I am older than gender markers on passports! How do you regulate gender? By making it a form of government ID. It has nothing to do with state security, only regulation

Immensely proud to share that I am the designer of the official badge for LGBT+ History Month 2026. Last night, @lgbthm.bsky.social revealed that the 2026 theme for the month will be 'Science and Innovation', so get ready to learn about some amazing queer scientists next year!

Leading group field botany sessions for kids over the coming month and digging through my photo archives! Going to use some pictures to illustrate what I'm saying before we embark on our foray. These sessions will focus on moss/bryophytes and field skills! I'm looking forward to it.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

"The Hague’s fossil-fuel advertising ban is more than a policy- it’s a signal. By rejecting the normalization of fossil fuel promotion, the decision to implement a ban locally can challenge entrenched norms globally... FF advertising bans present a compelling opportunity for governments to act"

State of the Cryosphere Report 2025 "Recent evidence suggests the AMOC is weakening more quickly than previously thought, raising serious concerns about an irreversible threshold being crossed..." - @iccinet.bsky.social iccinet.org/statecryo25/

This is fucking horrifying.

Good day to remember that science is a social process and that focusing on the Great Men of Science is as reactionary as focusing on the Great Men of History. Science is made by laboratory assistants and instrument technicians as much as it is by the Nobel laureates

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad 2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

As Ta-Nehisi Coates said last month: “.. it’s either one of two things: either you’re cowards or you’re with him. And if you’re with him, you never believed in the things you were talking about to begin with.”

AI could end scarcity, end humanity - or boost trend growth by 0.2 percentage points

Maths... If you make $100,000 a year (not bad), it will take you 10 MILLION years to earn a trillion dollars. If you make a million dollars a year (wow!), it'll still take you a million years to earn a trillion dollars. Tax the rich.

Very excited to take up this role at @sussex.ac.uk & look forward to working with colleagues & students to help amplify the hugely important work the University is doing on climate, nature and environmental sustainability eg the very first undergraduate degree in climate justice starting in 2026 💚

Day one of the Extractive Natures/Natures of Extraction workshop, organised by @melinabuns.bsky.social as part of her @britishacademy.bsky.social fellowship here at Bristol @uobrisceh.bsky.social . Great papers that spanned resource extraction from medieval Europe to modern day Australia

Coming up on day two of Extractive Natures/ Natures of Extraction we have bodies, we have places, and we have power!

Hey wait a minute these roads lead all kinds of places

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows. Does this sound familiar? Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

Think of the quote in the photo below as you listen to this young man.

A shoutout for @evelynwelch.bsky.social from Seth Meyers to brighten up a very wintery Wednesday in Manchester👋 Support Late Night television, support academic research! Evelyn's latest book Renaissance Skin is available now in a beautifully illustrated paperback: bit.ly/3JIfNn0 #ArtHistory

Since it's #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, we're going to reshare the interviews that we've done with some really amazing Native folks that you may not be familiar with because in our current media landscape, there's only a handful of Natives that you hear about again & again. We want to change that!

In this interview, Weyodi speaks about the cultural & linguistic roots of her storytelling, the difference between Indigenous Futurism & mainstream sci-fi, the importance of community & collaboration, and her hopes for an expansive future for Native rep in media. redpopnews.com/reclaiming-t...

I can’t get depleted because my dear friend H relies on my energy to reach yall so his malnourished toddlers can stay housed and get food. They finally have a small chance to get an ounce of nutrition. We’re matching £500 / $650. 18 HOURS LEFT. 0/1000

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution. The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

Dry summer followed by wet autumn has resulted in a fungal explosion in the Wye Valley. Bit slow in posting, but here are some treasures.

The major opposing candidates called him a jihadist and Democratic leadership didn't make a peep about it!

Statement from the FBI Agents Association after Director Kash Patel fired, unfired then re-fired several agents who had worked on cases targeting Trump and allies. Complete shambles.

Kat has been standing up to ICE and their direct abuse. She should be filling charges against them. But she is running or office as a Dem, so this is likely a political abuse of power.

"Most critical minerals are not energy-transition minerals, and most energy-transition minerals are not critical minerals" The Minerals Security concept proposed by Daniel Franks (@Uqueensland) seems more relevant to me. I want to be on the sustainability boat, not in the war one...

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

Wild how we have structural collapse in multiple knowledge economy sectors at the same time. Journalists and academics are stuck in institutions that force them to compromise on ethics and there are no exit options, much less open jobs in lateral fields

The press doesn’t get away unscathed: “The legacy media is apparently more interested in the climate musings of an erstwhile PC mogul than a sober assessment by the world’s leading climate scientists.”

YOU REALIZE THAT WE ARE DESTROYING THESE YOUNG PEOPLES’ WOLRD I DONT THINK CAREER DEVELOPMENT IS WHAT THEYRE MOST CONCERNED ABOUT

Condé Nast has decided to merge Teen Vogue with Vogue(dot)com, push out Teen Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief Versa Sharma, and kill some of the best political reporting—particularly on reproductive rights and issues that matter to young women—we’ve had in this country during the past few years. This sucks

This is astonishingly bad news, and it is hard to imagine that it is not a capitulation of the parent company to pressure.
