Do this. Poisoning their data sets helps women all over.

Historian of crime, death and women here. The law these women are being persecuted is the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act. It is 164 years old. It was introduced when women had no pregnancy tests, no ultrasound scans.

We also offer some free ticket to those who can't afford a ticket this year. (People can choose to donate free tickets as well) Just shoot me an email (details on tickettailor). No need to tell me why.

Water is wet research. But it needs to be said.

This is an impressively weird plant. I may have to crochet one.

This is a great read. Although it will sadly ruin many a secret passage plot. Really entertaining.

And yet the "debate" is never framed this way. It's always migrants exploiting us - never the reality, which is US exploiting THEM.

Glad to see this getting picked up.

Please enjoy this stock photo the local CBS affiliate chose for a story about traffic this summer

Today (Thursday 15th of May) is Global Accessibility Awareness day. A couple of things you can do on Bluesky to help accessibility is to us CamelBack hashtags, e.g. #MondayReads, where each word is capitalised. and use alt text on your images, this can be set in settings Both help screen readers

First Knight. Poor Guinevere. No-one should have to lose sexy Scottish King Arthur and spend their life with a timotei ad Lancelot. Teenage me was most upset.

I thought we had Aladdin's lamp in our house. I was convinced the genii only responded between owners so I used to sneak out and rub it at odd hours hoping someone had just used their 3rd wish.

add neopagans, people into black metal, people into european folklore

I adore @marthawells.com's writing, discovered via the #Murderbot series. This interview is a delightful window on her process. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ0w... Also... I desperately want a Sanctuary Moon t-shirt. To the point I've considered hiring a friend to come up with a design.

Just listened to ep one of Who broke the Internet? Another blinder from #CoryDoctorow Now i know why my 2019-2020 work was getting harder & harder. Costs were up. Clicks down. 1/2 our websites went invisible overnight & google wouldn't tell us what changed. www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...

A wonderful author and a joy to follow on tumblr. The best cat pics, wonderful recipes and a font of knowledge. Gnu peter morwood.

Yup. When you see a blue light in the burial mound, you board up your doors and chimney. Don't go digging for treasure!

A&E services scaled back😲 The same services that still haven’t recovered from Tory under investment and a pandemic. Is that because Private Health Care won’t touch them? Not profitable

Got young kids? The current Horrible Histories team have made a spinoff series with the same cast - expect jokes, facts, and wigs👇

Had to clamber over a barbed wire fence, rip my coat and trespass to get a photo of this folkloric monster pretending half-successfully to be a tree. I have no regrets.

Let me be clear, this new Pope can be as “woke” as he likes, the fact is he has a history of shielding pedophiles and failing to protect victims of CSA. If you don't see that as a red line, then you need to ask yourself some serious questions.

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

The tables had been laid beautifully. Friar Butty's great plum and maple pudding dominated all; it stood above the fresh loaves of wheat, oat, and barley bread, golden brown crusts glowing.

I know a lot of people who could fall for this, and it might have been me if I hadn’t seen this thread.

Pure, nonsensical cruelty from the DWP. For 6 years, without telling her, they let this mother unknowingly earn 83p-£1.92p per week too much as a dinner lady while juggling caring for her son with severe autism. Then they slammed her with a bill for £10k. Vile. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

VICTORY, THEY FUCKING PROVED THE COVID/MAST CELL LINK IS THE SPIKE PROTEIN I HAVE A CONCLUSIVE PAPER TO SHOW PEOPLE WHO WHINE AT ME ABOUT MY FUCKING DIPHENHYDRAMINE PRE-VACCINE ADVICE NOW

Stop Forcing A.I. Into Every Fucking Thing!

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

With @scalzi.com and others curating their spaces to encourage the use of alt text and other accessibility features, here’s a reminder about @veron4ica.com’s “capybara method” and other tools.
