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

My pop culture references are older than people who are whole ass adults

there are two kinds of people: either you read "Their Eyes Were Watching God" in high school and it lodged into your brain forever, not just because it has the best opening paragraph in the history of literature but because Tea Cake's death from rabies is so FUCKING horrifying, or you did not

This is getting buried in local newspapers and ITV welsh news (good on them) here so please do reshare the fuck out of this story of a corrupt little bastard getting his comeuppance won't you and don't forget to mention his mate Nigel - Diolch pawb.

Finally watched Thunderbolts and it was not at all what I expected (in a mostly good way) and my undying love and pining for Florence Pugh as Yelena burns bright as as flame.

Thinking about what it means if birthright citizenship gets stripped from us Puerto Ricans 🤔 like our status wasn't complicated enough

As I get older the most unrealistic thing I see on tv is people over the age of 50 making dinner plans for 8 pm.

book tower photoshoot with hercule purrot he thinks you need Awakened for spooky season (but not these copies: these are his copies)

Seconded.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

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…

Tony Harrison RIP I taught Long Distance, his beautiful & honest poem about bereavement to my students for decades. Eventually, it provided consolation to me as well.

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isn’t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.

Mordor on the Orient Express

It’s almost the end of sea otters awareness week! We should protect those cuties at all costs 🫡🦦

Hey Bluepals. Today I launched a Crowdfunder with the amazing @gracequantock.bsky.social The aim is to get Grace's book "Living Well with Chronic Illness" into health centres across the UK. Please share / support this. I'd really appreciate this. Ta. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/86e1e73e29...

Science Teachers & Communicators! “Why Don’t Things Fall Up?“ has been noted by many as being *exemplary* in its explanations of science, and is being recommended by teacher trainers around the country to new teachers. Don’t take my word for it, read the reviews! Only 99p on Kindle til Wednesday

An absolutely crucial point here (and a brilliant article). I remember a debate years ago at my union conference about expanding the scope of the Equality Act 2010, and my branch sec explaining to me "we don't want it opened during this government--they'll gut it." It's all about context.

Truly, the most unexpected book series I love 🥹💖

The Tainted Cup by @robertjbennett.bsky.social!

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

This petition gained a million signatures yesterday. If we can keep up that growth it will terrify people at the Labour conference. #PapersPlease petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

FUCK OFF WORDLE THAT IS NOT A PLAYABLE WORD

Oh my god I felt this in my bones 😂😂😂 Second sculpture in the series would be a stapler (when the staple folds and gets wedged in the opening)

Can you help Soad today? She needs food and shelter and clothes for her and her son Omar. 💔

Labour's whole pitch at the moment is "we have to attack minorities and marginalised groups, and reduce rights, to stop Reform attacking minorities and marginalised groups, and reducing rights". People don't tend to vote based on negatives, and that's all Starmer is offering most voters. #r4today

Well don't I feel stupid

I absolutely _adored_ this novel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kier Starmer effectively endorses Reform, telling UK voters you are justified in voting for a far-right anti-immigration party. 🫩

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways. Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them

In this house we're still ranting about it (Zoe manages, as ever, to put it coherently)

Primary Teachers! If you’re looking for an author visit which is truly cross-curricular and excellent value for money, ask me about my talks on “How to Find a Rainbow” (storytelling / the science of light) and “About Time” (non-fiction writing / history and science of time-keeping). More info here

Just a reminder, #TheHateUGive was the overall Waterstones Children’s Book Prize winner in 2018, as well as the winner of a slew of awards in the US and an NYT bestseller. It is exactly the kind of book that gets teenagers reading. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

@mariannedoherty.bsky.social !

I see a lot of artists on here questioning whether they should be promoting their work in the current political climate. The answer is always yes. ART: books, music, film, painting, sculpture - all of it - is the most accessible way to communicate complex topics, ideologies and emotions.

The community note has it right.

BOOK COVER ARTISTS QRP with your book covers #BookCovers

If someone could do this for 1980s Spiegel catalogues (esp the Christmas ones), I'd be SO HAPPY
