Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

I was quite surprised, given the amount of negative press that would have you believe that this government is the worst we’ve had yet.
I’ll put the link in the next post but given we had a complete shit show with the Tories, this is astonishing. Do reshare or bookmark the link, it’s handy.

Braved new hairdresser in Portugal. Not too happy with cut, but managed to chat in Portuguese!
Learned about her love of travel, what her daughter does for a living, who also works 1 day a week in Lisbon. Also that hair mousse = espuma in Portuguese.
Overall a win.
Considering head scarves ;)

Decades of research have found that acetaminophen is safe for children when administered as recommended. Misleading claims link the medicine to autism. These false claims send a dangerous message to parents and does a disservice to autistic individuals. www.aap.org/en/news-room...

I needed to think carefully about how to word this.
Labour Women’s Network used to allow anyone who identified as a woman. They have changed the wording to simply “women” and stated this means “biological women.”
Labour Women’s Network is a transphobic organisation and I will not be party of it.

Challenging myself to get out for a walk in the nearby National Woods several times a week.
There's a good 40 minute hill climb from my home to the back of the park, with amazing views. Lots of birds too.
Today I'm feeling myself expanding, guided by the tall trees.
