As it's Friday The 13th, I thought I'd reshare this photo taken at Denmark Hill London Overground Station. Many people have said that the blurred commuter in this photo looks like a ghost or even the Grim Reaper.

It's 30° in London and I hate this heat and I hate everyone who likes it. But dear God the amount of washing I'm getting out. Four loads already, lads. Washed and dried. The last one bone dry after 20mins on the line. My ancestors crying joyful tears in heaven. This must be what heroin feels like.

Very happy to see the founder of Pregnant then Screwed coming out in support of the only amendment that actually decriminalises abortion. This chance may not come again so, please, use our tool and ask your MP to vote for NC20. It takes seconds action.goodlawproject.org/decriminalis....

Yael van der Wouden has won the #womensprize for fiction- and uses her speech to come out as intersex, shout out to trans activists and acknowledge her queer and trans community. Amazing.

Knowing the things about AI we take as given here is like knowing internet memes; people who aren't Very Online tend to have no clue

The UK is training an armed group currently commiting genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and attrocity crimes. That means your tax money is aiding all of these things. Let that sink in.
