Say hello to Plot 96B! I’m so excited!

I learned how to make sourdough about a month ago and I have fallen in love with it, it’s such a beautiful magical process. Any other sourdough makers out there?

Transgender rights are human rights.

This International Day of Transgender Visibility, Amnesty Feminists remind us that transgender existence is not up for debate.

We must support the transgender community and demand an end to transgender hate crimes.

Reasons I Love Aldi #4

Needed to do a bit of a stock up today as I didn’t go food shopping last week, all this for £25.85!

Love their Indian Inspired Nests, they’re like a giant vegetable pakora 😋

Well this is terrifying. All the more reason to grow your own if you can or join a local community garden (or volunteer at a city farm like @oxfordcityfarm.bsky.social) if you don’t have access to a garden or allotment.
A gobsmacking story. Water companies let toxic waste disposers, for cash, dump their loads into sewage farms. The sewage sludge is then spread, untested, on farmland, potentially poisoning vast areas, entire ecosystems and the people (you and me) eating the food.

I just signed the petition to to demand the Government tax the super rich to rebuild our NHS, schools, and other public services. Will you sign too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Across the UK, living standards are falling and millions live in poverty, while the cost of living crisis has made affording the basics difficult. Public services we all rely on - our hospitals, schoo...

I wrote “Donald Trump is an idiot.” in a comment on Instagram and I got a warning… so I’m saying it here instead.

I committed a small act of rebellion today.

I cancelled my Kindle Unlimited and my Audible subscriptions and I joined the public library.

Do you think that shopping in line with your values is an act of activism?

Why does BlueSky think I’m American? Or is it just that the whole globe only posts about the US now? I know it’s some big ass shiz going on over there but please, give a girl a break.

🎉 Wales has banned greyhound racing.

🪦 Greyhounds often die at the trackside from their injuries.

⏰️ Westminster now needs to call time on this cruel "sport."

Today’s lunch with an Aldi Plant Menu no chicken breast, curly fries and homemade guacamole 🥑

Gotta say, not a fan of the Aldi no chicken breast. Much preferred the Iceland Crispy Ch*cken fillets.
