Wondering about contronyms, specifically any that might appear across a UK/US divide. “Tabling a discussion” can mean raising it for debate, or setting it aside for later (depending on who you’re talking to)

Major breaking news: There are 4 baby squirrels! I repeat, 4 baby squirrels! #Sqrlpix #squeeeeee (there's one at left where you can just see the tail)

Chris Mason’s interview with Ed Davey sure is something. Every question either about Farage/Reform, or simply scolding Davey for thinking the BBC focuses on Reform too much. Immediately followed by a segment going into detail on Reform policy announcements. I laughed out loud

I’ll be curious to see what people come up with for this. Remember, no promoting violence

Sitting in the pub playing a train driving simulator, you can’t say I’m not social.

dudes rock

Honestly I’d like to hold a high opinion of the BBC In mandating that its output be as impartial as possible, it should be something of an anchoring force in British politics. Although what impartiality actually is, how to achieve it, and who gets to decide these things, are real snags

I wonder if a rise in unfounded views about medicine, could in any way be linked to news media? Perhaps, wrong opinions shouldn’t be taken seriously (even if those opinions come from famous people)

If you're screaming about TOS changes and haven't screamed into the feedback form yet, you should do that!

Thankfully I’m not in whatever circles are dying the world will end on Tuesday. But I bet soon those ppl will be hearing “no see the rapture actually occurred in the spiritual plane…”

The impracticality of inhuman policies isn’t my core problem. Its the wanton cruelty, the lack of respect for human rights and the dignity of the person that make me angry. The world is full of people who will do badly thought out things because they’re evil, or scared, or not paid to think think…

Authors & publishers posting abt illustrated books or using an illustrator's work to promote a book, pls credit ILLUSTRATOR. Not only are you helping boost artist but it shows people that you or your publisher hired a HUMAN artist. #PicturesMeanBusiness art @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social #KidLit

A decent US-centric piece on recent developments in internet censorship. Keep informed and keep mailing your representatives about it

the reason you don't engage in a data-driven argument with fascists is that it legitimises the idea that if the data went the other way their core argument would be acceptable it is not and should be rejected wholesale from first principles

you should buy a new shower head . no pressure .

Obviously in Christ’s time the wheels were made of wood, although their exact position and size remain a matter of some debate. The question of whether the wheels were attached to pedals, is largely settled (what else could a suppedaneum be for?) But clearly debate continues nonetheless

A new piece in @economist.com willfully misrepresents a recent paper on youth gender identity, contradicting the findings to impose a narrative of bias and fear. @veraeikon.bsky.social covered the same paper for Assigned Media recently. Read her story here.

Got a little sunshine Met a little butterfly I think next I might have a little nap

Hey there Delilah I am writing the Quixote Adding hermeneutic weight to what Miguel wrought crude and floaty Vis-à-vis The work— attributed to me? Or only he?

Got a compliment on my “very autumnal” nail polish, I wear this colour year-round but I’m happy to suit the season

Since the Health Sec is again calling for segregation of trans people in healthcare, a reminder of what that actually looks like in practice. Inferior care and medical neglect. transsafety.network/posts/scared...

Also this week, in an interview with Mumsnet, Streeting advocated for trans segregation. www.mumsnet.com/news/wes-str...

What do we want? Decision by committee When do we want it? That’s up to the committee

In Denmark, if you’re pregnant and the government thinks you will be a bad parent because you were abused as a child, they can give you a test asking “what’s glass made of?” and “what’s the big staircase in Rome called?”If you fail they take your baby after birth. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The ground is littered with richly coloured conkers. It’s too wet for me to fill my pockets with them, but there will be other trees and other days

Here's your poem prompt.

Oh look at her she’s just curled up into a tiny ball oh

And yet a trace of the true self resides in the false self

A very fine rain has landed on the windows, it’s almost as if the glass is frosted

Another unsettled night. Finding a silver lining, my insomnia did give me time to paint my nails (burgundy)

Perhaps for the sake of pure novelty, I should try sidestepping the options initially offered by autocorrect?

Sky nicely dappled with clouds. I don’t think I’m up to watching a sunset tonight But the sky can be beautiful at any hour

I don't have much creepy art, but I like drawing stuff in darkness!

Waiting for my tea to cool, So I can give it a little sip And lower the level Making it safe to walk with.

In trying to post more art, and be less of a perfectionist, here’s a couple rough pen sketches I did whilst listening to the rest is politics

Contributing to my quota for whimsical posts, and taking joy in the small things* I'm planning to paint my nails tonight
