Deeply disappointed to hear that the BBC has pushed out one of the most brilliant presenters in all of science communication for speaking with integrity and honor in support of human rights and dignity.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

This is the saddest day of my professional life. Today is not only the final recording of the latest series of The Infinite Monkey Cage, it is my last ever Monkey Cage. I never thought that I would have to leave the show. I always imagined going on until | dropped dead under the studio lights due to a brain aneurysm caused by my final attempt to understand notions of quantum gravity or the shock of being told about fly maggot infestations in the sacks of macaque monkeys. I resigned in September, after sixteen years of dedication to the show, A show that I named and helped develop over all those years. Unfortunately, my opinions outside the BBC have been considered problematic for sometime, whether it has been voicing support for the trans community, criticism of Donald Trump, numerous other outlandish opinions, including once gently criticising Stephen Fry. These things were considered to conflict with being a freelance BBC science presenter

We need to starve the Capitalists. Don't buy anything from major retailers this year if you can avoid it, especially Amazon *spit*. Buy less, & buy independent. Local downtown shops, individuals selling things they desiged & made themselves. Never say you bought "From Etsy"; name the seller.

This is actually a great idea for multiple reasons. AWS has become too important to the structure of the web itself to persist as a private entity.

This is what I do. Except when I don’t do it and have to go back and forth between where I realized I needed the thing and the room where I think the thing is. 🙄

oh I have add life hack for this exact scenario: you just need to repeat the thing you're looking for as you move from room to room. As soon as you leave a room you forget what you were looking for. So just walk through your house saying "keys keys keys keys keys keys"

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish
