Picture of Miles O'Brien, played by Colm Meaney in Star Trek The Next Generation/Star Trek Deep Space 9, standing with his hands on his hips and smiling. There is text over the image in 4 parts. Part 1: "Stay alive. Stay fucking alive" Part 2: "It's shit now but it won't always be" Part 3: "Happiness comes in waves" Part 4: "You will find it and feel it again"

Say you genuinely believe that Zionism is racism. OK. But if your MPs and former leaders tell you very clearly that your motion will hurt the party and you vote for it anyway, then that’s wrecker behaviour

Because it's buried at the bottom of the article and CNN is presenting it in a misleading way: before people worry, the "unknown" part is how the worker was exposed, the pathogen is good old fashioned Y. pestis which we understand extremely well and can treat just fine if caught early

Catching measles does not make your immune system stronger… it does the exact opposite. It can wipe out your immunity (both natural and vaccine related) to all kinds of diseases. It’s a deadly and disabling disease that we know how to prevent. Get your vaccine. It saves lives.

Vile transphobic bigot Bridget Phillipson is leaving trans women survivors of domestic violence with nowhere to go. Trans people are particularly vulnerable to domestic violence & this disgusting government taking away support is putting lives in danger. Statement by @galopuk.bsky.social.
If the UK Government's position is, as the Minister for Women and Equalities, Bridget Phillipson, said on Sunday, that trans women should not be allowed in women's refuges, then it's their job to ensure trans+ people have accommodation they can access. Anyone who is escaping abuse and violence deserves a safe place to go.
But the Supreme Court Ruling and the EHRC's updated Code of Practice has put trans+ victims and survivors in a dangerous state of limbo with no clear guidance on what services they can turn to.
Over the last year, it has been virtually impossible for our frontline services to find anywhere safe for trans+ victims and survivors to go. Despite the fact that trans+ people are at particularly high risk of experiencing abuse and violence. We need direct action now from the UK Government to support trans+ people to find safe accommodation.

I have long suspected that Brian Jacques, who wrote the Redwall novels, was a well read man but this today from Anselm has convinced me! @oldenoughtosay.com
From Anselm: The Major Works 
Much against his inclination, Anselm had been chosen in 1093 to be Archbishop of Canterbury in succession to Lanfranc. He wrote on one occasion to Eulalia, Abbess of Shaftesbury, 'I am so harassed in the archbiahopric that if it were possible to do so without guilt, I would rather die than continue in it' 

The text continues, but the purpose of this image is to show the name Eulalia, as I encountered it first in the Redwall novels by Brian Jacques

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

This is a coordinated effort to literally wipe us out of public life and if I had not known about the 16 bills in my state, including ones that have already passed that affect me directly, I wouldn't have been able to navigate some recent issues with my name change. Not without help, which I had.

We just hit 835 bills across 43 states for 2026. Since 2021, we've now hit a total of nearly 3500. I DO actually think we need to know about what bills are being introruced, by whom, and where actually, and I find it kind of frustrating that I seem to be alone in this. This isn't panic.
