They/them. British, insufferable, terrible at writing bios. Has pretensions to being an author, an artist, and some sort of socialist. More info https://mollywarton.neocities.org

Post your favourite Doctor Who. Wrong answers only.

BREAKING🚨 -We've investigated the financial links between MPs and the private health sector, and can now announce which MP received the highest donation amount from individuals+companies with links to the private health sector between 2023-2025. It's Wes Streeting. Our Health Secretary. £179,575🚨

can Labour please, please just tot up the number of voters with a) more than ten million quid and b) less than ten million quid, and do the fucking maths on what the country would prefer.

From pictures it looks like about a sixth of the population of Serbia are on the streets in a protest wave sparked by the fatal collapse of a train station owing to austerity and corruption. When Grenfell Tower burned the British people's reaction was "Yeah, sad, whatever. What's on the telly?"

Tough Choices!

Having tackled other societal menaces, such as disabled adults and transgender children, Starmer announced yesterday that he’d be forming a posse to erase every last galago, before they can get their tiny paws on our precious bananas.

Amazing things happening to language and meaning over at @theguardian.com

And this is a gay man who turned 18 the year AIDS first came to public attention. He's not ignorant here. (Also, in the quotes he also calls out transphobia, not that you'd know it from the Guardian headline which only talks about gay people.)

If your business can't function without theft, then your business should not exist. Bye bye, shithead.

Today in the #925Universe, I take you through the politically confusing Land of Oz with a thorough explanation of the Cardinal Witch situation. It's like Wicked with less singing or purpose! ninetwofiveuniverse.wordpress.com/2025/03/16/a...

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter: (1) your haters are trash (2) you’re a baller, a true queen (3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds

I've spent the last three weeks running around non-stop helping deal with family medical issues, and rent is due. We're about $450 short. I'd planned on launching part 2 of our medical costs fundraiser by now, but the reasons for it have been too time consuming. Gracias. www.paypal.me/jameswylder

Very sketchy animatic of #FactionParadox: Coming to Dust

There are about as many intersex people in the world as there are redheads— ~1.7% of the world's population. So claiming there are only two biological sexes is like claiming there are only two hair colors: Brown & Yellow. Now consider how you'd regard someone who loudly & repeatedly insisted that…

In the almost certainly misplaced hope that it will do some good, I’m going to explain why your medical thing needs to NOT DO THIS.

And if you're not working, Keir Starmer wants it to be clear: Labour is reshaping the state to be even more insecure & hostile for disabled people. A total lack of compassion, humanity - at the same time refusing to even talk about the inequality which is breaking our country.

Enid Blyton is really running out of ideas

IF. YOU. LIKE. SOMETHING. SAY. SOMETHING. I know so many people who are like "well I don't know what to say so I just don't" and like _anything_ If you don't say anything, the artist will often just... stop.

I have told this story before, but bringing it here. This street has footway parking on both sides which gives 1 metre of walking space beyond the lines. But, if drivers obey the markings, you can't get a car up the middle. Because residents kept getting tickets, I was asked to look at it. 1/n

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

Your reminder that legislation to curb the rights of trans people to use restrooms or do anything else means everyone's behaviour, clothing etc will be opened up to intrusive and unwanted scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. This is not a 'them' issue. Trans rights are human rights.

📷 This NASA/ESA #Hubble Space Telescope image shows spiral galaxy NGC 4900 and a prominent star. They appear to be close to each other, but the star is in our own galaxy, a mere 7109 light-years away, and the galaxy is about 45 million light-years away 🔭 esahubble.org/images/potw2...

Me on my best day as a writer: “I’m only getting started. I’m gonna put in the work and get better.” Me on my worst day as a writer: “I’m only getting started. I’m gonna put in the work and get better.” Put in the work. Don’t settle. Never quit.

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them." It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

Some days you just wanna give up , let everything go and follow the light inside of a red cabbage

Huw Stephens just said "everybody has one book that they have but have never got round to reading." One book. *Stares at piles of to be read books scattered around the houses*

I remember my language tutor talking about the arbitrary, non-intrinsic nature of linguistic signifiers. He took a big heavy book and demonstrated by ruffling the pages etc. that there was nothing there to relate it to the phonemes of "book". Then he slammed it triumphantly shut. It went "bk".

I see Labour have admitted out loud that they interpret being "the party of workers" as meaning they're not the party of children, the elderly, the disabled, carers, the chronically ill, asylum seekers, etc. They don't want your votes and they don't respect your lives.

What is to be done? Tax billionaires until the pips squeak. They have proved that democracy cannot survive fortunes that vast. And if they resist being reduced to their last million, À la lanterne!

It kills me that there's enough for everyone. Enough food. Enough housing. Enough medicine. Enough money. Enough everything. It takes active choices to stop everyone from having enough so a very, very few can have far too much.

Some beauty .. (sound on..) 🎶🥰🎵 Archaeologist Dr. Jean-Loup Ringot specialized in prehistoric music demonstrates a Lithophone.
