So I've just been over at Bluesky to see what everyone's on about. It looks rather nice over there.

I'm easy to track down, if you want to.

[WE ARE IRANIAN STUDENTS @wais_global]

Varishe Moradi, a political prisoner and women's rights defender has been sentenced to death penalty on the charge of "Rebellion".

The sentence has been issued by one of the most cruel judges of the Islamic Republic of Iran :
Abolghasem Salavati.

Varishe has been denied the right to defend herself along with her lawyers being barred from defending their client by the judge himself.

From her arrest to her death sentence, every step was a clear violation of Varishe's fundamental rights.

@JaneJohnsonBakr Shiver. It shows how perfectly Cromwell controls and knows those around him, and also, I think, how he values the few friendships he has.

It will be horrible to see him spiralling down when Henry's paranoia and self-centredness get the better of the king.

#WolfHall Astounding acting from all, especially Mark Rylance: how can his impassive face show every thought and emotion to us? I can feel the shifting sands of Henry's court under everyone's feet, as they dance to the king's unpredictable tune.

And the costumes!!

[@Freyalyn @Freyalyn]

@FionaAnnBennett @wisemandebbie Isn't it amazing! You almost don't hear it, it's so perfectly fitting.

[@Freyalyn @Freyalyn]

Watching #WolfHall, you can see how everyone who survived contact with Henry VIII suffered from PTSD for the rest of their lives, with the effects echoing through the subsequent reigns...

[@Freyalyn @Freyalyn]

@medievalgill I rather liked Firebrand, but I think it was mainly enjoying the costumes, which were spot on, rather than the imaginative plot and conjecture, which weren't.

Just today ALONE, Israel has killed 10 paramedics in Lebanon.

And in just 40 days, Israel has murdered over 200 Lebanese paramedics.

This should be front-page news everywhere.

But where is mainstream media? Still crying about violent Israeli football hooligans in Amsterdam.

Please retweet to help George find a home #LANCASHIRE #UK - Available for adoption, registered British charity✅
Details or apply for George below https://t.co/bnYDbVtVkG……
If being affectionate was an Olympic sport then George would be taking home the gold medal! He is a 4yr old ex racing Greyhound who is extremely friendly and excellent when walking on lead. Because of his background we would be looking for a cat free home. During his racing days he had an injury which resulted in a fractured foot, however this has healed completely and doesn’t cause any issues other than him having a limp. George can currently be seen on our viewing kennels at Bleakholt.
If you think you could welcome this wonderful boy into your life then please apply online.

I feel deeply for people grieving for family who died in any war, but despise the British nationalist glorification indulged in by the UK establishment. In contrast, I recall the words of men I interviewed like John Brown, and their truth about Churchill Gallipoli & WW 1.

If today's left you low & scared (it has me), maybe focus on small good things that lift your mood (for me it's things like these👇), the people you love most, making/creating & getting outside if you can.

A multitude of small bursts of dopamine will help to keep us going...
