Some highlights so far from #BLA26. A great keynote to start, and, of course, the Quiz!

Abi @sisuabi.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Looking forward to welcoming you to sunny Brighton for #BLA26. I understand there are some buses with trains out of Victoria but there are other options from other stations.

@blalib.org #bla25 It's been a great conference everyone. So much food for thought (and actual food... I am stuffed!)

“Carewashing” is when organisations claim they care about your wellbeing, but their actions say otherwise. Having too many meetings is a part of this. #BLA25

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

My own opinion is that it's good to signal (through words and/or actions) the virtues that you value; that's one of the most important parts of maintaining a healthy community.

A former Facebook employee tells @caseynewton.bsky.social that Zuckerberg's surrender to the far right "is a precursor for genocide.” If that sounds extreme, consider Facebook's failure to curb online hate & disinfo in Myanmar, which fanned the flames of mass murder against the Rohingya minority.

Simply this. America is descending fast - and we need to ensure it does not pull down the rest of the world with it. Particularly in Europe, we need to regroup and operate without the US.

Musk’s latest intervention is objectively hilarious but the problem of a hideous human using his enormous wealth & power to promote lies & liars in the U.K., despite having no links to or other interest in the country, remains acute.

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated. We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.
