Currently at 72% of my fundraising goal for London Marathon — every donation helps @mindcharity.bsky.social's work with mental health and nudges this creaky boi a little closer to race day.

If Starmer considers the current benefits system 'unfair' then he should introduce Universal Basic Income.

#UBI is a far fairer system that eliminates eligibility assessment & enforcement and all the associated waste in resources.

Zack Polanski wrote a good UBI article for The Big Issue recently:
We all deserve more money. Let me prove why it's time for universal basic income
A universal basic income policy is simple yet transformative, writes Zack Polanski, deputy leader of the Green Party of England and Wales.

A new poll has found 70% of healthcare workers see patients unable to pay energy bills.

Remember, scrapping the winter fuel allowance, not investing in cheap renewables and not insulating homes are all political choices.

Government could choose to lift people out of poverty.

Lots of nonsense in D&D this week. On Wednesday as DM I almost wiped out a party of new adventurers with a sentient flying baguette 🥖

Having guinea pigs as housemates is a real joy and privilege. The experience of bereavement and the admin of succession planning, less so 🫤

This is why we do what we do 👇

We need to act, and we need to act now, and we need to act urgently.

We all have a part to play in avoiding climate collapse. One BIG thing you can do to help is stop flying.

Returning to work, my brain has forgotten what work is. Instead, it's reliving fun moments like the time I spoke to someone at length about the paternoster lifts, and only afterwards realised I'd been calling them 'Pentecostal lifts'

I've become more conscious of late that my most used emoji is 😅 - likely because I often exist in a state of actual or potential 😅. My goal for 2025 is to exist as 🐸

Once again, this thread is the best public service in the country and will leave me marginally less flummoxed tomorrow 😂
Here it is, my big #EastEnders catch-up thread for people who only see it when they go home for Christmas with the family. Allow me to get you all caught up on the goings-on in Albert Square in its most explosive week of the year! KEEP THIS BY YOUR SIDE AT ALL TIMES.

These are my beautiful housemates, Nut and Orzo. I fed them some carrot tops 5 hours ago and I'm still riding the euphoria.

My first comment piece in @theguardian.com is on a topic very close to my heart; the threat that the #ClimateCrisis poses to my local community in South Wales.

Here's a thread with a few extra thoughts from me 🧵

I'm well aware that The Last Place became overtaken with hate, division, and a grim medley of bad bots and actors. Maybe that will happen here in time, but I've joined hoping to connect with other ppl trying to make the world better and more silly - an act of active hope. Here is a duck I like.
