Remember doctors and nurses and HCAs having to work without PPE during covid.
Remember all those who took their own lives after their rightful benefits were taken away.
Remember how interest rates have surged.
Remember all the shit in the water and how those responsible haven't faced any consequences.
Remember that inhumane floating prison for refugees.
Remember Brexit.
Remember that there are over 7 million people on an NHS waiting list.

GeoffHey, so I made an online course to teach absolute beginners the basics of HTML/CSS. I’m so gosh-darned proud of it — and the three years I spent putting it together. I put a lot of myself in there to make it the sort of welcome mat into front-end development that we need to get more folks coding.

Now, I’m also super shy about sharing stuff like this. But I’d really love for you to check it out and pass it along to those who need that welcoming path into the front end.

Louise LocockGenuinely quite surprised at the number of people coming out to say throwing a milkshake at Farage was 'assault' and must never happen to politicians. I absolutely agree politicians should not be subject to violence, but there is a long, proud history of throwing foodstuffs at people as a form of protest. Intended to humiliate and ridicule, not to injure. Pleased to see Mastodon mostly agrees. #Farage #Milkshake

Scottish Greens💰 An annual wealth tax on the super-rich would raise over £70 billion a year for public services like the NHS.
While millions of us have struggled with sky high bills, soaring costs, stagnating wages and declining services, for the super wealthy things have never been better.
Samantha RoseSo I happily backed @mwl’s Run Your Own Mail Server kickstarter, but I must admit I hope I never have to run my own mail server again :-).
But! I really want the book to flourish, especially so other people can run their own server.
Also, I like supporting good people being creative when I can.
