@NicolaSturgeon,thank you for your service and for standing up for Scotland. Sending love and best wishes for all your future endeavours.

Every human being is more than one thing. As a person and a symbol #QueenElizabethII was and is, simultaneously, a heartless oppressor at the head of a remorseless pillaging, raping, and murdering empire, and a a kind hearted individual who gave up her life in service.

The extraordinary moment when the great humanitarian & trauma surgeon David Nott met the Queen, shortly after his return from Aleppo.

[Nat @unfortunatalie]

Can't believe they are going to make a MAN queen. This woke nonsense has gone too far.

[Manuel Aragorn, Non Fungible Tolkien Minority @Spacejunc]

I think the Queen would want us all to live the way she did, with free public housing, basic universal income, and full government health care.

@bankofengland @royalmail Any chance we can just keep the Queen on the money and the stamps?

[Catherine Gilliland @CatGil35]

@bbcnews I’ve always understood the #BBC to strive for unbiased reporting. When will we hear something other than the standard platitudes and pretending that everyone everywhere will feel this loss the same.

[Catherine Gilliland @CatGil35]

@BBCNews please let someone normal people reflect on the Queen, take a mic out onto the mall.

[Catherine Gilliland @CatGil35]

I hope our #QueenElizabethII finally gets the rest she deserves after a life of dedicated service. But “enough… enough now” no one should be forced to live as a symbol because of an accident of birth.

Running a human body can be expensive, particularly when that body needs menstruation products and the support of a good bra *sigh*

@PlacesGym I managed to get in touch with Places Gym in Edinburgh and a colleague there had passed a request to their manager to cancel my membership. Couldn’t get the app to work even after a reinstall.

[Catherine Gilliland @CatGil35]

@PlacesGym Been trying to get in touch for membership help. Can you help?

I am a big fan of this graph.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Love this graph 🤣

There may have been some confusion over the importance of masks a few months ago, but please do keep wearing yours.

Please also RT to encourage others to keep doing the same.

[Catherine Gilliland @CatGil35]

Yes please! Gaming is one of the upsettingly long list of things I’d told myself I just would never be able to take part in because of inaccessibility. I’m tired of being excluded from huge chunks of life. #Accessibility #Inclusivity #Gaming #AccessibleGaming #VisualImpairment

Great example of how annoying an overuse of emojis is when using a screen reader. Bloody hell

[The Abominable Doctor Cookie @Johnboy_Cook]

If you CBA or don’t know how, YHIS is what it sounds like...

[Catherine Gilliland @CatGil35]

@mymanbuns Your quiz is bad but I enjoy the name, the patterns, and the models.

[Catherine Gilliland @CatGil35]

@Stillbuff Love the #TaylorSwiftFolklore episode. I presume you guys are watching #TheOwlHouse? #StillBuffering #Disney #Cartoons #Represent #LoveIsLove #LGBT

@McElroyFamily Such big love for this family

[JoCo Cruise @JoCoCruise]

Show this to a friend who has never heard of the @McElroyFamily & ask them what they think is happening here 😂
