"One of those taking legal action was Bayswater Support Group, which works with 800 parents who are wary of medical solutions for their gender-questioning children." Dunno what's worse, the weird term they use for trans or the sugar-coating of a group that supports conversion therapy.

Whimsical painted scenes from a 3,200 year-old ancient Egyptian illustrated papyrus in which animals take on human roles. A lion and gazelle play a board game (probably senet), a hippo and a canine brew beer, and a cat waits on a mouse! 📷 British Museum #Archaeology

These three whimsical painted scenes from an ancient Egyptian illustrated papyrus from Deir el-Medina, now in the collections at the British Museum, depict animals taking on human roles, some with an amusing inversion of their normal predator-prey relationship which was a common theme in ancient Egyptian satirical art. The top image shows a lion and gazelle playing a board game, probably senet. They sit on low stools, facing each other across a low table on which a board game with black playing pieces is laid out. Probably the popular ancient Egyptian board game senet. The gazelle sits on the left facing the lion. The animals sit upright, legs hanging down from the chair seat, forelegs raised, being used as arms. Each holds a game piece with their hoof and paw. The gazelle is brown with a black outline. It has black hooves, two long, black, s-shaped horns, and a black dot for its eye. It has long pointed ears at the back of its head. The lion is painted a sandy brown within a black outline. It has a dark brown shaggy mane, a black nose and eye. It’s mouth is ajar as if speaking. Lower left: A brown hippo and a black canine (likely a jackal or dog) appear to be brewing beer, working together over two large ceramic brewing jars. The hippo stands on its hind legs to the left of the brewing jar, using its front legs as arms which are plunged into the top of the pot. The canine stands on its hindlegs to the right of the pot, holding a bowl in its front paw. Lower right: A grey mouse sits on a black chair on left of the scene facing a grey tabby cat which appears to be its servant.

First time visiting the Yorkshire Wildlife Park outside of Doncaster. Really large space, all natural enclosures, good variety of animals (if you can find them). Camera with optical lens required. Here are monkeys. More in replies.

Microsoft is planning to build three AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Stop the Microsoft AI megasite in Leeds!

Microsoft wants to build three huge AI data centres at Skelton Grange. It would drain the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop it - add your name to the petition.

Dook! Hi everyone, I'm excited to introduce myself. I'm Fez the Ferret and I'm the representative for Mad Fur It, the UK's newest furry event. I've been styled by the wonderful @beffumsartworks.com and I think she made me look fantastic. Hope to see you all in early 2027 in Manchester. #MadFi
