We've been planning a big trip to the US with our 11 year old to celebrate him finishing cancer treatment next year.

Obviously planning has ceased in view of the current authoritarian regime in place there.

Saw this and felt it in my bones. I'm so sorry to all those who voted for Harris 😘

Finally made a crochet hexi cardigan!! 🧶🙌

It's been on my list for a couple of years, but I got inspired by Jason Momoa and Jack Black sporting theirs for their big Minecraft Movie interview 🙌❤️

This just popped up on my memories from a few years ago and I felt it was worth sharing again...

We're in London today with a big old bus to tell our Govt this country cannot afford cuts. Instead they should tax us, the super rich. A 2% wealth tax alone could raise up to £460mln a week. @Keir_starmer - invest in a fairer economy. Patriotic Millionaires say Tax Our Wealth

Also me, but 10 minutes later: "Ooh, a loom!!"

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income
This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

MLKs statement "In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends" rings loudly in my ears lately every time I hear someone say they didn't vote or they voted for trump

I'm just going to say - for everyone suffering a health issue, a mental health issue, a relative or close friend's health or mental health issue - I see you.

Please feel free to share your struggles here. We may not be able to help, but we can be a safe space to share 😘 xx

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Just received my official ADHD diagnosis!

It's no surprise to those that know me 🤣 and doesn't really change anything.

But it does mean I feel more confident in explaining certain obstacles or issues to others 👍

Meet Mungo 🦩

He's flown the nest to his new home, stealing our hearts along the way... ❤️

In all the furore about EVs, why does no one seem to be talking about charging infrastructure? It's the main issue that puts people. Get it faster, get it more reliable, and get it more available. I love everything about my EV. I hate charging it out and about.

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size.

At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.
