Just for the avoidance of doubt. There is good & bad in all walks of life.

As many fans of Luna would have noticed, she’s been absent from recent posts so we thought it was time to give you a quick update 🐴

@history99917180 Evening Dave. You get more handsome every time we see you. Hope the staff are treating you well. 🥰

Evening all.

Dedicated to #WomansHour 's tribute to #JenniMurray

T/W Suicide. It was five years ago in January when my brother took his own life. Today he'd have been 45. Instead of getting ready to go to a party I'm going to his grave. He was the strongest of us, the healthiest of us, the most successful of us. He was the happiest of us, the one who always checked we were all okay. Until he wasn't 💔 His son only really remembers him from stories we tell and videos/photographs he sees. The problem is, he was usually the one doing the filming. I never noticed that until maybe a year after he died. Please listen to your instincts if you ever feel like something is wrong - even if they tell you they've ''never been better''

Harry having his laser treatment ❤️😎

@PrishaMosley I was/am always barefoot indoors (& out as much as I can) healthy diet, Only minimal sweets at weekend. Loads of exercise, played in dirt with dogs, cats, bugs. Just basic hygiene, nothing OTT. Even now, in my 40s, I'm rarely ill.

Calling on moms…. Can you share with me some good immunity and house keeping tips? I don’t want my kids getting sick like I am. What things help with staying healthy that aren’t too hard to do?

@TheVikingDane It's a moments like this I'm proud to be part descended from Huguenots. 😂

I am starting to love the French 😭😭😭 I know that wasn't part of my citizen oath - quite the opposite. 😂😂😂

I recently discovered a rather unusual chain in my attic and am hoping someone might recognize what it could be for. The chain is wrapped around a support beam and runs down through a hole where the roof structure meets the floor. When pulled, quite a bit of chain comes up, but something seems to prevent it from being pulled all the way out. It also appears to have a weight attached, as it quickly drops back down if released. I’m genuinely puzzled about its purpose and can’t think of what it might have been intended for. The house dates back to the 1950s, although I have no idea whether the chain has been there since then. Unfortunately, I don’t have a banana for scale—just hoping someone might have seen something like this before!

@carrotcottagerr @Harry_lil_man Oh love them ❤️

“Yeah dats him, he said I wus a smelly bum!” @Harry_lil_man

@barratt_Daisy Ours are allergic to beef & believe me most cat food contains beef in it (jelly, gravy, meat & animal derivatives). Helpfully if I buy something with it in they refuse to eat it. So my two munchkins eat Lily's Kitchen Pate. Just sit down when you see the price. 😁

Fussy and judgy cat alert! Bean will only eat freshly cooked chicken or fish 🥴🥴 I’ve tried everything from cheap cat food to the expensive stuff, in the photo below and she just refuses to eat it unless I cook for her. Any tips to get her eating something other than fresh?🤣

@BridgeBooksDro1 @loveswimming That was you! It came up on my feed when I opened it then disappeared before I had a chance to follow. Now rectified. Fwiw at least your fringe doesn't have a cow's lick 😅

@loveswimming Thank you!

I wish I had a massive team to introduce you to, but it's just me. This is Bridge Books and its wonky-fringed owner 🙈 Hello, everyone. Thanks for following.

Very few people knew I was at a civil trial all week in Preston County (except a few stalkers). I was suing @LancashirePolice. Today the judgment was handed down: I won on every count. HHJ Deane made the finding against #LancashirePolice of unlawful arrest, unlawful detention, assault and battery, trespass to the person and property, and unlawfully withholding my property for over 8 months. That property was evidence which denied me a fair trial and caused an unsafe conviction. That conviction was overturned only after the Crown Court ordered Lancashire Police to return the evidence, and the case then collapsed as it showed that I was assaulted by a lying police officer. Formal notes from the magistrates court confirm that officer lied in those proceedings and he should now face perjury charges or misfeascance in public office. That same officer lied for almost 7 years, denying he assaulted me, but only now admitted it on oath. The judge fell short of a finding of dishonesty, but made criticisms relating to his ever changing 'evolving' witness statement. That lying officer will be dealt with in other proceedings. This will now likely cost the taxpayer over £100,000, (although costs are yet been determined). This is only an estimate based on a 5-day civil trial, associated legal fees, and the compensation still to be assessed. My fantastic legal team @DPPLaw and barrister wiped the floor with them, and this will set the stage for the other legal actions already in progress against the same police farce. Lancashire Police chose to defend this claim using taxpayers’ money that they had no personal risk in using. It comes out of public money and no single officer is penalised. They have free rein to waste public money at their discretion to try to deny victims getting justice or showing the police in a bad light. My aim is to stop police forces doing this and hold individuals to account. This is my FOURTH sucessful civil Claim against Lancashire police, so far, £42,000 paid in compensation (excluding this case). I still have FOUR further civil claims against Lancashire Police, each one as strong as this one. Also, claims against three other police forces 'linked' to Lancashire police. That is ELEVEN civil claims against the police. This is a matter of SIGNIFICANT public interest, how can a single police force be so complicit in conduct that is so costly to the tax payer. I remind you that this all started when they protected a Police Informant named Paul Turner who threatened to kill my family. I will never stop holding them to account. If you want to help, please see my bio and buy me a coffee.

