The thing that interests me most about the Harry and Megan documentary is THE GOVERNMENT JUST APPROVED A NEW COAL MINE OFF THE BACK OF THE HOTTEST SUMMER EVER AND WHILE TELLING THE REST OF THE WORLD TO PHASE DOWN THE USE OF COAL AND IT CAN'T EVEN SEE WHY THAT'S A PROBLEM.

My home of over 20 years is being cleared today. Entirely necessary because we're downsizing to a much smaller house and we have accumulated way too much stuff. But watching as men remove our belongings is like being burgled in plain sight.

It’s the fourth Saturday of November, the annual #Holodomor Memorial Day. I didn't hear about this artificial famine caused by Soviet leader #Stalin in school. I knew nothing about the millions of dead in Ukraine back in 1932–33. Only when I moved to Russia, lived there for a few years and traveled around #Ukraine, did I learn about it. And I realised: many people do not know about this crime. Good that there will be a debate on a resolution at the German Bundestag on Weds. #genocide

If Royal Mail execs have their way, it'll be the end of your local postie.

They dished out £2 billion to shareholders in recent years.

But it's never enough.

Now they want to turn it into a gig economy company.

That’s why 115,000 are on strike.

RT if you’re behind them 💌

Marina is always worth reading but the 'Can't win them all' line near then end is some of her best work.

There is no more elegant pivot than moaning about the World Cup in Qatar to begging a Gulf state to come and buy your club

My favourite #bookshop of all time is obviously Gay’s The Word in Bloomsbury. It’s one of the first places I visited when I moved to #London. I love visiting for that vibe of being a hub of London’s #queer community (sans alcohol and loud music like Soho bars).

It was founded in 1979 & it's well worth reading up on its long history. And of course, if you haven’t already, give them a visit! https://www.gaystheword.co.uk

@Santaclaus Shamelessly boosting in a probably futile attempt to get on the nice list.

WHAT?! An elf just confiscated my nice list! Apparently putting someone on it after they gave me a box of delicious chocolate brownies can be "constituted as a #bribe".

Well, if I can't choose who goes on it, I guess I shall leave that up to you fine people.

Anyone you think should go on the nice list this year?

I would think that nominating yourself will not work... but if you kindly boosted this post, someone may suggest you.
