Today we remember the 72 people who burned to death in their own homes in one of the richest areas of one of the richest cities in the world. Solidarity with survivors and the Grenfell community in their ongoing fight for justice πŸ’š #Justice4Grenfell

At least 440,000 people in disabled households will be forced into severe hardship should the Government press ahead with its proposed cuts to disability payments, Trussell has warned #disabilitycuts

Somehow the smallest news of the day, but the largest evangelical denomination, the Southern Baptists, have officially voted to begin pursuing the repeal of federally legalized gay marriage the same way they successfully repealed federally legalized abortion.

Between Greta Thunberg and her fellow activists being kidnapped by Israel and Trump turning LA into his personal war zone, I hope people realise that protest, no matter how peaceful, will always be met with violence by dying empires.

If media don't start communicating this to their audiences, they are simply engaging in propaganda. Time to choose.

Horrid day of dizziness & nausea. These two have been looking after me though.

The nausea this vertigo is giving me is no joke. Urgh. 🀒🀒🀒 😫

Incredible. Follow the whole thread down.

I have vertigo and I am miserable. The nausea feels particularly extreme. πŸ˜”

Question: has anyone ever found the "safe place" they hid important things in but now cannot remember where that is?

Some nice publicity here about the new production of β€˜The Signalman’. If you can make it to any of the venues listed - we’d love to see you there 😊

It feels cruel that it would be my 16th wedding anniversary this week and then 2 days after it's Fathers day. It's too much grief in a short space of time. πŸ’”

The washing up has not been done & will have to wait till the morning. The laundry has been washed & hung up to dry. Yesterday the washing up was done but the laundry wasn't πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ. Feeling pleased as have been to one communion service and said two offices today. Can't complain really. #SingleLiving

We have a fabulous set of churchwardens. They all work so hard and go above and beyond. #Legends

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost:

It’s the happiest day of Elon Musk’s life because he finally posted something people actually want to read

the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy but while they fight we can replenish ourselves. I recommend popcorn

12.15pm awoken by the dogs going crazy. And I heard a noise outside too. No idea what it was. not brave enough to investigate. They are definitely spooked though. Has taken my ages to calm them and any slight noise sets them off again. It's cute that they are my protectors but I'm tired 😴😴

Dear Nationwide, you have no idea how helpful that Β£100 is right now. πŸ™πŸ» Signed a struggling Ordinand.

For some reason, grief has got a grip of me at the minute. Just burst out crying cause someone on the telly who is in their fifties went to have lunch with their Mum and Dad. πŸ˜”

I literally have the best supervisor anyone could wish for. πŸ™‚

By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want. In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive potential, but we need to start now. 🧡 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Dear Keir Starmer, On National Talk Like Yoda Day, reversed your winter fuel policy have you. Too late it is. Voters' goodwill up the wall have you pissed. Choose Binface they will.

Off to college residential later today and while there I must work on my dissertation proposal which will mean doing some of it while my friends are in the lounge chilling which is my favourite time. How do I avoid FOMO? 😭

No one who cares about wildlife and ecosystems is now likely to vote Labour in 2029. Or about Gaza. Or poverty. Or inequality. Or international aid. Or corporate power. Or democratic reform. Or racism. Or trans rights. So that's goodbye to just about its entire vote. What are they playing at?
