Fascinating read though I’m glad I was eating yoghurt instead of a ham and cheese toast over breakfast! 🤣

Obviously 🤣🤣

Wait what?! This thread is making my head 🤯

Showed this to my cat and he whacked me 🤣

More destruction of the cultural heritage in Iran. Chehel Sotun in Isfahan, dating back to the 17th c, a UNESCO World Heritage site sustained damage in the war.

-puts kettle on- hugs.

Deliberately so.

Also am refusing to do “fun” stuff with AI to generate images and crap. I work in an area with a severe water shortage. I refuse to contribute to this. Like, wtf. No. I can make the point without wasting more resources.

Agree with Sarah. Also the theft of our brains and ideas and the massive environmental impact.

So. Pending boarding passes because… Brexit that’s why. I am sick of proving my existence. I realise I’m enormously privileged that I can prove it but that’s not the point. Status:
Pending approval. Story of my life.

It’s not Notre Dame so there’ll be no outcry.

So wonderful to see the amazing @amalexathorn.bsky.social in this list.

World Book Day again apparently and what a stark reminder today was to really heed the words of Audre Lorde: the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.

The U.K. PM is busy telling us that the U.K. is not involved in the war.. sorry “conflict”. Said without a trace of shame or irony. I swear most days I feel like I’m living in an alternate reality.

Facebook and the like will flag your account and suspend it temporarily or permanently. It’s happened to me a few times. They don’t care about actual threats etc. but they object to certain words.

On Sky news someone from the Jerusalem centre for security and foreign affairs called Iran today’s N*zi regime that unalives children. With a straight face and no hint of shame. And before anyone wails: obvs Iran isn’t the good guy here. Neither are the other actors involved in this.

A most elegant centrepiece as befits a college. Ozzy says he is far grander but he will grace your table.

My. Eyes.

One of my favourites. I love the Leventis gallery. I always stop to look at something. It’s become a little ritual.

Blood oranges. My heart is happy.

Antiques auction selling neck shackles accused of ‘profiting from slavery’ Exclusive: Labour MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy says treating these objects as collectors’ items ‘should be looked at in horror’

Auction houses - not even once. No this isn’t human remains as such. It’s worse. Much worse. Will the west never stop profiting from enslavement?

I doubt the scrote will see the inside of a court room, much less prison. Urgh.

My guilt was short-lived. You remember their crimes and you get angry they got away with it for so long.

Internal monologue1: it’s Lent and this level of unholy delight should make me feel guilty.
Internal monologue 2: nah. Fluff that. Get them all. Their crimes are many.

The face is priceless.

@karnythia.bsky.social 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 in case this hasn’t reached your shores.

Warms my heart this does.

May he spend all his birthdays in hell. Sorry jail. I meant jail.
