The process of knowing another — marsh-marigold (caltha palustris), through consistent visits. A chorrach shod — the clumsy one of the marsh. Or, lus bhuidhne bealtuinn — the yellow plant of Beltane/May, with bel/baal referring to the sun-god, and teine the fire.

Along with @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social, we've published our reaction to the judgement in the UK Supreme Court today. There will be more we want to say to trans people directly once we have a chance to catch our breath. www.equality-network.org/uk-supreme-c...
Graphic with a purple background. It reads: "We are really shocked by today's Supreme Court decision- which reverses twenty years of understanding on how the law recognises trans men and women with Gender Recognition Certificates. The judgement seems to have totally missed what matters to trans people- - that we are able to live our lives, and be recognised, in line with who we truly are. We will continue working for a world in which trans people can get on with our lives with privacy, dignity and safety. That is something that we all deserve.". The Scottish Trans and Equality Network logos are in the bottom right.

🚨DR UK's Statement on planned benefits cuts🚨 📢 We are shocked and appalled by the Government’s planned cuts to disability benefits. These changes will push millions into deeper poverty. We refuse to stay silent - read our full statement below.
Disability Rights UK is shocked and appalled at the Government’s intended cuts to the benefits that Disabled people rely upon. Narrowing eligibility for Personal Independence Payment and reducing the health component of Universal Credit, will drive millions of Disabled people into even deeper poverty.

The Government is demonising and punishing Disabled people for the economic failures of successive governments. Why isn’t it looking to the rich, to plug its funding gap?

This is a very distressing time for Disabled people who could be impacted by the proposed changes. We will do everything we can to fight them and as part of the Disabled people’s movement, will make our voices heard.

Now on Mizna Online: @summ.bsky.social reviews Mohammed El-Kurd's newly released "Perfect Victims" in light of the genocide on Gaza, adding to our understanding of the "rhetorical exhaustions" employed to nullify the impact of resistant political action. mizna.org/mizna-online...

Review: Perfect Victims: And the Politics of Appeal by Mohammed El-Kurd - Mizna
Subtlety: something I go back and forth worrying about, an oscillation between “not that deep” or “not worth it” to address, but with the knowledge that it is still cutting, cutting, cutting.

A tanker and cargo ship tragically collided off the Yorkshire coast yesterday. Our first thoughts are with the crew and emergency responders. We are deeply concerned about the potential impact of pollution on seabirds and marine life. Read more: www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen... 👈
An aerial view of the North Sea shows seabirds flying above dark green waters with white foam swirling on the surface. The overlay text, in bold black font on an orange background, reads:  

"North Sea collision: fears for impact on seabirds and other marine life."  

A caution-striped border at the top and a warning triangle in the lower right-hand corner reinforce the urgency of the message.
