Yeah, I can definitely relate to that.

The number of times people listen is vanishingly small, and I'm guessing the number of times their views change having listened is a whole lot smaller. But I still think (on a good day) it's worth a shot.

More recent, and less directly relevant, but this is the second part of a podcast about JKRowling, and it looks at the recent dramatic changes to attitudes towards trans rights. www.podbean.com/ea/dir-hv592...

The moral panic surrounding it is a response to a propaganda war. How many people do you know who were "concerned" about it ten years ago?

Not particularly well informed on this, but I think I've read it was the Victorians who introduced public toilets in the UK. And obviously, the Victorians would segregate them. And trans women have been using the ladies' toilets since the 1960s at least.

If there were the least whisper of evidence that rates of violence could be reduced by excluding trans women, people like glinner would be all over it. They're not, because there isn't.

Don't you think people have tried comparing the rates of violence against women in countries where trans women self identify and use women's toilets to countries where trans women are segregated?

What on earth makes you think you've never seen a trans man in the men's toilets? How do you think you would know? Do you think they have to wear armbands or something?

That's not what the government report said though, is it? Why are people lying about this?

It's just a quiz site, but it has a lot of geography quizzes. A student introduced me to it, and I love it!

I see nothing on this sign saying adults can’t ride the trolleys.
A picture of some trolleys at Gatwick Airport. A sign above the trolleys reads “children must not ride on trolleys”.

Kodi’s #psychiatry fact of the day: emotional blunting is an occasional side effect of #SSRIs, not just something you should expect with treatment. If you experience this, tell your doctor, as switching to another medication may be warranted.

I just found out it’s #PloverAppreciationDay! I really, really appreciate plovers at all times. Small and cute and in need of our support because their habitat is threatened. That’s why this one is wearing some jewelry, to help track and monitor them. (Piping Plover at the NJ coast) #birds 🌿

Great egrets 🪶 🐡
Photo of a small painting being held by a hand for scale with a small paintbrush visible resting on the table behind it. The painting is of a pair of great egrets in breeding plumage standing on a tall, twisty leafless branch against a misty grey-blue background. The egrets are bright white, with green faces and yellow beaks and eyes. The top egret sports a fan of breeding plumage and the lower egret has the plumage blowing a bit to the side. The painting is soft and dreamy and misty feeling.

"The Whole World is Bark" Brown Creeper and Colorful Zale 8"x10" oil painting on panel Inspired by a Brown Creeper exploring the intricate landscape of bark on an older Yellow Birch, before totality during the 2024 solar eclipse. If you explore the bark too, you'll find the Colorful Zale. 🪶🐡
An oil painting of a Brown Creeper, clinging to the curling and craggy bark of an older Yellow Birch tree. A Colorful Zale moth, which uses Yellow Birch as one of its host plants, clings to the bark in the upper center of the painting, in soft shadows. The light is a somewhat surreal warm grey, as the solar eclipse was well underway, minutes from totality. The artist watermark reads: Copyright 2026 Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" featherdust dot com

Be warned - if you give them half a chance the squirrels will try to mug you for your phone.

Have made the difficult decision that our beloved moggy will be making the one way trip to the vet's in the next day or two 😭. It's always gutting to say goodbye to a pet, but this one is hitting me the hardest.

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.
Two cats on a platformed tower. One is on the lower level, head hidden behind the middle section. The second is on the top tier with only their head showing.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see a dragon sitting on a pile of treasure. A speech bubble pointing off panel reads, “Dragon, why do you have all this treasure?”
In the second panel we zoom in on the dragons face. He simply says “shiny”.
In the third panel we pan to the left and see that there is a crow standing next to the dragon on the treasure.
In the fourth panel we zoom in on the crows face. He says “hell yeah”.
