I can believe what I want. My worldview comes from my own lived experience, the things I've learned, struggled with and made sense of over time

But here’s the bit people miss: lived experience doesn’t automatically make me right or wrong. It just explains why I see the world the way I do 1/3

Thank you. You are so right! The world is made richer by our varying beliefs and experiences - it's what makes us unique! We should share how we see the world and celebrate it, but also celebrate listening to others and learning from them. Diversity is a strength and something to be proud of.

Thank you. I really needed this today.

It's a good day when I stumble across an Airedale on my Bluesky feed! And Lakeland too of course. To make it even better, there's more in the comments!! 🐶 🐶 🐶

This made me cry. Thank you, and I'm so sorry for your loss.

This..⬇️ anyone means anyone! Resulting in long term debillitaing illnesses, unable to work or function normally, not knowing how youre going to get through the day from the moment you wake up, if you're lucky enough to get some decent sleep. 🤷‍♀️🙏🏽

Joke's on them, I'd be passed out before we'd even left the ground 😂 any doctor on that flight would be veeeery busy.

I have far more faith in 12 year olds.

This is awful news, she is such a huge loss. She did a huge amount for the disabled community and made such a difference in the world beyond too. Thinking of her family and friends, I'm so sorry.

Hopefully the other parties take note of this. Reform voters are not united and with the right messaging can hopefully be swung... #HopeNotHate

This. I really hope the other parties listen and look at which supporters they can work on.

I love it when the BBC reports on the BBC, as though they've never met them in their life. They've started adding a note to their articles saying that the News branch is "editorially independent", but their CEO resigned too so it seems a bit daft in this case. Or in all of them...

Q: was the goldfish 3 weeks old when it died or has it been dead for 3 weeks? Is it anything to do with the one @bbeska.bsky.social found in his garden?

Those aside, I really hope this somehow turns around for you guys. Watching from across the pond is painful. Living it must be infinitely worse.

Weapon = the Epstein files?

Nige is no longer laughing at himself as he ‘performs’ yet another big speech | John Crace Reform leader is trying to make it as a mainstream politician – which involves contradicting himself and gaslighting voters

“His main theme was that the country was fucked. Largely because of Brexit. Weirdly, he has no memory of being the main architect behind the Brexit vote. He seems to think it happened in a world in which he played no part.”

Farage - the foghorn of failure.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television. Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg." She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce." "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”

Gotta love Private Eye.
Always cuts through the crap.

1000?! How is that even possible? How many houses do each of them do?!

But what about the ivermectin?

I really hope she turns up soon. I hate that someone did that, and made a horrible time even worse.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Thank you for reminding me to look at this! Perfect. 15/10 in fact.

The definition of 'in plain sight'. They broke every rule in the book and no-one batted an eyelid 😂

It's always hoodie weather in this corner! But sometimes more comfortably than others lol.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

When you demonize and mistreat the immigrant, the poor, the starving, and the marginalized, I'm not interested in hearing about your religious beliefs.

You've already shown me what they are by how you're demonizing and mistreating the immigrant, the poor, the starving, and the marginalized.

Please Starmer, stop blaming immigrants and human rights lawyers. You are making this country into a sewer of hatred and division.

None of our problems are because of too much kindness.

It's well known for local wildlife and cats to go missing when the Albrighton hunt go out (T&W council rather than Shrops). They might not 'actively' be hunting anything but that number of riled up dogs specifically bred for hunting makes it almost inevitable for something to happen. Really wrong.

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?

I write small as it goes absolutely everywhere as soon as I try to write big. Small is the only way I can control the pen 🙈

Perfect as always!
