Again, the richest man in human history personally individually directed this

Regardless of whether you support increasing defence spending, this - and indeed any policy - should never be paid for by the poorest, either in the UK or overseas. This is a political choice, not a necessity, and it is the wrong one.

I’m reposting this because it NEEDS UK based trans folk AND ALLIES to consider signing it - please It is the only way we will get that conversation with the DHSC & NHS England

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

As a father of five kids, I totally agree with this evergreen post.

There may be a ceasefire in Gaza, but Israel continues to attack and kill Palestinians in the West Bank. This week, Israeli forces killed at least 10 people in Jenin and besieged a government hospital and a refugee camp. We must end arms sales to Israel and implement sanctions.

Today I will only be engaging in penguin related news i.e. www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/news/edinbur...

The news is bad but on the bright side it is international penguin awareness day. Penguins: Are you aware of them?

Hello new followers! Here's one of my favorite older comics.

You've got to hand it to Elon Musk - getting 71% of British people to agree on anything is impressive

In these trying times I invite you to gaze upon the void

Merry Christmas to all from this rather uncomfortable looking frog 🎄✉️🐸

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a … ’ Hold that thought! Here’s a Roman bronze figurine of a little mouse nibbling on bread! Squeak squeak! 🐭❤️ Landesmuseum Württemberg, Stuttgart. 📷 by me #Archaeology🏺

Leave a colander on your doorstep to thwart the Kallikantzaroi (Greek Christmas goblins), who emerge during epiphany. Καλά Χριστούγεννα!

Begging these people to read a fucking history book

Britain continues to export parts for the world's most lethal fighter jets that Israel is using to bomb Gaza. Britain should not be complicit in Israeli war crimes. At Parliament, I joined a cross-party group of MPs calling for our Government to end all arms sales to Israel.

Does anyone know any good sources from the last year on properly recovering from covid? I've read the NHS page on it, but since the UK's response to covid has been so inconsistent I'd like a second source.

Reminder: On this day, four years ago, the Tories held a lockdown Christmas party while 250,000 British people died. Never forgive, never forget.

A really good thread about how the current news on Greg Wallace is a demonstration of larger institutional issues.

I feel I've been remiss in not yet posting any pictures of my cats.

Girlfriend, While reading Mary Beard in bed: "I forgot how much I love reading about the punic war."

Hugely significant report from @amnesty.org finds Israel has perpetrated 3 acts against Palestinians in Gaza which are prohibited under genocide convention Overwhelming case for full UK arms sales ban & for UK to fulfil duty to prevent further genocide vimeo.com/1035909869 @amnestyuk.bsky.social
