I’m seeing even well-meaning accounts criticise disability cuts as hitting “the most vulnerable.” Reminder: disabled people are not inherently vulnerable. We are vulnerable when governments choose to withhold the resources disabled people need to live dignified and secure lives.

Do not mess with librarians. They let complete strangers borrow their books. For a living. Even the hardcovers. They are so much stronger than you know.

If you've never donated to Wikipedia, now's the time. Elon Musk is attacking it because it's one of the only sources of honest, curated information that he can't control. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-ta...

I'll also add: if you plug it into the wall, make sure it's on its own circuit or has as few as possible other loads plugged into it. DO NOT assume the breaker will trip if there's an overload. Touch the plug periodically; if it's hot not warm, unplug it. NEVER run a heater overnight or unattended

Sign a proper petition this evening, not one of those comedy Musk ones... Ban Driven Grouse Shooting! It destroys ecosystems, is ridden with criminality, causes flooding, concentrates land with a tiny minority of bloodthirsty maniacs, and after all that, is a shit excuse for a sport anyway. 👇

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own. Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest? Thread: 1/

"1% of the population own half the land in England...the media have portrayed a very distorted view of the countryside, how land is used & who owns it" Great to speak to @mrjamesob.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk about the #ClarksonTax protests - watch the full interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-kR...
