It never ceases to shame me that standing up for desperate human beings fleeing for their lives & thinking we should protect them is “political.”

Yet turning refugees back at sea & locking them up is a neutral view.

It ain’t.

Pick a side.

compassion or cruelty

Irony: That this is in the square outside the HQ of the BBC.

Is it me, or has a football commentator been more outspoken about the fascism of the UK government than the opposition?

Or is the media being shit at mentioning anything from labour ?

I was reminded at coffee break this afternoon that #Mosstodon is a thing, so please enjoy this picture that I took over 17 years ago in the Scottish Borders. I hope you will agree that it is good moss.

Wow, EasyJet Plus has an AMAZING system for entering your phone number prefix.

Are there #makers in or around #Sheffield who are interested in joining a small team of volunteers who help to make things possible for people with disabilities?

Remap is a UK national charity with the aim of helping disabled people of all ages to live more independent lives.

Unfortunately the Sheffield panel currently has no lead volunteer to oversee the monthly meetings and the panel is due to be closed at the end of March if one is not found. Ask me for more info.

who called it “writing documentation” and not “manual labor”

Of all the reports on the #Sheffield street tree scandal I've seen, this has to be the most shocking detail: Council bosses considered killing thousands of healthy trees to justify cutting them down

Media bosses in places like Hong Kong risking their lives to uphold principle of independent journalism; bbc giving it away

Content is corporate.

Don't be corporate.

The only way left to combat the algorithms is being aggressively human.

I did some baking for my daughter’s second birthday 🍄

Give a man a fish, lightly poached, with a chilled Chablis and profiteroles for pudding. Don't try to teach him anything. Get over yourself.

Studies have shown food tastes about 40% better if eaten while your other hand is holding the fridge door open.

@BethanyBlack Yeah, no one with a voice in the media ever really talks about how phones are just a tool that's being misused by only ever being a way to hoover up shitty social media.

Meanwhile, kids are getting into creative arts using nothing more than their phone because the barrier to entry is lower than ever.

But yeah, phones bad.

Wonderful, several articles today on how smartphones are destroying mental health, shared initially by the usual suspects who are famous for bullshit over sound data analysis and then amplified by people who really should know better.

They say smartphones when what they mean is “unmoderated social media”, but they don’t want properly moderated social media, they wand teenagers to not have access to phones.

Food and drink producers are greenwashing their products by classifying them as CO2 neutral and must be banned, according to one of Europe's leading consumer NGOs.
