Been a fair old while since I graced a church with my presence. Time for some #carols.

Seen this evening. Brilliant. And that version of O Little Town of Bethlehem does for every time. Some light in a dark world 🌟✨⭐
🦌💚🎄⭐️🦛 What happens when a Yorkshire lass plays at York Barbican? Absolute magic ⭐️ The best singing and kazooing 🥰 Thank you from a happy girl! What was your fave song of the evening? 🤍🦌🎄

I've been @labouruk.bsky.social all the way, but this #asylum and #refugee thing is just beyond what I can tolerate.

Contemplating leaving the party.

Another person shot in #America. We don't yet know a motive etc etc. But we do know one of the main causes, and that's the ability to buy firearms off the shelf. Until you tackle #guncontrol then every other action is futile. #charliekirk

I haven't read the detail of this, but it does seem like the decent, right and good thing to do. Good luck with this @tomgordonld.bsky.social. Hope parties across parliament will support.
❌Disabilities don’t start at 9:30am - and neither should disabled bus passes.

🚍Tonight MPs vote on my amendment to scrap unfair time limits. I’m urging all parties to back it and remove this barrier once and for all.

I'm genuinely heartbroken and terrified by what's happening in #Gaza. Surely this is a genocide. I expect #KeirStarmer, the #government, all in #parliament, and my own MP @tomgordonld.bsky.social to call it out for what it is, and use ALL power available to stop it.

However many times I visit (and I try and call in whenever I'm in town), I always find #durhamcathedral to be completely mesmerising. @durhamcathedral.bsky.social

Back at @durham-university.bsky.social for a conference on health and offender research, nearly 16 years after I graduated. Remembering one of the happiest times in my life, despite finding out that they have moved #ustinovcollege from the top of the hill.

Struck by how train companies are always willing to apologise for the "late running of this service" and then are straight in with a reason about why it wasn't their fault.

Thinking of all those grieving and remembering #july7 today. #londonbombings

Loving the colour-coordinated effort from the @oxfamgb.bsky.social team here in #Harrogate

New kids on the fascist block, then.

It's a no from me.

I sense that, behind all of the geopolitical earthquakes and headlines, many #muslim people will find the world a much less safe and much more worrying place again. Know that you're loved. Thinking and praying for you all.

I come into the peace of wild things /
who do not tax their lives with forethought / of grief. I come into the presence of still water. / And I feel above me the day-blind stars / waiting with their light. For a time /
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Just catching up with the #airindia crash and only just processing the magnitude of this. Heartbreaking scenes. Much love to everyone involved, in whatever way. No words.

I ordinarily wouldn't follow my local #MP (I'm Labour and we've been saddled with a Tory who never replied to anything for years). But we have a @libdems.org.uk MP who seems to care about this place and is also a parkrunner, so we have something in common. Wishing you well, @tomgordonld.bsky.social.

This seems like a good picture to share to start my #bluesky career.

See you later, #PopeFrancis. Never met you, am not a Catholic, but kind of feel you were one of the good guys in a cruel world.
