Another little visitor

I so much want to reply to @clairewillett.bsky.social 's thread on Granada Holmes because I adore Jeremy Brett, bisexual icon, as Holmes and he was so dedicated to the part. He fought to make sure the episodes were true to canon.

The week just started, and we already need a timeline cleanse.... A #Roman pot with ears and a funny little face (it looks like Shaun the Sheep). Found in a burial in the necropolis of Giubiasco, Switzerland 2nd century AD. 📷 Schweizerisches Nationalmuseum #archaeology 🏺

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

Krishnan Guru Murthy, "Isn't it a bit insulting to say to an Indian doctor who is working 60-70 hours a week that in order to get settled status he's got to volunteer?" Rachel Reeves, "We want people to contribute if they come to our country" Labour have gone utterly bonkers

The UK is the only country in the OECD to want to mandate a bathroom bill, and social segregation. It's an appalling abuse of power, from a country that once had pride in its humanity and human rights progress.

I find this quote from Battlestar Galactica shockingly relevant here

The right is now just flat-out admitting that Trump is revenge coz they felt frightened when they had a black president. Fucking weird bunch of losers.

The incompetence is staggering.

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

Hey so... did you know that the Mormon Church filed an amicus curiae brief on the 19th of September? Me either... www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24... In short, "Giving trans people rights hurts us because it ruins our religious freedom to be bigots!"

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

We worry about Very Online Kids much more than their Very Online Parents, and I'm not sure that's wise

Fuck me a Christmas advert. No. Absolutely not.

*raises hand* disabled Native trans professor who was a regional "DEI" expert for this entire region of the nation i was eventually fired for reporting the California State University, Chico chief of police for stalking my then 5yo and 7yo children

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents. I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights. sianberry.org.uk/publications/l…

He might be onto something 😂

When seeking healthcare (whether for general healthcare or transition-related care), we know that most trans people in the UK don't experience the high standards of care they ought to be able to expect from healthcare professionals.

I see someone has clearly sat down the Cabinet and given them a bollocking about some of the nonsense they'd be saying about ID cards. Yesterday we were told it would have to be on mobiles, now we're told that's definitely not the case and it's not something people will need to show for most things

This is Annie. She is a dental therapy dog. Her job is to help patients experiencing anxiety by providing emotional support. While dentists go through years of schooling to treat patients Annie is able to lower their blood pressure and reduce anxiety just by being there. 14/10 (TT: funny.bunny9215)

fun trivia! in the second French revolution, sensible liberal men listened to this complaint, and rather than kill conservatives in power reached out to them as partners in a new and more equal form of governance! the conservatives said "hey thanks for that" and immediately killed the lot of them

The Evil Bread

Don’t let the internet fool you. I was at a protest for trans kids yesterday an HOUR south of Seattle, and it was HUGE. And there was a cacophony of drivers beeping in support. I could not believe it. Because I spend too much online and figured it’s a lost cause.

*trans girl*: "so not only is a concept of gender as complex and diverse important, at a young age this can help develop theory of mind earlier and with increased empathy. The world would be a kinder place if we simply accepted that people are who they say they are." *cis person*: "as a Hufflepuff

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

Reminder: THE INTERNET IS A PALANTIR. DO NOT BE DENETHOR.

Never forget Dawn Foster:

No, supporting trans rights doesn’t cost elections! “43 percent of voters were more likely to vote for a candidate who stands up for transgender people. Just 21 percent of voters would be less likely to support a candidate who supports trans rights.”

'Rapture' comes from the Latin 'rapere' meaning "to seize and carry off." 'Raptor' also comes from 'rapere.' We hope neither carries you off today.

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

So I have too many Tarot decks, particularly since any readoi do for myself scares the bejeebus out of me. So I decided a couple weeks ago that one daily card would be not-scary, ptc if I was just asking 'what might be a useful thing to think about today?' So I have been using the Horror Tarot,
