The Conservatives want to restrict people on benefits from buying alcohol. Yet they’re uninterested in restricting the cheaper alcohol sold in Parliament’s bars and restaurants. Why is one use of public money treated as morally unacceptable while the other is apparently fine?

Skeksis, the wild crow, is getting quite used to the ritual of taking cashew nuts from an open palm. #crow #skeksis #corvidz #urbandruidry #justdruid

At the start of September this crow (I named Skeksis due to a resemblance to the Chamberlain in The Dark Crystal) started being hand-fed cashew nuts. 2 weeks hand-fed twice daily & much healthier. I may have a longterm slightly wary wild friend. #crow #corvid #skeksis #urbandruidry #justdruid
Scraggly looking crow perched on a blue metal fence at a bus interchange, with a beak full of of cashew nuts. Another crow is perched behind the first and other crows are nearby on the ground. The lower half of 2 red London buses can be seen at the back of the picture.A crow perched on the green railings of a bridge above a bus interchange and over a local railway. Another crow can be seen in flight in the background and there is a red London bus towards the back of the picture. The railway station building can be seen in  the far background.A crow on a concrete pillar as part of the wall / fence on a railway bridge next to a bus interchange, with the top of a red London doubkledecker bus just in shot on the lowe right.

Holding Govts to Ransom UK must agree to regular increases in NHS drug prices or it won't invest, says US pharma company Eli Lilly. Last year to appease Trump UK govt agreed 25% price hike on US drugs. No end to corporate blackmail. Produce your own. At least, the UK can produce generic drugs.

Most people in England & Wales are not Christian, and it’s axiomatic to a free society that religious beliefs - or the lack of them - are irrelevant to civic participation. Britain is a pluralist, not a Christian, society; and this is one more reason to fight Reform UK.

Been out a-Druiding and awakening the land at Imbolc up in Hilly Fields #justdruid #urbandruidry #Imbolc #brigid
An altar for imbolc set up on the seasonal sundial stones on the ground in the centre of the Millenium Stone Circle at Hilly Fields, near Ladywell.The quarters are marked by a lantern with lit candle in the south, a bottle and a bowl of water in the west, a stone with a carved awen upon it in the north, and a thurible with incense in the east. There is also a small blue clay drinking vessel with an Awen embossed upon it, a deck of Animal Oracle cards within a green velvet bag with a golden awen, and a statue of Brighid. There is a flask of honeyed, warmed oat milk and a bottle of mead.

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking
Photos of Alex Pretti with Sara’s caption:

On August 16th at approximately 10:00 pm
I received a call from the ICU at the VA saying my Dad had sepsis and needed to be intubated to stay alive so Josh and I headed in. We were greeted by the kindest, most calming and warm soul who helped us understand what was happening and showed deep care for us and my Dad. He continued to show utmost patience and kindness over the next few days as my Dad remained in the ICU and we were there continually. It was Alex Pretti, the man shot today by ICE. If you see this video and don't think it's murder, I don't understand your thinking and ask you to question your heart. He was out there trying to help and protect and from the little we knew of him, it doesn't surprise me he was not afraid to be on the front lines of this horrible scene in our Minneapolis. Weeping for his family and all those at the VA who no longer get to work with him or receive his care.
