Alan Kurdi, dead on a beach

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Too many women are being killed in their own homes. What are the causes and what can be done about it?

Any journalist speaking to British government representatives about these riots should make sure to ask them about when funding will be made available to tackle the housing crisis in NI.

Healthy life expectancy in NI: can deprivation reduce women’s time living in good health by over 14 years?

Yes - according to the evidence.

🔺Healthy life expectancy (HLE) is the number of years that someone can expect to live in good or very good health.

If you want to keep track of the storm as it flies towards us. I always use this site to track its location and wind speeds.

Eerily quiet this evening on the way home from work.
But I can start hearing the wind pick up now.
Have to go to work in the morning despite it all.
Let's hope it's not as bad

Man says "I see the contractions have started"

Cartoon of pregnant woman and man sitting on chairs. Woman says "Would've... I'd've... O'clock... Ne'er-do-well" Man says "I see the contractions have started"

Love this cartoon by @mooseallain.bsky.social

Wanted to put it as my wallpaper but didn't show it all or the credit.

Took inspiration from you and travelled over here from Threads.

Left the other place a long time ago and never regretted it.

Glad to see you here! Just dipping my toe into this new place.

So, trying this place out for a change...

Seems a bit better than Threads. I've been able to follow a lot more people that I knew before.

Hopefully it'll be a bit more interesting but not descend into a hellscape...
Here's hoping 🤞
