Learning to be more creative to deal with life. Cats, music, reading, politics, environment, arts and so on. We achieve more when we work together.

First they came for...and it's time to speak out as next time they might be coming for you.
I feel like I am watching a low budget dystopian movie. Our democracies are far from perfect but this is positively scary.

Footage shows Israeli soldiers storming a wedding party in Teybeh, a town in the 1948-occupied territories, sparking chaos and panic among attendees.

It's time we talk about refugees. Honestly, I have had enough with this lack of humanity.
We now have a secret concentration camp for immigrants.
We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

I think this is brilliant, it was their land. People are scared of illegal immigrants (or undocumented in the US) but what they should really fear is people who think they are entitled to something.
The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Facebook posts claim Bill Gates wrote an article with the headline: “Depopulation through forced vaccination: the zero carbon solution!”

But someone else wrote this. We can find no evidence that Mr Gates has said anything about mandatory vaccines for depopulation.

Something to do this weekend and it only takes a minute, but we can't stay silent
🚨NEW 🚨

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful.

Join us in writing a complaint to Ofcom to force them to take action 👇

Sadly all so true
The trend seems to be to follow leaders who don’t want migrants but are willing to create them, who want integration but don’t want to do anything to encourage it, who offer sanctuary to the rich and powerful and deny refuge to the poor and needy. All while espousing Christian values.

I read this on the BBC website "White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Canada and Mexico duties were in response to "the illegal fentanyl that they have sourced and allowed to distribute into our country, which has killed 10s of millions of Americans".

EMERGENCY PLEASE HELP🚨- guys the NHS is in a state of absolute emergency. We’re running a massive campaign calling for change to safeguard lives and we need your help. If every person who saw this could donate £1, we’d hit our goal 🤞. Can we do this?

So many women contributed to sciences in past centuries, but we hardly know them. They rarely managed to reach their potential. What a waste of talent.
Marie-Anne Paulze Lavoisier was born #OnthisDay in 1758. She worked with Antoine Lavoisier and played a pivotal role in the standardization of the scientific method. She also did vital translations of works by English chemists into French, correcting errors as she went.

Sometimes I feel hopeless about what is happening to the NHS and what people are doing about it. I think we either need to go all in, find the millions of people who care and get a *lot* louder, or we give up.

I want to go all in, but I can’t go all in alone. Share if you think we need to fight.

I can't say I feel sorry for Farage and it should be obvious that if you befriend people with no principles, you might end up stabbed in the back.

They are such an unsavoury and untrustworthy lot

I'd like to watch a movie, something fairly light, but not silly and no violence.

What could I watch?

Hard day's night.

My back is killing me and I can't even find a comfortable position in bed.

Until what age am I supposed to be working like this?

Is Starmer going to send me to pick up strawberries when I am 70?
