If you want to avoid more of this, you don't just have to stop Reform and Restore and all the rest. You need to act in solidarity with people suffering under this in Belfast right now. You need to oppose the government today! Not tomorrow!

It's also the present under Labour. I want to make it really clear: These photos aren't just a threat of a future under the far right. They are the present under a centre-right Labour government. Right now.

Protest against the racists this weekend

Restart got me to slightly re-jig my CV to meet ATS needs, even though most jobs I applied for didn't require a CV (arts/heritage sector loves to make you input everything manually). They had no other real advice for me. Very useful fortnightly meetings.

Today in 1944 - near Ouistreham in Normandy, Sergeant O'Neill films reinforcements arriving for 3rd Division on a congested Sword Beach, and a carrier towing a 6-pounder anti-tank gun burns after being hit by German fire. #DDay #filmcataloguing Film: IWM A70 32-2 / www.iwm.org.uk/collections/...

These sick bastards are the ideological heirs of the Nazis and they know it. They go to D-Day events and implicitly position themselves *with the defending force*. Cannot wait to see them all driven from power.

I love this stupid quote A) these movies are original because they’re not doing the tropes you mention B) there are tons of unique non-horror movies out there, yes, even showing in theaters. Go see them and support them. Horror fans go to the fucking movies and that’s a big part of this

There is something truly obscene about a British-German project to use Namibian wind/solar resources to produce hydrogen/ammonia for export to make Germany energy independent, dredging up the site of the Herero and Nama genocide. Also illustrative of why colonialism always matters as analysis.

One of the great universal constants: the Openreach guy will not show up during the stated window.

the obvious conclusion is that they share Reform's goals

Sad, sad news.

One of the fundamental reasons policing doesn't work is because the police are dangerous to victims of crime.

I think the stabbing had put Nowak in such a condition as to appear to be one of the many kinds of "undesirables" police are empowered to treat inhumanely and it's only after the fact when it's been discovered that he was in that state because of the stabbing that anyone even questions that reflex.

It must be awkward going to the pub with your mates after you had to smack them with a baton at the far-right riots

hi everyone! as your local resident witch and Celtic pantheon pagan *AND* British built heritage historian, please, PLEASE stop leaving lit candles as offerings in Neolithic monuments (cough cough West Kennet Long Barrow)

Big fan of opening my phone every day and seeing a news piece about the country getting worse for this or that group of people, and then having irl conversations that go "But you have to vote Labour in the next GE to stop the country getting worse under Reform!"

The Supreme Court has today "strip[ped] fundamental human rights protections from potentially hundreds of thousands of severely disabled people" say a group of National Charities for disabled people. www.mind.org.uk/news-campaig...

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

Good stuff!!

In ancient times Scythian transgender priestesses used to drink horse piss as a form of HRT. That’s why for Trans Pride I’m partnering with Strongbow Original Cider

I know it doesn’t matter at all whether they’re transphobic enthusiastically or cynically, but when you lay it out like this it’s the most ‘prepared statement read by hostage’ cadence I can imagine

What is it about shoplifting that brings out the most unreal takes? Start fights, fill the air with pepper spray – let's just do a burst of machine gun fire into the most heavy-hit aisles every three minutes as a precaution. That'll get em.

It’s going to be very hard for Europe to hold the incongruity of criticising Russia for invading Ukraine and doing nothing while Israel invades Lebanon.

I'm one of the signatories to this letter. We note that NHS England's ban on hormone therapy by under-18 was proposed: ● without any clear rationale, ● on the basis of a methodologically-flawed process, ● in the absence of peer review, ● and without plans for monitoring impact or mitigating harm

Peregrine falcon behind Gaudí's trencadís mosiac and chicks this month in the Sagrada Familia. Kindly sent to by Eduard Durany of Galanthus. A total of 318 chicks have hatched in the Barcelona metropolitan area since Eduard started the reintroduction programme with the council in 2003.

Around 180 residents marched in Oxford in support of trans rights today, following the government’s latest draft code of practice from the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Opponents have called the guidance ‘unworkable’ and say it amounts to an attack on trans and non binary people.

There is a new, open access 🚨 📖 book tracing the global history of Zoroastrianism from antiquity (6th century BCE-7th century CE) to the Middle Ages—and then into modernity. My friend & top Manichaeism scholar @babelalexandria.bsky.social has a chapter as well. www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-edi...

Last year Hungary’s leader, Viktor Orban, tried to ban Pride. Tens of thousands of Hungarians donned rainbows and flooded the streets and bridges of Budapest. And this year, after Orban was ousted, the police have confirmed Budapest Pride will go ahead!

This weekend, there will be 7 protests against the EHRC guidance, and a trans pride bloc marching within its region's pride. Read details on our website: whatthetrans.com/compilation-...

an Ottoman Lord’s Prayer: a thread. so i recently found out—i can’t remember from whom, but if it was one of you please let me know!—that there is a community of Turkish-speaking Chaldean Catholics in Kirkuk, Iraq, who continue to use Ottoman Turkish as a liturgical language. 1/

I do not appreciate the train station dimming its lights like it's closing time when I'm still waiting for my train home.

"Everyone is actually using AI" is really a statement that has the same smell as "everyone cheats on their spouse"

Water refill point at Oxford Station, but there's a 25p contactless charge. Sadiq would never stand for this.

I have been betrayed.

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

I've ordered a fan that should be collectable after work tomorrow. Soon, my bedroom will be habitable.

A good day to see some old stones.

A bar further up the road has been playing increasingly loud music since 2 or 3pm, and I've moved through rage, now, into grief, accompanied by a headache I've had since 2 or 3pm.
