@tasmosunt.bsky.social and I took Patch to the cinema. It was his first time seeing a movie on the big screen. We took him to see Avengers: Endgame, and he did quite well. He sat/lay down very nicely through most of it, only getting fidgety towards the end.
Thank you to the hundreds of volunteers for spreading our great energy across Holborn & St Pancras. This election could not be closer and every single volunteer brings us closer to electing our 6th Green MP. We can win this election - but only together. Sunday sign up below!
My girlfriend and I completed our watch-through of Iron Fist’s first season today. It was very disjointed with awful pacing. It had entertaining moments, but I get why this is the poorly regarded entry. Once we watch the show’s second season, we’ll have seen all the Netflix MCU stuff.
This is the equivalent of saying that the M25 is really busy, so we'll take a couple of lanes away.

It’s Patch’s 13th birthday today! Happy Birthday Patch 🥳🎈
Hi friends, my carer (who’s also disabled) got screwed over by a doctor fuckup earlier this month, forcing me to share my prescriptions with her. I am now short myself, and currently staring down the barrel of a fibromyalgia flare up I can’t control. Grateful for any help! paypal.me/StuffOfMemes
I generally avoid most comic news websites but this is brilliant. Lmao
The TUC, congress of all the UK's trade unions, have voted to condemn the EHRC guidance and backed self-ID. Good luck finding reporting on it, you'll struggle to find it, even as the papers report on plenty of other things the TUC has voted on, and speeches. leftfootforward.org/2026/09/tuc-...

Delegates backed a motion branding the EHRC guidance 'discriminatory and unworkable'

In my view, assisted dying would pose a risk to far more people than it would help. People would be killed who might have been helped. The benefits would be anecdotal, but the harm would be systemic.
I am glad that MPs have voted against legalising assisted dying today.
@laurakbuzz.bsky.social do you have any resources for people who are newly disabled and still adjusting to being disabled?
Israel's defence minister revealed that his Government is seeking Donald Trump's support for their plan to forcibly remove Palestinians from Gaza. Forced displacement is a war crime. When will Labour act? End all arms sales. Ban illegal settlement trade. Sanction the Israeli Government.
With how copyright discussions are going regarding ownership, I half expect companies to start using the term “digital trespass” to have their cake and eat it regarding the “you don’t own stuff but piracy is still theft” argument they’re trying to make.
Tag and the biggest trans positive account you follow and ask them to repost this to spread the word among the community. There will be many people panicking about being forced out of work, social engagements and general life this evening. I'm sorry that this is the best we can do. Truly.

youve got 5.6 billion to make a 7 season 56 episode show airing over 15 years, wdyd
We need a serious reckoning about the British press. We've had too many tragedies. And this whole saga was nothing but appealing to the worst, most prejudiced instincts of their writers and readers. They turned this into a cruel, relentless spectacle until a terrible outcome.
This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.
