This is a solar eclipse. Seen from the surface of Mars by the Perseverance rover in 2022. That moon is the little space potato Phobos. And you can even see sunspots!

To make this a little easier I did a post with all the Murderbot cast and production interviews I've linked to recently: marthawells.dreamwidth.org/665781.html #murderbot

Ooh, check this out!

This is such a perfect example of a society saying it understands climate risks but objectively demonstrating that it absolutely does not...! #climatescience #climaterisk

Sounds absurd to assert that a person's desire to know what my genitals are is more important than my desire to keep my genitals private but here we are.

Calvin & Hobbes is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic strips of all time and I feel like we STILL underrate it.

FINALLY a good use for Lime bikes

Great to experience the EDI meeting at #TNC25 being opened with the statement that Trans Women are Women, Trans Men are Men and Trans Rights are Human Rights. Enthusiastic agreement from the room.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

Your reminder that pressure to curb trans people's rights to use public loos opens up everyone's manner, clothing etc to intrusive scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. History also shows allowing erasure of rights for one group soon sees others targeted. This is not a 'them' issue.

We need to heed the promptings of love and truth in our hearts and speak up now. We believe that genocide is underway in Gaza. We use this word with the aim of opening eyes, minds and hearts. We use it in the deep hope that the actions it describes will stop. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

If you have been stopped, challenged or harassed when using a single-sex space (such as toilets or changing rooms) since the UK's Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act. We need to hear from you. Let us know at: tinyurl.com/ReportALoo25 #Trans #Transgender #Nonbinary #Queer #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ

Who could have seen this coming…

Hi @biggreenbooks.bsky.social - how much is this in the UK?

“We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.” - Douglas Adams

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Set the "techbros reinvented the bus" timer back to zero

The kids on Tumblr know what's what

For Starmer to say that immigration has done "incalculable damage" to the UK is as wrong as it is evil.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Although it would please me enormously if UK citizens in general were apprised of the importance of quality care providers & the significance of appropriate rewards & reimbursements. Taking care of vulnerable people is barely recognised as work, but it’s literally the essence of civilisation.

Salt Lake City! They made the city flags pride flags so you can't get in trouble for hanging them in your classroom

At least 8 spokes on the back wheel of my bike snapped under me this afternoon. Luckily I was only about 0.5km into my 8.8km journey so walking it back didn't take forever.

This is bad. Really, viciously bad.

Lots of very high profile UK biologists sign a letter saying that biological sex isn't binary or immutable and that the Supreme Court's ruling is scientifically wrong! We really need to hammer home how the anti-trans side is anti-science (you can add your name still if you are in a relevant field)

@ailbhe.ossifrage.net I just showed this to J.

39% of traffic in the City of London is now made up of cyclists, more than any other mode of transport on the roads. www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/ped...

A trans woman wrote to Wetherspoons to ask which toilets they're meant to use. Wetherspoons replied acknowledging the Supreme Court's verdict...and that trans customers can use whichever loos they want to but to please lock the cubicle door. Labour now being outflanked on the left by Wetherspoons.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
