We will not comply with the EHRC 'guidance', and neither should you. Take action for trans liberation.

haven't slept properly in days, executive functioning seriously breaking down. then on top of it all the teenager had their bike stolen from their back garden today which is a really, really shitty thing and one that i'm going to have to fix and i just want to sleep

@justhere4coffee.bsky.social @tef.bsky.social @eclectech.uk @edmorrish.com @rathergood.bsky.social @chthonicionic.bsky.social i feel that if anyone can properly address this imbalance, it's us

the real issue with the internet in 2026 is nobody talks about Domo-kun anymore.

The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.

i endorse this message (given that the reposted picture doesn't have alt text, it's an illustration of a pink haired, woman-like figure sitting on the ground, surrounded by mushrooms, leaves and flowers, her legs slowly morph into the ground)

There will not be trials. There never are. The question becomes: what are we going to do instead of legal trials? What are we going to leave our children and grandchildren with?

I want trials for every last one of these mother fuckers.

Ah, what Dr. Jeroen has missed is that it is *supposed* to be pronounced THDPSSSSPS. In Nolan's version there is an added sub-plot where the quest also involves Odysseus trying to find his cat who is lost somewhere on his ship.

I am once again begging Hollywood to stop using the Greek alphabet for an Ancient World movie, if they can't afford to even throw a couple of quid at anyone with an inkling of the language. Unless they really think audiences are dying to see THS THDPSSSSPS

we've had a national post service since the victorian era, and each monarch has had their initials on the postboxes placed during their reign, even edward 8th had some. given the decline in physical post, will charles be the first to not get any postboxes?

Never interrupt your enemy when they’re launching themselves into a 6 week long argument with a bin.

i mean this in all seriousness, there should be prosecutions for it being this hot. it was caused by actual people who made actual decisions and it should be criminal that they did so

@petegreensolo.com hey, did you know you're mentioned on wikipedia? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture...

got my first geocache posted today and i am so proud

@vaginamuseum.bsky.social have you considered adding yourselves to atlas obscura? (www.atlasobscura.com) you're exactly the kind of place that would fit in well there, i think

london is hot and sweaty and exhausting, but i have seen many things i've wanted to go see for years, and tomorrow it's even going to be quite cool! (only 27 degrees instead of 35, hey, i need every little win when it comes to these temperatures)

love to have to be in london when the weather's predicted to be 33 degrees. just *chef's kiss* to this whole debacle

please send me your recommendations for unusual, weird, quirky, fun or mind-boggling things to do in london. i have to be there next week and have a lot of time to fill

london, and particularly the social history of it, is one of my special interests. i've been enthralled all day with the archives of the blog of a london tour guide, but this bit in particular, from the article about wilton's music hall (livinglondonhistory.com/wiltons-lond...) really amused me

left the house. big day

went to the shops earlier and there was a car driving round the car park with its windows down, absolutely blasting out some music. i get it, i also love music and it was a beautiful, warm day. but they were listening to "away in a manger"

first time i heard street spirit it blew my mind. i was 13 and it was the last track on a cd which came on the cover of q magazine and i had literally never heard anything like it before. the way the music seems to roll... i can't describe it or what it did to me but it was a pivotal moment

Tell me about a song that blew you away the first time you heard it, where you had to immediately drop everything to learn what it was and who it was by, bonus points if it was pre-Shazam and you had to *work* to find out. (Brought to you by a re-listen of “I’m Straight” by The Modern Lovers)

genuine easter question to anyone in the know: i was taught that jesus died on a friday and was resurrected 3 days later. 3 days after friday is monday, so why is easter celebrated on sundays?

remind me to tell you sometime about when my friend's 3 yr old put his baby sister in the tumble drier

sometimes I think we’re doing okay at parenting and sometimes the 3.5 yr old locks the 1.5 yr old in the dog crate

a lot gets made of the fact that autistic people like arranging things in straight lines. genuine question, but what are the alternatives? how are things meant to be arranged? i really don't understand what i'm missing here

the sowing/reaping meme except it's me putting in a supermarket delivery order and not adding any sweets or chocolate and then me receiving the order *sobs*

200 years ago today, Alexander Graham Bell became the first Boomer to call someone younger than them for absolutely zero functional reason at all.

life must be slightly surreal when you're famous. people you've never heard of start dreaming about you, naming their children after you or people from your films/books/songs etc. some people even only exist because of you! (eg. 2 of my friends met on a site for fans of an author and had a kid)

worms live underground where there's no sunlight so they surely have no concept of daytime or nighttime. so then it follows that a bird can get up at any time and expect to find worms to catch, as the worms won't be coming out just because the sun rose

in one of the most "me" things to ever happen, i just found a roll of selotape in bed. like, under my mattress cover. because where else would it be?
