this is the standard for convictions under terrorism legislation. you'll never pass a DBS check. that's a life bar in jobs in teaching, healthcare, social services, civil service etc. it's an international travel bar. there's also upcoming legislation for bans to social housing and access to finance

Christ, who? They are mad

🙄

Couldn’t hear it in the pub, what happened during the silence?

Gertrude’s interference in Frasier’s relationship with that Julia Wilcox is still one of my favourite late Frasier moments. Hellooooo

I for one LOVE the Moon family. Bah.

Won’t someone think of the children?!

It’s Friday night babe, time is money.

If you hog the hip thrust barbell at the gym because you’re busy playing Candy Crush or looking at TikTok or whatever, there’s a special place in hell for you.

Remember how I said there was very clearly one aspect of this story that had been insufficiently investigated and in fact largely ignored, and that it wasn’t the one the papers spent almost fifteen years screaming about?

Britain using the recognition of a sovereign Palestinian state as a threat, tells you everything you need to know about its dedication to the rights of Palestinians, a century after the Balfour Declaration.

I’m Welsh but this warmed the cockles.

That’s a shame… I do think it would be useful not to see friends and family on there 🙃😅

Absolutely. Considering most of the other more heteronormative apps have those safety features. Can you block phone contacts?

About time. I used to see a weirdo ex pop up constantly and it would drive me up the wall.

when I was renting a 'flexible' co-working desk space last year, paying over £100 a month, they had the world's shittest chairs. Like, I'll swap the free tea and coffee for no back pain.

Do they allow you to block people now? That was the most insane part when I was still using that shit

Happy 13+ Members Sale Day to all that celebrate.

I was waiting for them to give me a number tbh. Roast me Bluesky, I dare.

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.

They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.

Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

#UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

Though not the bad stuff obviously. Just, it feels like something I needed to say. Sobriety has felt fairly easy for 8 months, incredible really considering the season we had, but now I’m like ‘ah fuck, right, here it is’

My OCD has gone a bit mental lately, kicked off by grief over Jota unfortunately (though not the only thing).

My compulsions and ruminations are all internal, so kind of invisible. Drink would mask that stuff very easily, and often why I would binge so badly. I miss the ease of that.

Hardest test of my alcohol free life so far this week.

My walk home from work features several of Liverpool’s finest boozers, including my favourite ever. I miss that easy ‘de-stress’ pint on my own. It never really made things better, but I miss that feeling of immediate relief.

This is the end result of anti-trans bigotry: more harassment of girls and women, more policing of gender roles, more gender McCarthyism.

Huge if true.

I would eat this up.

I'm not a religious person, but the symbolism broke me... most importantly because nature reminds us we part of something bigger than ourselves.

Football also reminds us we are part of something. A simple joy that unites the most disparate of human beings.

I just wanted to make mention of the two seagulls that circled Deepdale during the silence before kick off yesterday, and the white cabbage butterfly that fluttered around us up in row 30/31 after Conor scored.

Obviously I never met Diogo Jota. But you sing somebody's name week in, week out in the stands, you watch them do what they do, and you develop a relationship of a kind. At least with what they stand for there.

Diogo has given us so many moments of joy. It's so so tragic.

His poor family.
