Well in this President’s America, a mass shooter can own and use an assault rifle, but his victims don’t have a right to healthcare after being shot.

"Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise." — Cato

People can mute Singal. They can block him. They can set a filter so they never see his name in print. They can make lists of people who follow him and block every single person on the list. It's not enough. They demand the mods comply with their purity test.

In order to reign-in the damage caused by puberty blockers, the UK has relied on legislation. In the US by contrast perhaps litigation will be what brings down the house of cards. genspect.org/as-olson-ken...

This is how the UK media should report on migration...

Humans really need to break our addiction to meat. "Half of the earth’s habitable land is already devoted to agriculture, and most of that – about 80% – is grazing pasture and cropland for animal feed, making meat consumption a major driver of deforestation globally."

I have a bad feeling about this...

A parasol mushroom, Macrolepiota procera. Have found a few this last week, but hopefully we'll have a big flush soon... #fungi

It's the hope that kills you.

"Non-binary is the gender identity you end up claiming if you’re a feminist who’s made the category “woman” uninhabitable for any female human with an ounce of self-respect." Great stuff, well worth a read.

It is with heavy heart (and, unfortunately, deep affection) that I must reshare a snippet from the 1980s masterpiece “Yes, Prime Minister”, in relation to Russia’s drone attack on a NATO ally.

They just want to pee though

Very enjoyable comments under this smooth-brained article from the Economist.

The fuck?

Believe women 💜

I do love my terf bluesky buddies. There's some sanity left in this world.

Walking through the allotment yesterday and the dahlia blooms in one of the polytunnels really caught my eye; especially the ones against the taut sides. #dahlia #flowers #allotment

One might have to admit to planting too many beans when the laundry basket has to be emptied half way through harvesting.

Cheeky (but very handsome) fox sat on my garden wall in daylight.

OTD in 2020 Navalny was poisoned. A short history.. A Russian in Russia, under close surveillance by Russian intelligence, left a hotel in Russia & got on a Russian plane going from Russia to Russia & consumed a Russian nerve agent only Russia has by the CIA.

The Kremlin says a lot of things though.

It's depressing how quickly the slogan "protect the dolls" has so quickly given rise to "arm the dolls". I worry for women's safety.

For Ukrainians, seeing the big hitters of Europe standing with Zelensky in the White House matters. It’s not just symbolism—it’s reassurance that Ukraine isn’t alone, that Europe’s weight is behind Kyiv in the fight for survival and freedom.”

There’s a narrative about women being "easy" but men are the easiest thing to get, whereas women have standards.

This is insane. The whole industry should be outlawed.

reduxx.info/exclusive-br... The decision by an EU country to grant refugee status to this Brazilian woman is significant for more than one reason. To begin with, it is the first of its kind (at least that we know of).

At long last the EHRC will release guidance that clarifies the protection of single sex spaces in UK law. archive.ph/IKYvb

I’m not gonna tell you where we’re going just get into the handbasket OK

I recently picked up the little guy on the left at a car boot sale. Imagine my surprise when I saw the exhibit on the right in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge! I wonder if mine is the real thing, or a copy? @essexegyptology.bsky.social #egyptology #ancientegypt #ancienthistory

I've just seen 'one of those' male football fans over on Facebook claiming bitterly that the England men's team would've won the women's Euros way more easily. How do these people exist?

Ian Dunt once again showing he is barely aware women exist.

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

NHS Fife has cleared Sandie Peggie of all disciplinary charges! Sandie was being investigated by the health board after a trans woman doctor accused her of a “hate incident” and patient safety breaches following a confrontation in a changing room at work www.heraldscotland.com/news/2531691...

Quite struck by how many people knew there was something sus about The Salt Path, but didn't mention it until today.

My partner just found this in our garden - we think it's a jackdaw pellet! Apparently owls aren't the only birds to cough these up, even little birds like sparrows do it (although good luck finding a sparrow pellet...). We have lots of jackdaws nesting, so they're the obvious suspects.

Allison Bailey has won her legal action against her former vets. This is the first time a service provider (as opposed to an employer, for example) has been successfully prosecuted for discriminating against someone for their gender critical beliefs. allisonbailey.co.uk/updates/alli...

This never happens though.

🚨ICYMI I’ve spent months talking to policewomen abused by fellow officers about how their partners used police training and authority to facilitate abuse - and how their own forces closed ranks when they asked for help. Read: observer.co.uk/news/nationa... Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/5j5L...
