All still suckling at the teat.

Saddened to see the “anyone but England” attitude of some of my fellow Scots today. And as someone with a genuine affinity with Croatia, having briefly considered holidaying there in 1987, I find it a little patronising to myself and my Croatian amigos on our big day. 🇭🇷

@dunfermlinep But the town centre needs a bigger store - sad to know it’s all about retail parks as usual.

@WindyWilson88 Dunfermline icy cold strong wind, heading out for first dog walk

@MolecularLab_ Did a dog write this? I live in filth. My fault letting him in the bed.

Hello, I’m a bat. I don’t drink blood, and I’m not trying to get tangled in your hair. If I accidentally fly into your home, please don’t strike me with sticks or brooms—it hurts, and I’m already frightened. I never meant to scare you. If I land, I might not be able to take off again without your help. Gently use a towel to guide me outside, and I’ll fly away at once. I help by eating mosquitoes and many other insects. But our roosts are disappearing as forests and old buildings are torn down, leaving us with fewer places to live. So if one of us enters your house, just switch off the lights inside, turn on a light outside, and open a door. I’ll find my way out quickly. Please show kindness—I want to live too.

Bats are nature's silent heroes—let's protect them together. Share this and spread the word.

Since I became disabled I have been shocked at the state of accessible toilets in the UK.

So many of them are absolutely disgusting.

Nothing makes you feel less welcome as a disabled person than having to use neglected toilets, with sanitary bins overflowing with human waste.

I’m often forced to take my waste with me, carrying it round in a rucksack and disposing of it at home.

It’s heartbreaking and it happens a lot.

Sadly, it’s very common. Venues across the UK simply don’t respect customers with disabilities and expect us to go to the toilet in repulsive surroundings.

That’s why it’s such a treat when you go somewhere with an accessible loo that’s properly looked after.

The Hyndland Rock in Glasgow has the best accessible toilet of any pub I’ve been in.

It’s immaculate, smells fresh and even has a framed print on the wall. Art! In a disabled toilet!

I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to find a toilet like this. It’s a massive relief and it makes me feel less sad about my situation.

I’m an optimistic chap but when I’m catheterising myself or emptying my colostomy bag in a foul room full of flies, it doesn’t make me feel good about my life.

So if you have a venue, please look after your accessible toilets. The basics are the most important thing: empty the bins and keep the room clean and free of junk.

Those simple things really mean a lot to people like me.

They’re not on X so I can’t tag them, but thank you to all the staff at The Hyndland Rock!

[Ireland's Trees & Mythology @Tree_Folklore]

In the dark of winter, evergreen holly was believed to offer protection, not only against witches and wandering spirits, but against lightning itself 👻🌩️

In Scandinavia it was long observed that holly seemed untouched by lightning strikes, giving rise to the belief that it stood under the protection of Thor himself⚡

And while one need not dismiss the idea of divine guardianship, holly’s spiky leaves may also act as tiny conductors, helping to channel electrical energy safely from the air down into the earth 🍒❄️

This belief was not the sole preserve of the Norse and in Ireland and Britain too, holly planted around the home was thought to guard against lightning...and the devastating fires it so often brought with it 🔥

@SoVeryBritish Oh no you’ve got the order wrong.

“It came to me that every time I lose a dog, they take a piece of my heart with them and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog and I will become as generous and loving as they are”. - Diane Keaton ❤️

A great actress & advocate for animals she will be missed
