I am beyond horrified to read this. We live in a world where women are at risk of being systematically bullied out of public life. This is despicable.

LBC news have just described Ann Widdecombe as a “reform MP”. 🙄

Yes!! My left pec seems to be overworking to compensate but that actually makes it worse! How is it doing now? Did it eventually get better?

Have any #MECFS people had very localised PEM? I massively overworked my left arm (i.e. did some typing 🙄) two weeks ago and it’s still sore and weak. I’m trying to use it less but need it back!! It was part of a crash which I am still in though improving (except for the arm). #NEISvoid

Alas! It is 31 years since the world was deprived of one of its more colourful culinary characters: Phyllis Nan Sortain Pechey – better known as double bigamist, child abandoner, amphetamine user, dangerous driver, and celebrity cook Fanny Cradock

Fanny Cradock in a red dress in a TV studio with a spherical Christmas pudding in front of her and two ovens behind. She has a manic look on her face, which I believe is intended to convey triumph at her creation, but makes her look unhinged

Yup - viruses kill but before they kill you you can spend 40years being unable to move, exercise, have children, keep your career, and you can watch your family fall apart. All because you wouldn’t wear a mask? #ME #LongCovid #Lyme #POTS #PEM #LivesWeCannotLive @longcovidsupport.bsky.social

The cartoon series is called - “This Week in Disbelief...

There is an image of a dead woman. Beside her someone on her dropped phone is saying “Hello? “Hello...?

The title says - Viral and post-viral illnesses can kill you

The caption says WEAR A MASK

it is a short (under 200 pages!) book about the current information crisis that we're living through and comparing it to what happened after the invention of printing and after the invention of writing. tl;dr, it feels like everyone's going bananas! and we lose respect for other humans! #dontburn

I dream of the perfect mattress! But it's such a long road because first you have to get rid of the imperfect-but-ok mattress, then order a new mattress, then realise it's worse than the old one, then faff about finding another one while worrying it'll be even worse. I doff my nightcap to you.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia. Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long. There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Thank you, this is what I thought! Beyond extreme edge lording but from what others have said also a sub-sub-sub-culture that extended from pre-Oswald Mosley to the National Front. Maybe he was on that continuum, maybe his family were. I would watch his Who Do You Think You Are…

That explains it, thank you. I think I have been naive not to be factoring in the NF & BNP. The dominant culture being so anti-German (let alone anti-Nazi) well into the 90s made me think this was rare or unusual. So much for that.

Thanks for giving me this song though! Wiki tells me it was taken on by the British Union of Fascists so that might have continued its use among some in the UK. I remember at school all sorts of casual racism and mocking of German students about the holocaust, but no one sang this stuff by the 90s.

Becca Von Hattifnatt @vonhatti.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

I've just quote tweeted Adam's post asking what the songs were. I'll google this one but you might know: were Nazi songs (in German?) known and sung in the UK by sympathizers in the post-war decades? It astonishes me that any British boys (however deeply unpleasant) were singing German Nazi songs.

Becca Von Hattifnatt @vonhatti.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

What intrigues me about this is: what were the songs? Were Hitler Youth / Nazi songs well-known in the UK at that time? Did Farage come from a background that secretly played Hitler music? Were they singing in German? I'm not quibbling or being sarky: I'm genuinely interested.

I was thinking a tight-lipped Fiona Shaw as the senior Lady Vere-Thissett, and (if only) Joyce Grenfell as the second. AI can probably oblige but I don’t think I’d want it to.

Small Bomb at Dimperley by @lissakevans.bsky.social is a joy from start to finish. Laugh-out-loud funny and poignant too. TV commissioners, you want this! A 6-part series for fans of Jeeves & Wooster and Foyles War (i.e. everyone). Theme tune: Noel Coward’s The Stately Homes of England. 🎬🏰 📚💙

Argh, I just found an earwig climbing up my neck, perilously close to my ear & I know the internet says they don’t particularly want to go in there, but I think this one did. Also, I have two past experiences (a ladybird & a fly using me as an Ear BnB) that tell me this happens!

Anyone know what this gorgeous big-eyed buttermoth is?

A creamy yellowy-white moth/butterfly perched on pink mint flowers. If you zoom in you can see its furry head and what I’m guessing is a large eye. Sunny day, blue sky and lots of tall mint in the background.
