My Facebook feed is completely unusable. Anyone saying they are staying on there as an activist for the sake of community is delusional. Unless your community is Pacific octopus, Andrew Tate Memes, Musk saluting, totem poles, America's Funniest Home videos, Shein ads, Brad Mondo, weather news. #meta

Having studied "Weapons of Mass Destruction" for my Poli Sci degree at the U of Oregon (which was quite familiar with molotov cocktail attacks on SUVs) I can assure the public that a molotov is not a weapon of mass destruction.

I paid £7.49 and got one croissant, one salad and a loaf of stale sourdough. Not what I expected. total value £14.40. Never doing that one again. #gails #gail’s #toogoodtogo

There is a great privilege in watching so many brown people be illegally detained when entering or living in the US and thinking it can never happen to you...only to be "Shocked!" when you see it happening to your fellow white people.

After I left the US in 2006, I intended to pay in a few more credits to Social Security so I could be eligible for a pension. I think I'm 1 year short or something like that. Not sure I'll bother now. I'm eligible for UK pension now and I'll just do that one instead of US. Bah. Bah humbug.

I used the "Too Good To Go" app years ago when Pres still did juices in the village. There were not many businesses on there back then but I'm glad to finally see many more on board. I hate private equity owned Gail's, but I just got a bag from them. Will post if it is a win or fail in a few hours.

Uh...I just posted something about cats and dogs as an example, then scrolled and saw a friend's cat posts...it isn't about any of my friends...just a general state of social media report. xx

At this essential time during authoritarianism, I find happy cat/dog content a waste of time and strange. How can brains take on news of genocide in one message and see a cut dog in another. It isn't right, and it £$%^s with our brain's messaging systems. It's numbing us to reality.

I've tried to post original content. All I seem to see are links to news content and links to stories. I'd like to see friends posting original content, especially content for the resistance.

Something keeps lifting up berry netting to get to my king stropharia mushroom mycelium patch. Rat? Squirrel? Fox? Cat? What animal eats #mycelium? They dig past the woodchips and go straight in. They're also getting a dose of nematodes I applied to kill slugs.

Anyone in #Prestwich have any extra cornflower or nigella seeds going spare? Dahlia tubers (longshot)? I could also use some leek starts or seeds. Gardening is going to keep me from going crazy while unemployed except I'm too broke to do it. Still going to try.

I can affirm that I never had any training, nor funding...especially from Greenpeace. Perhaps Greenpeace should sue them back for such defamation. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Bought a jumpsuit last night from TKMaxx and it didn’t fit but instead of returning it I put it on Vinted for a bit more than I got it for and it already sold. #sidehustle

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

According to the #eggsky index, as of March 15, 2025 01:15 AM CST, the price of #eggs is $9.68. Sample size: 935 That's a 100.73% difference since Trump became president. How much did you pay for eggs? #eggflation

I had to make a new account because preemptively blocking people actually alerts them to your presence when really, you don't want them to be able to harass you through various accounts by even being able to find you. Bluesky needs to do better to protect people.

Hellebore, snowdrops, crocus, daffodils, cherry blossoms, and giant allium have made themselves known. Rhubarb, Japanese maple, and potatoes are still hiding. I've poured boiling water all over the out of control ferns. Wild garlic is in my morning eggs.

I will forget later so I'll list here what I planted in the windowsill gardens today. Tomatillos, tomatoes, spring onions, cucumber, chives, rocket, lettuce (leaf), lettuce (head). I wish I had more windowsill room. I will do more when the lettuce goes out. I might try pumpkins again.

I don't know why I'm still watching #yellowjackets. I hate almost all of the characters now, the writers have jumped the shark, and the acting seems to be getting worse. I have no reason to like any of the characters anymore and why is Elijah Wood even there? Just to be creepy? Okay. :(

I caught a hippie who was pretending to be Cheyenne but his lineage showed all white. I told him I'm Cheyenne and a descendant of the Sand Creek Massacre, and he told me that I am to be reincarnated as a "White Calvary Man". Woody Jackson is a D!"£. @wapatodave.bsky.social

We could use volunteers on the National bike route in Prestwich. Signage at least. The amounts of dead frogs every year seems to increase. www.reuters.com/world/uk/toa...

Boring garden update number 3. The carrots I planted during lock down have suddenly appeared. The raspberries thrived through last summer when I was unable to garden. The decorative potato vines can't hold their own weight and need to go now. The bees love them though.

Boring Front Garden Update: I hate these ferns. They aren't evergreen so at least now I can try to pour boiling water on then and then dig some more. They spore more than Elon Musk.

Boring garden update. Today I removed more gravel. I've worked to remove gravel from the back garden for 13 years. The last of the suffocating tarpulin below it has also been removed as of today. I sifted the dirt to get the gravel and put it in bags. I fill the neighbor's potholes with it.

On the positive side I got vitamin D, exercise, rhubarb is now forcing, compost is composting, the strawberries multiplied, and the hammock is awaiting a sunny, warm day.

I spent 3 hours gardening today and I can barely move. I feel like I've run a marathon. Swept the stairs, pruned vines, dug up a willow tree (the roots omg), and fern root balls. I hate ivy, blackberries, cat poo, horsetails, sycamores, and cheap British horizontal and thin fencing.

Harrison, whose plasma contained a rare antibody, rolled up his sleeve 1,173 times from 1954 to 2018. The Australian is credited with helping 2.4 million babies and advancing scientific research.

I spent 12 hours on the floor of A and E yesterday with costochondritis and a chest infection. That explains this epic fail of my 100 percent streak. Strands #360 “"Fire represents your life"” 💡🔵🔵💡 💡🔵💡🔵 💡🟡🔵💡 🔵
