Here's a comparison of the "head and beak" section of the first and second filming miniatures of the Romulan warbird, here seen in #StarTrekTNGs "Contagion"⬅️ and "Redemption II"➡️. As can be seen, the 2nd model has more and more pronounced lights in the head.

I'll be drawing birds for donations again this year in addition to my weekly running miles! Details on how to donate for bird illustrations will come later this month. Looking forward to doing this again with you all, the kids need the help more than ever!
Wanna help? Become a Waymaker! We're running, walking, cycling 20,000 miles in September to raise money to get immigrant kids out of detention and back with family. Someone who kayaks to work is dedicating his miles to Waymakers! A salsa dance class is counting steps! It all counts! #BeAWaymaker

Our final episode, its been one heck of a ride. ^K veritypodcast.wordpress.com/2026/08/05/o...
One Last Time With Feelings
Verity! began as six women talking about Doctor Who almost fourteen years ago.* A lot has changed for us and the show and it’s been a wonderful journey, but this will be our last episode (our…

I am at the Eisteddfod and I am pleased to report that all the toilets are gender neutral.

I had totally missed this bit of set dressing from #StrangeNewWorlds season 1 (?) Captain April with a younger Pike in very retro uniforms.
Eldest asked if she could organise her mum's Steam games into folders. For fun. I'm just saying the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
Really weird to me how incredibly rich white men get to say stuff like "in three to four years we'll be achieving nuclear fusion from honey" and the stock markets go "wow, sounds great bro!" and the news just reports it with maybe a paragraph at the end of "critics say this is unlikely".
These messages are from UK women who know that behind every headline is a human being who deserves kindness, dignity and joy. We hope these words bring even a small moment of comfort to trans+ people in the UK today. 💗 #WithTheT #NotInOurName
One seriously old sock ~ child’s split-toe left-foot sock, multi-striped with plant-based pigments, 1,700 years old, from ancient city of Antinoupolis, Egypt. (The right-foot one hasn’t been found, so maybe check your sock drawer) www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o...
Croydon-based Herne Books have published Where We Stand, Where We Fall: The Politics of Doctor Who by award-winning author Lizbeth Myles – and another title exploring the show’s themes is on the way.
Herne Books offer new Doctor Who works exploring show’s many themes
Two new Who titles probe show’s many themes

Do try to remember that the EHRC guidance only affects service providers and not employment, so if you work somewhere where there are toilets or changing rooms for employees that aren’t open to the public then your employers are wrong if they try to stop you from using facilities for your gender
I don't want to read any more but I'm picturing the Concorde nosecone raising into position.
BBC Breakfast covering the upcoming partial eclipse as if hearing of the concept of eclipses for the first time. I think the presenter may start worshipping the moon.
I’m surprised Kemi Badenoch is so opposed to the early prisoner release scheme. It’s an excellent source of Tory candidates.
This week's #nails. A metallic bronze colour from 'Beauty Without Cruelty'. Not sure about the shade. Eldest was quite rude about it! 🤣
Cabinet card from my collection. It doesn’t really look like anyone was enjoying picture day.

A New Study from Canada Again Finds Less Than 1 Percent of Trans Youth Detransition. Out of 445 patients, only a single youth who started hormone therapy later stopped treatment due to a change in their sense of their own gender. assignedmedia.org/br... www.jahonline.org/ar...

Out of 445 patients across four gender clinics only one who started hormone therapy stopped due to a change in gender identity.

I like how #StarTrekSNW (and other new #StarTrek shows) keep the tradition alive of re-using everyday 20th/21st century objects, like the transparent garden hose used as an energy conduit/cable in "The Griffin Incident"⬆️. "Who Mourns for Adonais?"⬇️ also features such 20th century circuits + cables.
It's late so I'll do a proper post tomorrow and splash it about everywhere, but: The nonbinary names survey results are up! gendercensus.tumblr.com/post/8238848...
2026 nonbinary name survey: results
While the big annual survey continues (until 13th August), I'm here to give you the results of the nonbinary name survey! This is on the blog because it's technically a side survey for fun. The survey...
