. Hope you have a good one x

2 pieces of velvet folded up next to each other on the back of a sofa. One is a bright turquoise and the other a deeper mid blue.

I've not sold many foot stools this year, so as well as putting all the existing ones on sale .. i'm thinking of trying something new...

These bright plain velvet colours..
But with patterned fabric legs.... Any thoughts? I'm going really bright.

My dad got home safely 😊

I got through work (although the second class was very stressful - not the student's fault, just circumstances) and now I am flopping and resting with a hot water bottle because (a) it's cold and (b) my tummy's acting up. At least tomorrow's a free day & I can stay in.

Yep! I had a loved one go through this - thankfully he went straight to A&E to get it sorted and was OK. You don't mess with this stuff.

PSA for today, anyone with testicles:
If painful, twisted or swollen (and, you know, the usual relief doesn’t help) get medical help ASAP. They can go very wrong, very quickly.
Don’t be too embarrassed about your balls to ask about them.

Looking for a sensitivity reader for a new full length musical about anxiety, food journalism, and work/life balance! The protagonist has #POTS and we want to make sure she's represented correctly, since my own chronic illness is different. Happy to give you a little money for your time! ❀️

Woo! Lots of birbs out & about despite the cold! I can hear a ton of house sparrows chittering out there but that's about it here. I guess we're a tad colder than you right now, although the sun has come out.
