Cats come in different sexes. Still, the author insists on making male cats the default via pronouns. The same can be said about vets and owners. You’d think we had come further in writing from 2022. #TheCompleteGuideToMaineCoons #JordanHoneycutt #BookChat #booksky #MaineCoons #cats #sexism

Obstruct justice, overthrow democratic elections, sexually assault someone, mishandle classified documents, lie about all of it, be elected President, be acquitted. Repeat. #trump

The Conservatives, #CDU/CSU, in #Germany may have won the election, but the far-right #AlternativeFürDeutschland, #AfD, doubled their support and became the second largest party. That is not a win for democracy, and it's high time we counter the simplistic solutions AfD has to complex issues.

According to a poll, Americans now say 2:1 that Musk having such a prominent role in the Trump administration is a problem. A little late now, don’t we think? #musk #trump

Faye skillfully weaves herself in and out of the text, letting facts contextualize the personal and infusing research findings with lived experience. It offers a whole but feels unfinished. There is more life to be shared. There are more voices to be heard. #LoveInExile #ShonFaye #BookChat #booksky

This is an amazing service that @lner.co.uk provides to their customers, but can we please talk about #MenstrualProducts as menstrual products and not euphemize it as if it were shameful and bad? It’s just blood. #FeministFriday #ItsJustBlood #PackageForAFriend #LNER

It feels promising every time I see photos of non-straight couples used in contexts that are not specifically to do with LGBTQ+ issues. (No, not the preview photo, but the one on the actual page.) #ForeverEdinburgh #edinburgh #LGBTQ #representation

The US now has a Health Secretary who’s an antivaxxer and replaces science with conspiracy theories. Just as H5N1 is striking broadly. #H5N1 #BirdFlu #RFKJr

In a time when strong voices for #diversity, #equality, and #inclusion are needed more than ever, #Google chooses to compromise their integrity and values and to cave in for a populist megalomaniac and his lackeys. It’s nothing if not tragic. #BlackHistoryMonth #pride #DEI

For those of us who remember the Cold War, statements like this are downright Soviet or Maoist in tone. Denying people the right to embrace and express their true selves was how the regimes kept their populations demoralized and subjugated. #TransRights

Jag bryr mig inte om ideologisk tillhörighet eller partipolitisk färg. Jag har väldigt lite tålamod med politiker som ignorerar fakta och hävdar motsatsen. Man kan inte redan ha överskridit sin egen prognos OCH säga sig vilja invänta #utsläpp #klimatkris #RominaPourmokthari #lördagsintervjun

Trying to stem the exodus of over 9,000 women in their 30s, in 2013 alone, from teaching, schools in #England boost #MaternityPay. Just a thought. If we value the work women do and pay them accordingly maybe we wouldn’t have to take to last-minute measures to avoid a collapse. #FeministFriday

Access to financial support from parents should not be a factor in whether or not a person can pursue a job role via an internship. A healthy workforce can't afford to shut out young people from working-class backgrounds. #SocialMobility #GraduateCareers #ClassIssues

So, according to Marjorie Taylor Greene, there can be no unity until Democrats write checks to Republicans and vote for Trump’s agenda. That’s not unity. That’s dictatorship. #MarjorieTaylorGreene

Overheard a conversation in Covent Garden today. Dad: Put on your coat! Son: I’m not cold. Dad: I’M cold. Put on your coat! Going on my 13th year as a parent, I’ve come to appreciate that my experience of something doesn’t have to be my daughter’s experience of the same thing. #parenthood
