@mhdksafa Happy birthday, Mohamad! If only we could grant you a birthday wish, you would make good use of it, I'm sure. But as it is, it's hard to find anything to be optimistic about. Hope you find something today to make you smile.

Post one of your favourite Trump-Zelensky memes below 👇

We will start first 😎

•Tens of thousands of children killed
•Hospitals bombed
•Refugee camps targeted
•Newborn babies killed
•Over 200 humanitarian workers killed

If International Law is to mean more than the paper it's written on, then those who have committed such atrocities must be punished.

@NiallHarbison I've never seen a dog look so contented. I'll bet she never imagined that life could be so good. Well done Niall, Hank and the whole team!

[Persephone @Perseph97035752]

@NiallHarbison I'm one of those many people checking in here for news on little Alba at every opportunity, willing her to live. I'd say, more than the couch and home, it's you, Niall, and the lovely Hank who are giving her strength and comfort and a reason to keep fighting. Sending love to her.

@mhdksafa Hi Mohamad, I'm spending hardly any time on Twitter nowadays, but I saw this post. Not a bot! ✋

Lebanese paramedics sit amidst the rubble, grieving their murdered colleagues.

Israel bombed a Civil Defense Center in Baalbek, Lebanon, wiping out 15 paramedics in an instant.

These were first responders, not combatants.

This is sheer barbarity.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is a massive media scandal.

@SkyNews posted a video accurately describing what happened in Amsterdam.

It described violence perpetrated by Israeli football hooligans, and their hideous racism.

They then deleted it. This is the original.

And while all eyes are on the US, this utter obscenity 👇

Just seems appropriate today.

@Mushen13 For me if I salvaged something edible that would be a win. Hope it was good. 😀

@Mushen13 A picture of Beans never fails to brighten my day. Good luck with the cake!

Word of the day is ‘laughter-lit’ (19th century): animated and restored by laughing alongside others.

That is what @JaneyGodley gave to many of us.

[Persephone @Perseph97035752]

@NiallHarbison Happy birthday, Sybille! What a wonderful person you are! It made me smile to see you and all your lovely dogs having such a good time.

[Persephone @Perseph97035752]

@JaneyGodley I'm so sorry, Ashley. Your mum was one of a kind: she gave us laughter during some very dark times and simply made life better for all of us who loved her. I'm struggling to find the words, but please know that my thoughts are with you and all her friends and family. Much love xx

[Persephone @Perseph97035752]

@JaneyGodley @UofGlasgow Thank you, Ashley, for sharing this. It's wonderful to see your mum's amazing talents honoured in this way. Congratulations Janey, it's well deserved!

[Persephone @Perseph97035752]

@JaneyGodley Sending love, Janey, and hoping you have a good day. xx

The gift that keeps giving !
