Book tour begins! Or as Oscar Wilde could have said - I never travel without Invisible Rainbows. One should always have something sensational to read in the train!

It’s not true anyway. He has gone into politics because of his own monstrous, insatiable need for attention and validation. A black hole that can never be filled. He’s just taken an opportunity along the way to lash out at someone who refused to validate him.

Bold of you to assume there is anyone except old and tired (it me) social media users on this app The kids do NOT play on here

THERE ARE NO TRANSPHOBES WITH HONOR. NO TRANSPHOBE WILL SEE THE GATES OF STO’VO’KOR.

I’m not going to call people out. But if you are going to share this excellent pride flag to your community, please credit Rachel Lense who is the creator and had to put up with a lot of online shit because of it. When you don’t give credit you tell your community it’s also ok not to do so.

Astronomer Frank Kameny earned his PhD at Harvard in 1956 after studying under Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin. A year later, he was fired by the US government for being gay during the Lavender Scare. He fought back & became a major LGBTQ+ rights activist. https://bit.ly/4jNmMqR #FrankKameny #PrideInSTEM

As we commemorate the start of Pride Month, let’s continue to confront the mass political/media attacks on trans existence both in the UK and abroad. Whether couched in the language of “gender ideology” or “protecting women,” governments in so-called “progressive” countries are eroding trans lives.

When you view everything through the lens of content and profit, you get this. Universities don't exist to be "economic power houses" and delusions made up by AI aren't any kind of science, old hat or otherwise.

as part of the BBC’s on-going commitment to representing a diversity of ideas, June will be Pride & Prejudice Month

1. First off, just finished @drcarpineti.bsky.social's fantastic first book, INVISIBLE RAINBOWS, today! It's a beautifully written and explained look at our universe beyond what can be seen with the naked eye, full of interviews with exclusively queer scientists. Highly recommend.

Reminder that the Polari Prize tanked its reputation for this guy 🙃

My tank top looks like it’s about to say “Moisturise me”

"I've got friends who are gender-critical" is WILD. Because if I discover a "friend" is gender-critical, I'm not going to sigh and put up with them.

Love to live on an island where water and electricity is so expensive but the state broadcaster can use the plagiarism machine do something it never does in reality: invite a militant communist on the panel of Question Time

"Someone, somewhere, has taken the decision to defund astrophysics research in the UK, but no-one seems quite sure who that was, or why." The latest on the impact of the catastrophic funding cuts to UK astrophysics, by me, in @natastron.nature.com 👩‍🔬🧪🔭 ✒️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Well, good morning from this hardcore space dork and his to-scale husband @raidercast.bsky.social

On the topic of Q&As, you can always ask question - book related or not. Something I’m sad I lost in the bonfire of Twitter is one of the most unhinged ones I ever received yet truly showing there is no such thing as a stupid question

I was told to take pictures without making unnecessary comments.

THIS. Do I worry about the effects of social media on my 11-year-old? Obviously yes. Do I think she should be banned from it any more than young men falling into the manosphere on Reddit, middle-aged ladies being dragged into transphobia on Mumsnet, or pensioners radicalised by Facebook? 100% no.

Record May temperatures, let’s DRILL baby!

A great show with an incredible performance by Jinx 🤩

We're complaining to the Charity Commission about Sex Matters describing women who are trans using women's spaces as "deviants". The language is unacceptable (and the statement is wrong in law). We're looking for other examples of it (staff or Trustees) using inflammatory language. Share below?

I could not love @edzitron.com’s latest newsletter edition more. We should shout this from the rooftops. www.wheresyoured.at/the-revenge-...

What’s so ironic about the fear ir ‘cancel culture’ is I can’t see a purer expression of it than gender critical activism.

i love her make her president

Today is now the hottest day in May on record for both England and Wales with Kew Gardens provisionally reaching 35.1°C and Cardiff Bute Park reaching 32.9°C 🌡️

This is so stupid, so completely stupid and awful. I believe we as a society will ultimately push back against the Underpants Inspectors and reject their intrusive overreach into our bodies and our lives. But it’s just utterly miserable that it’s happening now.

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

Today has been the hottest day in May on record with Kew Gardens provisionally reaching 34.8°C - exceeding the previous highest May temperature in the UK by a full 2 degrees Celsius🌡️ This heat would be exceptional in the UK even in mid summer, let alone in May📈

Pope Leo quoting Tolkien in his encyclical on AI seems like a pointed reference for the tech oligarchs who have appropriated LOTR for their own ends.

In the midst of all the attacks on Black and LGBTQ people (especially “T” lately), I really appreciate how Dr. @drcarpineti.bsky.social and Dr. @chanda.blacksky.app help to keep us thinking about the nature of the universe!
