this is true, and bad. but in 2016, it was projected to 5c by 2100 and now it's projected to 2.6c. This is largely because of the Paris Agreement. That's not where we need to be, but we've actually made unbelievable progress very quickly in these, the supposed End Times

The world has lost the opportunity to prevent global warming significantly exceeding the critical threshold of 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, according to a major new UN report.

The NHS has issued new guidance on same sex spaces for patients and staff. This guidance is based on the EHRC code of practice which we believe is exclusionary of trans and non-binary people. We continue to hold serious concerns about the implications of the guidance, and how it will be implemented.

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

Every time I see someone use their religion as an excuse to exclude trans people in some court case or other, I think about how I genuinely believe that it is my religious duty towards God to transition, and how stressed a judge would be if we ended up opposite each other in the same case.

"According to the New York Times, he had accused his in-laws of abusing him because of his gender identity" (BBC) McKinsey did important work. Games like Wordle and Spelling Bee raise funds to keep journalism going. He should still be alive. RIP

My five year old has the soul of Orson Welles. We were outside school and he 'put a kiss in my pocket for later.' Extremely touched by this, I gave him two back. He dug out the second one, THEATRICALLY CRUSHED IT IN HIS FIST and said 'one is enough.'

Loitering in the background as my friend spends half an hour rummaging excitedly in a vinyl shop and remembering when I was small and my dad would let me pick a record and put it on his turntable and I'd lay down on the floor and let the bass vibrate through my body until the album played itself out

Went online and couldn’t find anything, does anyone else take their subq estrogen injection and then look up to find that you’re now holding a brilliant sword, cast in fire and justice, that whispers into your mind, “cleave a world for the gentlest of us”?

The pipeline between all things Harry Potter and hurting trans lives is just that--one pipe. Straight line. Direct funding. Not a complicated diagram. When you don't watch the Harry Potter preview, that helps. Not getting the views helps.

Current wedding law can force Trans+ and non-binary people to be misgendered or deadnamed during civil ceremonies. A proposed reform would change that 👇

in this episode cmrn reads a letter tolkien wrote where he talks about how lore is beside the point of storytelling and he doesn't understand all the people asking him fine-grained questions about calendars and stuff and This Is The Truth They Have Hidden From You

unfortunately the one line summary of Akira is "It's an anime set in future Tokyo and a teenager gets superpowers" :(

I've been making changes in my personal life that I haven't spoken very publicly on, but one thing I do want to be public is that my close friends call me Bea now. And if any of you want to call me Bea or B, that would make me very happy. <3 But no pressure, I won't be upset if I hear Martin.
