Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

All the talk of British Steel today…. hope they’re making plans for Nigel.

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

Celandines are so lovely!

No thankyou to BT interview man who asked why I’d done physics as a girl, no thank you to the mum of a student peer who said I’d taken her son’s job because I was a girl, no thank you to the Japanese manager at work who passed me the photocopying in a meeting. Actually- thankyou - you made me 💪!

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

IT’S WORKING!!!! KEEP SHOWING UP, MAKING YOUR VOICES HEARD!!!

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

I was hoping Bluesky would have balance and a civilised debate but sadly, it seems to be changing. Admittedly, what T is doing is enough to upset anyone but this is not the ‘other place’. I think some people should try to remember that. (Or am I just seeing the posts by ‘Bots’? Can’t tell).

Note to anyone who needs it today: A man who believes that a cleric's plea for compassion is "hate speech" has no business invoking God, or claiming to be a believer in anything but himself.

Nobody else knows this but it would have been my older brother’s birthday today so I’m remembering.

Sounds like a plan

Sums it up nicely.

Be the person your cat thinks you are.

Happy International Men's Day! On that note, here's a familiar song to hum that we adapted with the amazing Prostate Cancer UK four years ago, when Alfie & Tom could sing high: youtu.be/IkVLe_qI2dw Get tested = save men (like Grandad) #InternationalMensDay

Indeed, this is where we are.
