An update on the withholding of suicide data🧵 Remember how in Dec 2024, after 5 months of chasing NHS England and the DHSC as to whether Alice's data was sent to the DHSC for a report into trans youth suicide by Prof Appleby, I made a FOI of the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust to ask them...

New Coppola Comment post. The government's Green Paper on benefit reforms aims to eliminate the divide between "deserving" and "undeserving" poor that has dominated policy for 600 years. But all it really does is change the definitions. coppolacomment.substack.com/p/the-deserv...

No matter how slippery the SpaceX fans get in their defenses ("you don't understand, we learned so much!") the fact is these tests are waaaaay past the "experiments sometimes fail" stage. These are tests of what's supposed to be a working design and build. But it doesn't work. It blows up.

sam is great & nuanced in her coverage of this ridiculous & against-california-law “compromise” in which a trans girl athlete (who was stalked by right wing hate groups & mentioned specifically on the newsom/kirk podcast) gets to compete…in separate but equal category…under a degrading label.

The far right are coming for abortion in the UK. People said it would never happen. But it is a natural consequence of the reactionafu anti-feminist politics we have allowed to fester - even if it has been dressed up as "sex-based rights". Time to fight back. www.thenational.scot/news/2519525...

i cannot emphasize enough how transphobia is above all an elite panic phenomenon. the reason knowing a trans person tends to turn normal peoples opinions around is bc transphobia is not a strongly held one for most people. its the elite columnists, pundits, politicians, etc this doesnt hold true for

When Galileo’s body was exhumed in 1737, three of his fingers were removed. One is encased in a glass egg in the Galileo Museum in Florence. Most people think of relics as religious objects. Yet, there are many “secular relics" related to science, medicine, and art. Can you think of some examples?

It's #BookQW and this week's word is DEEP, which is lucky for me as half of Cursed Under London is set in the Deepside City under London (hence the title). So here, have Lazare taking the Tube to the Deepside for the first time.

Prof Jovanna Dahlgren and Prof Riitakertuu Kaltiala are, in case you hadn't guessed, open campaigners against trans rights in Sweden and Finland. The "new evidence" contradicts decades of existing evidence saying the opposite, because it was commissioned to do so. Malpractice in real time.

I understand the “why are you asking me” feeling, but I’d say they may be asking you because - to pick just one thing - you wrote a wildly reckless article saying that not allowing the IDF to flatten however much of Gaza was actually cruel to the people they were slaughtering, because of Hamas.

I transitioned in the 90s, in the first 10 years after that we had: Dana International winning the Eurovision Hayley on Corrie Nadia on BB I'm not saying there was no controversy at the time, but today it would be absolutely inconceivable that any of them would be allowed on air
