wes streeting's real problem with the bma is that they told him the cass review is anti-science bollocks and that his policies are transphobic.

Seems there has been some co-ordination. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I've made some smaller beanie versions of the Devonian jawless fish - Zenaspis! At 25cm long, these are lifesize! www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/zenaspis I ship worldwide from the UK, US tariffs collected and pre-paid for easy delivery!

You see the thing with the “oi mate you got a license for that gender“ is that its not a special official gender cop, its any cis person who decides to express authority over you as a trans person

Yknow they very much tried to get me fired from being technician on the throwdown on telly i know they wrote to channel 4 and such and every year were outraged i was still allowed on screen for the crime of being trans

No, it’s the children who have humiliatingly and very publicly deranged their brains with Twitter dot com, while wandering drunkenly around their massive house

Kinda seems like the tendency of capitalism over time is to turn every machine into an orphan-crushing machine.

1725: Why the fuck did I lose my left hand for the same wages I earned while being 10x more productive than last year? Who the fuck is benefiting here? 2025: Why am I losing my job to a machine that encourages kids to kill themselves and can't actually do my job? Who the fuck is benefiting here?

Here is the front and back of Glumfry the Pond Troll I tried to sculpt lots of different textures so that hopefully he will be interesting to paint. (walls in the background by @fenrisgames.com nearby snails by @badsquiddogames.bsky.social and door is discontinued by Rackham)

who decided to call it Secret Santa when Nondisclosure Claus was right there

Poetry so powerful it can cause computers to break the Geneva Convention is one hell of a scifi novel concept. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"Sir, you make the sun come back after it disappears every day and nobody knows where it goes."

I find it very strange how a legal decision which relates solely to gender recognition certificates – something under 18s definitively cannot have – is being used to justify changes to longstanding policies on including trans kids.

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.

Not far from my hotel is the absurdly blingy 18th century Late Baroque private chapel Asamkirche, home to a golden skeleton brandishing scissors to cut the cord of life..!

A lot of transphobic whataboutism is just straight up trying to make being a bigot sound like a legit position asked in good faith. Nope, same old horseshit.

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

Voting is over and I’m delighted to announce the winner of the November mini of the month competition is this wonderful piece by @sheroqueer.com Congratulations! New comp begins this evening #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

with deference to the obvious truth that the whole thing is a bizarre transphobic sting operation, having failed to make it through the first para of the ‘assignment’, I am baffled that the individual in question ever managed to get within half a mile of a university in the first place

New record of Danarma eurymerus has just been reported. u-ryukyu.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/20216... I'd like to correct my previous ID of the Pokémon like crabs found in Okinawa; they also seem to be Danarma eurymerus. 日本からルリメベンケイガニ(新称)が報告されました。私の過去写真も本種のようですので訂正します。 🦀🦑🧪 #crab #カニ #invertebrate

Today, let's celebrate a drawn and illuminated crane that functions as a pointing gesture to a new paragraph (in a fourteenth century manuscript). It looks like he is walking into the text, right? #bookhistory

@cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social hey, I thought you might appreciate this 3D render I made 8 years ago lol

Crabs are endlessly fascinating. Check out this cool one with her blue eyes - wearing a beautiful green crab like a fancy hat! #tidepool #maui #crustacean #crabs #nature #love #cool #goodmorning #nokings #marinelife #ocean #hawaii 🦀🦑

I'm terrible at self-marketing but I will say that if you want to buy prints, today is a pretty good day to do it. Also if there's something you want a print of that I haven't uploaded yet, let me know (I'm very behind on updating!) #SciArt #BirdArt #bskynightmarket www.inprnt.com/gallery/tiny...
