When I was announced as the lead in a Doctor Who spinoff in 2023 Graham Linehan tweeted about me for TWO DAYS, tagging the BBC and others to say that I am pro-child abuse and they shouldn't work with me.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

The paperback of "Stories Are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind" just came out, and it's more vital than ever. I'll be joining @bschillace.brandyschillace.com for the Peculiar Book Club tomorrow 7/10 to talk about it! Join us at 3pm Pacific! www.youtube.com/live/zmqVYxU...

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Still true: *Britain is a success story *Most of its cities are doing astonishingly well *Multiculturalism is popular *Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration *Nostalgia is increasingly weird *Britain is incredibly safe *Levels of social cohesion are high Don't let them gaslight you.

okay and here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, they have too many windows, get you some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there

Farage and the US Religious Right are celebrating policy wins here - and there's been a huge rise in prosecutions for abortion. Please email your MP and ask them to support Stella Creasy's amendment to decriminalise abortion; we've made it so easy for you. action.goodlawproject.org/decriminalis...

Will you call on Foreign Secretary David Lammy to step up and take action, by demanding an end to the blockade of aid to Gaza, and immediately ending all arms sales to Israel? Add your name to the @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social petition. act.greenpeace.org/page/172790/...

The fact that separate words for 'pillow', 'bolster' and possibly also 'cushion' can be reconstructed for Proto-West-Germanic suggests the early medieval world in northern Europe was a lot softer and fluffier than people may think.

Pattie Gonia, the park ranger drag queen, and a group called Trans is Natural climbed El Capitan in Yosemite to hang an absolutely massive trans pride flag and it's really fucking cool www.instagram.com/p/DJ7O6RFyoe...

Decent politicians need to push back against Farage's comments on Lucy Connelly. "millions of mothers after Southport feeling exactly the same way"? No. Millions did NOT feel the need to call for mass murder of asylum seekers & we simply cannot allow the idea to be normalised.

Lovely to hear from the Prime Minister that the historical policies which allowed my Mum to remain in the UK after studying here, thus enabling my existence, was a “squalid experiment in open borders”.

The two pictures are 11 years apart. On 10 May 1933 the Nazi party staged ideological spectacle of burning of 'un-German’ books. 2nd image: Auschwitz II-Birkenau, burning pits outside gas chamber V, 1944. #Auschwitz warns us of where ideologies of hatred can lead to.

Labour's new policy - of humiliating trans people by requiring them constantly to self-identify - we believe puts the UK (again) in breach of its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and will seek a declaration of incompatability. goodlaw.social/0r6l

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Dear Foreign Country: Your tariff rate is your head of state's birthday (month and day only) MULTIPIED BY zero PLUS the number of vowels in your capital city TIMES a secret number that popped into Donald Trump's head MINUS the amount it costs to upgrade to large fries in a Big Mac meal.
