It takes a sociopath to remain a billionaire/trillionaire. To have that much wealth (in whatever shape) & to know you can never spend it in a lifetime while kids starve, wars rage, our environment is destroyed, people can’t pay thier bills, & providing min wage is antisocial personality disorder

They openly admit their election crimes & are actively doing everything they can to undermine & outright steal the Midterm Elections. Any surprise he fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission? He knows if he loses he's headed for a 3rd Impeachment & an orange jumpsuit. 🀞 πŸ‘

I want to start #PrideMonth by wholeheartedly standing with my trans friends. While bigots with large bank accounts may influence policy, you are loved and supported by the majority. #GWithTheT #NoToTransphobia

[Key] Lime Pie by Nigella. This is lighter than you would expect thanks to the whipped egg whites. The sharpness of the lime cuts through the sweetness too. #DomesticGoddess #CookTheBook

Three weeks ago, I found this beautiful jackdaw struggling to move in my garden (pic 1), so I took him on a long trip to the Kildare Wildlife Rescue where the brilliant people there took great care of him. This morning, I drove back to collect him & released him in the garden (pic 2):

Molten Chocolate Babycakes by Nigella. These have been a staple for me for years. Chocolate sponge cakes with a rich, gooey centre. The top came off this one, but you get to see how luxurious they are inside so it’s all good! #DomesticGoddess #CookTheBook

Chocolate Mousse Cake by Nigella. This is so airy and light that it might actually float away if the chocolate did not keep it down. #DomesticGoddess #CookTheBook

Courgette and Chickpea Filo Pie by Nigella. Crispy filo pastry filled with onion, courgettes, chickpeas, and rice coated in turmeric, cumin seeds, and coriander. #DomesticGoddess #CookTheBook

Boxing (St. Stephen’s) Day Egg and Bacon Pie by Nigella. I know it’s April, but there are spring onions in this so…. #DomesticGoddess #CookTheBook

The last 24 hours have shown what many have said for a long time. Britain's role as an accomplice to Trump's America must end. We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home. That starts with suspension of the US bombers on British soil.

Lemondrop cocktail by me! So, I had a lemondrop cocktail in the @w_singapore in 2014 which I just tried ro re-create. This is my version. Perfection!

Cornflake Crispies by Nigella. So, we always made the Rice Crispy cousins of these petit fours as kids. Another welcome edition! #DomesticGoddess #CookTheBook

If you act in or buy the work of any artist who consistently funds organisations that harm minorities while claiming that you do not agree with their viewpoints, you are still actively making more money for them to funnel into their bigotry. Actions speak louder than words. #TransLivesMatter
