Y’all, this is why men should not be making decisions about women’s reproductive health.

Thank you! The Wild Robot is a genuine delight and audiences have been moved and entertained across the run. Beautiful too!
Cool movie, and great to have an #IndieCinema like @LuxeWisbech to watch it in. Particularly liked @MarkHamill being in it! Teen suitably impressed I knew who he was πŸ‘€πŸ˜ #TheWildRobot

As our Instagram and Facebook following grows, our Twitter seems to slowly fall, bit by bit. Soon we'll be sitting here, on an island, on our own, talking to some cows, about how it used to be. So we tweet on, cows against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Pity media isn't picking up on this positive connection to Wisbech, we only see negative press 😞 #CapitalOfTheFens #KateWinslet #LeeMiller

I saw the rain dirty valley, you saw Brigadoon. I saw the croissant, you saw the whole of Sassoon.

ultimately, the way you refuse to acknowledge any of this is your responsibility too is why this is happening to us. It’s why we are being murdered, abused, rape and harassed. All of it’s connected. All of it matters. And none of it will decrease until you wake up and join the fight. πŸ‘ŠπŸ»

Very disappointing to see an education secretary who doesn't understand the law or how children learn. Though not unexpected considering previous form of Labour.
I make no apologies for saying the best place for children is in school. The Tories tinkered around the edges of a generational challenge. Labour are gripping it. This week must be back-to-school week, not just for some children, but for all children. thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

An effective monologue occurs when someone (loudly or softly) revokes the ability to be interrupted. It is a masculine, conversational gesture and, as such, it feels especially strong when the feminine form claims it. Nicole Mary Kidman.

I’d forgotten about ostentatious breastfeeding! It became a whole thing, didn’t realise it was him!

QED rewatch: On Being Unreasonable (2023) From abortion rights to immigration, gun control, & climate change, civil debate has gone out of the window. The social contract is breaking down. Why can't we all be reasonable? @KirstySedgman speaking in 2023 qedcon.org/updates/2024/rewa…

I am DETERMINED that Musk, the bots & the provocateurs will not take this platform from us. Inspired by the counter riots in the UK where positivity dwarfed hate, I think we should flood Twitter. So here’s my starter… I’m on a road trip to discover Joan of Arc. Day 1 Rouen x

I’d like to talk about my Dad. He came to England from India at age 17. He had a brutal childhood- he’s refused to talk us kids about it but part of his childhood involved living on the streets as a child in India Coming to England saved his life. Literally. He has worked - shop keeper, then taxi driver & has contributed to tax his whole life here. He refused to charge people for his taxi service when they visited hospitals, students who felt unsafe walking at night etc. He worked 7 days a week, and we lived month to month. My Mum, at the age of 64, still works full time as an insurance broker & has also paid tax her entire working life. My Dad retired at the age of 70 during the pandemic as he was diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully he’s currently in remission πŸ™ As soon as he was given the β€œall clear” he could finally pursue his dream - to feed those in need. At the age of 70 he asked my Mum to teach him how to cook. Every Tuesday he buys food to feed about 100/200 homeless people a week. He wakes up at 3am every Wednesday to cook the food, package & distribute it with a team of volunteers who also provide them warm clothing, cut their hair etc with nothing but love. The volunteers are from all backgrounds, all colours, all ethnicities as are the people they serve. He is the kindest, most compassionate person I know. To have people judge him based on the colour of his skin breaks my heart beyond measure.

One of the best robots. πŸ‘Ύ It's from one of the best all-time movies. Interstellar! πŸ§‘πŸΌβ€πŸš€ Do you remember TARS? A developer called Charles Diaz has created a fully functional TARS replica using a @Raspberry_Pi. This isn't just a static model - it can move forward and turn on sides. At the heart of this stellar creation is a Raspberry Pi 3 B . The robot's graceful movements come courtesy of 4 micro servo motors and 5 metal gear servos. Bluetooth remote control ensures smooth operation. All code and CAD files are freely available on Hackster.io! 🧱 Build it guys, build it, break it, and build it again: lnkd.in/dAGrVpyc P.S. The music makes me feel nostalgic... ~~~ ♻️ RT to help 1 robot find a new workplace.
