A cheery reminder you can now watch visualised editions of You’re Dead To Me on YouTube outside the UK (and on BBC iPlayer in the UK) This episode on the history of underwear was one of my all-time faves, with amazing guests @vicmmic.bsky.social & Prof Serena Dyer youtu.be/T5X4LV46ZVA?...

I once saw a video where a lecturer asks a group of people to "name something you do every day to protect yourself from sexual assault". First she asks the men & they look at each other as if they don't understand the question, so on the left side of the whiteboard the lecturer writes "nothing". /1

A satirical comic strip titled "CLIMATE CHANGE: A TIMELINE" by creator @SEMI_RAD. The comic features a horizontal timeline bar divided into four color-coded segments of varying lengths, representing changing attitudes toward climate change over time.First segment (Light Blue): This is the longest section, spanning nearly half the timeline. A line points to it with the text: "CLIMATE CHANGE ISN'T REAL".Second segment (Orange): This section is also long, covering most of the remaining bar. A line points to it with the text: "OK, CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL, WE'RE JUST NOT CONVINCED IT'S..." (the text cuts off at the bottom of the image).Third segment (Red): A very narrow section near the end of the bar. A line points to it with the single word: "OOPS".Fourth segment (Yellow): The final, tiny sliver at the very end of the bar. A line points to it with the single word: "FUCK".The background is plain white, and the entire comic is drawn in a simple, hand-lettered, blocky style inside a black-bordered box.

If you’re watching Fauci’s testimony remember that science isn’t an ideology. It doesn’t lie. It evolves. COVID-19 was a once-in-a-century pandemic caused by a brand-new virus, recommendations changed because the evidence changed. That’s not deception. That’s how it works.

setting the record straight can occasionally be done if you get yelled at for posts and want to write an essay explaining yourself fully. but if you get yelled at for an essay you can't correct the record with posts. that river only flows one way
