Libraries are so cool. Whenever I'm away from home and need a place to hang out between things, I find a library. There's a bathroom, a water fountain, chairs, and I can read, meditate, use the computers, or just be, and no one tries me make me buy anything.

Horrifying

Recognizing Palestine. Recognizing genocide in Palestine. Ok, so are you going to stop it? Are you going to intervene? To withdraw your material support at the very least? Otherwise it’s just words.

🎉 Really delighted to welcome former Labour MP @thelma-2.bsky.social to the Green Party. 💚 We are now at 78,000 members. That's +10,000 new members in the last few weeks. 👀 www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/im-...

he's spent the last 18 months claiming trans women are a serious risk on women's wards i don't believe a single word he says this is a man who spent the election calling for segregation and who has almost entirely replaced our healthcare with conversion practices based on christian pseudoscience

There is a term for people who tell you to abandon your morally & logically sound principles in exchange for mass appeal; enemies.

I don’t have it but if I did have it I would definitely cancel it! Love that people in many different countries are cancelling in solidarity.

I didn't know this creator had a bluesky page, but she's @abbierichards.bsky.social and she's very good at explaining authoritarianism.

Maria Ressa, "By design, social media platforms spread lies six times faster. If laced with fear, anger, hate, it goes viral. They change the way we vote" This is how they got Brexit over the line in 2016

Stop convincing yourself that you need to all of the thing to make it worth doing any of it. Put on 1 song, tidy, clean, draw, or whatever for the length of that song. When it's done, you can be done. Doing something is better than nothing

Spoke tonight with the Financial Times. 👇🏼

A few thoughts on the #MigrantHotelProtests in #Hull and #NorthernIreland and across #England and on the way we commemorate #RemembranceDay

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality. We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

IRL people are lush! I just went to a Leftfield gig and everyone was amazing, then went to a gay bar, again, everyone was epic! Sometimes you forget if you go online too much

Watch it till the end. I love her so much.

Absolutely everybody saw this coming, this is just cases we know about so far

glad i did this! the quotes are so insightful

i wanna try something. quote this post if you’re a man who hates the manosphere

Teaching AI literacy. (GenAI is wrong A LOT. And even though people tend to think it saves time, we now have randomized controlled trials that show situations where it takes *more* time even when participants self-report it's saving them time.)

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

ik a lot of ppl are loathed to give stephen fry any due but this, i think, is the first time a mainstream figure has been all over the british press straight-up saying jk rowling has been radicalised. this is actually unusual, and blanket, coverage.

Gracia Ventus at Rosen and Rosen-X tells me that she intentionally designs things to remove gender codes, such as shoulder width, waist-to-hip ratio, etc. She has also written a lot about gender in dress and avant-garde fashion, so you may enjoy her blog The Rosenrot. the-rosenrot.com

It’s just taken me 10 years to Whatsapp someone some photos from the 2015 Shambala! Even by my modus operandi this was pretty terrible, the joy they just felt made it worth it though!

By the end of this, there will be more trans toilet signs than trans people in the UK and cis women will still be raped regularly by cis men, who will never face justice.

A bean and a cucumber plant join together through a fence. We could learn a thing or two, yeah? #gardening

If Brexit was a Divorce as the Leave press machine would entitle it, then the UK is currently residing in a bedsit, seeing the kids at weekends and wishing it hadn't had that affair in the first place.

This was a nice experiment 🥹 complexly.info/CCcoin25-6

This was last weekend in Easton, Bristol, UK. I am 50 and I have never before seen such a thing

Public pressure works! Keep it going.

Why did Kermit make me cry so much 😭 Peak peri-menopause www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

It took 15 years until it was repealed. FIFTEEN. I know that we'll get there eventually, but it does feel like everything this horrible government is doing is over a decade away from being fixed

"When you have more than you need, build a longer table not a higher fence." All of us have, at one time or another, been on the receiving end of someone's generosity, kindness, forgiveness. It's time we remembered & paid it forwards. To save our world. #GoodMorning, everyone.

I think about this comic at least once a week

Today, small children in Gaza are dying of starvation. Just a mile away, hundreds of trucks sit full of food. The IDF blocking them entering. This is the face of the Israeli regime - evil beyond comprehension.

‘Homosexual lifestyle’ always makes me chuckle, my homosexual lifestyle is pretty ordinary and dull these days tbh!

The very reason why diversity in the media at the decision-making level is very important. This is applicable to Great Britain too, where media diversity is actually one of the poorest, when compared with all other industries.