@Loumac60 @flyabout7 I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️

@flyabout7 Gorgeous boy Our dog died suddenly a week ago which is heartbreaking but I get comfort from seeing all the wonderful pups out there 💔

Zorsted. 😴 I told you he would be following today’s shenanigans. 🐾💨💨 I fed him around 30 minutes ago and then he went missing. I’ve just found him upstairs, crashed out on his bed. 😏😂 #LazyLurcher #AdoptDontShop

@warmsox @fem_mb Yes, that's it. One lucky house gets half the road's mail through their door, which is a bugger if said household is away. The good thing about all this is that it should weed out the incompetent.

@SarahRockell @fem_mb My neighbour is home in the day and usually will take in parcels for the rest of us left in her porch. The other day she posted she fidbt mind parcels but was drawing the line at letters as she had two for other neighbours

I've never noticed when looking at photos that British people don't have mailboxes in front of their houses. So does every house have a mail slot in the door, even if you live out in the country? Are all of the mail carriers on foot, or do they just get out of the truck and walk up to every house in the country? I can't sleep until I know how this works.

In an age when most women were expected to remain silent, Mary Astell picked up a pen and began asking dangerous questions.... Born in 1666, she grew up in a world that believed women were naturally inferior—creatures meant for obedience, marriage, and little else. Education was considered unnecessary for them. Astell disagreed. And unlike many women of her time, she had the courage to say so publicly. Writing in the late 1600s, often anonymously to protect herself, Astell argued that women were not naturally foolish—they had simply been denied the education that allowed men to flourish. If women appeared weak or irrational, she wrote, it was because society had deliberately kept them ignorant. Her most famous work, A Serious Proposal to the Ladies (1694), offered a radical solution. Instead of forcing women into unhappy marriages or intellectual isolation, she proposed the creation of a women’s college—a place where women could study philosophy, science, and literature while developing independence of mind and character. Marriage, she warned, could easily become a form of lifelong submission if a woman entered it without knowledge or self-respect. In one of her most famous lines, she asked a question that still echoes today: “If all men are born free, how is it that all women are born slaves?” For a woman writing in the 17th century, the question was explosive. Though her college was never built, Astell’s ideas quietly reshaped the conversation about women’s rights, education, and autonomy. Long before the organized feminist movements of the 19th century, she had already imagined a world where women governed their own minds—and therefore, their own lives. #archaeohistories

I don’t know if I’m the only one. I only see them if someone else reposts. They don’t come up for searching. Not sure what the bunnies did 🙄 but x needs to sort their shit out. SHARE THE BUNNIES!!!!!!

@arthistorynews After a lifetime of seeing the plain stonework, I admit it's a little unnerving to see it in its original state. A sensory overload but so interesting. Thank you.

Doing slides for my talk in King's Lynn tomorrow,* with a little AI help to reconstruct what was lost during the Reformation. This is Ely's Lady Chapel, as we went from a world where believing was seeing to one where believing was hearing (and later, reading). * tix >

@TinyWriterLaura I'm in Kent. 😳😱 Keeping everything crossed it won't spread outside the county & will burn out quickly.

so with the meningitis thing this may be the time you want to mask on public transport. bacterial meningitis isn’t airborne as it doesn’t linger in air but it IS spread by droplets from coughing/sneezing, so with it spreading from Kent & people travelling… better safe than sorry

A chaotic explanation about what happened to my previous X account. It might help explain a few things. More likely, like everything in X, it will probably make no sense at all. If nothing else, there is a lovely horse eating carrots. #horses #socialmedia
