Hey @edinburghairport.bsky.social, I don't think much of your special assistance. Separating a disabled person from their carer is one of the big no no's. Incredibly disappointed that there was apparently "no room" for carers in your 20 seater hydraulic lift alongside the 5-6 disabled folks.

It's Don't Argue Inside Your Head With Other People Friday. Today, if you find yourself arguing inside your head w/someone who's not present, or whom it's not safe or not fair for you to argue with, gently move your mind away. Do this as many times as you need.

it's 2007. you're scrolling your favorite rss feeds in google reader. the internet ad market has led to a boom in mid-sized blogs that can employ tens of writers and editors in a relatively niche subject. you don't know it, but this is the last time journalism will be any good.

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

"listen man i just want to live my life and go about my day unmolested and to be treated with dignity" vs "i think you're unpleasant so we're banning you from public spaces"

I don't care how much better the aesthetic is when shampoo, conditioner and shower gel bottles match. They need to be different shapes so that visually impaired people can differentiate. People who usually wear eyeglasses or contact lenses don't wear them in the shower.

Hey y’all, if you are using the setting to remind you to use alt text, you might want to check and make sure it’s still on. I know for a fact that it I had it on for me, but it seems to have turned itself off at some point.

Today I get to support @hardlyaverage.bsky.social as he FINALLY gets top surgery. Looking forward to seeing whether he says anything ridiculous as he comes round from the anaesthetic.

"Oh so you think you know more about autism than the President of the United States and the US Secretary of Health?" "I think there are as yet undiscovered single cell organisms at the bottom of the Mariana Trench which know more, about everything, than those two lying conspiracy pushing creeps".

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

Enya took her piles of money, bought a castle, and lives there alone with a bunch of cats. Enya is correct.

Can you imagine how much better things would be if implemented UBI _and_ a four day work week as standard? But no, 8 guys have like 90% of all wealth on the planet so we can't have nice things.

IN THE FIGHT AGAINST FASCISM PORNOGRAPHERS HAVE YOUR BACK DO YOU HAVE THEIRS?

I haven't voluntarily seen 5am in a while, but it's for a good cause. Next stop: Athens!

I approach news stories about polls with skepticism, but sometimes you get a response that has to be significant.

deepdwn is great. It's in my rotation of like five different text editors I swap between to keep the dopamine flowing.

This one pops into my head pretty regularly, as a fiber arts person. 😄

me trying to have a chill Saturday while also knowing facts and information about the world

I think I need to finally read @charliejane.bsky.social's Never Say You Can't Survive. The world is making my depression worse, which makes me not want to write, which makes my depression worse etc. I need to do _something_ to get out of this vicious cycle.

Hey.👋 Release your tongue from the roof of your mouth. Relax your jaw. Relax your shoulders and neck. Breathe awhile.

"autism is on the rise" no no no we have always been here, friend, are u not familiar with our work

How we talk about outer space shapes the futures we imagine and build. Indigenous perspectives offer a better way forward. Out today: collaborative piece by myself and William Grant, promoted by the revival in rhetoric of space as the “manifest destiny” of the US. theconversation.com/for-too-long...

This takes "be gay, do crimes" to previously unimagined levels

Eventually you have to accept that no matter how many different notebooks you buy, they won’t make you a better writer. For that, you need to spend a lot of money on the right pen.

Finally, employment advice we can all use.

"In fact, the extent to which a society has low poverty seems to be almost inversely related to how much of their welfare state is specifically focused on “the poor” through means-tested benefits." www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2025/08/29/t...

A reminder that alt text is not only a disability aid but can also be used to provide information a potential audience might be missing

Losing my fucking mind at this lmao

“Sapphic” romance book: “And then she stared at her friend, perhaps with longing or even forbidden desire, before turning back to the most bland man imaginable for the rest of her days.” Me: “NO. GO BACK AND GNAW ON HER TITTY!” 🤬

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

if you're unfamiliar with Quaker speak, "We find this to be an attempt at lobbying by stealth, outside the discernment discipline of the Yearly Meeting, and an unhelpful method of communication – as outlined in Quaker Faith and Practice 03.04." is how you say 'fuck you and the horse you rode in on'

My fellow authors outside the US! My brethren! Behold and rejoice, for it seems we can *also* sue Anthropic.

For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.

If people actually cared about art and artists, they'd be fighting for Universal Basic Income. That's what would actually stop us all getting burnt out.

This you @samkurd.bsky.social

Oh god no I learned about thinking enough to know that I hate thinking and just wish to look at animals

I DIDNT GO THROUGH THREE YEARS OF A PHILOSOPHY DEGREE FOR PEOPLE TO DRIBBLE OUT PISS POOR HALF-BAKED THEORIES OF MIND ABOUT A HUGE FINANCIAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL CON

Clearly, Women‘s voices and engagement in democracy don’t matter. The Hampstead Women’s Pond user group has repeatedly upheld that Trans Women are welcome to swim in the Hampstead Women’s Pond. What matters instead of democratic process is having the money for expensive lawyers to litigate.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

A landlord turned off Tenant Client's family's heat upon learning Client was an immigrant. Landlord hired three different law firms to argue this was legal, then fired each one after they couldn't get our case dismissed. This week, landlord settled for enough that Client will buy a house.

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read

An excellent no nonsense statement from the Women's Institute.

I realized that AI artists have the same vibes as that guy on reddit who wanted his wife to introduce him as a pilot because he played flight simulator a lot

We are now into, what, year five or six of 'WHO will be the next actor to kiss Titty Bumshower and the wiley Anya Coksbigenov in seminal masterpiece The Gun That Was Also Some Sex'?

I'm sorry, but I need you to see this rock that looks like a sandwich that I just found on Instagram.
