Campaigner. Fan of accountability. Terrible policy-making, not so much.

Masih Alinejad@AlinejadMasih·
While the world watches the war, the Islamic Republic of Iran hanged a 19-year-old boy today. His name is Erfan Esfandiari and he was his parents' only child. He did not kill anyone. He did not carry a weapon. His crime, according to the Islamic Republic, was opening a door. Sheltering protesters who were running from security forces. That was enough to send him to the gallows. Erfan was one of 12 young men in the Alikhani Square case in Isfahan, arrested during the January 2026 uprising. Yesterday, all 12 were moved to quarantine. Today, the Islamic Republic hanged him. This is a government that is so terrified of a generation that refuses to be silent, that it executes teenagers for the act of compassion. Say his name. Because the regime is already trying to erase him. Because his mother and father are left with nothing, not even the right to grieve loudly.

If a charity promotes antisemitism or homophobia, it isn’t serving a public benefit. It’s time the Government accepted that advancing religion isn’t always charitable and reformed charity law accordingly.

We're quoted in @Telegraph after reporting a religious charity for: 🛑Hosting a preacher who called for Jews to be killed 🛑Suggesting execution of gay people is OK in Islamic states 🛑Saying gay people want to destroy the human race telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/07/1… @charleshymas

"Hang in there, sisters!" Every single man who cheered the advent of the Taliban because it was one in the eye for the Americans should be whipped from town like an egg-sucking dog theguardian.com/global-develop…

Mum died peacefully in the early hours. All a bit surreal atm. Thanks picked pals for listening to me wittering on while I was hanging round her bedside and distracting me with silliness.

There’s an alternative some seem not to have thought of, to speaking ill of Ann Widdecombe. Saying nothing. Nothing at all.

Sooz Kempner blocked me on here, some time before the Bluesky exodus. I was a bit miffed about that, when it happened, but now I see it as a badge of honour. I'm fine - in the broadest sense - with these people having contemptible opinions, but must they be SO crushingly unfunny?
Rainy@rainy101

Popped over to Bluesky to see how the failed comedy people are getting on. That's enough kindness for one day.

This little chap was already on the way to us before we lost Bella as we were going to have three dogs. We were all still sad but he's really cheering us up. Please meet Frank...

Just one dish of water, in the shade.
Hedgehog Cabin@HedgehogCabin

Some kind organisations are posting messages urging people to leave out water for our precious wildlife in this hot dry weather, which is brilliant, thank you. But this rumour doing the rounds that hedgehog mums abandon their nursing babies is utter nonsense. Hedgehog mums are the most patient, loving parents you can imagine. They are tightly bonded and would NEVER willingly abandon their babies. But they die. They die because lactation places a massive continuous drain on a mother's water reserves. If she is deprived of water, her body is forced to pull from its own tissues and blood supply to maintain milk production, resulting in rapid blood volume depletion and thickening of the blood. Producing milk requires a massive amount of calories and water. If resources are scarce, the mother's body goes into a negative energy balance, which drastically accelerates the depletion of her internal reserves. But they stay with their babies, protecting them, loving them, literally giving them their last drop of life. The starving dehydrated babies eventually stagger out of the maternity nest, instinctively seeking sustenance. By the time they are found by humans they are so near death and their dehydration so extreme that only subcutaneous fluids from an experienced rescue can save them. All this heartbreak and tragedy can be avoided, and rescues freed from bed-blocking babies, if only everyone simply puts out a dish of water. Right now. And tonight. Front and back. Under cover in the shade, if possible. A turn of the tap can save so many lives.❤️

Accepting the ‘it was the NIMBYs’ explanation is making a choice to ignore exactly how complex and troubled the infrastructure pipeline in the UK is. It’s a mess. HS2 was a mess from the start and it’s time to have a serious conversation about it, not a petulant teenager’s.

The Infrastructure & Projects Authority tried repeatedly to raise the alarm,barely mentioning local mitigation measures. The DfT became a mess, reorientated to deliver a single project. Anyone who is serious about infrastructure would be at very least reading *some* documentation

This is such an ignorant and harmful position. The UK will never get decent infrastructure if there is no serious attempt to understand what’s wrong with HS2. Lazy narratives like ‘was the NIMBYs’ make it easy to look away.
Annie Eaves@AnnieEaves

Sorry, but this is nonsense. HS2 became such an over budget and delayed mess precisely because communities were listened to. Tunnels had to be built, nimbys took control. It’s the planning rules which stop anything in the UK.
