The sky has gone dark. So many cats, hiding. The neighbours walk the streets in sacrifical robes. We squint carelessly at the sky. Maybe this is it? The end? Thank fuck.

Downing Street's press release for Burnham's "emergency" Cobra meeting on the drought didn't even mention climate, with the Prime Minister blaming the growing numbers of wildfires on disposable barbecues. He's since appeared on GB News this afternoon to talk about migrant camps

They've been 'winning' against the trans community so they need new victims. Some of them have become super pro-Israel, some experimenting with racism, and of course disabled people are easy targets, right?

The thing about the billionaire class and their transhumanist followers is that they never developed the capacity to feel empathy for actual human beings they've never met. And it never occurs to them that *they're* human too, and consigning 90% of humanity to the scrapheap probably includes *them*.

An uncanny storm rolls over York — A teacher encounters a man who should not exist. A reporter’s dog sniffs out the first in a series of bodies, each marked by a bizarre death. The forensic results make no sense. And somewhere, a poem written over a thousand years ago waits for its final line.

This is my whole philosophy. Perhaps the wisest advice ever given via celluloid. Now, someone tell the bigots.

If you don't have proper eclipse glasses / filters, try a pinhole camera ... When the sun is whole, images will be circles. When partially eclipsed they will be crescents. You can use a colander or even a Ritz Biscuit. Find out more in my book "Up - a scientist's guide to the magic above us"

EHRC says 'sex questioning' will be "rare" – but evidence suggests it's increasing

The chair of the EHRC has claimed in a letter to a Labour MP that sex questioning under the updated Code of Practice will be “rare and exceptional”

If any well-meaning cis allies are wondering, better terms if you *need* to talk about a trans person's former gender identity are AFAB and AMAB - Assigned Female/Male At Birth. Not to be confused with ACAB which I'm told doesn't stand for Assigned Cop At Birth.

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE@leftistlawyer.com · yesterday

Dear cis people, Please, for the love of G-d, stop using the terms "biological male" and "biological female." They're scientifically meaningless. Sex is a bimodal cluster categorization. The brain is biological, no? There is no one factor that's universally determinative of sex and gender.

Wait, so the Prime Minister wants to send cis men to women’s prisons because the men’s prisons are overcrowded, but he wants to send trans women to men’s prisons because we are supposedly a danger to women 🤦‍♀️

Yesterday I tried the electric car club - convenient, a car was a few minutes walk from where I needed it; cheap, two and a half hours' use for what it would have cost a taxi for one ride; enjoyable, the car was smooth, nippy and fun to drive. And no need to burn petrol. I'll do that again.

The Trans+ community is under attack from false narratives in the media, politics and increasingly the courts. The evidence tells a different story - stretching back to Roman Britain.

Gender diversity in the UK can be traced back to Roman Britain, archaeology shows

The Gallae were a group of transgender priestesses in ancient Rome devoted to the goddess Kybele. Archaeology suggests they lived in Britain in 70 CE

I personally would just NOT go into business with someone who was going to put their share of the moneys toward causes I strongly disagree with, and I am a broke ass motherfucker who needs the moneys, I would rather not have the moneys than give lots of our joint moneys to Actors Against Amnesty

The actors in that shitty Harry Potter show, the thing that has the studio so worried that they're now actively releasing BTS documentaries before it even releases need to STFU about "disagreeing with Rowling's views". You can't walk your participation back. You took the money. You're in the show.
