Mental Health Units have a bed shortage crisis and it means more and more vulnerable people - including children - are being sent to prison “as a place of safety.” Rebecca Wilks looks at this overlooked injustice and what needs to change @theleaduk.bsky.social national.thelead.uk/p/theyre-jus...

One born every minute in my illustrious and glittering profession.

A friend says Farringdon station is currently overrun by bees….is this good?

GOD: i need a Pope that’s thoughtful and hot…. CHICAGO: ….deep dish?

This would go some way to explaining the $3,600 a month on candles

Israel is burning children alive in refugee camps after obliterating their homes, but the BBC goes with “tented area” like something from a beer garden

The Guardian forgot the immortal words of Kathy Burke in Ab Fab: “Don't do anything on anyone called Freud. I don't like them. Bunch of no-talents with an ancestor.” Did Bella Freud write this in crayon? www.theguardian.com/food/2025/ap...

Great investigation by Natasha Curfew for Dispatch: “the ones who use Cornwall as their personal playground, will wash in and out of their second homes with bags of premium cocaine — and then bugger off again” dispatch-media.com/cornwalls-pe...

Ngl - it must be annoying to approach sources for Dispatch and constantly say “no not that one, the other one”

Social workers are juggling 25+ kids on their books with 50p and a Freddo to go around, but Starmer thinks they should upload case work notes to private A.I. companies. 👍🏻 www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Crips against cuts protests planned for this weekend. Please follow the QR for details and please please please repost on your accounts 💜 @crips-against-cuts.bsky.social

Leftie parents / guardians: I’d love to brainstorm how to use £250 in a community setting. (It has to include play for babies/ young kids) Funding is open in Tower Hamlets and other places I think. Let’s apply before all the yoga teachers hoover it up! pages.easypeasyapp.com/tower-hamlet...

Not that it should matter but here’s what so called “economically inactive” people do on my street: caring for children, caring for elderly parents, caring for disabled relatives punished by the government. The BBC picture editor can fuck off. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“we’re making difficult decisions” oh what sucking off israel and casually outsourcing the murder of countless disabled people with the full backing of the media, i could easily do that, fuck off and gloat about your free sabrina carpenter tickets or whatever you absolute cunts

#WelfareNotWarfare DPAC Day of Action! Wednesday 26th March 2025 #WelfareNotWarfare 📢 Join us📢✊🏼

Really impressive to commission someone with no idea about ASMR to write about ASMR. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This government’s attitude toward disabled people is disgusting and evil and no one should mince their words about how many people will die because of this www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Aldringham pub my dad used to run - The Parrot & Punchbowl - is looking for a buyer. It’s a very important place to me and I often visit it when I go to my dad’s grave. It’s had many owners - good and bad - and I am praying the next one doesn’t turn it into a house.. www.aldringhamparrot.com

Finally. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

I genuinely love how thick Martyn Oliver is with his vibes-based opinions. Can someone ask him to explain how this works when women have worked in the home for donkeys years? www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Drew Barrymore (sitting criss-cross on a couch): “& its just. So vulnerable to see you own the way you express yourself” Cookie Monster: “thank u… me just scared why me am monster to others.” Drew (holding his hand): “people judge what they dont understand. like eating cookies without swallowing.”

Quack of the Week goes to…

Someone nudge Yentob awake and get him to put a version of this that doesn't look like it was filmed with a potato on iplayer

Just watched this 1987 Arena. David Lynch shares which movie was the first to use dry ice and his enthusiasm for snooker. Two things you won’t find online youtu.be/uR8vDqeelUI?...

I can’t say this in the mum WhatsApps, so I’ll say it here: “cranial oesteopathy / craniosacral therapy” is woo-woo bullshit practiced by freaks. At best it will do nothing and at worst it can hurt your baby. Beware anyone saying they’re your “village” with this shit. quackwatch.org/related/cran...

Once again, Teen Vogue is on it.

I had no idea about the dedicated curation the current owner of the Palmer home from Twin Peaks takes on, what a fantastic woman www.vulture.com/article/mary...

Imagine if diamonds really were your best friend, how sad. Imagine if it really was raining men, how terrible. I think songs are just awful

shout out to a real one

Smoking hot

It’s time to defund the BBC

Our body, our choice when it comes to elective c-sections. If anyone ever wants to ask about mine I’m more than happy to chat. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. You no longer have to make your case either - you just ask for one. No reason required. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...
