My second post.
Why are early birds so judgey?
I’m a night owl. Rarely in bed before 3 - cannot function properly till noon. But super productive later.
Why do early birds feel themselves superior.
Have all of them bowed down to capitalism?

Picture of a crisp and cold Glasgow University

My university - @uofglasgow.bsky.social A place I grew up 20 mins from & never considered attending here would be a possibility for me. Every day I’m so very happy & proud. Even cold and early mornings.
The days hot chocolate & cosy hat & scarves were made for

We've got choices.
Agree to disagree, unfollow, mute, or block. We won't argue with anyone being bigoted here,we'll report and block. Let's make this place more pleasant than the Xitter we've just come from.

Yes. Nail on head Kez. I either retreated or reacted angrily.
Neither healthy or helpful.
Looking forward to healthy engagements with a good dose of charitable & considered convos & book chat & cats of course. Here in the good place.

Petition: Decriminalise Abortion I am calling on the UK government to remove abortion from criminal law so that no pregnant person can be criminalised for procuring their own abortion.

America are going backwards. Decriminalisation of abortion is LONG overdue in the U.K. Please sign, share on other platforms. Send to friends. Ask them to forward it too. We need to protect ourselves.
