Over 50,000 cis women have signed the @nionwomen.bsky.social open letter rejecting the narrative that trans women are a danger to women.

The real threat to women has never been trans women. The real threat to women is male violence.

"With all the rhetoric that you bring in, I have to say to my sons, please don't go there. Please don't do this."

This is great news. We've hired the classicist Spencer Klavan to teach at New College of Florida. Goodbye gender studies; hello, Greek literature.

Truly excited to be teaching an online survey course in Greek literature this fall semester @NewCollegeofFL. Even more excited that it's open to the public. Please join in here! We'll be reading Homer, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, and lots more.

Forced to share pins, left open to fraud!

1 in 5 with mental health conditions risk financial abuse by sharing pins as banks don't offer carers cards, 3rd party notifications or controls. We want to change that. Full info www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2025/10...

Perthyn a rhannu gwerthoedd - dyna sy’n ein gwneud yn Gymry.

Dwi'n ferch o dde-ddwyrain Llundain a ddaeth yn Gymraes.

Mae ein Cymru ni yn un sy'n croesawu, yn cynnwys ac yn adeiladu, nid yn un sy'n rhannu.

Oh, Caerffili!
I hope you recognise snake-oil salespeople when you encounter them. Characteristics?
👎Sowing division
👎Easy answers to difficult problems
👎Othering
They don’t have the ability to enact necessary actions to improve ppl’s lives

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Reform ladies and gentlemen. Promise the world, full of popular one liners and 'common sense'. But, oh look, reality is complex, requires experts, knowledge, and experience. Reform have none of that.
They are useless and ultimately they will cost their constituencies more for their lack of ability

Got clap back on air for saying this yesterday but I believe it to be true-

Islamist extremists pretend to represent Muslims (they do not).

The far right are pretending to care about Jewish ppl (they do not).

They’re both abhorrent & we’re all caught in their crossfires.

For the same reasons as Peter, just unfollowed the BBC’s Newscast, now following @quietriotpod.bsky.social and listening to their podcast right now.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Peter English @petermbenglish.bsky.social · 16d

After listening to my preferred news source today, @quietriotpod.bsky.social , I have unsubscribed from the BBC's Newscast.

I stopped listening to Newscast because of its constant pro-Farage and pro-Israel bias.

Just to say I don’t have lip fillers but if you do I don’t judge you at all. It’s your face and your choice. It’s just annoying because the figment of the lip fillers I haven’t had is used to diminish my opinions & achievements. Equally if I had had them I’d still be the same person so….

Can we also stop supplying weapon parts to Israel, suspend trade and impose a sports and cultural boycott to try and ensure there's a Palestine left to recognise?
