In 1949, Superman told schoolchildren “our country is made up of Americans of MANY different races, religions and national origins. So… “…if YOU hear anybody talk against anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin — don’t wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN.”

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

It’s almost as if right wing, anti-immigrant, austerity geared, ‘back to the good old days’ ethos led governments aren’t working 🤔. 'The village will die' - Italy looks for answers to decline in number of babies www.bbc.com/news/article...

Back from the neurologist today. All my little twitches are benign and nothing more nefarious. Confirms the ME/CFS dx. I apparently have ‘very brisk’ reflexes - maybe this is my super power?? 😂😂. In an unrelated investigation - I might have carpal tunnel in my right wrist 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Baby got a new bed 🥰 #MapleTheChi #SleepyDog #DogsOfBluesky #Chihuahua

Absolutely critical to address racism in schools right now. Well done Nuzi for continually keeping it at the fore 👏

The world is so utterly grim. How can we keep killing innocent people?? 😔🥺

I am so glad that I’m not a teacher anymore. This guidance is an utter disgrace. It’s such a slap in the face to every single Scottish teacher. The violence is very real, it’s very scary, it’s very traumatising. A laminated card is not the answer. 🤬 #ScottishEducation

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

Do people really believe that the Billionaire Media would tell them, "The problem is us, the billionaires." No of course they won't, instead they will blame absolutely anybody else.

Anyone have any recommendations for a lightweight foldable wheelchair that can be wheeled along like a bike while folded? I’m looking for something that might help me enjoy more outings this summer but that gives me the flexibility to walk when able, since I really enjoy walking.

At what point do we actually say enough is enough, let’s stop damaging the earth?

🧵 Le 28 mai, à l’occasion de la Journée internationale d’action pour la santé des femmes, @ladepechedumidi a publié un article éclairant sur le phénomène du gaslighting médical 👏 #CovidLong #ApresJ20 #GaslightingMedical #SantéDesFemmes

“I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.” ― Frida Kahlo, The Diary of Frida Kahlo Kahlo lived with #fibromyalgia after a train accident at age 18. She had numerous surgeries and was left with #ChronicPain. She created her most important works of art from bed.

Our letter condemning the genocide in #Gaza and calling for an immediate ceasefire. A great crime is being committed, and we cannot stand by. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Too many people around the world are hiding behind ‘Christian values’ to support dehumanising acts like this, anti-abortion laws, disability eugenics etc.

Someone who has been able to work for 30 years but then had to give up due to disability, is no more or less worthy of support than someone who has never been able to work. They are both human beings who deserve to live and not to be in poverty.

11 misconceptions about autism that just won't go away... even though they're wrong, harmful, or have been debunked a thousand times. (Part 2) A thread.

It’s time to build big, build bold, and build now.   That’s the mission I’ve given to our Cabinet, and we’re getting to work.

This thread is important to read. Medical misogyny is rife and too many women have these stories. It needs to change.

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

We are in one seriously messed up timeline. Can you imagine going back in time, say 20 years, and telling folk that in the future THE US PRESIDENT would be slagging off a wildly successful entertainer publicly for everyone in the world to read?!?? No one would believe you. 🤯🤯🤯

Ugh, so last Friday I went out with a pal to see Katherine Ryan. I had a great night. I rested in the days before but MY GOD my ass is still being kicked. I feel dreadful. #ME/CFS is a real bitch. 😒😣🥺😭

For Starmer to say that immigration has done "incalculable damage" to the UK is as wrong as it is evil.

If you wouldn't accept "we are at risk of becoming an island of strangers" from Kemi Badenoch or Nigel Farage you probably shouldn't accept it from Keir Starmer. Don't pretzel yourself trying to explain why it's ok from the guy in the red tie.

"If the European Citizens' Initiative to ban conversion therapy across the EU doesn't collect 1 million signatures within 10 days, it will unfortunately fail..."

Starmer is simultaneously detoxifying Reform and toxifying the Labour Party. I ask again, what is he playing at?

After due consideration, having weighed up the relevant evidence, assessed the balance of arguments and gamed the likely implications, I have reached the conclusion that Keir Starmer can fuck off from a great height.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Labour are relying on the ignorance of the public regarding the process of visa application. It’s not easy. The need to speak English is already a requirement. The UK needs foreign workers to keep functioning. All of this talk is gross dog whistling to the far right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

I cannot wait for the day that Farage is no longer relevant. It can’t come soon enough. The left have to be prepared to step up, Reform and Farage may disappear but the cancer that he’s created will continue. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/05...

Only one day left to sign this petition to adopt clean air standards in healthcare and social care settings. Hospital acquired COVID has a 10% fatality rate. Many of us are terrified to go to the hospital, because it’s the most risky place for us. It doesn’t need to be this way:

UK petition. End the badger cull! The petition is only approx 2500 off 100,000 which will get it considered for debate in parliament. Please sign and share if you can. 🙌 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

You can’t “try harder” your way out of chronic illness. You can’t “healthy diet” your way out of chronic illness. Disability is not your fault. It’s not a moral failing. Absolutely we should do whatever we can to be healthy, but folks need to accept that disability can & will happen to everyone

Reposting for those who didn't see it last night. Our petition (and reasons for) has been covered by @thecanaryuk.bsky.social 🫶 #pwME #DisabilityCutsKill

100% this 👇. They campaigned on a platform and have completely done the exact opposite.

While I'm not involved in any political party, I think @zackpolanski.bsky.social's analysis is correct. Thanks to Labour's multiple, infuriating failures, the Greens could become huge here, but only if they are bolder, more assertive and, yes, "eco-populist". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

And the UK did too…but apparently our Labour Party decided that they love the idea of fascism and fancy giving extreme right wing governing a try. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

My petition is being debated on 2nd June! There are less than 48 hours left to sign! Please share petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
