“Socrates: I'm afraid that it might actually be sacrilegious to stand idly by while morality is being denigrated and not try to assist as long as one has breath in one's body and a voice to protest with.” ― Plato, The Republic Wise words by Socrates as recorded by Plato in The Republic.

It's fantastic seeing LGBTQIA+ community in libraries and engaging in literature and books... But maybe think a bit more carefully about your poster design. If you said "The L stands for literature" would Lesbians be happy being replaced? I am, in fact, not a book. I'm a person with human rights.

Facebook post: Nice and lovely post about a Muslim Hiking Group Facebook user: THEYRE ALL TERRORISTS CHECK THEIR BAGS BECAUSE THEYRE GOING TO BLOW THEMSELVES UP! *Reports* Facebook: That doesn't go against our community guidelines, comment not removed. Gee, thanks Facebook!

When you say "Immigrants welcome!" on a Facebook post.

I was hoping BlueSky was better than Twitter / X. But almost every comment I've seen on this on BlueSky are people laughing and cheering at the fact a man with severe learning disabilities (he was using makaton) has died in a brutal way. All social media sucks. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10...

What step is wishing for children to drown in the English Channel? What step is attacking the RNLI? What step is a party leader cackling at a lone woman being mob assaulted in the middle of a political rally? How many steps away are we from the death camps?

Now more than ever we are hearing language such as "invaders" and "fighting age men". It makes me think of this quote from Cebo Campbell's Sky Full of Elephants. “Make them angry, make them feel invaded, for doing nothing at all but breathing the same air through a different-looking nose.”

Microsoft actually using common sense. I'm shocked! Now if I can see Steam do the same thing (So I can laugh at the ridiculous adult games store pages) that would be nice.

So I went to the park to watch the eclipse through a pinhole projector I made and as I looked around I could see the park was so busy, hundreds of people were out, people were saying hi to each other and it was amazing. I felt this strange warm feeling. A dog was pissing on my leg.

Always check the sources, and look out for red flags. On here I saw figures which made no sense, AI content, Comments disabled on post. So I went to the Source, More In Common, downloaded the results of the latest poll and made my own chart using the raw data. It tells a much different story.

I've always said i would welcome Labour when they do the right thing, and today's business relief for venues and pubs is a welcome respite for an industry at the heart of our communities.

Privilege just means ‘private law.’ That’s exactly what it means. He just doesn’t believe the ordinary laws apply to him. He really believes they can’t touch him, and that if they do he can just shout until they go away. - Terry Pratchett, The Truth

"What kind of creature defines itself by hatred?" - Terry Pratchett, Thud!

5 black/Muslim people injured by a white person wielding 2 knives yesterday. How would the front page have looked if it was 5 white people injured by a Muslim? Because this is how the front page of the BBC looks this morning. You can't tell anything happened.

Still as relevant today as it ever was: Would you be pleased To find a nation of such barbarous temper, That, breaking out in hideous violence, Would not afford you an abode on earth, Whet their detested knives against your throats, Spurn you like dogs youtu.be/AjEAeOshUGQ

I think there's great value in the Greens running against Andy Burnham and running a really clean campaign where they don't slander at all and if Andy Burnham win give him a sincere congratulations. Show that there is a place for compassion and cooperation in politics and Greens are that place.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Just a little fact check on your statement that "Domestic violence is just as likely to happen in a middle class household as it is to happen anywhere else." This is objectively untrue. "women who are poor are more likely to suffer domestic abuse" basw.co.uk/sites/defaul...

“But we were dragons. We were supposed to be cruel, cunning, heartless and terrible. But this much I can tell you, we never burned and tortured and ripped one another apart and called it morality.” ― Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!

I reported someone for straight up calling Nursery Age Children and Nursery staff "N***ers" in a comment on a Department for Education post on Facebook. Apparently blatant hate crimes are no longer against Facebook community standards. That comment had been there for 7 weeks and had 10 likes, too.

Media rhetoric effects teachers too. I am a TA and was supporting a lesson in which a teacher said "San Francisco is a coastal city. A negative issue of this is that it attracts immigrants." Completely ignoring the cultural, ethical and economic benefit of immigrants both historically and currently.

Alex Pretti's last words were "Are you okay?" No. We are not okay.

Who could ever have known the Online Safety Act was not safe?! Nobody could have seen this coming!

"We're not racist, we are just patriotic!" As they spew hatred towards people raising money for charity because they're Sikh.

“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien

“Anyone is capable of making a positive contribution to the world through simple observation, irrespective of circumstance." ... "‘We were born in order to see and listen to the world.’ It’s a powerful notion, with the potential to subtly reshape our view of everything.” ― Sweet Bean Paste

Today on my little adventures I spotted a friend. I try not to intervene in nature but it was crawling around on and near a footpath with a lot of foot traffic, dogs and bicycles that travel over it, so I moved it a little bit off into the undergrowth. #TouchGrass

On my walk today I spotted a great many things. The birds were too flighty to photograph, the rabbits too hoppy, and the thousands of baby fish too glittery. This mushroom, possibly an Agaricus Augustus (Prince), was more than happy to pose for me, though. #TouchGrass

In 1984 lesbians and gays joined miners striking when the government sequestered union funding. The trade unions have not forgotten the support received from a community that seemed a world apart from the miners, and since then trade unions march in solidarity in pride protests (Today In Darlington)

Was followed all the way through the field by these mischievous boys. Can't say I'm still not intimidated by them even though I know bullocks are the least dangerous cattle since they're not territorial like bulls or protective and hormonal like cows, they're still pretty big! #TouchGrass
