Worrying news

These people are elected officals, and who are responsible for setting government policy, and they are openly citing extremist right wing, Neo-Nazi and white supremacist rhetoric IN PUBLIC in the UK RIGHT NOW!!! This is where we are as a country people! And more importantly, this is a conference which has been organised by an American right wing think tank. All these anti-trans and anti-LGBTQIA+ laws in the US are just an experiment before they try and export their hate. It’s no good looking at all these fascistic and discriminatory laws coming out of the US and saying ‘oh that couldn’t happen here.’

IT CAN AND IT IS!

THEY’RE ALREADY GETTING READY TO STRIP YOUR RIGHTS AWAY!

It’s going to happen. It’s not a case of ‘if’ but ‘WHEN’.

UNLESS THINGS CHANGE!

THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO MOBILISE AND GET RIF OF THESE FASCIST CUNTS ASAP!!!!

I'm not gen Z, so my perception might be completely wrong, but I think this is great marketing to catch the attention of younger people.

I'm not really interested in armour and weapons but I now want to plan a trip to Leeds as soon as possible.

Overheard a convo on the bus:

‘Just don’t tell them you’re Slovakian, say you’re German. British people don’t respect Eastern Europeans.’

And honestly, that’s really sad but also kinda true.

You are based near London, UK, a friend of mine has one spot available for her photography workshop this upcoming Saturday.

I wish she had told me earlier, I would have had more time to promote it XD

185 days until submission

Humid day. Edinburgh type weather. Got more hot X buns because He Is Risen. Went to Tesco to get eggs (no, not because He Is Risen, we just want to have crepes for brekkie tomorrow) and witnessed an altercation. Just when I was leaving the shop, a police patrol arrived. 🚨 I wonder if they were after the Tesco clubcard offer of Crosta & Mollica breadsticks.

Chapter 3 has been resurrected today too.

"Shadow kept things on the inside. It was one of the things he liked about the British: even when they wanted to know what was happening on the inside, they did not ask. The world on the inside remained the world on the inside."

Study time cont.

I'm a visual learner, the more I read it the better it is, but also a note taker.. the reading\writing just cements it all in nicely. The hard part I suppose is that it takes longer than some other people? But I've always known the best way to learn for myself and I test well, so thats lucky 🤓

Also chips and salsa!

Wally has a cousin!

So, after the adventures of Wally the Walrus back in 2021 it seems like another walrus has decided to go on tour and visit the UK...

This chonky boi has turned up in Scarborough (a coastal town on the East Coast of England) and much like Wally did when he arrived in Tenby is relaxing in the harbour. It's thought that this is the same juvenile walrus spotted off the coast of Hampshire (a county in southern England) earlier this year named Thor. So far he's not made as much of a nuisance of himself as Wally did, but he only arrived in Scarborough yesterday so there's still time for him to instigate shenanigans.....

Narrateur: elle ignorait alors que 90% de ses sorties running en automne, hiver et printemps s’effectueraient sous la pluie et/ou la nuit

🇬🇧 Narrator: little did she know that 90% of her runnings in autumn, winter and spring would take place with rain and/or at night.
