Bats get such a bad reputation and they are out here eating thousands of mosquitoes a night and navigating by SOUND and looking like tiny cloaked scholars. they deserve better.
Ten years is too long @andyburnham
Look at Mamdani
Make a difference *now*
Tax the super rich
Nationalise utilities *now*
And give Britain a pay rise
The billionaires & profiteers have had it their way for too long
It *must* be our turn
Those AI fruit videos are the worst genre of any media I have seen in my life. They are repulsive on absolutely every single physical, emotional and spiritual level. They feel like a vision of hell
i hate how the current conversation around heatwaves is planting trees for shade and getting aircon rather than how are we gonna stop the temperatures from increasing even further
Anyone else get genuinely excited to go to bed? Not even to sleep right away, just to get cozy, watch something, read, or scroll your phone without feeling guilty. It feels safe and comforting in the best way
How the fuck are single people on minimum wage in the UK expected to actually survive on their own?
The maths just doesn’t work anymore.
A full-time 37.5-hour week (because nowhere wants to pay you for breaks anymore) brings in around £1,700 a month after tax, National Insurance and pension.
Then you’ve got rent at the lower end of the market at roughly £800 if you’re lucky, £120 council tax, around £350 for utilities, and at least £70 a week just on food.
By the time the essentials are paid, you’re left with maybe £150 for the entire month and that’s before transport, emergencies, or anything unexpected.
Minimum wage doesn’t even come close to covering basic living costs anymore.
