People speak about Gazans like they are so different. A year and a half ago Waseem was an accountant in a home appliance company. He had a comfortable home- he now spent $300 to put up a tent next to its ruins. He waited this long to ask for help because he didn’t want to. He could be you or me.

It took me a very long time to learn "do your best" does not mean "give 100% effort even at the expense of your physical or mental health" or "give A+ effort even when it is clearly not appreciated or valued". Sometimes doing your best is heating up a can of soup and going to bed early.

Mexican cannonball jellies is so surreal they look almost fake, with a chandelier-like mouth and deep blue color. But this species is also the target of an active & largely unregulated fishery, which collapsed around 2017. But recent posts from citizen scientists provide hope of a blueberry comeback

I see people are still annoyed about the Gaza fundraisers. Let me make you more annoyed, maybe it will move you to say or do something: There are 116,000 tons of food (more but that's just WFP) positioned outside of the gates of Gaza. If Israel would let all the aid in, nobody would need to beg

I work in scam prevention. I want to call out something I really, really appreciated in the latest @leverageredemption.bsky.social episode: They stressed that the victim of the grandparent scam was extremely smart and capable, and that absolutely anyone can get got.

Gaza is “on brink of catastrophe” as aid runs out and prices soar. Within hours of the ceasefire ending in March, Israel blocked food, fuel, and medicine from entering Gaza. Aid warehouses are now empty. This is collective punishment by any other name. 2 million Palestinians are being starved.

Disabled women know more than most how blocking access to toilets isn’t a minor inconvenience - it’s a form of segregation from everyday life. It is turning down drinks with friends as you worry you can’t fulfil a basic human need if you go out. And knowing society has made the choice not to care.

Okay today has been... several kinds of terrible, but fortunately a) I cannot be killed by such ordinary means and b) a friend bought me a SECOND SHARK BED with a MUCH funnier face than the original and, well, it's got kind of a weird shadow in it already --

Anyang Museum in Henan Province finished restoration on a local tomb mural depicting a black and white cat (note the bell collar!). Belonging to official Zhao Yigong, the tomb was completed in 829 CE; it's thought to be the earliest Chinese tomb mural of a domestic cat. #caturday

In terms of the EHRC being an entirely reactionary organisation, it's worth remembering that they have repeatedly refused to launch an investigation into benefit deaths - www.disabilitynewsservice.com/equality-wat...

great thread on how to do bystander intervention so that you and the victim get out of the situation safely and smoothly, as is the goal. your role as the "friend" is to be between the TERF and her victim, have safety in numbers, and show the victim she's not alone, not to be the one yelling instead

I am terrified about all this, but it's also worth noting that it's unlikely to end with benefits claimants. I honestly think this is yet another case of the right piloting unwarranted intrusions into citizens' lives on stigmatised population. Hmmm, where else have we heard that this week?

How on earth do you go about explaining to people that your life will not get better or even change at all in any tangible way because of what the Supreme Court and EHRC have said, but my life and those of many of my pals will get worse?

The EHRC was captured by transphobes under the Tories and Labour could have appointed a new head but they did not, because they are also transphobic. Bigoted shits, the lot of them.

Looks like there is another fundraiser for specific action by GLP against the government minister, Phillipson over the adoption of EHRC "guidance" It has just hit £60K, which in legal terms is not much, especially since the government will try and spin out any case to increase costs. Please donate

For people wondering why the UK's Equality And Human Rights Commission is acting counter to human rights, I'll c+p a combination of threads from a couple of years ago. They cover the systemic attack on many marginalised communities by idealogues trying to dismantle human rights law. 1/

I really need you all to appreciate how magnificent the cat at the Latvian Railway Museum is. Not pictured: all the toddlers he hissed at and made cry when they tried to approach him. Their own fault. He was on guard by the door. He clearly takes this shit seriously.

Today is my favourite bank holiday in Portugal: on the 25th of April, 1974, the Portuguese military went out to the streets and toppled four decades of Fascist dictatorship. Firing no shots, they instead put carnations at the end of their guns, hence the Carnation Revolution. 1/6
