It's utterly horrific and frightening- and so fucking sad too.

THIS. If you’re in central Glasgow tonight please close your windows; if you have to be out please wear the best mask you have available. If you can smell it, you’re at risk.

For context:Glasgow Central is the busiest station in Scotland, as well as the third busiest station in the UK outside of London with 25million passenger journeys in the year 23/4. It is ALWAYS heaving& tomorrow it will be closed with thousands of people unable to get to work (our busses are a joke)

I am deeply confused as to what more of the hundred knew about Gaspode than Carrot in Pointless. Wtaf.

I haven't bought from Amazon for a long, long while, but I still had public wishlists on there. I just logged on and deleted them. Super not safe.

Jumping into the cold sea, in the pouring rain, whilst congratulating each other very loudly & calling it wild swimming is a cult perpetrated by the dry robe people, right? By all means go for a swim in the sea, but the herd-like packs all dressed the same & incapable of volume control are the pits.

It is INFURIATING that lazy management is cutting so many people off from jobs they could be EXCELLENT at. Can the job be done flexibly in time and location? Right let's start there and actually THINK about the negatives to that, rather than just mandating rigid presenteeism (which solves v little)

The amount of grace you gave in this response is incredible. I wish you a goodly amount of time free of randos playing the shitty pain Olympics (and have all digits crossed that you are not snowed off)

Trans doctor in changing room row leaves the NHS Dr Beth Upton and NHS Fife were taken to tribunal by nurse Sandie Peggie after she was suspended over an incident in a female changing room.

The headline to this should be Bigoted Nurse Drives Doctor Out of NHS Through Harassment.
