I started outlining a story that captures the life of living with a rare disease. It's still a new concept for me, and it is obviously metaphorical. What do you think? #pwME #MECFS

It is about hope in these dark times.

Braverman deleted this tweet which made me wonder who that previous prisoner was. His name was Junead Ahmed. He was a conman mistakenly released in 2023. She was Home Secretary at the time. Oh.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions hit the streets this weekend in solidarity with each other and to affirm the foundations of the common good.

Clear, but unsurprising warning to Labour.
This is what pandering to the far-right has done in Germany. In 2021, the Greens were a threat to the CDU/CSU. So Merz, Söder and the right-wing media did everything they could to destroy them with an unprecedented anti-Green and anti-Woke campaign. The result of that has more than doubled the AFD!

This video shows Ukrainian life during the war.

I am so proud of all #Ukrainians who continue fighting and supporting our country despite all the challenges.

It is scary to think that had my parent stayed in Sweden, not only would I have been likely to be sterilised, but I would not have the medical support that I need.

(Oh, hang on, this is happening to me in the UK, too.)
"about a new ME clinic which claims to use & follow the Canadian diagnostic criteria, but instead through a loophole uses persistent physical symptoms/functional somatic symptoms"

It is a relief that Oxfordshire didn't succumb to the national trend. Let's hope for a brighter future.

It is also a relief, as I was talking to the LibDem councillor yesterday about accessibility (or lack thereof) in the village. He texted me within an hour to say they will work on it.

For what little it's worth, my contribution to this morning's "here's why today's result proves how I was right all along" discourse is that it feels increasingly clear to me they should have reversed the NI cuts and gone all out on trying to fix public services.

I never realised how stressful Canadian elections can be; it's more intense than a World Cup final!

It really annoys me how they make the cuts sound as if they're good for the growth and the economy. The exact opposite's true! Yes, I've studied economics etc, etc.

We are wondering what could have caused this weird protrusion in this bucket, which was left outside overnight.

It is full of rain water.
