🌱🌱 Autumn is coming so today we cleared pumpkins and squash, what's left of the potatoes and put garlic, onion and celery in plus a few brassicas. Was nice to see a bee blissed out on a dahlia!

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

I shared some photos this morning of the new Barbour x Norbit collection. Some people really liked the jackets, but expressed concern over the prices. These jackets are, admittedly, expensive. So here are some tips on how to get something similar for less. 🧵

Toxicologist here. If you have a working liver and kidneys then you are already “detoxing.” Supplement use is one of the leading causes of liver and kidney failure. The only thing you’re getting rid of when you fall for these predatory wellness grifts is your money.

What the fuck do they mean 'spontaneous protest'? 1000 people spontaneously taking a walk around Dover with Balaclavas? Look at the social media of every Far-Right organiser in the UK... This was so clearly planned. This tells every Far-Right thug in the country that they have utter impunity.

It's tragic that Jason Arday took his own life. But as a society we must stop thirsting for endless retribution. TV and media serve up what we 'want'. None of us know what motivated him to end his life, it's complex & multifactorial. But we must recognise our own roles as consumers & commentators.
