Okay, I've been wanting to say something about how I don't think art is for escapism (not in the way most people mean, i.e. "Art is for distracting me from the horrors for a while") but THIS? This I agree with. This feels like the antithesis to distraction.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Conversion practices breach human rights and have no place in Scotland. That is why this Valentine's Day we are showing our support for a Bill in Scotland to end these practices to protect LGBTQA+ people from harm. @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social @scottishtrans.bsky.social #EndConversionPracticesScotland

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Disgraceful surrender of public realm to commercial purpose that makes walking and wheeling harder and leaves streets less accessible. Another reason to provide long term, regular funding for walking, wheeling and cycling so councils aren’t tempted to do this to our streets. 👇

🌈 First up in our LGBTQ+ History Month series, we honour Ivor Cummings, a Black British civil servant who helped welcome the Windrush Generation. A gay man in 20th century Britain, he navigated adversity with resilience, leaving a lasting mark on both Black British and LGBTQ+ history.

LGBT+ rights were won over decades through activism, struggle and solidarity. But now more than ever we see powerful forces working to divide us and roll them back, while others stand aside. Human rights are non-negotiable. They must be at the heart of Scotland's future. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
