Now that is a really interesting theory, and yes, that is my sense of it, and everything needs gender analysis

Both of my daughters, aged 18 and 19, are in wheelchairs (for totally different reasons). We have one old wheelchair they share. Essentially, society is set up so they shouldn't exist. eg. just yesterday, Adi's orthodontist said he won't treat her anymore because of lack of access to his office.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix. Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Passengers on a high-speed train between Poland's two largest cities were taken by surprise when a sheep wearing a nappy began wandering through the carriages.

My daughter has been referred to a large number of specialists recently. In the referrals that mentioned that she is transgender, they were all declined. I requested that be removed and re-referrals done, and they are now being accepted. Imagine how bad things are going to be, basically eugenics.

Instagram is appropriately celebrating The Mummy 4

It's sticking hot, the beach was packed (no wheelchair access 😞), and one of the pōhutukawas on my street is flowering. If it was 7 December, I would say it's going to be a big summer, but 7 November? 🥵

Did women ruin the workplace?

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

could you imagine planning and executing a Louvre caper only to have some asshole in the paper describe you as a “minor” social media star

What historians see when people claim AI is solving mysteries that have baffled historians for years.

if you can't savor the villains losing you've lost the spark of beauty and ingenuity that makes life worth living

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

It's my birthday. It's boiling hot. It's not ever supposed to be hot on my birthday wth

People wonder how Trump happened, but it's shit like this. America has no left-wing parties. Democrats are centrists at best. You hear garbage about socialism, marxism, communism, blah, blah, but has any American alive today even had a sniff of actual left-wing politics in their lives?

Remember that MMR can have a reaction, so be prepared to wait a bit after the jab, set aside a little extra time as a precaution

Tomorrow is the Fifth of November – but let’s forget Guy Fawkes and his actions against an arrogant Protestant king and instead look to our own history: the unlawful attack on Parihaka and, by extension, Māori sovereignty. 🧵 #kikorangi

The head of security at the Louvre

First they came for the proofreaders and I did not spaek out...

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Barely recognisable today after having the surgery I have been waiting to have for three years. I had to check out early so I can get back to managing my daughter's pain, but it's done! No more tumour!

Saw a news report yesterday about children as young as 9 being given weight loss jabs on the NHS, and I think it shows just how utterly bullshit the “lack of research into long term impacts” excuse for banning puberty blockers for trans kids really was. It’s purely ideological.

This is how I’m gonna look every time someone hits the dislike button on one of my posts

Yes, my Christmas tree is up

It's 1 November, so here we go. For the record, I want my daughter Adi's spine to be saved and Ali to get a new heart, and the leaders of this country to be destroyed, so I actually want quite a lot m.youtube.com/watch?v=yXQV...

Well well well. A link between vaccines and autism does exist, but it is the opposite of what the brain worm guy wants it to be. Covid vax reduces risk of Covid, which reduces risk of autism

This episode of the MERL's podcast is amazing. It made me want to read @timjerrome.bsky.social 's book but I don't think it's written yet. And they've got someone on talking about folklore tomorrow for Halloween.

7.00-7.30am is my own litle portion of the day, usually spent in the garden or sipping coffee in my favourite chair. Now we are out of the hospital, and my daughter is sleeping, I got my half hour back and didn't realise how much I was missing it.

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

This was painted in the 1420/1430s in a workshop in Bruges. The level of detail was very much unmatched and Jan van Eyck truly was one of the greatest painters ever.

And repeat forever

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Yet again i want to remind everyone that Bill Gates and several other billionaires have invested in mining projects in Greenland that are only accessible because of melted land and sea ice, he and other billionaires are essentially shorting the planet

I, too, am doing this stunning and brave challenge right now, except my stretch without AI is up to the length of my entire life because screw that

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Took my little brother to Glastonbury. He didn't tell me/my parents it was mock GCSE exams week. School tried to suspend him. My mum argued it was a more cultural experience than the carting event they'd let his classmate attend the same week. Suspension cancelled. The classmate was Lewis Hamilton

Pizza two days in a row can't hurt

My daughter's Adi's hospital roommate, who was a drunk middle-aged woman who was admitted last night with her horny girlfriend, just got discharged and went home WITH HER HUSBAND who had just arrived back in Auckland. I've only ever stayed in private cardiac rooms with Ali, so this trip is a TRIP

Spoke too soon. Lorraine has been moved, and a pair of horny, drunk, middle-aged lesbians, with zero boundaries have moved in.

Adi's roommate in hospital today is a 90-year-old woman. She has a husband who dotes on her, and friends and family calling all day long to speak with her. This girl has really lived a life.

A reminder: Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can happen to anyone. Disability can hap—

What's it like inside your head?

My daughter is in the hospital again, in extreme pain, paralysed, unable to eat or drink, struggling to breathe, and there are no doctors, and the only nurse is on a break. What a joke.
