This is Skye. She refuses to let her human leave for college. Willing to do anything to get him to change his mind about this whole "education" thing. 13/10 (IG: skye.redgoldenretriever)

The good news: the president has pardoned the turkey. The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.

Denial will not end the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19. Denial will not prevent repeated infections of Covid-19. Denial will not stop the irreparable harm that results from Covid-19. Denial will not take us back to "normal." Denial will only make our situation worse. #COVID19

This has lost me thousands of pounds (not to mention book sales) and put me in a state of terror and panic. I urge anyone thinking of moving their list from Substack, or wanting to know more about how Substack works, to read it....

This is pretty striking and makes me wonder exactly what Labour have been up to in making policy seemingly in response to / fear of the former rather than the middle group.

𝙈𝙧𝙨. 𝙋𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙣 Good morning wonderful followers! Down below is Kris...Kris is my Stupidity Saturday post......

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

New immigration rules demand people speak English to A level standard. There's no oral element to A Level English exams (nor GCSE), so how is this to be tested, & by whom? I teach English in state secondary school. Most of my colleagues aren't A Level standard, so I doubt border guards will be...

Sometimes I forget that normies don’t understand the “possible permanent decline” part. Yes, getting sick after basic tasks is terrible enough. But we want to LIVE. If we could assuredly recover we’d do ALL THE THINGS, get sick, recover & repeat. That alone would be life-changing. #MECFS #LongCovid

Rebecca Heineman, video game designer, programmer and co-founder of Interplay and Logicware (also founded other game studios), has passed away. Rest in peace.

Today @thesicktimes.org: big story from @spichaksimon.bsky.social examining exercise trials for Long COVID. His analysis found that, among LC exercise trials registered on clinicaltrials.gov, less than 20% even *mention* PEM in their trial registration. thesicktimes.org/2025/11/21/l...

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

Elon Musk can't get humans to love him so he made a robot to love him instead and now all the humans are making fun of the robot. This is the smartest man in the world, a once-in-a-generation genius and clear member of the natural aristocracy

Is it milk? A handy guide to measuring like a Brit.

“If I lost everything I would just work harder and take any job to earn it all back”. Cool story. Try doing that if you’re disabled and bedbound. You know what often causes people to “lose everything”. Sudden catastrophic health issues. You can’t “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” when sick.

The next pandemic is highly likely to be airborne. We need clarity on whether the government is prepared. Are medical supplies up to date? And what action is being taken on ventilation and air filtration to keep public spaces safe? #PublicHealth #PandemicPreparedness

'They're banning Christmas' glorious British press klaxon! Led by some rando on the fash website our wonderful journalists are still getting their opinions from, plus noted intellectual & cultural bellweather Susan Hall!

A Government of cowards. Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution. They can't get away with this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

In Paris, Zelenskyy met Brittany fishermen who donated their nets to Ukraine. Those nets now hang above streets and power yards, catching low-flying drones before they reach people. They’re already saving lives in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and across the east.👇

Utterly divine!

Uh this is enormous

And we are in the majority, too. That's why I've joined @greenparty.org.uk You can't slide a piece of rice paper between the conservatives, labour, and reform. 🤢 They disgust me. 🤢 @zackpolanski.bsky.social

THREAD. The definitive list of the absolute best interdimensional portals I have photographed on walks in the British countryside. 1. Gateway To The Land Of Leaping Dogs.

I find myself increasingly shouting the same three things at films (at home. not in the cinema): 1. Speak up! 2. Just turn the flipping lights on! and, more than any other phrase: 3. Keep your fucking eyes on the road when you're driving!!

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right. There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture join.greenparty.org.uk

you can copy/paste on bluesky and i put alt-text on to everything i also do my best not to repost anything that doesn't use alt-text so you're limiting range if you don't use it alt-text also shows up in search results so it's a good way of dropping in keywords that will increase discoverability

This video on the fashion industry, the commodification of youth, and the feminine beauty standard being a literal child feels... very relevant right now, for some reason! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zqm...

@qi.com Catching up on the show last night, I was surprised not to see any questions on snow geese, or "waveys". Surely the person who does the titles didn't just misspell "wavy"?

Can anyone explain to me the point of running the advert for a show, in an ad break within the show I'm *already watching* ????

The BBC, quite consciously, sets out to demean and belittle trans people. This is both morally contemptible and in breach of its Charter obligations. We've made it super easy for you to write to the BBC and tell it to stop. Please use - and share with your networks. goodlaw.social/2j5q

When people say that Wuthering Heights doesn't have anything to do with race or that no film has engaged with race, what they mean is that for them Romani people do not count and they also haven't been paying attention. I'm going to share a little material from a recent talk. Content note: racism 1/
