Watch ALL of this

Kyiv is under ballistic missile attack. Unscheduled power cut. A new EcoFlow (portable power station) was delivered a few minutes ago as the previous one was saying goodbye. Life.

Wonderful to hear that Beth Dobbins' sister Faye has now raised over £16,000 for @meresearchuk.bsky.social. We completely rely on amazing fundraisers and gift givers and use the money to push forward the understanding of ME at a biological level. Please do donate to get her to £20,000 💙💙💙💙

🔴 Jason Arday Again Cleared of Plagiarism as His Attackers Launch an ‘Independent Inquiry’  Backed by Reform UK megadonor Ben Delo, the Committee for Academic Freedom… https://bylinetimes.com/2026/10/21/jason-arday-again-cleared-of-plagiarism-as-his-attackers-launch-an-independent-inquiry/

She was murdered by transphobia 😥😥😥

Daniel Pemberton and David Byrne wrote a song about Elon Musk for Alex Gibney's documentary. TikTok took it down and canceled the entire account for the film. So Pemberton encouraged those of us lucky enough to see him perform today to share it. youtu.be/WAvdN-JSUFU?...

Appalling decision, if it's such a problem, why aren't male wards only staffed by men and female wards by women? After all, the only sexual assault in a medical facility I've experienced was by a male doctor.

Brilliant but harrowing testimnony from a fellow ME Warrior. Huge hugs to her and to her sister, who's running a marathon on Sunday to raise funds for us at @meresearchuk.bsky.social to use for vital research into the biological science behind #ME #mecfs www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athlet...

Fixed it

So proud of Gemma. Part of my role as a @meresearchuk.bsky.social Trustee and Science Committee member is to help assess who gets funding. It's such a privilege to see fantastic people like Dr Samms progress our knowledge of ME, now, who do we pressure to put her findings into action? 💙💙💙

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.

I think Trump cronies are deliberately putting up unqualified women in a deliberate misogynistic act to discredit all women. Get everyone to laugh then field a highly competent bloke for a "leave it to the men" moment that extends to our total subjugation. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

This petition is specifically about the New Guinea Bissau vaccine trial. Sign to impeach RFK Jr. It is high time that this gets momentum. www.standupforscience.net/petition-to-...

The numbers are moving in the wrong direction again. Estimated #COVID infections in England: 📈 September 27: 1 in 234 people 📈 October 4: 1 in 175 people 📈 October 11: 1 in 160 people SARS-CoV-2 still hasn't gotten the memo that most people have moved on.

Absolute shame on the BBC, looking out for our trans siblings is not political or non-impartial, it's basic human decency. Protect the Dolls, FFS.

Shane can say what he wants and so can we.

As a reminder, Symptom Saturday is our ongoing series that has been running over the past two months, dedicated to exploring core and additional symptoms of ME/CFS to help further understanding of this profoundly debilitating disease. Keep up to date with the series: tinyurl.com/symptomsatur...

Today Russia celebrated the lifting of sanctions on diesel exports by dropping five glide bombs on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia. At least 15 people are killed, among them 3 children. The number may rise as rescuers check the rubble‼️

1. CRISPR came from basic research on bacteria. 2. Optogenetics started with a discovery in algae. 3. The GFP protein comes from jellyfish. The biggest breakthroughs all trace to scientists following their curiosity, and this is one huge reason why we must keep funding basic research!

If the Hepatitis B vaccine trial RFK Jr. has funded in Guinea-Bissau were ethical, he’d be doing it in the U.S. Instead, he’s preying on infants in one of the poorest countries in the world, which also happens to have a high prevalence of Hep B. Infants will suffer b/c RFK Jr. is anti-vax.

There would have been no successful Apollo program without the brilliance & dedication of Margaret Hamilton, who built the software from nothing. "We had to find a way, and we did. Looking back, we were the luckiest people in the world; there was no choice but to be pioneers.” Godspeed, Mrs Hamilton

‘Neither war nor peace’: Palestinians in Gaza on existing amid disease, despair and ruins www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Great chat about governance needs for data centres to standardise resource use/safety basics, how they can be much more efficient, why they are in poorer rural locations and why, when the location of a new data centre is successfully protested, the community it then goes to also needs protection.

Türkiye raided homes overnight and jailed people for running LGBT+ organizations, calling their legal work a crime. Sign now and demand their release: a.allout.org/s/P3D8Q/

Something lovely to listen to while coping with all this, some of my wonderful choir live on Radio 3 this avo

They’ve come from Palestine to perform this in London - on Saturday - please support , please share www.pleasance.co.uk/event/2077-w...

This is a bit of a parlor trick and is being hyped. The images are not being generated de-novo. They are being matched with a known set of prior images or text, meaning that they reconstruct the signals recorded by brain when shown images during training. Verrrry different than reading thoughts.

Arsehole men are trying to find out the identity of the poor woman at Cornell who was s'ly abused by seven men who then got away with it both in law and by that abhorrent university. In solidarity of her wish to remain anonymous, we are surrounding her anonymity with this declaration.

9 years after Grenfell fire killed 72 people, Police pass files to the Crown Prosecution Service for possible charges against 54 individuals and 20 companies. How many will be prosecuted? Years of litigation will follow. Justice delayed is justice denied.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

Let’s put specific names & photos where they belong. Have these “men” no sensitivity to the girls & women in their lives? #Pinks
