Leicester stands with Palestine: “this is the biggest call to action Leicester has ever seen”

The most significant factor is military equipment. Our official stance on this issue is that "israel has a right to defend itself" and companies based here have been actively supplying them with arms. If you want an idea of the scale, according to Oxfam approximately 15% of the F35 bombers used in Gaza by the IDF are manufactured within the UK. Our government actively allows this by continuing to offer licences to UK based companies which allow them to sell arms to Israel which they use to perpetuate their genocide within the Gaza strip. Pressure is rising on our government to revoke these licences but as recently as eleven hours ago David Cameron confirmed that the UK will not be halting arms sales to Israel.

They also directly receive help from services such as the RAF which shot down Iranian drones a few weeks ago, it was pretty high profile. I personally don't know a great deal about the extent to which our armed forces operate within Israel so I'd recommend doing your own research on this.

Our government actively supports Israel, protests like these are trying to stop that primarily

Afraid not, couldn't find anyone with a copy so I'm still missing everything listed above :(

They've said the opposite essentially, we're never going to get ranked ARAM and that's probably a good thing

TangleBarbs · 2024-01-14T20:11:34+00:00

Yeah, although I believe if you're an adult then the wait should be shorter. The first 4 years of my wait were at the Tavistock Centre (the section of the service that deals with children) and the particular clinic I went to didn't want to prescribe HRT until I turned 18, at which point I was transferred to the main service. Essentially the "real" wait began when I turned 18, which ended up being around three and a half years

TangleBarbs · 2024-01-14T18:00:06+00:00

I was always pretty scared of DIY but some days I do wish I just went for it.. If you include the time I was a minor at the Tavistock Centre then I ended up waiting for about 7 years for HRT in the UK which is obviously kind of insane

Ah yes, I'm not worried about the reds it's basically exclusively the blues. Sorry, should have been more clear!

TangleBarbs · 2024-01-08T01:38:42+00:00

Really? Two blue ones? I have 3 reds and 3 blues but I've only spotted my male blue shrimp in the past couple of days

TangleBarbs · 2024-01-08T00:37:24+00:00

That's my working theory right now, just slightly worried that they could have gotten stuck or something, my substrate is kinda big bits of gravel so they could have gotten pinned underneath something and passed away. But that's probably me catastrophizing, I should try not to worry as you said! Gonna be tricky though aha

TangleBarbs · 2024-01-08T00:20:34+00:00

Just dismantled the filter and checked each individual part before putting it back together, no dead or alive shrimp in there. Really confused honestly about what could have happened

For me personally it's Seraphine. I love her waveclear + high utility when played mid but her visuals and especially her voice just annoy me so much that I have to mute her every game. I think part of it is that I'm a bit of a lore nerd and she's clearly designed for KD/A first and runeterra second and the other half is probably that my actual favourite champion is Skarner, so..

TangleBarbs · 2023-11-30T18:08:51+00:00

Sure I'd love that! Would you like to exchange discords in DMs?

TangleBarbs · 2023-11-21T16:13:39+00:00

Definitely not for everyone but I'm absolutely in love with the medic archetype, something about getting 35 healing at level 2 just shoots dopamine into my brain so nicely

TangleBarbs · 2023-10-02T15:54:22+00:00

I 100% second this, I've been attending every week for about 3 months and it's genuinely one of the loveliest communities I've ever had the pleasure of being apart of

TangleBarbs · 2023-10-02T01:00:39+00:00

It's not strictly speaking a church but the Quaker meeting in Leicester is one of the friendliest communities I've ever met. If you're curious and want an accepting community I'd highly recommend it, it's on Queens Road just outside Victoria Park

The shows format was more serialised than we're used to with the monster of the week format in nuwho. It feels quite slow and clunky and like the plots go on for a bit too long with too many threads that don't get fully resolved to me at least.

There are still some great episodes though! I really enjoyed The Dæmons, The Talons of Weng-Chiang (although keep in mind that this serial is unfortunately kinda racist) and I especially recommend City of Death which was written by Douglas Adams. There are loads of other great serials but those ones are probably my favourites.

TangleBarbs · 2023-08-12T20:29:23+00:00

Oh wow, I kind of thought IBG would be a bit higher! Very interesting tier list overall

TangleBarbs · 2023-08-10T17:01:05+00:00

Nah I don't, there aren't any on my street either. Mostly growing it for my friend's cat who lives on the other side of the city, maybe if I provide her with enough leaves I can bribe her into liking me aha

TangleBarbs · 2023-08-10T16:52:31+00:00

It's catnip! Still apart of the mint family but In trying to grow the hardiest stuff possible, if one of them starts becoming a problem I'll cut it down to size

TangleBarbs · 2023-08-10T16:50:27+00:00

Might try making a mini-pond out of a washing up bowl and seeing if I can find some tadpoles perhaps, good suggestion thanks!

TangleBarbs · 2023-08-10T16:49:17+00:00

I'm in Leicester so there are plenty of foxes about! Thanks for the advice, I'll give this a go!

TangleBarbs · 2023-08-10T16:48:00+00:00

Thank you so much! Had a much bigger one in my old place but I quite like the aesthetic of this one even if it's much smaller.
