They'd probably call it "the right to defend themselves"

Palestinian queer people have as much right to live in peace and dignity as Jewish queer people do. So, to reiterate:
No Pride For Some of Us Without Liberation For All of Us. ✊

Pride in Gaza doesn't happen, because oppressed people, who have to fear for their lives every day have no scope to celebrate their diversity, or even start that debate. to reiterate: Israel is killing queer people in Gaza and West Bank, a genocidal regime is no friend to queer people anywhere /6

But in case you somehow missed it, "Pride" parade in Israel hasn't been happening since Israel has started its genocidal assault on Gaza in 2023, and today's "Pride" has also been cancelled, since Israel has decided to focus on even more warmongering instead /5

Secondly, the image you post is AI, not reality, but I am not surprised since we have seen the extensive use of AI by Israeli govt propaganda machine, both to prop up their own lies, and to claim the imagery from Gaza is "ai generated"... /4

Here's a good primer on Israeli Pinkwashing from a Jewish perspective: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsgd... /3

...and a disgusting one too. Israel is ruled by far right, genocidal regime, it's indiscriminately bombing and killing civilians, queer or not, in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and now Iran. /2

What a load of bs.
First of all, trying to pinkwash Israel's crimes against humanity but that won't work, the queer community and wider public knows the truth. Israel aligns itself with racist, homophobic and authoritarian regimes around the world, waving the Pride flag is an empty gesture /1

I never read BNW (embarrassing, I know, not for the lack of trying!), so that analogy wouldn't occur to me, but it seems entirely apt!

I'm getting an "Access denied" message when trying to view this article, any idea what might be the reason?

It's small steps! I remember thinking I couldn't live without cheese, and now it's been over a decade and I don't miss it at all. I really recommend Meera Sodha's column in Guardian for some great veggie/vegan recipes, if you like cooking.

Congrats on quitting smoking! It was hands down best medical decision I have made. It's been around 9 years now! And vegetarianism too, that's brilliant 💕

Ha! I was just drinking coffee from my moomin mug and so I mindlessly typed moomin in the search bar here, and there appears a familiar face! Hi Paul!

Well that's a step in the right direction. Was getting sick of seeing Printables flooded with AI slop.

The latest version of "What's wrong with the Cass Review" now includes the peer-reviewed version of the Noone et al. article on critically appraising the Cass Review. I have also made some minor edits to the introduction, e.g. adding the fact that the Cass Review cost £3 million to undertake.

It would check out, they are usually ~ an inch. They are characterised by a thin, thread-like connection segment between the thorax and abdomen. They very rarely sting and are usually not aggressive, they have however caused plane crashes by building their mud nests inside pitot tubes :O

How big is it? I'm by no means an entomologist, but iflooks a bit like mud dauber, and if it is that, it's harmless (unless you're a spider), and a talented potter among the wasps
