I feel these two headlines should be shown together more

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

The new EHRC guidance is junk law as bad as the Cass Review was junk science. Both are a triumph of professional and persistent lobbyist marketing over substance.

I've said it before but we need to somehow restore the social cost of racism. It's always been there but it's spreading at least partly because people aren't made to feel ashamed of it any more.

All the big brains, there. Big. Huge.

Farage plans to ditch workers’ rights, cut the NMW, scrap the Equality Act, legalise discrimination, take us out of the ECHR and have a deregulation bonanza to remove our protections and make it easier to exploit and endanger us… for profit. He couldn’t give a shit about working people.

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.

38y later, Sir Keir Stormfront & his guy-liner doppelgänger, have gone further right than Thatcher by persecuting trans ppl, & introducing their own trans-specific version of Section 28, in UK schools. What a time to be alive.

Another day, another Reform candidate being a vile misogynist and attacking women’s healthcare. And useful idiots are too busy trying to ban trans people from bathrooms and parkrun. Cis boys can rape girls with no consequences in the uk but it’s all about bathrooms 🙄 observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

I am so angry about the ‘Trans Panic’ vilifying a vulnerable community because of what? Some bigotted people being scared of difference and spreading lies for their own gratification. Do you know what these people dont spend their energy on? Challenging CIS male violence against women.

Fellas, if your car or motorbike makes a sound so loud it’s like a spaceship taking off, then you are confessing to the world that you’ve got a dick the size of a pip Now, be off with you!

You can set your watch by this stuff.

What's so tedious about Britain's political class is how they suddenly wake up and find true executive purpose and vigour when it comes to fighting each other for their own personal self-interest. The career mediocritocrat's eternal comfort zone. So much easier than governing, I guess...

A little perspective. Which you won’t get from the media. Note that only England had local elections: Scotland & Wales had full parliamentary elections. #UK #England #Localelections

Keep calm and remember Reform only control 14 councils in the UK out of over 200+, despite the right wing medias insistence this is not going make them the next government, The Greens still more then doubled their vote and have gained a Mayor

On May Day and every day, we stand with the workers.

Just like Howard Zinn, we can often see with our own eyes that much of the propaganda is indeed just propaganda.

After reading this newest essay of mine, one of my readers said via email, "This is probably the best article I've ever read advocating for UBI. And one of the best you've ever written." If you haven't read it yet, please do. Maybe you will feel the same way. 🎲 www.scottsantens.com/the-angine-d...

We don’t do political stories, but the answer to this is “you got fined for driving in a bus lane because you drove in a bus lane”.

We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.

Men, We Need to Talk About "Rape Academy" open.substack.com/pub/qasimras...

A (quite personal) essay from me about reclaiming rewilding in Wales, out in @inkcapjournal.bsky.social today. I was born, raised and still live in rural Wales. My ancestral farmhouse is a ruin surrounded by conifer trees. I understand the fears. But it's the loss of nature I fear far more.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Mamdani: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich 
Well, today we're taxing the rich...

New rule: newspapers who encourage their readers to buy a second home in the countryside that sits empty eight months of the year aren't allowed to blame the housing crisis on immigrants

It’s that time of year - folks asking us about #bumblebees - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain. Please #repost! Every queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist and produce new queen #bees for next year! So important to #share! 1/9 #nature #caring

Please remember that dandelions are not truly weeds. They are the bees first meal in the spring. Grow and protect the dandelions, save the bees and you save the world. ✌🏻🥰

Triumph of the Shill

Book 15 in the Merrily Watkins series. I believe Phil Rickman is very underrated, his plots are believable and the supernatural elements subtly played. Merrily Watkins is a Deliverance Consultant (Exorcist) for the Church of England.

Amazon are partnering with Comic Relief to sell their red noses. Last year Comic Relief raised £34 million which is how much Jeff Bezos makes in six hours. Dig deep everyone.

Since Comic Relief started in 1985, child poverty has increased from 20% to 30%. We don't need charity, we need system change.

Trans people have always existed. Trans people will always exist. Trans people just want to exist in peace. The existence of trans people has ZERO impact on your life. Trans people are not responsible for any of your problems. Transphobia is a cancer of the mind.

You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.

I kind of wish that the world wasn't divided into those of us who would be embarrassed to debase ourselves in public and those who really, really aren't. I feel like 20 years ago, even knowing a political figure recorded greetings for money would be enough to end their political aspirations

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

Seems like we could solve a lot of the world’s problems if we just dropped 30 or so specific dudes into a volcano.

Nature belongs in Wales 🦫 It’s part of our language, our heritage and our culture. Yet our nation is one of the most nature-depleted in the world. Rewilding can change that. Sign up to our newsletter to join the movement and help us bring Cymru back to its trees – link in our bio. #Nature #Wales

A compromise we can all get behind surely

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission🤦‍♂️ thesecretbarrister.com/2026/03/07/k...

@michaelspicer.bsky.social has a brilliant take on this type of programme: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wjnm...

On International Women’s Day, we reflect on the importance of solidarity between women🩷 For over a decade, the conversation around trans rights has been used to divide women who would otherwise stand together. This weakens our ability to challenge the real sources of inequality, misogyny & violence
