There's a lot going on, so you might have missed Melania's new public statement #EleanorMorton www.instagram.com/reel/DXEplZx...

Which is what I’ve been saying. It was a deeply inequitable decision for rich countries with strong health systems and lower HIV/malaria/malnutrition rates to decide to keep a pet SARS virus. Frankly, it’s just another form of oppression.

I am not sure why Starmer thinks that having 'believed Mandelson's lies' is a defence. Being gullible and wilfully blind to a matter where you possessed the core facts sounds like exactly the kind of thing that would make someone unfit to be Prime Minister.

Just had my first @bemyeyes.bsky.social call of 2026, helping a chap collect all his guide dog's poop. If you're sighted, and looking for a super low-effort volunteering option, you could sign up.

Very random the places that are open today and those that are closed. Boots, closed. A jewellery shop open. I can get toothpaste tomorrow but today diamonds.

If anyone wants to complain about the antisemitic caricature of Zack Polanski that Mail published, their complaints email is a bit tricky to find 🙄, but it’s here (don’t bother with IPSO, they told me only the individual or representative groups can complain) www.readerseditor.dmgmedia.co.uk/contact

The daily mail is regulated by IPSO, for what it’s worth: www.ipso.co.uk/making-a-com...

I mean we know the Daily Mail has a history then and now of loving the fash but fucking hell the Zack 'caricature' is straight out of a Nazi stereotypical cartoon about Jews. Laurent Brindeau just being straight up antisemitic.

It seems unfair that my carnivorous Sarracenia has been eaten and inhabited by an insect. (I am going to see what hatches)

I think that, at some point, if there is to be a genuine reckoning with the rise of racism and anti-immigrant rhetoric, there needs to be a reckoning with the ugliness of gender critical thought.

Writing to my labour MP may be futile but it helps me feel slightly less crazed #TransRights #EHRC

We also managed to discover one of the top donors to Brexit and Nigel Farage is a top Tether shareholder. I fucking love my job. protos.com/bitfinex-tet... protos.com/scoop-bitfin...

Oh look, this again. If you're able, maybe you could help me head off some utility bills going into September? www.gofundme.com/f/mcn39-urge...

Well, this is surely entirely legit and lawful

While most Notting Hill businesses take some precautions over the carnival weekend, Amazon Fresh is the only one with US Embassy-level protection

Generally I think it’s a lot easier to understand Reform UK and the general right wing movement behind it as the successful politicisation of being a cunt

Labour are hellbent on trans genocide. There is no greater enemy of the LGBTQIA+ community in this country. Labour are targeting, attacking and driving our trans friends and family to despair. As a community we must become ungovernable. Defy, defy, defy. Do not stand for one more year of this.

the ultimate cryptofascists don't even know they're fascists themselves

If a politician legitimises the “concerns” of racist rioters, I can’t help but think that politician and their party are likewise racist.

What do they mean by “that just pierced feeling”? Agonising pain?

Our first funeral using the amazing Loop living coffin. It was not made, rather it has been grown, in just eight days, by injection mycelium spores into a frame filled with recycled hemp fibre. The mushroom eats the hemp fibre, and upon burial, helps the body breakdown much quicker. Genius.

I suppose at least someone will get rich making wearable high-frequency loudspeakers to defeat other people’s wearable AI microphones https://www.techradar.com/computing/artificial-intelligence/if-you-felt-like-amazon-could-eavesdrop-on-you-before-get-ready-to-meet-its-ai-wearable

Huh. Gmail has bundled its useful “smart” features along with nonsense Gemini AI. At least I have a choice, albeit all or nothing. Nice to see they have such faith in their AI product

Interesting and infuriating in equal measure. If we’re can force residential landlords to check renters’ immigration status, surely massive commercial landlords could be asked to do a bit of due diligence? https://www.londoncentric.media/p/asf-aziz-london-candy-shops-gift-shop-unpaid-tax

Who is this trying to appeal to, exactly?

Wonder what protest “Lord” Toby Young, that defender of free speech, is planning against the proscription of Palestine Action?

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Idk about the data, but this website is working just fine for gay Star Wars book historian dads in their 40s

First harvest from my sketchy balcony garden: a few leaves each of Outredgeous lettuce and mispoona (a hybrid of tatsoi and mizuna), plus some carrot thinning for an impromptu side salad

There is no dignity in losing civil rights you hack scum

It’s times like this that I’m glad the United Kingdom has the bold strong leadership of Keir Starmer, a prime minister who will never sell out people or his nations values for political expediency

Pls buy my pots to make me feel better on this day that i lost equal rights protections
