Some wild accusations from conspiracy theory struck off nurse here. At what point does she get charged for false allegations? There are good doctors and paramedics being dragged through the mud all because of misinformation and lies. share.google/cfWew5kEAir9...

I’m begging political queers to understand it’s possible to push for internal change within a party AND that the party at large should not get the positive press of being at Pride until that change happens. I’m sorry you don’t get to wave your red flag in the parade but there’s more at stake here!

Hey #SciSky - I'm pulling together examples of attacks on science & academic freedom in Europe for some colleagues There's probably many happening beyond what I'm aware of, so I'd be grateful for examples!

My partner got weirded out by how much my new calathea plant wiggles during the day, so of course I had to capture an 11 hour timelapse of it wiggling.

I feel like I'm starting to cultivate a bit of a captain haddock vibe...
A tired bearded man (me) in a blue beanie and a grey sweatshirt. The sweatshirt has "gay and tired" embroidered on it. I'm making a peace sign at the camera.The meme from Tintin: Captain Haddock, a scruffy bearded man in a blue sweatshirt stares into the distance in an exhausted way. He's saying "What a week, huh?". Tintin, a blond haired twink with a weird penchant for trench coats, sits to the left. He responds "Captain, it's Wednesday". Snowy, a white haired terrier of some kind is drinking a beer like a sensible person would be doing in this situation.
