Brave

Two beavers sat in the shallow water at the edge of a river. One is smiling towards the camera, looking content while the other looks like it is falling asleep into a willow branch it is eating.

Today is International Beaver Day! 🦫🎉

These marvellous mammals are incredible ecosystem engineers, capable of creating wetlands which benefit a whole range of other wildlife. 💚

Hopefully getting home from an 8 week stay in hospital so I can see my baby girl again.

What’s going on, why can the Government U Turn and relax non-dom tax rules but can’t do the same with Winter Fuel Allowance?

For folks who got the Emergency Alert, stopped the noise and lost the Alert Message because it isn’t stored on your phone texts etc (at least on an iPhone 11)

We’ll just have to disagree on what constitutes as ‘meddling’

£50m robbed from the NHS by Michelle Mone went on this Mega-yacht.

Did Donald Trump just say that Elon Musk helped him rig the election?

“[Elon Musk] knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide."

Why are UK Political Party members involving themselves (meddling) in US Democracy? We can’t complain about our democracy being affected by US Politicians if our Political Party’s are doing the exact same thing meddling in US Democracy. I might be reading your original post but I don’t think I am.

There’s none taking on new patients in my little Ayrshire town either. Our dentist moved to Glasgow last year for a private practice that let her have more time at home with the kids (better money too) and they’ve been trying to recruit a new one for 9 months now

Dartmoor jail that pays Duchy £1.5m a year may never reopen Riddled with rats, HMP Dartmoor, which closed in August over toxic gas fears, has 24 years left on its lease

Why is our taxpayer's money going to the Royals in so many ways?

Empty Dartmoor prison pays Prince William’s Duchy £1.5m a year & has another 24 years left on its lease

Charities which the Royals are patrons of also pay millions to them in rent

Make it make sense

I don’t know if I’m reading that correct but why are UK Labour staffers meddling in the US election? Surely that goes both ways

Isabel Oakeshott (went to same school as King Charles) has moved to tax haven Dubai, such is her love of UK. Give me strength

Boyfriend Tice's family built skyscrapers there

Reform UK Ltd aka RICH KIDS fooling those who have nothing...but filling them with hatred of others who have nothing either

Time zones are fascinating. Australia is already in 2025, Europe is still 2024, and the USA is currently in 1939.

Gisele Pelicot, Medical Misogyny and How Disabled People Face Increased Risk of Abuse Most of us have heard Gisele's story. It's a reminder that even men you trust can harm you. Did you know that she went to her doctors for help? A look at how medical misogyny contributed to her abuse.

For more on Gisele Pelicot and the way medical misogyny contributed to her decade long nightmare - my article looks at why her doctors failed to listen and help her and why disabled people face higher risk of abuse:

Could you imagine if you got something like cancer and a guy you’ve known for years tells you ‘Oh - I don’t believe in that’. Mate, it doesn’t change what will kill me! I was baffled. What other illnesses do people think are a myth? I would genuinely like to know xx

I genuinely thought he was an intelligent man, a bit rough, but he’s a great delivery guy however my respect for his opinion plummeted into utter disappointment. If I catch Covid again - I’ll maybe just answer the door next time. After all - you can’t catch an imaginary illness(?)

Thankyou so much for getting back to me and recommending those sets. The type-writer one sounds fab and looks challenging enough (lol although I don’t look forward to explaining what a typewriter is! - she’s a great kid but sometimes she make us feel VERY old and dinosaur-y 🦖 🦕 ) Thankyou xxx

I had Covid in October. A month later a Delivery guy came to the house & I apologised that I hadn’t seen him in ages because I had Covid. He said ‘I don’t believe in Covid’. Words utterly failed me - it is NOT a ‘belief’ option you can identify out of. That’s not how Reality works.

*it was frightening.

Honestly I’ve never seen her so immersed in a puzzle. Do you have any set you’d recommend? xx

I’ve never seen her so content. I’ve been supporting her since she was 11yrs old and we have her at the weekends. Now that we know this actively helps her relax - I’ll need to find a more complex one for her!

We got a kid the Lego Milky Way. Didn’t realise it was for 18+ (kid just 14yrs old) - not only did she finish it in two days, she bet the estimated time of 8hrs (she did it in 6 and a half). If was frightening - she was concentrating for hours (despite battling ADHD). She said it quietened her mind

Scotland this morning 😍

Take a moment to appreciate that Time had to fact check the man they named Man of the Year.

‘We’re getting poorer’ says Nigel Farage

In other news the Brexit he championed is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15% - a huge reduction in the potential economic performance of the country at a time when every penny counts

Non disabled people see the ER as a magical place you go when you’re suffering.

They believe they will be “fixed” and sent home feeling better than before.

People like me know it’s not true. We mourn the loss of the innocence we had when we too believed the hospital was safe 🧵

This always baffled me when the boot lickers say ‘the Royals are grateful for public support’ - aye well pull out your cheque book and save that public you so admire. They wouldn’t even notice £1.8 billion out of £68 billion. It would not affect them but it would help real people on the ground
