Today's a good day to remember Rosalind Franklin, British chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose untimely death meant three men shared a Nobel prize for discovering the structure of DNA for which she'd done most of the work.

LEGO posted this cute video for the launch of their first official #StarTrek set today #LEGO

Halloween over...must be Christmas?🙈 There are few people & causes that could get me out my grinch mode & into Christmas gear in November👀 A dull rainy Monday brightened up with a little bit of filming for Who Cares? Christmas Day 🎁❤️🎅🎄 www.whocaresscotland.org/donate/?fbcl...

Working Thomas Cromwell’s River. I’m surrounded by maps and nautical navigation charts and notes. Plus Wolf Hall on audio.

Because it’s cis kids. The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇 No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

I really couldn't ask for a better review 😊 #TheWisdomOfTea #EveryDayAGoodDay 🍵 #NorikoMorishita (Thought it was time I advertised my work here) www.dailymail.co.uk/home/books/a...

Lee Anderson can fuck right off, and keep fucking off forever.

Series of horrifying bird photos with EXCELLENT alt text. Enjoy, my dears, and thank you, @rspb.bsky.social, for the Halloween inclusion 💘

I have looked upon the works that were in an antique land and which you were probably saving for eternity Forgive me they were decayed so boundless and so bare

Look at this quoted post and click through to the posts quoting it and the posts quoting them. I love these chains. Trees. Brambles of creativity.

Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as “doing reading the wrong way.”

This is one of my favourite silhouettes, the sharp structure created by a c1790 redingote. It has the trappings of male tailoring whilst retaining the contemporary expectations of femininity. And as for the fabric….. #LACMA #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I'm extremely Scottish white, and I'm auntie to my hijab-wearing friend's three lovely daughters. I see them maybe every couple of years for a day or two. We're not related, but I'm still their auntie. Unrelated aunties and uncles exist, but the NY Post is just looking for clicks, right.

Okay. I have bin bags, rubber gloves, face mask, eucalyptus catarrh tablets, and a spade. One more cup of tea and I'm going in.

You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

1. A new journal report in the prestigious Medical Journal of Australia eviscerates the Cass review, saying it is filled with fallacies and launders anti-trans disinformation. It methodically goes through each problem in the review. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism

It is 22 minutes past 7 in the evening and I'm getting ready for bed. Truly, being a teacher is rockstar life.

The interesting opposite of this is General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord. Post-WW1 titan of the German army. Who Hitler DESPERATELY courted. von Hammerstein is one of only 3 figures believed to have told Hitler to fuck off to his face. He even thwarted Nazi attempts to politicize his own death. /1 🧵

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

@hirschi.bsky.social Yes, I send you all the hairy coos I see.

You kick Miette? You kick Miette like the football? Oh! Oh! Jail for Mother! Jail for Mother for one thousand years!

Best Hogmanay munchies ever! Haggis pakora, how I love thee.

Star trek strange new worlds has been bought by itvx for any uk fans who don't want to bother with paramount plus. Spread the word.

Cowboy Junkies with their album "Black Eyed Man", released in 1992. "Lay It Down" is another amazing album, released in 1996. Stand out songs: Southern Rain, Murder Tonight In The Trailer Park, and their cover of To Live Is To Fly. But they're all great.

Zulu Bohemian Rhapsody

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)
