I think if there really was a labour trans rights group they wouldn't be using a Gmail address for folk to report harassment inside the party, that sounds like a trap

94-year-old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen OBE, arrested under the Terrorism Act outside @labouruk.bsky.social conference. Her crime? Holding a piece of cardboard with the words “I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action” on it. She was among hundreds doing the same.

Many men would rather engage in violent fantasy about what they WOULD do instead of doing what they easily COULD.

“I'd kill for my daughter."

OK. Will you risk social inconvenience by calling out your peers loudly and to their face? Or is that bare minimum real-life scenario scarier than your hypothetical one? 1/2

Day 669 of daily, uninterrupted protests in Georgia. Today's march commemorates the fall of Sokhumi in September 27, 1993, when Russian-backed separatists took the Abkhazian capital, displacing hundreds of thousands of Georgians. The territory remains occupied.

A Brisbane butcher has been asked to stop selling "pork swords" after a shopper complained about his window display.

The $4.50 sausage creations were deemed inappropriate for a family shopping centre.

He has removed them from view and put up a large sign reading: "Please ask to see my pork sword."

The narration says “I’ve mulled it over for years. I’ve never arrived at an answer.”

Panel 2: A peacock butterfly cocoon is hanging from a branch. The narration says “How does a caterpillar know it must cocoon and become a butterfly?”
