Some people drink to celebrate
Some drink to numb themselves.
Are you drinking to enjoy or escape?
In this episode, we explore how to deconstruct the psychology of addiction and how quitting can simply be a mindset shift:
Blimey! Ireland are playing Afghanistan at cricket in August. Given the absolutely brutal treatment of every woman in the country, there’s going to be one helluva protest isn’t there!
This woman should not be given ONE SECOND of airtime or attention from the media - whatever has led her to this is besides the point. She is causing endless harm and needs to be ignored and driven out of polite society:

It’s is a really dark day when a talk about the history of ancient Israel and Judah is cancelled by the British Museum because of ‘security concerns’.
Is this what we do now? We cave in?
इस प्रचंड गर्मी में हमें अपने आसपास के पशु-पक्षियों को भी नहीं भूलना चाहिए। अपने घर, बालकनी, छत, दुकान या ऑफिस के बाहर पानी से भरा एक छोटा-सा बर्तन रखना भी किसी प्यासे पक्षी के लिए जीवनदान बन सकता है। आइए, इन कठिन दिनों में पूरी संवेदनशीलता और करुणा के साथ एक-दूसरे का ध्यान रखें।
देश के अलग-अलग हिस्सों में तापमान लगातार बढ़ रहा है और इसके साथ ही दैनिक जीवन में गर्मी से होने वाली कई कठिनाइयां भी बढ़ रही हैं। मैं सभी देशवासियों से आग्रह करता हूं कि जितनी अधिक सावधानी बरत सकें, अवश्य बरतें। कृपया स्वयं को हाइड्रेटेड रखें, घर से बाहर निकलते समय पानी साथ रखें। ऐसे मौसम में आपकी संवेदनशीलता भी बहुत बड़ा सहारा बन जाती है। यदि संभव हो, तो किसी प्यासे व्यक्ति को एक गिलास पानी अवश्य दें। मैं ऐसे लोगों की सराहना भी करूँगा जो अपने घरों के और दुकानों के बाहर मटके में जल रखते हैं ताकि कोई भी उनसे पानी पी सके।
England has over 3,000 lost medieval villages.
Entire communities once stood where fields and sheep now lie.
Some were abandoned after the Black Death in the 14th century. Others were cleared to make way for profitable sheep farming during the late medieval period.
Today, their remains still survive across the English countryside.
Sunken lanes. Crumbling church towers. Raised earthworks beneath the grass.
One of the most famous is Wharram Percy in North Yorkshire.
For centuries it was a thriving farming village. By the early 1500s, it had largely vanished.
Archaeologists have uncovered:
• house foundations.
• roads.
• ponds.
• even evidence of medieval meals and daily life.
Many lost villages are still visible from the air.
At sunrise or sunset, ancient field patterns and abandoned streets sometimes emerge beneath the light and shadow of the land itself.
England’s countryside is not empty wilderness.
It is a landscape shaped by generations, layered with forgotten lives and stories.
Have you ever visited a deserted medieval village?

Huge rise in factory-style dairy farming of ‘battery cows’ in UK as costs rise @guardian
“Investigation finds number of dairy farms where cows cannot go outside has more than doubled since 2015”
“We managed to ban battery eggs; why not battery cows? It is shameful that we subject cows … to these conditions of cruelty & confinement.”

@v_j_freeman@Zoya_ki_batein Being a middle aged woman is like being in a movie where the main character travels back in time to warn the locals that a volcano or something is going to wipe them out, but they’re like “you’re just jealous because my toga is prettier”
The Supreme Court has ruled that under UK law, trans people never had the rights people like you insisted they had. You misrepresented the law and cheered on the removal of women’s rights. Trans people have lost nothing except the mistaken belief you fostered.
Did I Do Wrong?🤷🏽♀️
Mrs Akila Recounts:
"My mother-in-law once visited and instructed me to have my one-year-old daughter circumcised BUT I lied that FGM had been done on her as a 'birth package' in the hospital.
But two years later, she visited again and realised that she hadn't
You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.
Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.
And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇
British pollinators. What a workforce ! Without this amazing team there would be no gardens or food for that matter. We must do our best to look after them, teach our kids they are friends and build habitats to show them how loved they really are.
HMP Downview, a women’s prison in Banstead, has five biological males in it. If that was not bad enough, those males are mixing with the women in the daytime without adequate supervision. Will the Prime Minister ensure
