Can I drag your attention to the artworks by contemporary Czech palaeoartist, Vladimir Rimbala. His works are a perfect mix of modern science and retro composition (🧵)

There’s a myth that Britain has been historically generous and welcoming to refugees and latterly asylum seekers. The facts - and immigration law - tell a different story. And today’s news made me think about Benjamin Zephaniah’s poem about the death of Joy Gardner & how many more deaths we’ll see

I know folks love to pretend that 10 year wait for indefinite leave to remain doesn’t already exist, but it does and folks like me get stuck on it due to our time as students in this country. And I can tell you from experience, a 20 year wait is fucking indefensible.

Today's #Nudivember species is Jorunna rubescens and has funky little rhinophores. Info: www.seaslugforum.net/showall/kent... Photos: www.inaturalist.org/taxa/467976-...

Today's #nudivember is the floral Jorunna rubescens, which looks like it should be in a still life bouquet.

又西二百八十里，曰章莪之山，无草木，多瑶、碧。所为甚怪。有兽焉，其状如赤豹，五尾一角，其音如击石，其名如狰。有鸟焉，其状如鹤，一足，赤文青质而白喙，名曰毕方，其鸣自叫也，见则其邑有讹火。 #山海経の怪鳥30羽描く #30WeirdAncientBirds #art #illustration #水墨画 #inkwash #inkwashart

Perpetually in a struggle. My mom is on the penultimate stages of liver failure, and her blood sugar, even at fasting level, is astronomical. Would appreciate any help whatsoever. Thank you so much

Thinking about the guy who phoned up the library saying his family had been in the same part of London going back centuries as some sort of deserving special treatment thing and how tempted I was to reply "Oh nice, mine weren't" and to then put the phone down.

I might still be Suffering(tm) from this course of antibiotics, but the #nudivember entries continue with Polycera tricolor, which my brain desperately wants to be Polycera tricolour.

If you see this , Post a parasaur 💚

My favourite year for oppressed literary masculinity was 2023 when the number of women on the Booker shortlist was smaller than the number of men named Paul

There’s nothing left wing socialist or progressive about violent policies towards Black and brown people seeking asylum and the Labour Party will find out what this means for you at the May elections

Rewatched St John's Wort in the knowledge that it's based on a videogame, and instead of any of the multiple, branching, wild endings, they decided to make one where my partner and I are both sat there like "I think this is transphobic, but honestly I'm too confused to be offended?"

Today's #nudivember is the delightful Flabellina ischitana.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Trying to think of anything to say on this and coming up with a total blank because my brain is just screaming "evil".

You’ve fled a desperate situation and reach the UK and how are you supposed to build a life find a partner have kids etc if it is uncertain whether in a couple of years you’ll be shipped out.

UK Home Office once again gleefully embracing cruelty for no reason other than to be seen to be openly performing cruelty on people.

Meanwhile, today's #nudivember entry is the lemon-drizzle Cadlinella ornatissima.

When I finally have my NHS autism assessment in 2095, I think that "Cannot even look in the direction of their manager, but will make prolonged eye contact with a Triassic muppet" should probably be on the notes somewhere.

I made a friend.

Here's a little sneak peek at the fabric art sloth I'm working on. I designed and hand-sewed him.

Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.

A movie you've seen more than seven times with a GIF No film will ever be able to explain me and my formative inner life more than this one.

Good to see Wood Green enthusiastically supplying the Dapper Furry demographic

Got informed about some sad news. Garfield Minott, a prolific dinosaur modeller, special effects and palaeoartist, recognised for contributions to the description of dinosaur binocular vision, passed away at age of 58.
