This wonderful girl is Flossie (Sunday name = Florence). She died by suicide in April last year, aged just 13. Very out of the blue. Completely devastating. Looking to connect with others in #grief #childloss #bereavement communities on here as I move from the bad place ❤️🩹

I've just updated the available cats page, we have some REALLY special kitties in and some of them have been waiting ages. Their forever home might be on your timeline, please share? 🥰

After hearing 50,000 times that we should put the available cats on the website, we’ve made a page! Hooray! However, it is still just me doing most of the work in the shelter. So there’…

The Labour response to Farage policy of leaving the Refugee & Humam Rights Convention should not be “he won’t deliver”.
It should be “this is not morally right” (not “British values” even).
Voters want to see authentic consistent leadership. Not debate the workability of cruelty.

Danish activists have been painting their flag on roundabouts. Either that or British 'patriots' are a bunch of thick twats, which I find hard to believe.

Anyone else get a reading hangover when they finish a great book? Like, takes you a few days to feel emotionally ready to move on with new characters? Read This Love by Lotte Jeffs and it was so good I’m sad it’s finished #booksky
It’d be good for Max’s library @jontr.bsky.social #lgbtq+literature

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Tomorrow would be my birthday if I celebrated. Since my 13 year old daughter died, it feels wrong to mark turning a year older when she can’t 💔
It’s another shitty milestone to endure but there are some who expect me to behave like “old me” on this day, making it feel especially crap #childloss
