It gets lost in all of this nonsense every time, but it is worth pointing out that it's not illegal to use any toilet you like. Toilets aren't legally restricted places and never have been, for very obvious reasons. This whole thing is based on an absurd fiction about who can and can't go where.

It's not illegal to use the right toilets and no one should adhere to Mary-Ann Stephenson's headmistressly call to "follow rules" that serve no good purpose, breach the UK's human rights obligations, will be bad for all women, and debase trans dignity. Make her appoint her sodding toilet police.

“Do not deny yourself the delights of this life. Instead make a feast of all that you are given.”
The most popular comment on a model's video says "and just like that my hunger is gone. Thank you." And suddenly I am back in summer 2006 where we were all taught skinny was the only kind of beautiful that counted, where the more nothing you could make yourself, the more worthy you were in existence. Your body should be non existent, the newspapers told us. Don't you dare take up space, you don't deserve it. We listened, because we assumed this was just the legacy of girlhood - to make yourself as small as possible. If there is anything I wish I could tell us back then, all young hopeful teenagers and strawberry lipgloss it is that hungry girls become hungry women who make a meal of their dreams to stay alive. Do not deny yourself the delights of this life. Instead make a feast of all that you are given. The love, the joy, the grief, the fury and become women of appetite. Women of want as much as need. - Nikita Gill

Never forget that Mamdani went into the White House and called Trump a fascist to his face and it made Trump so frightened of him he grinned like a buffoon and played nice through the entire press session.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
This is the saddest day of my professional life. Today is not only the final recording of the latest series of The Infinite Monkey Cage, it is my last ever Monkey Cage. I never thought that I would have to leave the show. I always imagined going on until | dropped dead under the studio lights due to a brain aneurysm caused by my final attempt to understand notions of quantum gravity or the shock of being told about fly maggot infestations in the sacks of macaque monkeys. I resigned in September, after sixteen years of dedication to the show, A show that I named and helped develop over all those years. Unfortunately, my opinions outside the BBC have been considered problematic for sometime, whether it has been voicing support for the trans community, criticism of Donald Trump, numerous other outlandish opinions, including once gently criticising Stephen Fry. These things were considered to conflict with being a freelance BBC science presenter In a recent meeting where BBC Studio executives again voiced problems with me, I realised my choices. Obedience and being quieter to remain making Monkey Cage, or 'Resign and have the freedom to speak out against what I believe are injustices'. • I chose the latter. It broke my heart. I love this show and I love the audience, and it is because of the audience in particular, that this decision was so difficult to make. I kept thinking about all the extremist voices promoting hate and division. They are being given so many platforms, while voices that represent kindness, open mindedness, empathy seem to be scarcer and scarcer. I felt I couldn't pamper myself with the luxury of silence. One of my many privileges is that I am able to resign and I can speak out even if it is to the detriment of my career. I have thought a lot about my heroes, Sinead O Connor, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and so many more. I think of Sinead's words, "the job of an artist is to be themselves at any cost". James Baldwin said prejudice was really just a word for cowardice. Audre Lorde, viewing her life, wrote that her only regrets were her silences. I think of my father as I resign, he brought me up to believe in fairness , justice and kindness. Though my heart is broken, it is also full of fire. I apologise to our incredible listeners for my departure, your love of the show means a great deal. I am so sorry to let you down. I hope that you can understand my reasoning. I have to accept that I am not what the current BBC expects of their freelance presenters. Despite this I should add that I have always worked far more than my contracted hours to try and ensure the show was always the best it could be, as well as making myself accessible and responsive to the audience wherever and whenever I met them. Every night, we have recorded, I have been filled with determination to make the best show possible. This was not "just a job" I hope that with my departure I can be a better ally to the LGBTQ community, to the neurodivergent community, to activists fighting against those who aim to brutalise society, to those currently in prison on hunger strike, and to all those who fight for a more inclusive world. From many conversations, I know there are many Monkey Cage listeners who support these communities and activists too. The strawberry is dead. Long live the strawberry. B

Gender and meaning changes over time: pink was once a boy's color and tied to red, for passion and energy. Blue belonged to girls, as it was calming; during the last century the colors flipped. White was the color of babies and color came in at age six. #FolkloreSunday

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.

They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.

Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

Started thinking too hard about „Leben Sie wohl, James.“ and got up in my feelings about it
An image of Zemo from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier He's saying „Leben Sie wohl, James.“ A definition of the term is inset into the image. „Leben Sie wohl“ is used as a formal farewell when it is unlikely that the people are going to see each other again or when they even plan to never see each other again. It's rather sad. You wouldn't use it to say goodbye to a friend's friend (that you met at their birthday party) that you assume you will never meet again, but you would use the informal „Leb wohl“ for example after breaking up with someone and deciding that you won't talk anymore. Does that make sense to you?

We tend to assume boredom is something to be avoided, but in centuries past you would go wandering through the woods or stare at the walls of a cave for an hour and accidentally invent beer or a new religion or write Alice in Wonderland.
