Pouring out a little liquor today for the handful of women astronauts who survived years of onerous training, men, and men only to have the press make Katy Perry their equal.

Seriously this is not gender equality … this is wealthy women doing what all wealthy people do, spending obscene amounts of money on nothing that advances women, humanity or helps anyone at all.

I just looked out the window and told my 7yo to dress appropriately for the 'yukky, wet weather' and immediately corrected myself. It's been one of the driest springs on record in Scotland, wild fires all over the place and it's not even summer yet. The rain is most welcome to stay! ☔️

I've found the 7yo watching Mufasa:Lion King and I have lots of questions. Like what is going on? Why are the evil lions black and white? Why does Disney insist on this flat, badly made pseudo-live action animation style?

We watched S7Ep1 of Black Mirror last night - brilliant and brutal as ever. Having recently had very difficult conversations about end of life care and euthanasia in the absence of an adequate health/social care system, it hit hard. Need to steel myself for Ep2.

RIP my best tea mug 😭 You served me approx 500ml of tea the colour of He-Man for many years, got me through many meetings that should have been emails and catch-ups with friends and family. Time for your reincarnation as a plant pot.🪴

Here's something else we regularly pick up from beaches - tyre valve dust caps. Dropped or discarded on garage forecourts and outside tyre fitters' premises, they soon get washed into storm drains following heavy rain and make their way to the sea. #marinedebris

It seems that Trump wants a recession. Why? A recession will drive down the prices of real estate, companies, and shares of stock. Trump and his fellow billionaires want to buy up everything on the cheap and then enjoy the ride upward — no matter the cost to working people.

Hello! The US housing market has gotten very expensive, but I still dream of one day owning a home in a walkable neighborhood. In that spirit, I'm offering my consulting services. If you support the Trump tariffs, I can help you find US suppliers. Let me show you some examples. 🧵

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

#EatLessMeat, buy buy better. Edinburgh area people, get down to Springfield Farm Meats for a much more sensible way to buy locally produced, lower carbon footprint, higher quality meat direct from the farm. If you go soon you'll get a tour of the lamb shed like we did! www.springfieldmeats.co.uk

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Fantastic to see Beechgrove Garden providing advice and ideas for letting a bit of your garden go wild, to encourage all kinds of plants and creatures to move in. 🐸🌱🐛 A touching tribute to Jim McCall too, which was quite a tear- jerker.

A strong trade union movement improves the standard of living for all people. There is a reason why we are the only major country not to guarantee health care for all or have paid family and medical leave. We must grow the trade union movement in the United States.

At what point do we stop talking about record breaking high temps/low rainfall etc in positive terms? 'Fine' weather 'Glorious'sunshine etc. Another month of records broken - not good news for anyone dependent on spring rains. #ClimateChange www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new....

3 hours of laser-focused #Sunday #gardening in the spring sunshine aaaaand every bone in my body is going to ache tomorrow, but at least I remembered to stay hydrated. The brown bin is full, onions and alpines are planted, bark chips are spread and I've made a dent in the weed takeover for now. 😊💪🏽

The bit where OutieMark condescendingly mentioned 'Heleny' during the camcorder conversation with iMark was a call back to when Helena mis-named Gemma in the Chinese restaurant calling her Hanna, something which oMark hated. I'm not sure what to do with that info though... #Severance

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
