@benonwine Of course. Anyone can be 🤷‍♀️

Settle Argument… can black people be racist?

@alexgill_ …and that’s working well 🙄

Only the SNP will always put Scotland first.

@jbceltic7604 ……and when they can’t get into a Scottish university because they’ve had to take on foreign students to fund themselves …..

My daughter and 200 of her School friends are voting SNP and looking forward to their free education at University, hearing Reform and the unionist parties will take it from the young people of Scotland, please don't allow it if you care for your children.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@ThrillaRilla369 We found something to do 🤷‍♀️

To those who grew up without the internet… how did you DEAL with BOREDOM at home?

@shouq_al90149 Yes

Yes or no

Myth: "I only wear vegan fabrics. Better for the animals, better for the planet." Let's check in on Doris's annual contribution. Once a year, in late spring, Doris is sheared. The procedure takes approximately three minutes. Doris does not enjoy it. Doris does not, by any visible measure, suffer from it. Doris is, immediately afterwards, a noticeably more comfortable animal in the British summer. The fleece weighs approximately 3 kilograms. It is sold to the British Wool Marketing Board for, depending on the year, between £0.40 and £2.50 per kilogram. The shearing costs more than the wool fetches. Brian is shearing Doris at a loss. The wool is then: - Naturally flame-retardant - Naturally antibacterial - Moisture-wicking - Biodegradable - Renewable, annually - Carbon-storing while in use The replacement, in performance fabrics: - Polyester - Polyamide - Acrylic - Polypropylene - All petroleum-derived - All shedding microplastics on every wash - All requiring fossil fuel inputs to produce - All non-biodegradable, with a typical landfill lifespan of 200-500 years A single wash of a polyester fleece can release up to 700,000 microplastic fibres into the water system. These fibres are now in: every tested water source on earth, every tested human placenta, every tested rainfall sample, the deep ocean, the Arctic ice, and the lungs of marine mammals. A single wash of a wool jumper releases: nothing. The wool, when eventually disposed of, returns to soil within a few years. The fabric being marketed as the "ethical" alternative to wool is plastic. The plastic is "ethical" because nobody has been asked to slaughter the polymer. The polymer also has not been asked. Doris, by being a sheep on a fell, is producing the most thoroughly sustainable performance fabric humans have ever made. Brian is selling it at a loss. The fashion industry, meanwhile, is selling petroleum at a profit and calling it ethical. Reject plastic. Wear wool. Doris is, this morning, growing next year's batch.

@heraldscotland There is a difference between a trans person and these lunatic misogynistic fetishists who want nothing more than to destroy women’s rights but women’s rights MUST always come first. We need protection from this group.

'Trans rights are human rights and are part of my feminism' After Scottish Labour candidate Rashid Hussain used an election leaflet to say "As a father of daughters, unlike the SNP and Green candidates, I am also unequivocal in supporting women’s rights to single-sex spaces", Scottish Green candidate Holly Bruce said: “People in Glasgow Southside deserve better than this divisive nonsense. “Trans rights are human rights and are part of my feminism. There are plenty of Labour members and supporters who feel the same way. “This should be a positive contest and not one where we smear each other and try to turn communities against one another. “I would urge Labour to retract this shameful letter and apologise for ever issuing it.” 👇

@JohnSwinney So where is the money coming from for all these subsidies John? And why haven’t you done this earlier?

As First Minister, I will take urgent action to support people - with a £2 bus fare cap, cutting the cost of essential foods, and bringing down electricity bills with the fresh start of independence. The SNP wants to lower your bills, other parties are trying to stop us.

Sizce hangisi daha zarif ve güzel duruyor ?

@realMaalouf The police force is there to protect us from the “baddies”. Sometimes they can’t do that effectively without force. You can’t have it both ways. If you have stabbed innocent people you deserve everything that’s coming to you.

The Muslim community in the UK is outraged at the way police detained the 45-year-old Muslim immigrant who stabbed two Jewish people in London this morning. According to them, officers used excessive force in a ‘dehumanizing’ and ‘Islamophobic’ manner.

@BBCNews Yeah. Thats what it looked like on CCTV 🙄

Man accused of airport PC assault 'feared for life' bbc.in/4t7vk0r

@mamboitaliano__ Surely that’s a matter of taste? George obviously does and that’s what matters.

Is there anyone other than me who thinks that Amal Clooney’s supposed attractiveness is totally overrated? 👀🐫

@JohnSwinney @IntoUniversity Nothing is free. Someone has to pay for it. That’s why Scottish universities are full of foreign students who can pay for it.

The SNP will always protect free tuition in Scotland, because education should be based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay. It was good to meet pupils in Govan whose futures are being transformed through @IntoUniversity, a programme we are proud to support.

@BTCBreadMan Tell him he can make up the difference if he likes it

Took my 16 year old to look at cars today. At first he loved the Toyota Camry we looked at, but when he saw the seats were cloth he hard vetoed it. They have another one with leather seats, but it’s an XLE and costs $5k more. How can I change his mind so I can save some money?

@Murk441 Get him to finish the sides. It looks pretty cool!

my son did this to my chair.. what should i do??😭😭😭😭

@JohnSwinney How does that work. The farmers m, manufacturers and supermarkets all just roll over 🙄

We are ready to cap essential food prices and support people with the cost of living. Other parties are trying to stop us from bringing prices down. On May 7th, vote SNP for a government that’s always on Scotland’s side.

@TansuYegen Love this! I’m definitely trying that out.

This scarf hack just fixed sleeping on planes forever 😉✈️🧣 Wrap it around the headrest = instant neck support. Every traveler needs this! 🔥

@happy_at_home_ Everyone is different. I had very little to complain about. The odd hot flush. Possibly a bit more stressed but that was more to do with juggling work and home responsibilities. I do know people who genuinely had a terrible time so would never judge.

I’m tired of talking about, thinking about, hearing about, reading about PeRiMeNoPaUsE. I’m just going to ignore it & see what happens. Our moms did not talk about it incessantly & they’re doing ok.

@Halo_chains She was distressed. Of course you should have called her parents!

Hosted my 8yo daughter’s birthday sleepover as a single mom. One girl (first sleepover, no heads-up) woke up at 1:30am crying, terrified, begging for her mom. I tried comforting her for a while but she was spiraling, so I called her mom to pick her up. Mom showed up annoyed and later texted that I should’ve “waited it out” till morning , now her daughter’s embarrassed and scared of future sleepovers. I wasn’t told this was her first time away from home, and I didn’t want to force a distressed kid to stay during my child’s party. Was I wrong for sending her home instead of staying up all night playing therapist? Single moms especially what would you have done?

@DavidJHarrisJr Prat!

Zack Polanski: "A woman can have a penis, people are not born male or female." Who's going to tell him?
