Let's do something Putin will hate. Let's rejoin the #EU. And if that means we have to have cheaper food and fuel; the right to live, work, and retire in 31 other countries; higher environmental standards; and peace secured in NI, then that's a price I'm willing to pay...

Give your mail a cosmic commemoration!

On Sept. 24, #OSIRISRex spacecraft will deliver a capsule of asteroid material to Earth as part of its journey #ToBennuAndBack. @USPS announced an #OSIRISRExStamp to mark this epic delivery available later this year: https://go.nasa.gov/3lqhvNR

Let’s get one thing straight: it’s not radical to prosecute a former president if he actually broke the law.

“No one is above the law” is only true if we make it so.

I have an allotment. It's good because you don’t need to know much; there’s always some old geezer around to ask for advice.

This morning I went up to plant my first early potatoes. On my neighbour’s plot was a young woman in her 30's who had been sent to plant some onion sets, and she didn’t know how. So I spent a few minutes taking her through it and showing her the onions I’d planted on Friday as an example.

After she’d gone, I suddenly realised …

I am now one of those old geezers.

by age 30 you should have a few stock market crashes, one 9/11, and a multi year pandemic under your belt

Yay lol!

Why #WearAMask outside? So many reasons, but here are my top three: it keeps you warm when there’s a windchill, you don’t have to stop to put it on when you want to go inside, and last but not least…it keeps your mind at ease when people are hacking up a lung next to you 😎 #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne #WearARespirator #MaskUp #UpgradeYourMask @novid

Hello! I'm an environmental journalist with the @TexasObserver. I've been lurking while reporting an investigative story... but now that I've turned in a draft and have my head partially above water, I want to engage!

I'm a bumbling New Englander in San Antonio who didn't realize homes here don't always come with heat, accidentally rented an apartment with no HVAC, and have been alternating between boiling hot and freezing cold ever since!

Here's a photo of my cats.

@atrupar Pence: "Americans don't want to see Trump arrested."
Me: "If you put his booking on pay-per-view, you could pay off the national debt."

@jeremybmerrill What Alex Jones is pulling there is commonly called bankruptcy fraud:

"Federal prosecutors can bring criminal charges for suspected bankruptcy fraud under 18 U.S.C. Chapter 9. Proof of fraud requires a showing that the defendant knowingly and fraudulently misrepresented a material fact. Bankruptcy fraud carries a sentence of up to five years in prison, or a fine of up to $250,000, or both. Even just intending to commit bankruptcy fraud may be punishable."

Arresting people for obvious and admitted crimes? Where will it end? It’s a slippery slope.

Hey Mastodon, I just made an elephant jewellery set! You can get it for you or someone you love on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1428444470/unisex-elephant-pendant-bronze-style-set?click_key=31e12368e115b545cf2001d03f372b1846554452%3A1428444470&click_sum=1f013b08&ref=shop_home_active_1

I’ve lost count of people saying there’s no point voting as “they’re all the same”. Depressing to say the least.
But the current system is not sustainable.

If you think there's nothing you can do personally to help trans people, consider this one thing.

When people respect the pronouns of trans and non-binary teens, it reduces their risk of suicide by almost half.

Do it. And tell everyone you know. That simple one-word difference that costs them nothing could save life.

So, I gather that, tomorrow, Trump will be perp walked up a ramp by JFK Jr. to a precinct or something. But, Trump's mask will be dramatically removed revealing it's actually JFK Jr., at which time JFK Jr. will remove HIS mask revealing George Takei. Then we have cake?
