A thing I've been mulling over for a while:
- if you have a favourite airport in your country you are flying too much.
- if you can rate airports all over your continent you are flying way too much
- if you can rate airports all over the world you are flying way WAY too much
Climate change is real

To be clear: the majority of assaults in prisons are not committed by trans ppl. Prisons in the UK have tolerated excessive force by guards and prisoner-prisoner violence since we first built rock walls.
This isn't about safety.
It's about ideology. It's about dehumanization. It's about genocide.

My husband was admitted to the local hospital because he was delirious, but they couldn't find a bed, and he was initially cared for in a corridor, opposite the toilets(!). Staff were trying hard, but there simply weren't enough of them. I had to leave him there and I was genuinely scared for him.
Corridor care isn't normal. It is undignified, unsafe, and the result of political choices.

The more medical staff tell their stories the more difficult it is to brush the extent of corridor care under the carpet. Numbers don't hit most of us the way stories about actual people do!

🧵 about the way the British in Africa used the excuse of stopping slavery to steal most of the continent. If like me you weren't taught about this in school history it's definitely worth clicking through and reading Lester's keynote address too.
1/10. Tory peer Daniel Hannan has posted a potted history of slavery that demonstrates how historical understanding is being twisted by politicians. I’ll examine it in light of historians’ research.

Damn right, that level of privilege fucks people up, it would be a kindness to the whole lot of them to remove the wealth and the privilege that comes with it.
As ever more incriminating & sordid evidence continues to come to light, it is important we continue to refer to him as PRINCE Andrew.
Never forget it was the unearned privilege and wealth of being a member of the Royal Family that *enabled* him to act this way.

Look at the state of this:
Prince Andrew crouched on all fours over a woman lying on the floor.
(How old is she??)

The UK police MUST now properly look into this - or are they confirming that the Royal Family are above the law of the land??

The fantastic @redpenreviews.bsky.social gave Greger's diet book a 50% score for scientific accuracy.
They did what Greger always says he does: they put it to the test.

The founder and host of NutritionFacts(dot)org sounds fair, but his vegan bias colours how he interprets studies.
I look at Dr. Michael Greger and how bias plays a role in scicomm.

When ICE lies nakedly and repeatedly about the violence it enacts on innocents and civilians, painting them instead as criminal agitators, it stands on the shoulders of every US police department that ever used the same language to justify its own murderous shootings, particularly of Black people.
