@TenancyDeposits I am receiving appalling service from your company. Operatives seem incapable of hearing what I am saying, I am having to repeatedly say the same thing, denying there is a problem and seemingly feeling it is my job to sort it out rather than them phone the agent.
Had he not died in the car accident that cut his life tragically short, and lived until now, Albert Camus would have celebrated his 111th birthday this week. This short video traces his absurdist, hopeful flavour of existentialism. Happy birthday, Albert! https://t.co/pMUZaHLs2g
The cat has gradually squished me up into a tiny corner of my enormous settee with constant cat spreading over the laptop every time I shuffle over to free my view.
Everything feels a whole lot less secure this morning. The climate crisis, womens rights & autonomy, racial equality, press freedom, democracy. It feels, as a female, that The Handmaids Tale is just a breath away from becoming reality.
I pray god, (of any faith you please), that Ahoo Daryaei is not being beaten, raped, tortured or killed. I hope this is a continual international pressure & outcry until this brave, so brave, young woman is safe.
Wish id never watched Dispatches. I'm now in a stinking mood. The biggest scroungers in the UK aren't the disabled, it's isn't those needing UC tops ups and its certainly not nurses, train drivers etc. It's the royal sodding family.

Have said previously what a wonderful writer #ElifShafak is. I read her as if every word matters. There is nothing extraneous, jarring or a single word I would replace with another.
EXCL: Scores of Prince William's rental properties fail to meet minimum legal energy efficiency standards for landlords. Some of his tenants at risk of fuel poverty, living in hard to heat homes riddled with damp and black mould. With @C4Dispatches

Kemi Badenoch is genuinely one of the nastiest, most divisive people in British politics. That she’ll now have the platform of leader of the opposition is a deeply worrying result, and a depressing insight into the gutter from which she’d govern.
@IsobelGlenelg Yes, big disadvantage. I could never get on board with disney stuff, probably it's popularity began after I was older, mine was always nature based magic. This remains one of my fave books. Illustrations are beautiful.
