@Brummy How was the exam?

No one is forcing you to 'accept' a single thing. You're just not allowed to terrorize people." 3/3

No idea of the origins of this, but it resonated with me. (Caption in comments)

[ilene (she/her) 💭 @ilene]

etc then you're still welcome to feel however you want to feel about those people. You're just not allowed to make their lives harder because of your feelings. You're not allowed to turn their daily lives into a battle ground. 2/3

@TizzyEnt Have a great birthday!

@juanmata8 @ManUtd Thank you for your leadership on and off the pitch. Your presence will be missed.

It's an absolute tragedy how these humans are being treated simply because they want safe lives for themselves and their families.

Johnson & Patel want to deport refugees to Rwanda before even hearing their stories. Many have fled repression & war

We spoke to a Syrian held at a UK detention centre & recorded the call

Fearing retribution, his words are translated and spoken by an actor

This is his story

@GeneaKathy @Cheriqui @TizzyEnt And I knew if someone did something stupid like throw a punch that he'd have gone to the defense of his friends. I didn't want him hurt, but I definitely didn't want him branded aggressive or dangerous for trying to protect people.

[ilene (she/her) 💭 @ilene]

@GeneaKathy @Cheriqui @TizzyEnt I lost my Max 3 weeks ago. He was the sweetest Staffy, but he would absolutely pay attention if someone was upsetting or being aggressive towards us or his friends. Any time trouble was brewing I had a death grip on him because I knew his breed would be held against him.

@womensquarterly @FortunaLiving @ilenecarol Thank you. You're the first one to catch it. From my notifications, I apparently get up to some incredible things. I just roll with it after so many years! 😂 Wishing ilenecarol the best!

@instantkarma80 Jules knows I know very little about cricket. I hear him shouting at the match on TV and then he'll pass by me and rant in detail - even though he may as well be speaking some long dead language to me. Lol

[ilene (she/her) 💭 @ilene]

The massive delays and cancellations are not giving me a very good feeling and if I have to leave the hotel to get to the airport 6 hours early, I will. But if love some input from those getting assistance to see how badly it's affected.

[ilene (she/her) 💭 @ilene]

Any #disabled passengers that have flown in/out of #MAN airport using Special Assistance out there that can tell me how bad the delays are? I mean, I know it's bad for everyone, but I would like to know how much earlier I should be to get through the carnage that's been going on.

[ilene (she/her) 💭 @ilene]

And THAT flight aborted takeoff while we were in the air and eventually was cancelled. That left me stranded in a country I was only meant to have an hour layover in for TWO nights. So I'm already a bit stressed that I'm on the same flights with the same airline...

[ilene (she/her) 💭 @ilene]

@instantkarma80 It's easier for me to follow from one season through the next and make a better decision if I think a show has hopelessly derailed or if it's just a few episodes that rub me the wrong way. (Or even if it's just me & it's just not what I want to watch right then that's the issue.)

[ilene (she/her) 💭 @ilene]

@instantkarma80 I just returned to Stranger Things for season 4. I don't remember all of season 3, but enough that I don't feel like I needed to rewatch it before 4. I like to have a break from series and wait until there's a season (or more) that I can unhealthily binge.
