Biscuits are different from cookies imo (British person here) - biscuits are supposed to snap when you break them, whereas cookies can snap or be gooey.

measles is an entirely preventable disease that is being reintroduced to America by Republicans because Trump fucked up the federal pandemic response and so therefore science must be bad

Using taxpayer money to run campaign commercials is theft. Trump mocks the law. He has turned the White House into the headquarters for his organized crime gang.

Did you know that the United States officially withdrew from the Human Rights Council last Friday. The day after a UN group accused the Administration of multiple war crimes in Iran. Seems like something shithole countries do.

If someone posted this about a Jewish Senator, it would be rightly condemned as anti-semitism. El-Sayed was born and raised in Michigan, but because he is Muslim he is perpetually foreign and under suspicion.

After illegally bulldozing half of the White House, Trump bans media that won’t lie for him from the other half. Every self-respecting media entity in America should boycott what’s left of the White House if he keeps violating press freedom.

1. This is a naked attack on press freedom by a president who hates it. 2. There are limits to the president's ability to carry out this threat thanks to the First Amendment. 3. It's also a threat to the "Other Fake News Media Outlets" who can face similar punishment based on their reporting.

It's genuinely fascinating that the US president keeps announcing that he just flat out doesn't know what trade is, he legit doesn't appreciate the concept of exchange and instead views economic activity through the lens of a dragon attempting to maximise its gold hoard to sit upon.

So the ‘negotiation’ involves blowing smoke up Putin’s arse, asking him what he wants then attacking Ukraine for refusing to concede it. Never forget the huge swathe of UK media & political figures who celebrated Trump’s ascent while claiming to care about Ukraine. Absolute heels, the lot of them.

So glad you have been given advice and relevant treatment! The risk is low but real, and treatment, when necessary, is needed before symptoms as I discovered! It was a lovely impulse to rescue the poor bat, and I am wishing both parties a long and healthy life!

TaliaJane @sciencemaeven.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
No probs! I just learned about this after a bat exposure myself - better safe than sorry - a healthcare professional can tell you is any preventative treatment is needed - if it is needed, the treatment is extremely effective prior to development of symptoms .

TaliaJane @sciencemaeven.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
Sure but a small risk of a fatal disease is still a significant risk - and since once symptoms develop you’re in trouble, better safe than sorry even with a low risk.

Just is case you aren’t aware, all bats, including in the UK, can carry rabies. Any direct contact with a bat should be assessed by a healthcare professional to see if rabies prevention treatment is needed www.bats.org.uk/about-bats/b...
