Found when sorting an old drive. I still, very occasionally, say 'not many badgers in the House of Lords' and this is why:
Letter to the Guardian. The protection of badgers has a long pedigree (Report, 29 August). Arthur Gore, known as "Boofy", the eighth Earl of Arran, was a fanatical defender of them. He was also a tireless campaigner for the rights of homosexuals. In 1967 he managed to push through a law in the Lords that decriminalised homosexuality but failed to pass a bill to outlaw the cruel hunting of badgers. When asked why he had not received enough support for his badger bill, he replied: "Not many badgers in the House of Lords." Tony Lywood Keswick, Cumbria

In that zone where I have to leave the house in about 10-15 minutes for a thing. Not enough time to get into something, just gotta sit here and dread the outside world and losing the next few hours to being social.

14 women were shot at École Polytechnique, Montreal, December 6, 1989. They were killed because they were #WomenInSTEM. An act of #misogyny in Canada.

Women in science & medicine are still disproportionately targets of threats & harassment here and abroad.

Nature is healing: the Christmas Mimic has claimed its first holiday snack of the season. 🎁🪤😆

What’s the weirdest holiday hazard you’ve ever encountered around the house?

#GuigarChristmasCountdown
Single-panel cartoon of a Christmas tree surrounded by wrapped gifts. One large green present has sprung open like a hungry monster, its lid clamping down on a person’s torso as their legs kick wildly in the air. A big red ribbon spills out across the floor. The other presents sit innocently nearby, and the Christmas lights glow warmly on the tree. Caption: “The North American Christmas Mimic.”

Support us dry dry humans
A two-panel comic drawing. The first panel says “why use water-hungry AI…”, accompanied by an abstract drawing of a dark cloud extending fingers into Earth or water. The second panel says “when you can support dehydrated artists?”. The image is of a skull next to a paintbrush and a palette. The skull says “we’re very low impact”.

charge - num fundo escuro, um homem carrega uma mulher no ombro. Ele está de costas e caminha para longe. Dela não se vê o rosto, apenas os cabelos e os braços estirados em direção ao chão. Dos lados se lê: nem todo homem, mas sempre um homem.

Just realized I said it was "Last Christmas" but it was, of course, " All I want for Christmas is you" It was still not a thing worth listening to over and over and over....

Just need to share this moment. I zipped into the Dollarama for some discount beverages and playing, on an apparent loop, was Mariah Carey’s “Last Christmas” - as performed by a Michael Jackson impersonator and a Casio keyboard. It wasn’t bad, technically, but oh Lord it wasn’t good!!
