People in the UK seeing their bills rise by £693 (54%) per year while Shell reports £900 PER SECOND in profit is an absolute disgrace

That would be a big no. As long as I was reading they were happy. I probably read some things when I was too young (i.e the Mists of Avalon as an 11 yo). But I survived.

Three days into this same ‘injury’ and it is agony. Quote retweeting this mostly so I can read the replies properly when I have time 😂

Today felt weird being trapped inside with Eunice raging on the other side of the glass. It reminded me of being in lockdown and, even though I had a lovely day with the kids indoors, it was extremely draining being back in that mental space again.

I’m watching the Marrakech episode of #InventingAnna and, even tho I read the article when it was published and know what happens, I feel extremely stressed watching it play out.

Overwhelmed. People are going to suffer tonight, and for a long time, as superpowers use their land and lives as chess pieces to advance state power. Imperialism is an old sin with the same old consequences, no matter how much our planet ages.

Once again, we see there are consequences to elections, and that fact that there are Americans and politicians who support Russia is revolting.

#Maddow explains the real reason why Putin invaded Ukraine, " he also just cannot let any country near him work. Work in a way that may indicate to the Russian people that they too ought to expect their country and their government to work for them."

Struggling to watch the news at the moment the world is so awful - I just want to turn it off. Yet when I feel like that I imagine what petrified civilians in Ukraine must feel like and for them its not hearing the news, its hearing and feeling the bombs. So I try to keep it on

Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene should be expelled immediately for their absolutely disgusting attack tonight. They both should never be allowed to run for office ever again. They should have no platform anywhere. And no role in public life in general. They’re horrible.

Happy #WorldBookDay ! Even though the kids couldn’t dress up to celebrate, they were so excited to share one of their favourite books at school today. (And the baby just made me read his current fave over and over again).

Word of the day is ‘battologist’ (17th century): an individual who repeats the same story over and over, even when all the facts contradict them.

Happy #WorldBookDay from Daisy Butters and Peanut Jones! These two characters have brought so much joy into my girls’ lives, and I’m so glad they get to share these books with their classmates. Nicholas the bunny has to wait one more year, but we will read lots of books today ❤️
