Woody Harrelson has done an ad for Exxon. Written by Adam McKay. 👏

This is offensive. People are dying of poverty. Disabled and sick people are fearing destitution and the govt talks about marmalade and wafers. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

PSA ACADEMICS: BE THE KIND OF LECTURER YOUR STUDENTS WOULD PICK TO RUN A NEW REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT!!!

Childhood Halloween. A local tenant farmer would be given an hour off or exempt from donating a first born to the wicker man or something by the local laird & would bring from field to school a sack of rock hard neeps even the sheep couldn't eat & we'd have at them with plastic safety knives.

I’m on a train Were in a field Thankfully we are getting updates This is the sort of only in England experience that makes me lovehate this place “We don’t know why we are stopping here” “We don’t usually stop here” “I hope things are ok”

Glastonbury is one of my favourite places in the world & everyone has always said go to Totnes, it's the Devonian Glastonbury. No. It's Glastonbury with money, which is the worst of all possible worlds. (Of course I'm sure it's wonderful to live there, great restaurants, beautiful river, hills).

Reclaim the Night...on bikes!! Bristol Reclaim the Night Bikes. 12th Nov.

Alert! PhD studentships in queer & trans health at Manchester! www.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/study/postgr...

Everyone said at the time that the Tories were killing our elders... that's on you Hancock and Johnson.

we need to get rid of billionaires and this is the only non-violent way to do it. so tough shit.

Prejudice kills. Not in theory, not abstract, real. "they refused to treat because they didn’t have a single room. There were free beds on the single sex wards..She was suffering so much that she didn’t care if they put her on a men’s ward" sophie-molly-reports.beehiiv.com/p/transphobi...

Is Radical Feminism essentialist? No. It's the opposite because RF is the belief that all of us are more than the tired stereotypes we are taught; that all of us can change. It's a revolutionary movement because it believes in the potential of humanity to be humane, otherwise what's the point.

Everything is gender as you can see by this graph we are spending more on effete social care than masculine warmongering, as such the tale of modern britain is that we’re girly and gay what do you say minister???

🚨 Breaking: New guidance from the Ministry of Defence, seen by QueerAF, sets out that Trans service members will be "accommodated in line with their biological sex" www.wearequeeraf.com/uk-trans-arm...

The first is, in part, deployed to avoid having to do anything about the second.

All right, but apart from safer streets, cleaner air, and better business, what has low traffic ever done for us?

Speaking of voting, if you're a member and you'd like to keep the National Trust's Council free from interference from Britain (and the US's) richest financiers, don't forget to vote before the end of the month. Quick-vote takes moments and avoids the Restore Trust slate of candidates.

Nobody is a "whore" because that's a patriarchal term used by men to control & police women's sexuality & independence. This culture creates terms to try to shame women, to police their sexuality, relationships, appearance, choices.

It's that time again! Remember: essential services cannot be left to the whims of charity. Why is the govt. not using our taxes for baby incubators, youth clubs & school counsellors? Poor ppl donate more, basically paying for services they need more & we're supposed to pat celebs on the back for it.

As part of @coastisqueerfest.bsky.social I'm chairing a panel discussion on Queer Masculinities this Friday, featuring @finnfox.bsky.social, Avi Ben-Zeev & Kenya Sterling. Having read the panellists' work I'm extremely excited to get the ultimate front-row seat 😁 Just *£2* to attend for students!

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

Why taf has it been running as a news item all day that Camilla PB & Charles Windsor read books. Jfc. All this country is good for is olympic cap doffing. Maybe they could read some more books, more widely & learn something about their corrupt, parasitic existence. Embarrassing.

For my ENG speaking followers Unprecedented High School blockades began in the outskirts of Paris in Créteil on the 21st of Sept. National mobilisations followed on the 29th of September, the 1st and the 6th of October. The movement is ongoing and has spread both in scope and scale. #tippingpoint

Last week South West Water were fined £8m for >200 sewage discharges in Devon & Cornwall over a 5 year period. Their mantra is “1 pollution is too many”. In the first 11 weeks of 2026, water companies had already dumped over 69,000 hours of sewage into bathing waters. ENOUGH. Public ownership now.

The series 'Furious' on Disney is good, she's no Lisbeth S & I had some problems at the start. But now I'm thinking, & this isn't a spoiler, but for those who have watched right to the end...I think 321 men or whatever is doable.

Watching coverage of Brand arriving at court makes me think someone should do a study of how men accused of rape performatively manhandle their female partners/wives like emotional support animals and props.

'seven women...have told the Guardian they are survivors of domestic abuse carried out by key figures in the anti-immigration street patrol movement. All have chosen to come forward to make the public aware of the patterns of violence behind this new form of activism.'

Microbiology professors right now...

It’s Korvapuustipäivä in Finland and Kanelsbullens Dag in Sweden, which is to say Cinnamon Bun Day! I happen to have a recipe for Swedish Cinnamon Buns, so of course it has to be #RecipeOfTheDay www.nigella.com/recipes/swed...

This sort of coverage is so funny & by funny I mean awful. What I want is millions of research $ into finding out what on earth makes people heterosexual? Can heterosexuality be cured?
