Animals all around the country are being killed using catapults that have been easily bought in shops and online. We need to ban the sale of catapults to those under the age of 18 to stop these horrific killings. Add your name now: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

My cat would like to announce that I cancelled my Amazon membership yesterday. Obviously I sourced eco cat litter from an excellent (And cheaper) source first.
In all seriousness, it is fascinating how many ethical and economical options are available to Besos's empire of terror.

I can't watch Trump & Vance's pathetic attempts to bully and humiliate Zelensky, but I get the gist. Musk tweeted "All dressed up today 😂" because the brave, democratically-elected Zelensky wears combat uniform. Elon wore a baseball cap accessorized with a wee human shield in the Oval Office

Randomly remembering the time I passed a Sister in her habit in the street and the woman behind me shrieked "it's a fucking nun" at the top of her voice. I can only assume she didn't know they exist in the wild.

Chevron want to drill for fossil fuels in Greece’s sea – on the very edge of a Marine Protected Area. We wrote to the EU last year about Greece repeatedly approving of oil drilling and now we're urging them to pay attention.

Now that RFK Jr has - unbelievably - been confirmed as the new Head of Health & Human Services in America, I genuinely think everyone ought to check their vaccination history. I got the MMR at 50 since I somehow missed out on the measles vaccine as a child.
