Burn it down. (by which I mean, maybe move away from Surveillance, Inc. asap)

Genuinely disgusting. Everyone dressed up in their finery, celebrating the segregation of an extremely vulnerable minority. This is an exterminationist hate movement. Young people have died by suicide as a result of this and similar hateful interference in our politics. Blood on their hands.

Poor toadstools. They must have chilly feet.

In a climate of increasing hostility towards trans and gender non-conforming people it's never been more important to stand up for the rights of everyone to go about their lives in freedom and dignity without fear of violence or harassment.

The last couple of days provide yet more evidence. We have a fascist Labour government. Archived links in alt-text.

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the transgender lives lost to violence. The Green Party stands shoulder to shoulder with transgender people in the face of increasing transphobic rhetoric in our society and politics.

Looks like the annual terraforming process heralding Her arrival is underway. She may not want a lot for Christmas, but she does demand that the appropriate meteorological adjustments are made prior to Her manifestation date. Be sure to give your full cooperation. We don't want another ice age.

Is there a reason we can freeze and appropriate the assets of warmongering Russian oligarchs but can't do the same for the ghouls destroying our privatised public infrastructure, like water?

according to the times the ehrc and @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social want to ban trans women from 'single sex spaces'( whatever this means ) based on how well we pass. passing is just how fuckable society thinks we are according to patriarchal beauty standards. it's as misogynist as it gets.

Gen 6 contest Spectacular Talents are rad as hell.

My oregano! Not bad for out-of-date seeds. I'm not sure if it'll last the winter, and I think it's supposed to be bigger than this (?), but overall a success. If seems happy to root from stems, so if it makes it to spring I should have a renewing supply 😊 (also pansies and clover, oops)

A few prints off to new homes.

In today's edition of "scratty little plants Jeffy likes", I found this stuff recently a few miles from home. It's apparently called 'ground ivy' but it's a type of mint, and according to Wikipedia it has lovely purple flowers in spring. Should be easy to get a piece as the stems root themselves 😊

A few weeks ago I was talking politics with a local, highly straight, bartender. All the sudden he said: “Well, I think a big part of the problem is that so many of the people who would’ve been our progressive leaders died of AIDS & can’t help us now.” And I’ve thought about that every day since.

Oh this looks incredibly impractical and pointless. I'm definitely gonna have to try it. tl;dr: garlic almost exclusively reproduces by self-cloning. There are tiny sexual flowers but they don't do anything before they die. But with a bit of intervention, they can be coaxed to produce real seeds.

don't give labour a single vote under any circumstances

More horrible Nazi shit from Labour. "We must restore ᴏʀᴅᴇʀ ᴀɴᴅ ᴄᴏɴᴛʀᴏʟ" There can be no excuse for continuing to support Labour. That includes their MPs.

If you see this, QTP with your favourite psychic Pokemon!

I'm sure they're extremely deadly, but these look fucking delicious. Honeycomb on the edge with a chocolate interior? Or is it a frothy coffee, caught on camera as it splashes out of the mug? Also they look kind of crunchy, in a good way.

Gross shit. Drag him. However. Be vigilant too. The Muslim YP MPs are subjected to constant racist abuse on the Nazi hellsite. Islamophobes will try to weaponise us to spread their hate. Don't let them. They'll also say transphobia is part of 'Muslim values'. It isn't. Now. Call out this shit.

Is anyone familiar with this stuff? Plantnet says it is hemp agrimony and wikipedia says it is great for butterflies, but there's a lot of it in the spot where I found it. Kinda like willowherb. Attracting butterflies would be nice but I don't wanna spread something that'll get invasive. 💀

all landlords are parasites. the reason the area is 'short on affordable properties' is bcos ppl like you have bought them all.

Asylum seekers are welcome here.

My life is complete.

This looks vaguely obscene. I'm not sure it should be allowed.

