@SamaHoole And if it doesn't come from a female mammal it's not milk.

It’s not ‘vegan leather’, it’s plastic. It’s not ‘vegan wool’, it’s plastic. It’s not ‘vegan leather’, it’s plastic. It’s not ‘vegan fur’, it’s plastic. It’s all plastic, and every time you wash it, or damage it, or try to dispose of it, that plastic ends up in the water, in the earth, in the air. Meanwhile, wool is 100% renewable and biodegradable. Reject veganism. Use wool. Save the planet.

@benonwine He's laughing at us. There's no empathy, no compassion.

This Trans Man says he is experiencing really bad period pains! 🤔🤭 He now says he can truly empathise with women and knows exactly what they go through. What ADVICE would you give him?

“How do you get your coal Alastair?” Well, the good old fashioned way. Blokes on a boat come past and deliver the coal sacks straight to the boat. Now that’s a proper job. Backbreaking too. Carrying hundreds of sacks of coal a day. The blurred figure towards the rear of the boat is a bloke with a sack of coal on his back walking along the gunwhales, which are six inches wide.

#DoYourPelvicFloorExercises as you do your googly-eye vandalism.

A few weeks ago, the company I work for issued compulsory "training", including statements such as: “Remember, if Cathi is trans, saying ‘she used to be a man’ isn't accurate. Trans women are women, and they've never not been a woman”. I shit you not. So I've waited till today, when the company hosts one of its quarterly meetings with all the top brass across several sites, in person and online, to read out a statement on exactly what I thought of this “training”. I made reference to the precedent set when @MForstater won her appeal in June 2021, and levelled an accusation to the entire company that they are indirectly, and possibly directly, discriminating against all its employees under the protected characteristic of their freedom of belief. You could have heard a pin drop. At first. The result? HR is now bricking it. The training is no longer compulsory. They're taking matters under review, and I've had so many hugs and messages off support from my female colleagues. My boss shook my hand. It isn't easy speaking up. I've been very nervous till today. But as @ThePosieParker keeps telling me: if not me, then who? If not now, then when? I think it was important that someone saw a gay man stand up and defend the women he works with, and send a message that this absurd nonsense has no place being forced upon us. I've sure I've made plenty of enemies at work today and pissed numerous people off. And I'm glad. I'd do it all again in a heartbeat because it's simply the right thing to do.

@HoministPapers @HistoryGirlBW I'm quite happy for you to you block me. Go ahead.

@annaydwi @HistoryGirlBW Do NOT F*CK WITH A HOMINIST. OK. Don't try that gaslighting BS with a hominist. My point AS IF YOU DON'T KNOW is women were never oppressed & men had it worse than women. THAT'S MY POINT & if you ask again I'm going to block you.

A rare glimpse of Edwardian Halifax on a cold January day in 1902. Cows and horse drawn carts share the roads with electric trams, children fascinated by the camera, gentlemen in hats and ladies in long skirts. One of Britain’s earliest surviving films, now over 120 years old.

@DavidWa05437830 @MrPitbull07 It's the not knowing. Mine goes off for a fortnight every spring. No idea where. Hope yours comes back.

@MrPitbull07 My cat, shitty kitty is gone 11 days now. He was the best mouse/rat killer EVER! No pity! He’s gone before but never 11 days 🥺

Thick ice in the gutters caused problems last night when rainwater backed up and came over the lead upstand and poured into the house. It's never happened before but I can tell you it was a night of pyjamas and wellies and very cold fingers!

@HoministPapers @HistoryGirlBW Me neither. Or working down a mine like many of my male relatives. Life was pretty awful for both sexes. What's your point?

@annaydwi @HistoryGirlBW I'd have loved baking cakes too. Bearing arms in 3 or 4 wars over 20 years, not so much.

Hannah Hauxwell (1926-2018) was a remarkable woman whose quiet strength and solitary life on a remote Yorkshire farm captured the hearts of a nation. Living alone without electricity or running water, she tended to her family's land in the harsh conditions of the Pennines, where winters were long and brutal. Despite the challenges, she remained steadfast, embodying resilience, humility, and a deep connection to the land. Her life came to public attention in the early 1970s through the Yorkshire Television documentary *Too Long a Winter*, which highlighted her isolated lifestyle and the immense hardships she endured. Audiences were deeply moved by her quiet dignity and the stark beauty of her existence. Further documentaries followed, chronicling her rare trips beyond the farm and her later years, allowing millions to witness her evolving journey with warmth and admiration. After retiring from farming, Hannah lived in a modest cottage in a nearby village but remained an enduring symbol of rural life in Britain. Her death in 2018 marked the passing of a beloved figure—an icon of endurance and authenticity. She left behind not just memories of a tough and tender soul, but a lasting reminder of a way of life that has nearly vanished from the modern world. © History Pictures #archaeohistories

You walk into a church and see this.. What's your next move?

@akafaceUS I walk out.

@unhealthytruth @akafaceUS They already have. Look up 'dragged to church'.

@akafaceUS They may have stole our rainbow and the pink and white one, but they sure ain’t stealing our churches. We need to rise up and shut this grooming sh*** down.

Police called because stickers said “transwomen are real men”. While we’re fully aware TRAs would make such a truth illegal if they could, it’s worth noting that even if you take away all the speech & all the stickers in the world, men who claim to be women will still be MEN.

@HoministPapers @HistoryGirlBW I'd have loved baking cakes. Giving birth 15 times not so much.

@HistoryGirlBW Hey, women, can you imagine how you suffered being home & having to bake cakes next to a fireplace while your men had it easy in the freezing cold raiding horse wagons to market?

Would just like to confirm that the snow has in no way affected today today's passenger services.

At the edge of the pavement along Caledonia Place, Clifton are 24 of these pennant stone “mounting blocks”, installed in the 1840s they were intended to assist the elite of Victorian Bristol getting in & out of horse drawn carriages. Only a few examples of them remain in England

It's always who you least expect.
