Reposted by Ailbhe Mary (geographile) @geographile.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The first rescue in this episode shows what the RNLI in the UK/Ireland do is why they are being so heavily protested, dangerously doxxed, to the point of one station having to close. They are saving lives, and in one corner of England, some of those lives are of migrants. youtu.be/Y8pMh1C-PAc?...youtu.be 021

Ailbhe @ailbhe.ossifrage.net · 30/09/2026The dessert-spoon trick has helped a lot, though it took ages to press all the areas of my left arm which are itching and I'll have to do the other limbs later. Thank you! 120

Ailbhe @ailbhe.ossifrage.net · 30/09/2026I don't know. When my schoolfriends were going to university they all also had jobs so the thing where people here didn't still feels alien to me.
