They are also the same people who won’t #CleantheAir and told us to accept Covid infections. It’s an antiscience movement. They don’t want to spend, that’s the truth. They are prioritising profits over our children’s futures.
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 2d agoThe same people who have been telling us "we can't stop climate change, instead we must adapt" have been hammering our capacity to adapt, through their promotion of austerity. What they're really saying is "keep burning fossil fuels for the sake of our donors". www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

The neuro pain I've experienced, was the worst I'd ever had. Worse than a scope without sedation, plus deliberating migraine, at the same time.TAC/cluster headache sounds way, way worse. I've signed.

If you have ever seen (film of) anyone in the throes of cluster headache you will want to sign this petition. People have been known to become suicidal, so severe is the pain.

as noted yesterday, Trump has now come around to treating an Iranian toll system covering the Strait of Hormuz as a given. Hard to overstate the level of strategic failure. US started the war purely as a war of choice and ends up dramatically empowering Iran and given the Iranian govt big wins.
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 7h agoReuters: Iran wants fees of 5%-7% of the price of cargo from ships using the strait; Oman wants 3%. "Making fees voluntary, at least nominally, could be a way out of the impasse, although an implied threat of Iranian attacks could mean shippers would be unlikely to risk transit without paying."

Petition: Conduct review into NHS recognition, diagnosis & treatment of cluster headaches
Cluster headaches are among the most severe pain conditions but are often misdiagnosed and under-treated in the NHS. We feel the name fails to reflect their extreme, disabling nature, reducing urgency...

The guidance: If you see a trans person you should discriminate, harass or exclude them but use a kind tone if you can. We pinky swear that no one will call you transphobic and if you ignore our advice we'll sue you** ** This isn't legal advice and may well be illegal we couldn't possibly say.
Agreed to all of this, the voices, the primacy of messaging and the volume!
Melissa Harker@melissa.green · 7h agoI do agree that the Comms team needs more trans voices. We need the Greens to be more vocal on the EHRC.
No one should face exclusion or discrimination because of who they are. The Green Party stands in solidarity with the trans community and will keep fighting for equality that includes everyone.
Do we know how hard we have to abuse animals to force them to have children, in order we steal their flesh, secretions and other body parts? Bodily autonomy as a moral consideration is part of an ecological and feminist tradition, which can also be encompassed by veganism and sentientism.

High-stakes exams are not a fair way of evaluating young people's ability. One bad day, an illness, or challenges beyond their control can ruin a year of work. Scottish Greens want to build a fairer, more modern system built around continuous assessment.
