As it's always five o'clock somewhere, I am the Master of the Hurricane and the Caipirinha. Recovering Neomaxizoomdweebie and one helluva Columbo fan. I'm L.
@columbophile Snapshot Season 2 Episode 7. What are the chances my favourite show influenced the naming of my second favourite. Unlikely, as it is such a blink and you'll miss it shot, but lovely that Columbo can still reveal to me, however preposterous, personal easter eggs.
Please listen. Maeve is spot on & in this ever shallower virtue signalling world, you may think letting gay kids ruin their bodies & any chance of a healthy future is kindness (it is not, it’s cowardice, protecting them is) or ruining young girls sporting dreams, by allowing boys to unfairly steal their accolades, is kindness (it’s not, its un factual & un scientific) or allowing male sexual predators to share cells with vulnerable female inmates… is kindness (it most definitely is not, it torture). Just check your logic. Stop Being a Handmaiden or a coward & be more Maeve.
"No, I don't subscribe to this 'kindness' - I'll tell the truth instead."
I spoke at the Cambridge Union last night about LGBs, children's safety and women's rights. Full video here:
Pumpkins:
Halloween is one night.
Tonight.
If you have to waste a food item (and I strongly suggest you don't), please put it out for one night, then safely dispose of it.
Please DO NOT put it out for the wildlife.
Once you've handled it, cut it, left it out in the open, unrefrigerated, it will not be hygienic or safe for anyone to eat.
Pumpkins are a low-acid vegetable, so once they are cut and left at room temperature, pathogens will rapidly grow on the flesh, producing mould spores.
Our precious wildlife do not have any magical properties that protect them against food poisoning.
Additionally, this time of year there are baby hedgehogs around, born too late to find natural food, desperate to eat anything to stop the pain of starvation.
Pumpkin has a laxative affect so it would be particularly cruel to leave it out for starving wildlife to eat in desperation, causing them to lose precious fluids that may make the difference between life and death.
So no matter what you read elsewhere, please DO NOT put your discarded decoration out for the birds or any other wildlife.
Please DO NOT compost them either, as a composting pumpkin can produce highly toxic tremorgenic mycotoxins, which will be deadly if the compost bin is not properly secured and is accessible to wildlife (or pets).
Many hedgehogs, seeking the warmth of a compost bin, die this way every year.
Once you've used the pumpkin as decoration it's waste, fit only for the bin.
Please help get this vital message spread far and wide, to save precious lives and prevent suffering.
Very disappointed to see this. Those Israeli wheelchair athletes have nothing to do with political decisions & this was not the right thing to do. I’m very surprised @ParalympicsGB were ok with this?
We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran.
Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. https://t.co/AjT8qmxsZI
It took three extraordinary, tenacious Scottish women with an army behind them to get this case heard by the Supreme Court and, in winning, they’ve protected the rights of women and girls across the UK. @ForWomenScot, I’m so proud to know you 🏴💜🏴💚🏴🤍🏴
