Moving the kids away from their kids kindle fires. One has a dodgy charging connection & eldest needs something more grown up. Know we could run them as adult kindle fires but there’s no screen time controls. What’s best android or iPad? Needs screen time, browser (block) & purchase controls?

I keep seeing DEI being called an ideology when it is not, and the white supremacy that is replacing it not being called an ideology, when it really is. That shit goes back centuries.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

Wow trying to #SpeakToHuman on #ebay is next to impossible. And all the gaslighting by the chat bot sending broken links! And then the message seller form doesn’t work on 3 devices. Once this is resolved I won’t be using eBay again, this is disgusting.

Reading about the poor lady shot dead on Valentine’s Day. REALLY unimpressed that the @theguardian.com then has ‘related articles’ of everyone else who has been shot. Seriously bad taste. They are not related to this case in any way other than there was a gun & gives the wrong impression!!

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Six days to fit 9 doors. Did involve routing out some of the frames but boy, sooo glad the fella has gone now. It’s been the most disruptive part of the attic conversion. All doors changed to fire doors, even though we’ll never shut them as we have cats so it’s completely useless.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly. Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences. The public must turn on this madness and soon.

Maybe it’s cos I’m middle aged but I’ve developed a love for 1000 piece jigsaws! I’m def neurodiverse in some way, suspect #AuDHD - jigsaws are a lovely ordered thing, but I never look at the picture, I prefer the chaos of colour matching whatever area takes my interest at that moment.

Why is there a witch hunt against Rachel Reeves? Rishi Sunak who was also Chancellor literally made his fortune in the financial crash at everyone's expense 🤷‍♂️ Inflating small indiscretions beyond all measure of proportion, that's toxic Is this really the type of society we want to live in?
