Furious! Immigration discussion on #BBCQT where the tory Ben Spencer says people shouldn’t be here if they don’t live by British values. Define ‘British values’ Ben! Some may cite fair treatment of women or consent - okay great so are we deporting every British man who doesn’t live by those values?

Not me crying at the European Figure Skating Championships on a Sunday afternoon! 🏴🇬🇧
It was my son’s 5th birthday this weekend so it’s been busy, fun and I haven’t had much sleep. Now as we watch this together, I’m remembering watching the skating with my mum when I was wee 💜

This article is a very hard and upsetting but important read. TW: rape, murder.
Dangerous men don't come with a sign on their head. "He's often been referred to as 'crossbow killer'... but... He was just a person, just a man... who went to the gym, had a family, had a relationship, watched TV."

Big applause for Minister @mareetodd.bsky.social speaking up for marginalised communities, particularly refugees and trans people, at #SuicidePreventionScotland conference. Very sad that it feels refreshing to hear a politician say this right now.

In floods of tears. Finally a chance to explora, scrutinise and see if there is a safe way to give people in Scotland choice at the end of life.
This is only stage 1, but it will be emotional and difficult for many. Thoughts and solidarity with anyone finding this hard for whatever reason.

BREAKING: MSPs have voted in favour of the general principles of Liam McArthur's assisted dying legislation - 70-56. One abstention. A historic moment, the third attempt at legislation passing the first hurdle. Still a long way to go before assisted dying becomes law.

Thank you to every MSP who has spoken with kindness & care today. A very emotional debate on assisted dying in the Scottish Parliament.
It’s 14 years this week since my mum died, so it’s been a hard watch for me. I trust every MSP to vote with their conscience and with constituents in mind.

Gym question: do different countries use different units of weight on the machines? I’m in a gym in turkey and I’m not able to lift the same as I can at home, having to go down 10kg (I think kg?) Is that a thing or am I just weaker abroad?

Can you believe Spotify are hosting this “course”?
Would hosting this be a breach of the UK’s Online Safety act?
Shockingly there’s no way to report this on the Spotify app?!?

"We have accomplished more in 43 days" than other administrations in 8 years, and he's right. in the sense, that they have done more damage, harmed more poor kids abroad, undermined more laws, fired more civil servants including veterans etc etc

Trump says he's ended govt censorship and brought back free speech in America.
Apart from the White House press room, of course. Which he's filled with his own propagandists.
