My little Cornish junior school had a rather ambiguous and wonderful motto and logo which it retains: A crown and an axe 👑🪓 motto: REMEMBER I had a version made for my sister for her birthday a couple of years ago! Thought it rather appropriate for today’s #NoKings protests

@marthawells.com My family is now up to episode 6 of #Murderbot and we are LOVING it! For me the stand out performance is Dastmalchian as Gurathin (a role I honestly thought would be very hard to get right!) but Skarsgård is also remarkable—amazing stuff! Love the rest of them too! But text limit!

In a bit of positive, I *finally* got a chance to sit down and watch the new MurderBot show by @marthawells.com "Just the first episode" I told myself... Next thing I knew I was yelling at the television, "NO I DON'T WANNA WAIT A WEEK FOR ANOTHER EP!" As a *lover* of the books, It was EXCELLENT

There are several loki stories I can't retell directly for kids, one being the goat based comedy routine loki pulls for Skadi, the other being Lokasenna aka the one where he calls everyone slags. (Done a version of the latter where the insults are less Danny Dyeresque but can't do a faithful one)

In Nature Human Behaviour, Peter Gleick calls on scientists who are able and willing to do so to speak out publicly against the Trump administration’s attack on science, and argues that although dissent carries risks, it is riskier to stay silent. go.nature.com/3FIV7cC 🧪

The news from America - and the reporting on it - is giving me The Deep Fear. Just a real strong "fucking hell this is obviously what this is, dear God how can it be stopped" and, like, lol. I can't stop it! I'm thirty or forty years old and I live in the UK! All i can do is AAAAAGGGGGGGH

In exasperation the academic declared that no one is willing to admit the danger is real until it comes for them, so I asked her if she was referring to the climate crisis or the ongoing pandemic, to the rise of fascism or some other danger, and the academic replied: yes.

I don’t think non physicians realize how for real physicians, vaccines is a controversy like flat earth or creationism or birds aren’t real "No true Scotsman" actually holds here it's hard to really describe how baffling this is, how frustrating its been to see grow and how high the price will be

I am honestly heartbroken This is a nightmare The truth is that vaccines work, they save literally millions of lives every year If you’re anti-vaccine you are pro-disease and death It’s that simple #vaccineswork

If you can, get vaccines you haven't gotten yet asap. And if you have children/youth, get them the HPV vaccine while you can, as anything to do with reproductive health (especially specifically for girls/women) is always at high risk to be taken away.
