Nephrostomy tube exchange has been done and - for once- there appear to have been no complications 🎉

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

Well…so much for Judaism being a religion of love and peace. For daring to say I mourn all the lives lost - Israeli AND Palestinian- I’ve been told by 4 jewish people on the other place that I should hurry up and die and God has punished me. What charming, caring people

3 years after 7/10 I mourn every life lost. I mourn the Israeli civilians killed. I mourn the Palestinians killed in Gaza in the years since. I refuse to accept one people’s grief can justify the destruction of another.

#WoTtober 4: Chora Oh, how I missed getting cross-eyed over inking tiny details 😆 #WoTSkies #TheWheelOfTime
Black ink drawing of a stylised tree with flowing, curling white branches against a black canopy. Two birds sit in the tree, facing the middle. At the foot of the tree, a little topknotted human sits in a lotus position, referencing the Randland version of the Buddha story in which Ghoetam was fed by birds while he sat under the Tree of Life (a chora tree) for forty years to gain wisdom.

The top corners are decorated with shining suns, and the bottom corners with crescent moons and stars.

#WoTtober 3: Asha'man The talent. Not the curse. In which I definitely avoided the Perfectionism Trap, lol. But hopefully you get the idea. (Thank the gods for @sambestock.bsky.social's old/young hands pack, this could have been MUCH worse 😆) #WotSkies #TheWheelOfTime
Mostly black ink drawing of a small child's stubby hand reaching for the small, sinuous red and gold dragon held in an older man's creased palm. The older hand comes out of a black sleeve with a double line of thin gold piping on the cuff. The child's hand covers most of its fingers and some of the dragon. The two hands occupy one diagonal of the square picture, while a black Dragon's Fang (shaped more like a claw, or more precisely, half of a dotless yin-yang symbol) sits in each of the other two corners.

My final word on this. Nobody is saying that Jewish self-determination is Racism. They’re saying that realising Jewish self-determination through the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in order to maintain a Jewish ethnocracy that only exists through the violent oppression of Palestinians, is racist.

So…Britain apparently has no back up plan for feeding the nation in the event of an emergency. Is anyone really surprised at this revelation? The Westminster govt couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery

Ok I’m done dealing with rabid Zionist filth who think they have a divine right to ethnic cleansing. You people need to take a long look in the mirror and examine why you think the existence of the Jewish state apparently requires everyone around them be driven out or slaughtered.

We don’t say this enough. It’s ok to not be ok. I’m dying. It’ll happen sooner rather than later. Most days I’m determined to fight & in an upbeat mindset. Then there’s days when I’m not. I don’t - or shouldn’t- have to mask how I’m feeling to make other people feel good.

Teaching kids about consent early is so important. Especially in the current social climate. You don’t have to hug anyone. You can say no. Stop means stop & no means no. They are in control of their own bodies & everyone else deserves that same respect

Harry’s resentment for William runs so deep even William’s resemblance to their mother was an issue. Think about that. This is someone who spent a long time comparing himself to his brother, measuring what William got & what he didn’t. Then put that resentment out for the entire world to see.

First glimpse at the new kitchen we’ve waited 20 weeks for
A large chrome fridge/freezer stands next to a sage green unit with chrome handles and a chrome oven set into the middle. To the left is a set of sage green drawers under a light oak worktop with a white microwave

Maybe it’s because I’m attached to the chemo pump & grumpy, but the hypocrisy of Charles Spencer making money out of his dead sister for all these years & now openly attacking The King bugs me. And when I’m not even a royalist, that should tell you something. Just let Diana rest in peace already.

More housing related drama. The new kitchen is gorgeous- let me say that upfront. It’s gorgeous. But- despite us telling them to leave the internet/phone point where it was because it’s the only working point- we saw yesterday they’ve removed it. We have no landline phone & no internet 🤬

And it’s done. Parliament voted against the Assisted Dying Bill. There were only 16 votes in it- so it was a close run thing- but the outcome will be the same. Someday we will be able to end our lives with dignity, if we choose. But I now doubt it will be in what remains of my life

Kirsti Kean CR- Winter Solstice @kirstikean.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
The Assisted Dying Bill is up in parliament again. It is not about state sanctioned suicide or killing the undesirable. It’s about letting terminally ill people - people like me- determine when we have had enough. It’s about letting us end our lives with a tiny bit of dignity

I see people whingeing about boycotting Ralp Lauren. That Gal gadot is just a ‘proud Jewish woman’ being victimised. My sister in law is proud Jewish woman. She doesn’t support what israel is doing in Palestine & Lebanon. Gadot isn’t a proud Jewish woman- she’s just a Genocide excusing zionist

You do not get to scream “antisemitism” whenever Britain criticises the Israeli government and then call a Jewish Foreign Secretary a “Kapo” because he refuses to pass the Israel loyalty test. Antisemitism is real, so stop using the word every time somebody holds the Israeli government to account.

Pro tip for talking to the terminally ill #1 Don’t say stupid shit like ‘well, we’ll all die someday’ There’s a world of difference between the amorphous bus that could hit you crossing the road one day & having your body slowly consumed by something you have no control over. Just don’t do it.

Robert Jenrick is actively condoning an assault on a woman. In fact, he mocked it. The people with his attitude are the same people who say some victims of rape were asking for it. This man should not be near any woman if you ask me.

Some days, I feel almost normal. I laugh. I make plans. I cook meals. Then there are days when i catch my reflection in the mirror & I barely recognize what i see. A body covered in scars. A face that just looks… tired. Sometimes, my body won’t let me forget what it is taking to survive.

So far, Reform have said: It’s a hoax It’s entrapment They’ve done nothing wrong It’s a targeted attack. You know the one thing they haven’t said? Sorry. That says it all, really

With all respect to the BBC, the reason this story "matters" is not about whether it distracts from Reform's conference. It "matters" because it is important our leaders are not conspiring to break the law.

One of the most dangerous ideas I have encountered is the one where all Palestinians are collectively guilty for the acts of groups like Hamas & therefore deserve to be punished collectively. That is crazy. The median Palestinian has not done anything wrong & does not deserve this horror.

The UK has made normal life unaffordable. People work full-time £ can’t afford a house, can’t afford kids, can’t save. The cost of living keeps rising faster than wages, while rent, bills and food swallow most of people’s income. People aren’t being irresponsible. Life is simply unaffordable.

You know what Reform’s ‘marriage first’ housing policy amounts to? Telling a single parent working full time they should move down the social housing queue because another couple have a marriage certificate. It means penalising a widowed parent or someone escaping an abusive marriage.

Because apparently this needs to be said- Rape is caused by rapists. • Not short skirts • Not flirting • Not drinking alcohol • Not ‘mixed signals’ • Not a person’s dating history • Not "leading someone on” No amount of excuses removes responsibility from the RAPIST.

Almost 10,000 working age adults in the Clacton constituency receive disability payments - that's round about 18%- which is one of the highest proportions in the UK. Be careful who you vote in to office, people.

Clacton wasn’t the triumph Reform is spinning. Farage got just 1,014 more votes than in 2024 (22,239 vs 21,225). Turnout collapsed to 44% from 58% in 2024. Higher vote share on a much lower turnout against a field of independents and novelty candidates is not the crushing victory some claim.
