Yup, pretty obnoxious parking lot on our waterfront! Did we mention it’ll cost $400 million and that every Ontarian is paying for it? #topoli #onpoli

‘They speak for “the voices underneath the rubble, for the children bombed in their beds, for the doctors killed in their scrubs.” This war against a civilian population must stop now and Canada must use sanctions to help make that happen. https://t.co/Wy6VqlvuDu

Uh oh. Big screen in the National Trust office is now streaming PuffinCam. You can watch all the live action on the Farne Islands from a desk in Swindon. How are we supposed to work with this going on? It’s like Oscars night on a loop, but with better outfits and manners.

While they may be shocking, these statistics aren't new. They’ve been known, studied & reported on for decades. Yet, action continues to be underfunded, delayed, and sidelined. These aren’t just numbers. They’re lives. And they’re still waiting for justice. #MMIWG2S #MMIWG

🗞️Distressing act of violence committed against a visibly Muslim woman when a perpetrator assaulted her, & attempted to set her hijab on fire. Islamophobia has led to too much violence in our country. Such hate has absolutely no place in our communities.

Thames Water was privatised in 1989 with no debt. Since then it’s racked up £14.7 billion in debt at the same time as paying out £10.4 billion to its shareholders. If that's not a scam, I don't know what is! #OurWaterOurWay

ALL my books, stolen by Meta to train its AI, multiple times. 16 years of work, 20 novels. And Meta - one of the richest corporations on earth - chose to use pirated books because ‘it was too expensive’ to pay for them. Wholesale theft, from every author I know. Disgusting.
