I love this for you; it's awesome when that all comes together.

Cool. You can start with white people, and leave Black people be. It's not like we've been trying to do precisely that for over 400 years and there's been no movement, but go off...

I'm saying that it's like saying "far right" in the UK when the word people need to use is fascist. The UK overuses quotes, half the time mean it as a rip on any critique, feels patronising. How about we just stop giving racists cover, and just call them racist to their faces?

Reform is about to the be the second party behind SNP in our area, and I can already sense the "independent" (misogynist and racist) councillors about to make their move to out themselves.

You've some of the most fightery people I have ever seen, Scotland. Don't accept this ish without fight.

Holy shit

Scottish university shuts campus amid far-right protest and student safety fears A SCOTTISH university has closed its campus today over safety concerns for international students ahead of a planned far-right protest sparked by…

A Lot (TM) is going on, but again, since no news about anywhere but England tends to reach the UK, racism is shutting universities down in Scotland. All those folk who told me No True Scot, it's All English people, come get your wee yins.

The British are just very, very complacent. They'll starve while a rich family who does nothing puts on enough finery to keep everyone from starving for a year to give a speech, and call it "tradition; you foreigners wouldn't understand". I dunno, I think they think being miserable is strength...

That part. I've lived here for 20 years. "Polite" doesn't wring its hands and pretend it doesn't know what to do for you when you're in A&E - until the Black consultant shows up. They've got the furrowed brow and "I'm very sorry" down to a nicety here, but smiling racism is still racism.

I'm not one for live remakes of animations: but I would straight up go to this show:

Did the thing! Got some rechargable tea lights that work well in these, and that shelf now has illumination.

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

CONFIRMED:

They're real, and they're glorious.

Yawning gosling in my first several minutes of the initial baby goose encounter of baby bird season 2026!

The world is pain, but baby birds are here to bring the joy!

Get ready for it!

Additional footage tomorrow. 🪶 🐣

I avoid comedy shows and movies because laughing too hard causes me to have severe asthma attacks.

Yet, this well-documented pattern did not appear among Black participants. The data provides evidence that Black women do not shy away from competition, nor are they any less willing to take financial risks than Black men. This suggests that the broad behavioral generalizations scientists have made about men and women for years are heavily skewed by predominantly White study samples.

*looks at camera Black womanly*

this is why I got into Black feminist theory. the research on sexual violence was VERY white when I first started researching like 15-20 years ago. in the West, gender is VERY racialized

Two side-by-side pictures of identical living rooms. Both say “30 minutes after sick person has left the room.” the first has a closed windows and several virus particles accumulated in the air. The second has an open window and far fewer particles. arrows show virus going out the window and clean air moving in from outside. Text above the images says “open windows to help reduce the spread of viruses in the air!"

Opening windows helps reduce the spread of viruses by bringing fresh air in & clearing virus particles out! If someone sick is in or was recently in a space indoors, keep windows open to help reduce the risk of spreading airborne diseases like measles, COVID-19, & more. www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/...

This lie is still running hot in the UK, and it's always a scam, or even the store itself running up insurance, because nobody is buying bottles of £300 spirits on eBay.

I think I know what GG did during the war. And I think I know what he did in the Yukon.

And I know the only other time he picked up a gun was to teach me how to shoot my father, because at the time "the murder laws won't try you as an adult".

You want rugged? I got rugged. And we all hated war.

No contact, nobody knew where he went. He came back out of the Tundra two weeks later and said he'd been hunting, but he didn't come back with any game. He was also carrying his bear rifle and scope. He hated that thing.

There was a missing person's report a week later - local guy, with dogs.

Someone stole my grandfather's beloved dog, a white German Shepherd, in the Yukon. My grandfather asked around and found the trail led him to an illegal dogfighting ring in the tundra. He found Lady's footprints out there, and some of her fur caught in the lichens. Grandpa disappeared for two weeks.

On Mum's side? He did something during WW2 so awful he couldn't be around the sound of guns, and we hunted deer with bows. He was a gold miner, invented the first four wheeler and made drystone walling.

Never met Big Daddy, not sure who he was. But family had an orange grove in FL until 80s.

If you know your British including British colonial history, you might be a bit appalled.

I grew up on TIE Fighter. I've had close to zero interest in VR until this very moment. Good god.

Want to give a Mora Jai print from Blue Prince a go?

With thanks to Unnecessary Automation, I'm using their Mora Jai box design as a starter template, but Mr Tinker and I are making some changes to the translucent buttons, and the corner buttons to better reflect the geographical region the puzzle is referencing. Gonna take the year to do imo.

Checking a print at 2am; this is how I want to live, ngl, I'm still a manufacturing nerd.

That's the thing, tho; I grew up in this shit, and the Rapture as regularly not happened. The response? Clearly, not enough people have been killed or abused or "converted" for Jesus. So it means these Christofash work even harder, insinuate themselves even more into governance.

Hi hello has anyone compiled a list of Black writers who live around or engage with the North American Great Lakes region? And if not does anyone wanna collaborate on making a list bc I think one should exist

Yeah. I witness. It is pretty vile watching all this Ally McBeal-ing again. Not a fan...

In Afghanistan, the UK focussed on...getting dogs out of the country, and left our allies and translators there. So at least yay for getting humans out of the area instead?
