NHS Blood is crying out for donors. Try and donate after a little period away and they refuse me for no reason. Seriously annoyed!

He has blamed #Brexit as a negative for 10 years of shit. Was not expecting that. Let's see if it leads to any concrete changes (yet to be convinced).

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

@mthrjo.bsky.social @jayhulmepoet.bsky.social - Sorry for the random tag. Would you know of an 'official' C of E document that shows the direction that clergy coffins should be during a funeral? I'm having a disagreement with a funeral director about my Dad. Thank you.

There is virtually no evidence in #TheTraitors. Why do they ignore the tiny bits that do exist and pounce on utter BS? Rachel told them who she was!

So Röhl and the team have gone and the North Stand is closed. What's next in the Chansiri shitshow? If the stand wasn't safe at the end of last season, he should be prosecuted. #ChansiriOut #SWFC.

I've been thinking what should #Labour do in response to the last election and come up with a mini-manifesto. 1. Shut up about culture war stuff. They can lose to both the left and right but cannot win. 2. Shut up about immigration numbers. Again can lose to both left and right but cannot win. 1/...

Currently attempting to make my first ever sourdough loaf. I can see why they cost £5 or whatever at the shop as it seems a ridiculous process. It better be worth it...
