I live in a town with a population of just under 100k. Within my town there are 25 primary schools. Any household in my town has a choice of at least 3-4 primary schools within walking distance. Walking is also encouraged by making school areas strictly no parking with low speed limits.

America is a car dependency hellscape. Why not just have schools within walking distance of communities. Also without the school shootings.

Fantastic watch. I love all the attention to detail and you guys are just amazing with eachother. Doesn't matter if you're winning or losing, you're having a great time and that's what these games should be about.

Almost every single 'Trans' account has hundreds or thousands of followers/following. Has thousands of posts. They're either bots or terminally online.

You never see them outside of political posts.

The secret? They're not LGBT. They're pushing a culture war which feeds into the extreme right.

You're somewhat wrong here.
This is nothing to do with 'trans people' or the 'trans agenda'.
But you're right about an army of bots.
It's pushing a culture war. Culture wars feed the extreme right. If people are talking about trans (or migrants, or gays) then they're NOT talking about the ultra rich

Today on my little adventures I spotted a friend. I try not to intervene in nature but it was crawling around on and near a footpath with a lot of foot traffic, dogs and bicycles that travel over it, so I moved it a little bit off into the undergrowth. #TouchGrass

Well said. Keep it up and ignore the trolls on this platform.

On my walk today I spotted a great many things. The birds were too flighty to photograph, the rabbits too hoppy, and the thousands of baby fish too glittery. This mushroom, possibly an Agaricus Augustus (Prince), was more than happy to pose for me, though. #TouchGrass

The comment you replied to already states it's by Eddie Vedder, though. Your comment is irrelevant, and being rude doesn't make any sense either.

She publicly took 10 grand. What other incentives has she been given below the table?

I'm not surprised. I genuinely expected better of her to be honest. There are some great councillors under the Labour party in the area who listen to feedback and deliver results. I'm hoping we have a true alternative come 2029 and those councillors move over to it.

The Trade union council featuring in the photo I posted ends up collaborating much more with the green party than it does with labour nowadays. Always going to the same events as the greens whereas labour doesn't appear in an official capacity, although I do see labour members at them too.

In 1984 lesbians and gays joined miners striking when the government sequestered union funding. The trade unions have not forgotten the support received from a community that seemed a world apart from the miners, and since then trade unions march in solidarity in pride protests (Today In Darlington)

Sometimes just having the right people in the council makes all the difference. Every couple of weeks the councillors come to the community centre to speak with us during the food bank time and since we know the concerns and desires of the community we can feed it back to them.

We're seeing a bit of change, my local community centre has just gotten funding to renovate the playground and that got done within a week. Brand new slides, swings, pull up bars, benches etc. It's been needing to be done for the best part of a decade. We just got another government grant too.

Since the country runs off the back of volunteers, how about giving them free bus travel? I volunteer for Scouts, A food bank, and for my local community centre and will also volunteer in schools and litter picking at a less regular capacity. Free bus travel would mean I could volunteer more.

I've had run ins with the exact same people on other alternative social media platforms. I recognise some of them. The ONLY way to deal with them is to just block them on sight. Do not bother engaging in conversation or argument. They are aggressive, ignorant and toxic. There's 0 point. Just block.

I do think it's amusing that whenever people make fun of my drawings because they're "childish" I have to remember they're childish because I stopped drawing when I was a child because people started making fun of my drawings. This is why we need a supportive and encouraging environment.

I've had run ins with a few of them on other social media sites like Discuit and Squabblr. I'm well versed in their behaviour and how they treat genuine LGBT folk. You're never good enough, never moral enough, never as superior as them, and therefore you must be a Nazi. They disgust me.

07.08.2025 11:08 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Neither do I, as I block them on sight.

The trolls are not actually genuine LGBT folk. They are a group of people (and bots) which exist on all alternative social media platforms. They exist to twist the narrative and make the platform as toxic as possible for folks from vulnerable demographics. I've seen it over and over again.

Fair enough. I tried to word it to convey such a meaning but seems like I missed my mark. The character limits on this platform do annoy me sometimes.

This is why I said "Letting it pass". Are you telling me it would have been impossible for labour to repeal it?

If being high is 'essential' to any part of your life or the ability to experience something deeply, then I would see that as a problem.

I've got nothing against people choosing to get high, but I do find it frustrating when people glorify them or act like they're necessary.

Also don't accuse someone of lying when you're not certain. I don't expect an apology but fact checking is important before accusations fly.
