musician Gary Numan, born March 8, 1958, aged 68
actor Gary Oldman, born March 21, 1958, aged 67
Happy Gary Retrograde everyone!
The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman
Classrooms of children in Iran. Hundreds of people in Lebanon. The ongoing genocide in Gaza.
The message from our political and media class is clear: their lives are less valuable than others.
Every human being matters, and every human being deserves a life of peace.
An illegal war by USA & Israel, propped up by missions from UK air bases.
Supported by Nigel Farage.
Over 1000 civilians dead & now the threat of global economic fallout. Trump's disaster makes us all less safe, less secure - and we will remember those who backed it.
Proud to be part of the "Green Menace".
Wow.
The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%.
They are FIVE points ahead of Labour.
The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote.
And they're just 2 points behind Reform!
This is amazing ππ½ π€© @zackpolanski.bsky.social
You may not like the answers Zack Polanski and the Green MPs are so ready to give in clear and articulate terms but you look and sound like a fool to say they donβt have any. Farage on the other hand only has deflections, distractions and huffs.
A luminous full moon rises in the sky, prominently featured against the dusky blue of early night. In the foreground, a line of Eurasian cranes is silhouetted in mid-flight, their long legs and necks stretched out as they navigate by the moonlight.
Look to the sky tonight for March's full moon ππ
Also known as the Worm Moon, it marks the shift in seasons as the soil warms, earthworms re-emerge, and nature awakens.
It has many other names including: Lenten, Plough, Crow, & Sap Moon.

every time AO3 goes down I see people saying they lost their writing. never write on AO3 itself- that writing can be lost at any time. there are free word processors out there. USE A WORD PROCESSOR and save to your own device(s). I use an ancient version of OpenOffice. it does everything I need.
Here's the latest attempt to erase Palestine from history.

Did I learn my lesson yesterday and hit "entire work" on the fic I was reading? No. No, I did not.
All you proud pro-war Republicans that never served a day in the armed forces:
Send your own kid to go fight Trump's war you stupid bastards.
Those of us that have served in combat operations know the real cost of war. We live with it forever.
Love this so much, you both look radiant with hope too
Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,
I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.
Thanks,
Zack Polanski
Join me and letβs make history - the Greens defeating Reform in Manchester!
This Sunday, between 10am and 8pm, Greenbank Playing Fields, Levenshulme, Manchester M19 3EU (link below).
If youβve never campaigned before - great! Youβll be paired with someone who has!
Nearly 100k people have joined our call to get dangerous US spy tech firm out of our NHS.
Palantir's founder has called for the NHS to be ripped up. Now his company has access to millions of patient records.
Tell the government to end the contract!

Reform politicians are happy to throw insults from a distance.
But when it comes to debating their ideas? No show.
Richard Tice pulled out.
Farage wonβt face me.
Now their candidate in Gorton & Denton has ducked our candidate Hannah Spencer.
Vote Green.
The Prime Minister says he changed the Labour Party.
He's right. He changed it from a party of principle, workers and peace, to a party of patronage, the establishment and war.
Poverty, corruption and complicity in genocide. That will be his government's legacy.

I keep seeing movie and TV show criticisms like "it could have been an hour shorter" and "nothing happened this episode."
I've never had such thoughts in my life and am happy to stay that way.
My sense is that the βmale loneliness crisisβ is not really about addressing menβs emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it
βThe independent MP Jeremy Corbyn put the request for a meeting to the justice minister, Jake Richards. When Richards replied βnoβ, laughter was heard from some MPs in the chamber.β
Read that again. For shame.

Remember today that feeling lonely in this trauma recovery work doesn't mean you're doing it wrong. It means you haven't yet hooked up w/ people who have the depth & compassion to appreciate the raw, honest, hard work you're doing.
But you will.
Remember today an essential, non negotiable part of recovery is getting more things in your life that you like. That you enjoy. That turn you on. That you can turn to for soothing & laughter & comfort. We call these things "reinforcers," & they are irreplaceable recovery tools.
Between living in a state of hyper-vigilance, enduring widespread loss, and bearing witness to purposeful cruelty while powerless to stop it, we are all experiencing traumaβeven if we as individuals or as members of a vulnerable group are not being targeted directly.
Be gentle with yourselves.

Another picture holly and of white holly flowers.
Yet another picture holly - but leaves not spiky - out of reach of leaf eating animals!
