It takes a sociopath to remain a billionaire/trillionaire. To have that much wealth (in whatever shape) & to know you can never spend it in a lifetime while kids starve, wars rage, our environment is destroyed, people can’t pay thier bills, & providing min wage is antisocial personality disorder

Hi Tracy! Lovely to hear from you! How are you doing? I hope you’re feeling a little better. It’s all a bit manic here at the moment with work, a poorly dog, and mum. How is your little pooch? Xxx

Muslims aren't the United States' biggest threat. Christian nationalists like mean, crazy, and fake-Christian Nancy Mace are. (And Trojan is capitalized, you semi-literate troll.)

They openly admit their election crimes & are actively doing everything they can to undermine & outright steal the Midterm Elections. Any surprise he fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission? He knows if he loses he's headed for a 3rd Impeachment & an orange jumpsuit. 🤞 👍

I want to start #PrideMonth by wholeheartedly standing with my trans friends. While bigots with large bank accounts may influence policy, you are loved and supported by the majority. #GWithTheT #NoToTransphobia

It’s pretty insane that our corrupt political systems allow billionaires to influence policies based on their biases and bank balances.

[Key] Lime Pie by Nigella. This is lighter than you would expect thanks to the whipped egg whites. The sharpness of the lime cuts through the sweetness too. #DomesticGoddess #CookTheBook

Three weeks ago, I found this beautiful jackdaw struggling to move in my garden (pic 1), so I took him on a long trip to the Kildare Wildlife Rescue where the brilliant people there took great care of him. This morning, I drove back to collect him & released him in the garden (pic 2):

Molten Chocolate Babycakes by Nigella. These have been a staple for me for years. Chocolate sponge cakes with a rich, gooey centre. The top came off this one, but you get to see how luxurious they are inside so it’s all good! #DomesticGoddess #CookTheBook

The last 24 hours have shown what many have said for a long time. Britain's role as an accomplice to Trump's America must end. We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home. That starts with suspension of the US bombers on British soil.

There is something very unstable about people, wealthy or not, who consistently spend their time attacking trans people online.
