Jonn is right here. Part of life as a regular traveller on the line is telling tourists which side the sea will be on.

E Tū E Kī: They Don’t Speak for Us - Block the Definition of Woman Bill
The Government is progressing a Bill through Parliament that aims to limit the rights of transgender, non-binary, and intersex New Zealanders in the name of cis women, by defining “man” and “woman” (a...

Look I know I am not saying anything new here but I am *raging* that a bunch of self-proclaimed 'feminists' are in fact doing the work of patriarchy by trying to force us all back to a place where women must conform to a narrow set of stereotyped standards. FUCK OFF. I LIVED THROUGH THE '90S.
A reminder that cis women can sign the @nionwomen.bsky.social pledge to show they stand with our trans sisters and brothers here in the UK.
Ask yourself, vegans: Could you get through a whole day without eating really horrible processed meat? I mean, really?
I have one answer.
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
This piece covers a lot of the work @caelan.bsky.social did with the chat logs months ago: so much so that I checked at the end for an acknowledgement!

This was posted today by the Ukrainian publishers of Bunny Vs Monkey, Dogman, and many others. Just heartbreaking.
This is not just in the NHS. It’s lone social care workers going to people’s homes to help them remain independent and getting racially abused for trying to do their job.
And people are free to die of racism if it suits them. Medical workers are dealing with enough shit as is. It’s not their job to have to be uncomfortable in their own skin just because some white people have never grown up
Non-white people have been called monkeys by the white people they’re trying to help, and this society must somehow figure out a way to understand that the problem in this situation is white people
Selective time travel is one of the most interesting aspects of SF narratives around time. A lot of shows will talk about “fixed points” in time, essentially to prevent the characters from strategically or logistically deploying time travel to dismantle the crisis the story is about.
The text of Labyrinth is clear that he is being forced to follow rules due to her invocation. “I do it all for you, Sarah.” There’s bits where Bowie plays it like he’s bored of the whole deal. He’s a Villain, not a villain.
Lots of arguments for Magneto, Ozymandias and Killmonger, but my money’s always on Darth Revan. I will also argue that Jareth the Goblin King was neither right nor wrong but behaving exactly the way that an ancient fey acts when some dipshit teenager invokes him to steal her brother.

Great thread. There’s an informal kickabout in our local park which started as 2 kids and their dad this spring and is now about 16 kids of all ages. Every evening. Bikes for goalposts, etc I’m waiting for our local miseryguts to complain. We asked kids and teens to give up so much. Let ‘em play.
Yes lockdown was really tough for kids. Lots of those kids are teenagers now so maybe as a thank you our establishments could stop deliberately making even more things worse for them due to a weird systemic hatred of our own youth
Facebook* is constantly reminding me it is 11 years since this silly muppet of a cat arrived in our house. *I have to use it for work.
This could not miss the point by a wider margin. Working class and vulnerable kids will never have the life they should have until we stop acting as if it's OK that poverty predominates in a rich country. No child should grow up in poverty. Covid school closures aren't the problem.
There are working class and vulnerable kids who will never have the life they should have had because of school closures. Let’s address that too, shall we?
Me and @markclapham.bsky.social have been 'curating' our collections (i.e. getting rid of bits that are rubbish) but I *must* know local #DoctorWho fans in need of MOAR STUFF. Especially up Brizzol way?
I know I have quite a small reach on here but is there anyone on here who is a Doctor Who fan based in the South West? I have a lot of old stuff from my childhood and I’m looking to downsize, would like to pass as much of it onto a loving home if possible

Still annoyed by that World Cup halftime “show”? Here’s what else you could have done live in the space of a football pitch and in five minutes.
Five minutes of utter joy: hundreds in central Birmingham singing and dancing their hearts out to ELO's Mr Blue Sky. They performed it live on TV, part of the handover ceremony to the city for the last Commonwealth Games. As they say on Insta, watch to the end. #brum www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU_x...
Another great piece of reporting from the Sheffield Tribune.
The Peak District is burning — and where there’s fire, there’s smoke. Given Sheffield’s proximity to the park, it feels inevitable that, if more frequent and severe fires keep happening on the moors, they are going to have an increasing effect on us. The question is, can we do anything about it?
Wasn’t expecting UEFA to bring the Marxism to the chat, tbh.
Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”

Just got my combined unread emails across three inboxes down from 366 to 32. Unfortunately, those 32 need to actually be dealt with. I did at least unsub from several newsletters I've not even opened in months.
