“Trans people are less than 1% of the population. Trans people are not the reason you can't afford eggs, or pay your rent. I think you might be focused on the wrong 1%.” - Bristol Central MP @carladenyer.bsky.social quotes Laverne Cox at trans rights demo in Bristol today.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

Why are so few people talking about this? Either they don’t know, or they’re pretending not to know …and I don’t know which is worse.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

I must say, I am in Lithuania right now and every single person here knows this. You can feel it in your muscles and your bones. Putin is right there. Is NATO real if America hates you?

The Trump/Zelensky exchange is truly appalling for all involved.

As you watch Trump berate and put his hand on Zelenskyy just ask yourself one simple question: could you ever imagine him speaking to Putin like this?

All pretences dropped now. The US government has shifted its allegiances to Russia, and the entire basis of our security, tied as it was to an illusory special relationship, has just gone overboard. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

U.S. votes against U.N. resolution condemning Russia for Ukraine war
Washington’s shift on the Ukraine war marks a major break with European allies and comes as the Trump administration aims to repair relations with Russia.

Ad entitled ‘become an American citizen - apply for a green card’. Side profile of Statue of Liberty with fireworks behind…or is it something on fire?

This is real (at least in the US). It's not one of those stupid things where you put an idiotic statement on your FB page declaring something illegal. I just checked it on FB settings and it had a list of every website I visited recently. Fucking weird. The future kind of sucks.

Hi @sophyridge.bsky.social I realise this is not your personal responsibility but can you encourage colleagues to improve captioning on news items? Watching the Zelensky interview, the caption accuracy rate is poor. This excludes a lot of viewers #disability #inclusion

Been having fun with the edible glitter and icing today after making #gingerbread houses and a #Christmas tree yesterday; the first of a few to bake
A gingerbread Christmas tree is standing in the middle, covered in icing snowflakes and a light dusting of silver edible glitter. Either side are little gingerbread houses with star-shaped windows filled with melted boiled sweets and chocolate button roofs. The icing is dripping down the front and back to form mini icicles

Thanks @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social for sharing & @carolvorderman.bsky.social for creating. Some I’m already following, some I’ve added, a couple I’ll probably pass on. The lovely thing I’m finding on here is it’s ok for us to not have to like all the same things & still be respectful to each other 🦋

2 weeks ago: Was busy with the usual batch of #Christmas cakes. Still finalising this year’s decorating theme
Two saucepans on the hob gently simmering. In the pans are a jewel-like mixture of sultanas, raisins, currants, glacé cherries, orange & lemon peel. They are gently bathing in a fragrant mix of pear cider and a splash of brandy before soaking overnight to plump up fullyTwo of the cake mixtures are now in their tins, carefully wrapped in a double layer of brown paper, and popped into the oven for a gentle long bake. They are smelling good enough to eat…in fact I did eat some: chefs perk to scrape the bowl and lick the spoon

19 million @bsky.app users? Better make sure they all know about the handy alt text reminder! 🫡 Go to Settings > Accessibility and make sure "Require alt text before posting" is toggled on. We love that accessibility is such a priority here.
A screenshot of Bluesky's alt text reminder options. At the top of the page it says "Accessibility" then underneath there are two options for "Alt text" which are "Require alt text before posting" and "Display larger alt text badges." The first of these is toggled to "on." There's also a "Media" option which is "Disable autoplay for videos and GIFs."

Hello! I’m not sure how many people who care about the NHS are here yet- but the non-profit campaign org I run (EveryDoctor) is running a massive campaign involving 99 MPs so far, and I need to connect with as many lovely folk as possible. If you follow me, share+like this I’ll follow you back!Ju☺️💙
