MPs shouldn't be able to switch parties without asking us first! I just signed a petition calling for mandatory by-elections when an MP changes their political party. We vote for a specific manifesto and set of values—if that changes, we should get to vote again. I...

It feels wrong that an MP can get elected on one platform and then just... swap? 🤷‍♀️ I’ve signed this to demand a by-election when MPs cross the floor. Let's make sure our votes actually count. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

No more wars for oil Stand against Trump’s oil wars

Really enjoying this one from The Heartwood Institute and @hawksmoormusic.bsky.social Heavy elements of Berlin school run right through it.

Repeated Viewing @repeatedviewing.bsky.social is superb, especially the Street Force (1&2), Murdercoaster, 3 sisters albums. Rupert Lally I've heard loads of on the @darktrain.bsky.social show. Andy Fosberry - Anthology of the dark awesome too

Always a great listen. I've a backlog of PC shows to get through as well as the latest bandcamp Friday haul. Spun out of control records placed most of their back catalogue up for £1 each. So I got 26 of them. Eek!

Cheers! Still 1st and 3rd Thursdays at the Prince?

Chuffed with the guitar mod I've done. Bought this LP Jnr for £70 years ago. Replaced plastic nut for a Tusq, tuners with Wilkinson Ez-loks, pickup with a Warman Destroyer, bridge with adjustable Vanson wraparound, all screws and knobs replaced for black ones. Plays awesome, looks great, sounds top!