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

Very strong turnout this morning on the first of our five days strike. On Friday, in a meeting with the interim Principal, he confirmed his ideology is to cut as many jobs as possible. Support our action to save jobs and save the University! #SaveHE #SaveDundeeUni #WeAreTheUniversity

My self-heal wildflowers are propagating themselves in their pots 😊 I didn't know they could do this! My oregano is doing it too, and of course the clover. So far I've been successful in cutting and dividing creeper plants like this once they're established, and hopefully it'll work for these too.

The utter contempt Labour MP @charlotte2153.bsky.social has for people standing up for trans folks. That little thinky emoji. She's so much smarter than us! I've always said the 'omg phones' moral panic was dangerous. Now it's being used to deflect attention away from a transphobic child murder.

Yew berries! I'd never seen them before. They look kind of waxy, like they're made of plasticine. Definitely not one for eating though. ⚠☠️

I've been checking Plantnet to see what this is every couple of weeks as it grows. PN says it's a 'wine raspberry', but... ...this is a baby bramble, right? Doesn't look like any raspberry I've ever seen, wine or otherwise.

'gender ideology' is just a way for liberals to say 'gay agenda' without revealing how homophobic they are. yes im thinking of assholes like @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social.

I love Zack's reaction in this clip, but he still manages to grace a bad faith, uninformed question with a clear and effective response. Turns out politicians can answer questions honestly when their policies don't suck. Who knew?

The bittercress I found last month is doing well 😊 No idea what I'm going to do with it, but it's such a pretty little plant.

Brilliant example of how TERF talking points utterly dominate media perception. Phillips only wants to talk about trans women because that's basically all TERFs talk about. His entire understanding of gender is informed by exterminationist bigots. He hasn't thought about it for even an instant.

"Jeffy, are you posting pictures of mould again?" "...maybe." This is a seed pod from my dog violets (leaves above!) and in the last couple of days it's gone all fuzzy. I thought it was pretty cool. 😊 Also a photobomb from a wee beastie at the bottom! I had no idea it was there.

Anyone know what these tiny wrigglers are? They seem to like living in my compost, but so far they haven't caused any harm. They're super tiny, only about 2mm long.

Today is Intersex Day of Solidarity and Remembrance. It's an opportunity to highlight the continued struggles faced by intersex people globally, from unnecessary medical intervention or stigma. We all deserve to be treated with dignity, and live a life free from discrimination.

does @darrenpjones.bsky.social think young ppl consider a pro-austerity, trans hating, war criming, genocidal party to be modern and of the future or does he simply think they don’t notice these things? also: greens are the most popular party for voters aged 40 and under. not jus young voters.

Good morning

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social shows us how to fight back - without throwing ANY minority under the bus.

I discovered this pretty plant not far from my front door! Plantnet says it's a 'cut-leaved cranesbill' but it's really tiny compared to the other geraniums I've seen. Might be nice with my speedwells? They both have tiny flowers and creeping growth. Thankfully managed to scoop some seeds 😊

The science is clear. If we are to have any hope of preventing total climate breakdown, there can be no new oil and gas fields.

There are fewer and fewer nice plants or bugs to photo, but still lots of toadstools! These are a weird milky white and have a kind of rubbery look to them. They're just popping up in the grass. No idea what they're nibbling on. Maybe the fallen beech nuts?

If you’re standing in a flattened wasteland where hundreds of thousands of people used to live and the government spokesman showing you around says there was an urgent military necessity to destroy every house to its foundations, you are morally and professionally obliged to stop participating.

Think you've figured out Halloween? Think again. Observe the masters at work.

I really like Python as a language. Incredible to see the foundation refuse to bend the knee to a deeply malevolent regime, despite the significant cost. Big respect. This is free software ethics in action. There's a donation link in the thread if you're able to contribute.

Today I have been harvesting primordial bioplasm from the dimensional fissure under my water tank. The acephalic flagella are looking particularly viscous in this batch!

Is this a good idea for my rain dance team? Definitely not. Am I gonna do it anyway? You betcha.
