Race Across The World but it's Flávio and Bibi on the run from Lula and the ICC

What is it with powerful women bending to misogynistic abusers?

But MAYBE it will work THIS TIME! sorry, could not resist. And this is only the LATEST group to be offered as a sacrifice for the fascists. Remember the Gestapo still roams our streets. Remember the genocide. Remember when women had rights.

Alert ICE, stat.

Could centuries of secrecy about who owns our land soon end? A new government consultation proposes revealing who owns up to 95% of England and Wales. To stop this being blocked by big landowners, I need your help to send in supportive evidence. Here’s how: whoownsengland.org/2026/10/27/c...

Let me help you understand this a little bit better. If you are telling me I have to vote for a candidate who is going to kill me, why should I not vote for a candidate who will also kill *you*?

Menopause has changed everything for me. The way I write has changed. What I pay attention to has changed. I'm going to be 60 next year. The Old Woman Le Guin writes about is becoming clearer. Give birth to me, she encourages. Let us meet, she beckons.

Claiming that being LGBTQ is political is part of dehumanising people. It’s saying that being gay is a political decision. It’s as political as having red hair as anyone with a working brain can tell you. However, its goal is to remove the human rights of LGBTQ ppl. The Blackshirts would approve.

Last week they went even further with Pride rainbow badges being edited out on a quiz show. This they claimed was to remove political symbols. Being LGBTQ is not political. There are, for instance, LGBTQ ppl of every political stance. Again this is a breach of the Equality Act.

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

I was thrilled to chat with @bjcolangelo.bsky.social for this special @fangoria.bsky.social piece all about how the Chainsaw Awards come together, what it takes to build a show that's a little "weird," and why it ultimately feels like one big horror summer camp. Give it a read!

there's obviously bad takes from people abroad, but there's also bad takes from people at home, so

This new Common Buzzard first showed up at Lytchett Bay on 24/08/26 and has been around since, probably the palest pale-morph Buzzard I've come across

Back on patch after an enjoyable week, as always, on Holy Island. 10 Spoonbill, 13 Brent, Spot Red, 5 Greenshank and a couple of Meds wasn't a bad welcome party. @harbourbirds.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

Antwort: ja. Es reicht jedoch nicht, das Gewässer nur optisch und physisch aufzuhübschen, man muss sein gesamtes Ökosystem miteinbeziehen. Also in der Regel auch seine Aue. Nicht alles, was natürlich aussieht, ist schon Natur. #Renaturierung #WRRL share.google/nq6GktOUGipf...

Read this now: "Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, the consultant class installs friendly operatives, charges fees, raids the party’s long-term assets, and gives strategic advice that ultimately serves itself over the long-term health of the party."

🧵 Wow - this article is bordering on unhinged! Apparently the BBC is akin to a “North Korean re-education camp” for teaching children about net-zero and covering both the pros AND cons of immigration Join me for a masterclass in cherry-picking and context stripping to brainwash your own readers👍🏻

I wonder if Nigel Farage is having the same problems but just not telling us, just as he won't admit to the almost complete non-appearance of all the promised 'Brexit benefits because then he might have to #ApologiseForBrexit "Crazy set of circumstances." via Joshua ABD

The super thoughtful Kyle MacLachlan on Dune, doppelgängers, David Lynch and why Agent Cooper is so close to his heart… Monday’s #bbcfrontrow

First they erased a ‘Protect the Dolls’ t-shirt from Strictly Come Dancing. Now they’ve erased Pride badges from University Challenge. The BBC are saying that our visibility as LGBTQ people is a political issue. Meanwhile they’ve commissioned a 2-part series on JK Rowling. Impartial? My arse!

the contrast between seeing US democrats fall over themselves to embrace idiot transphobia all year and tonight seeing footage of the president embracing my (trans) congresswoman, Erika Hilton, at the election night party

Little Auk just gone really close east past the Obelisk

After the first round elections, Congressman André Janones created a WhatsApp channel titled “Lula’s Army.” It ballooned to 10 million people following his commands on how to behave online to counteract Meta’s far-right-favouring algorithms. The right knows how to use socials. We must learn, too.

Banks can afford an increase in the ‘windfall tax’ aka bank levy - they say so privately. But why are we still talking about this - we pay them 4% interest on their deposits, their cash piles, built of our deposits….then charge a 3% levy on their profits…..profits we boost by ~£30 Billion a year.

this why I believe abstinence is the only real way, but I know it's hard we have been here before with smoking, where the best thing is never to start & the second best is to stop as soon as you can — and it doesn't matter if one cig a day is "not that bad" if you can go down to one go down to nil

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Yissss
