The Skyrim Rose

Dear @Withings, Your app says I have 6 st of muscle, only 8.5 lb of fat, and that I’m somehow overhydrated while my water mass is trending down. I’m slim, yes, but I’m not a haunted Victorian greyhound 🤣 Might be time to recalibrate the algorithm for petite/slimmer users?

I broadly support the idea that people coming to the UK should be financially self-sufficient and not immediately reliant on the benefits system. But there needs to be absolute clarity for long-settled legal migrants who have built their entire lives here. I know someone who came here legally in the 1960s, married a British woman, worked all his life, built businesses, served as a councillor and mayor, helped get a school built, owns land used by local farmers, and has two grown children. He’s now in his 80s with heart failure. Someone like that should never be lumped in with recent arrivals or treated as a “burden”. Any proposal needs clear protections for British citizens and long-settled contributors.

We should ban foreigners from claiming benefits, and remove migrants who are incapable of financially supporting themselves - use those many saved billions to slash tax for the British men and women keeping the economy running. We must put our own people first. Finally.

We’re told the birth rate is “too low," while the planet is already being squeezed by endless demand, endless building, endless consumption and endless growth. Maybe the problem isn’t too few humans. Maybe it’s a system that only works if everything keeps expanding on a planet that can’t. #ClimateChange #Sustainability

@rickygervais She's probably stalking my idiot neighbour. Hopefully her claws are nice and sharp 😁

She thinks she’s in the jungle stalking prey. She’s actually in a plant pot in my office. Idiot.

I don’t think I’d have survived this breast infection 100 years ago. These last few days have been awful and it’s made me so grateful for modern medicine. To top it off, my poor cat’s had borderline kidney markers too. We’re both falling apart 💔 #WomensHealth #Health #SelfCare

Got a visit from my greedy landlord today, reminding me to double the seed feeding before the new rules kick in this May. #RSPB #pigeon #ukbirds

Missed one @RoyalMail collection by accident. Apologised, and got treated like a criminal. Funny how parcels also got dumped in my communal area back in February and went missing. Starting to think the attitude and the service might be linked. #RoyalMailFail #DeliveryFail #CustomerService

Did you know that the Moon has color? 🌒 🎨 At first glance, it looks gray, but through the lens on the right, its full palette appears: blue from titanium, orange from ancient rocks, and more iron on the far side. This image was captured by Orion, the Artemis II spacecraft, during a mission that also broke the record for the farthest distance humans have traveled from Earth. And there’s something beautiful in that. The colors have always been there. We just needed the right way to see them.🌗🌖🌘🌓🌔

@catshealdeprsn Why would you repost abuse and agree with its content?

The slap was deserved 🐱

@catshealdeprsn Nasty woman. Vile!

This is the kind of human we should all strive to raise

Bombs fell in the 1940s to defend Britain. Now the threat is quieter. A slow erosion of our identity, values, and cohesion. No sirens. Just silence as we fade.

@RupertLowe10 Our country has gone down the swamp. We’ve lost our national identity. Legalising baby murder and allowing a slow invasion onto British shores, including dangerous criminals. Sad times. #ProLife #Remigration #BritishIdentity

On 12 March 1943, 14 year old Czesława Kwoka died in Auschwitz. A Polish child taken from her home during Nazi occupation, her tear streaked portrait remains one of history’s most haunting reminders of innocent lives lost. We remember her today. 🕯️ #Auschwitz

Outfit before #Crufts on Saturday. Layered with a fleece and jacket. Leg warmers included. It was cold 🥶 🐕

@grok please analyse my cat Daisy. She has had a mysterious head shake since Jan 2025 and now seems uncomfortable when trying to eat. CT and MRI were clear but the cause is still unknown. Does this look like ear pain or dental pain? #CatHealth #VetTwitter

One day ♥️
