Am I fortunate enough to be followed by anyone who could tell me if Inverness had taxi apps in 2016? It didn’t have Uber, I know that much 🏴

So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.

#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 take 2. The prompt is Whites and Brights, so this time I'm going with Brights. TBH this describes most of my knitting output - I do like bright colours. This modular sock yarn blanket was knit in 2023, and I named the project Let's Start a Riot, for obvious reasons!😎

That’s what these ‘debates’ are really about: framing old fashioned oppression as some kind of high-brow concern for women’s happiness.
You know what makes us happy? Bank accounts. Voting rights. The ability to leave a bad marriage and not have a miscarriage kill us.

If you don't already know about it, #duvetknowitschristmas is an annual ritual that brings great "What were they thinking??"joy and has also raised a lot of money for homeless charities.

1/ So, where were we? Oh yep, #duvetknowitschristmas. Firstly, some admin: Twitter/X has evidently been run into the ground by a preening, self-radicalised clot, so while there's a slim possibility that this annual celebration might be thriving over there, I won't know cos I won't be looking.

We cannot allow that.
We must stand with the hunger strikers and immediate bail for the remand prisoners — now.

This Australian film on Israel jailing and abusing young Palestinian children is more than 10 years old.
Israel wants you thinking it treats children this way because they throw stones.
No. Children throw stones because generations of Palestinians have been treated this way.

You might ask: what will it take, for our ruling class to finally come clean about what they have done, and at long last stop? And the answer at this point is: not fascism, and also not genocide.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 Liv's prompt this week is Whites and Brights. I am too messy a person to be able to wear white or cream so don't have many white knits. My Whitley Common shawl was knit in white Linen/silk laceweight, which was a lovely yarn but a nightmare to photograph accurately!
