As a more mature woman in my mid 60s, & as a counselling student, I am horrified by BACP’s make up ad & lipstick colours to illustrate “how therapy can make you feel” nomorestiffupperlip.co.uk it’s how I feel on the inside - yes wearing makeup is a choice and it’s not all about how I look.

Yeah roast it first, but you don’t need to peel it just wash it roast it with a bit of garlic, oil salt and pepper - whatever other people have told - you and then put it in a liquidiser with some stock, vegetable or chicken depending on your taste, I never take the skin off!

As a physician, I know conversion therapy is dangerous and goes against everything we stand for in healthcare. It's abusive and not grounded in science.

Utterly disgusted, angry that the world does nothing. This has gone too far. No more. No more babies starving. No more innocent deaths. Why are world leaders watching Netanyahu and doing NOTHING? Shameful. You are all culpable of this as well as Putin’s atrocities.

"Where do I fit in? Where are my people?" Playwright @shelleysilas.bsky.social takes us on a journey through Jewishness, queerness, grief, food and family—from Calcutta to North London. It's honest, moving, and delicious (yes, there are recipes). open.substack.com/pub/whojewth... #ShabbatShalom

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

“One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman” Simone de Beauvoir - that's all I have to say about the ruling. WOMAN is GENDER. FEMALE is SEX. I don't know any trans woman who calls herself female.

The U.S. is cutting research funding, the weather service, park rangers, Social Security Admin staff, lifesaving foreign aid, plus billions in Medicaid and food stamps. For what? To potentially buy crypto with taxpayer dollars and to give more tax cuts to the rich.

It just dawned on me that the relationship between Donald Trump and Elon Musk is suspiciously close—and closed—in the same way the relationship between Trump and Putin is. Then I remembered the WSJ report revealing Musk speaks with Putin regularly. Then I understood everything.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Israel will bomb what is left of Gaza. Gazan’s will leave or stay & die. Trump will take over and that’ll be it, this is an horrendous situation for the Palestinian people in Gaza. I cannot believe the rest of the world is doing nothing.

I cannot believe what I’m hearing, they make no sense. They talk about employing the best and the brightest but they are not the best or the brightest. they are a racist group of people white men, who will only employ white men. When they talk about getting rid of DEI, they are shameful.
