Spain's trans healthcare service, Transit, has a wait time to 1st appt *with treatment* of just 3 weeks. In contrast the avg wait time for the UK is 25 years without access to medication, for that youd need to wait an avg 8 additional months. Informed consent *works*.

My next art give-away and virtual gallery will be sharks and rays. In preparation, I’ve been combing through my photos and sketchbooks for inspiration. Here is a repost of one of my old watercolors. #sundayfishsketch #sciart #coralreefs #marinelife #sharks

It's also not "just another" extinction, it's the first from mainland Europe in centuries. CENTURIES. And there will be others within our lifetime. That's biodiversity loss. We'll never hear this sound, ever again xeno-canto.org/398794

Yeah everything SUCKS but humans are still silly wonderful beautiful creatures who collaborate with slugs to make videos like this. So. All is not lost.

Translucent Switch 2 done! The Joycons were easier to do than I thought, and the results look pretty awesome IMO 😋 “Edited” with the iOS 26 “pause recording” button. Honestly pretty goated feature!

A grim thread. Conversion therapists at the Oslo gender clinic stole children’s journals and used them to write a junk paper claiming to link the supposed rise in trans men with self-harm. It echoes Cass.

My university has something called the "raft debate" where professors defend their disciplines. I've been chosen to represent the humanities and they asked me to make a promo video. You know what I had to do.

It costs the UK state approx £1.5M to investigate one suicide. It costs approx £1.5M to fund one mid sized gender service. Investigating one trans suicide each year costs more than providing life saving healthcare for hundreds of trans people every year. Transphobia is a political choice.

Important thread!! The “lone genius” myth of scientists is always wrong, and western science often erases the knowledge and contributions of local and indigenous people. Be inspired, but don’t be fooled by the prevailing narrative.

What. The. Actual. Fuck. This is fucking GHOULISH.

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

My favourite thing about JK Rowling claiming she lived through poverty is the state provided her with a one-bedroom flat which she always refers to as “a glorified bedsit”. The “glorified” bit is: a separate bedroom and living room.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

you can love a character and still admit when they're wrong. we love Shadow but we can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) and we can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he has never done anything wrong in his life) and call him out on his actions (which are always correct)
