If you need help coming up with a 'hypotheses' you shouldn't be a scientist. Every scientist I know has 100 project ideas and lack time to get to them. No on is sitting around twiddling thumbs without an interesting question to ask. We are in the dumbest timeline.

'You can't compel our speech - we have freedom of speech' shout right-wing fascists saying LGBT+ people they have mental illnesses, while telling other people what they can and cannot have in their email signatures

For the start of LGBT+ History month, I'd like to reflect back to when US DEI initiatives led to networks supporting LGBT+ employees, gender identities were legally recognised, and social media prevented anti-gay hate speech. The past was more progressive. www.stonewall.org.uk/news/trumps-...

Been told by a teacher in Stroud (England) that kids at her school have been doing the Hitler salute as modelled by Elon Musk. They thought it was funny. The ripples a single hateful action can have in today's connected world are vast, profound and far reaching.

-Gay things- When I was 10 on a school trip, I remember two boys from my class sniggering behind me, when I turned round one asked: 'Why do you talk like that?' I was confused. 'Like what?' They giggled, did a theatrical hand gesture and made their voice all soft and bouncy. 'Like whaaat?'

Somewhere between 5,000 - 15,000 homosexual men were sent to the concentration camps. The death rate for these men may have been as high as 60%. The liberation of the concentration camps did not grant liberty to these men, many of them were reimprisoned under buggery laws. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

She isn't wrong: “It is outdated that we have legislative scrutiny carried out by representatives of one Christian denomination. The only other legislature that has religious theocrats as members by right is Iran” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

As has been demonstrated in recent days, big business was always a false friend to our community. The corporate involvement in Pride needs to end. Now, more than ever, we must get back to Pride’s roots as a protest movement. The party is over. The fight needs to begin again.

As the 5th anniversary of Brexit approaches, here's the chillingly methodical moment when the UK flag was removed from the EU Council building in Brussels. Since then, not a single Brexit promise has come true. #BrexitHasFailed

It is very important to understand that Jews were never the only target of the 1930s Nazis and they are not the only targets of today’s Nazis. A Nazi salute is not only antisemitic. It is also racist, ableist, and queerphobic.

Trump has pulled the security of former government officials we know are under threat simply because he doesn't like them. And he's done it at the same time as released a load of very angry, very violent, likely highly armed individuals who are loyal to him. It is dark stuff.

This article is being shared quite a bit for the "40% of postdocs leave academia" statement, but I think it's worth digging into the correlation between publication metrics and success, as it's missing some discussion here 📖👀 #AcademicSky 1/

The number of countries that criminalise homosexuality has gone back up to 65. Mali, under military control since 2020, has just made homosexuality illegal with lengthy prison sentences for same sex sexual activity or actions that ‘promote’ homosexuality. www.mambaonline.com//2025/01/18/...

“Musk is amplifying a slew of incorrect and misleading information. His concern about the subject doesn’t extend to being truthful when addressing it.” How is this consistent with him retaining fellowship of the @royalsociety.org? www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

This is why we need to start reclaiming Pride as a protest, not a big party funded by companies and multinationals whose pinkwashing and ‘allyship’ has always been transitory and conditional. Big fights lie ahead and, as a community, we need to get back to our roots of protest and activism.

I posted this here and on Twitter (no I'm never calling it that) and the difference in responses is... Stark! Really stark. I feel like I'm running a social experiment when I post something on both: 'Just how right wing has Twitter become over the past six months?'
