It’s journalism like this that makes me cringe every time I have to tell people I’m a journalist because mainstream media is biased and has lost all credibility when it comes to the public.
ITV’s story on Liverpool being the most generous city starts with ‘Proof it’s not grim up north.’ Why the need for a dig at Northerners to share good news? It’s tired, lazy, and feeds stereotypes we’ve heard for decades.
Been off Twitter for a few weeks now and I’ve just been back on it for the first time in ages. Why is the trending feed always false information? Top search is “Joe Biden is Dead”. The app of misinformation. Felt so strange to see given I’ve been chilling on Bluesky.
Elon Musk’s wealth is just so unbelievably fathomable and the fact that he “earned” near $200 billion since the election is just 🤯. Wealth like that should not exist.
Last thing Luigi Mangione liked before he was arrested.
This journalist has brilliantly explained what I’ve always known but never been able to explain.
Read this a couple years ago and it was truly phenomenal!
Deep Red (Profondo Rosso)
Has anyone got any good book recs? Either fiction or non-fiction but with a powerful message. Something about society or real world struggles. Diversity is a must!
I see some bots have found their way to Bluesky …
Actually a little bit obsessed with the new Fortnite season. It’s so prettyyyy <3
When we introduced fit for work assessments, we were told nobody who was genuinely disabled would be denied disability benefits because there would be safeguards, and then people died because they were denied disability benefits. You see the problem with assisted dying "safeguards" yet?
Our first Blue Sky book rec!!
I read this a couple of months ago and it truly was enlightening. The economy can be an extremely difficult topic to approach and Yanis explains it perfectly, from how we got here to how capitalism remains at large.
Feels always good to buy a bunch of books every now and then, bookstores are a haven
I wish they still prescribed women a trip to the seaside to calm said “nerves”.

I’m looking for people to add on Goodreads who are into similar books to me:
- leftwing non-fiction: social, political, gender studies etc.
- classic literature: dystopian to gothic romance
- high fantasy
- anything thought provoking !!
I need more good recs :)

Really enjoying it so far. Extremely well argued and researched.

It’s mad I can just watch Wicked whenever I want to now
It really is. Sorts me out every time I’m sick!
Cynthia Erivo IS Elphaba. Her portrayal made me understand the role better than any I’ve ever seen. My little heart is happy.
Big 24 today ! Still 18 in my head though. Genuinely confused where the last 6 years have gone.
Political Prisoners, two years in prison for putting Tomato Soup on glass which took 30 seconds to clean off.
Glass which they could have smashed with one blow, if they had wished to.
This isn’t new news, but I would really like to know why he got off so lightly? Beastiality and paedophilia, but only on the sex offender register for 12 months?
Politicians really do seem to get off lightly don’t they.
a bit obsessed with making cute crochet clothes ✨

Suspiria (1977)
Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor those lost to transphobic violence.
Amid rising bigotry, this is a moment for reflection and action.
Let’s stand in solidarity, amplify trans voices, and work toward a future where all can live authentically and without fear.
