Heard about this before… and I’m sure I could sleep like this.

For those whose sleep is negatively impacted by the seasonal changes of the clock - might biphasic sleeping be of any assistance? @drpam outlines evidence that suggests this might be a more natural way to sleep.

The current U.K. government is such a disappointing shit show, and what this woman describes is tragic. Aaah!

Sarah has a suggestion @goatsarah.org · Aug 29

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

When anti-terror laws were introduced, opponents said they'd abused.

Making Palestine Action a terrorist organisation akin to ISIS is deranged behaviour.

History will damn how opponents of genocide were branded terrorists, while war criminals were armed and feted.

Not gonna lie, I keep forgetting to post on here 🫣

Here’s the cover for my next book ☺️ it’s called “SUPER GOAT GIRL” and it’s written by the awesome Tracey Baptiste.

It’s really cool and it’s out July 15th (US) and 17th (UK).

Can’t wait for yous to see it. ☺️

Book cover artwork has a little blue Goat character, wearing a yellow, navy and red outfit with her hands on her hips.

This government is such a spineless shitshow. I am so deeply ashamed of my country right now, and despair of Keir Starmer. What an awful, awful government.

Wow, well I reached alert fatigue years ago, although it felt more like intense alert irritation rather than fatigue.

Agree. I feel total despair looking at Izreal killing with impunity because they’re playing narcissistic political games. Who will ever stop them?

Daniel Levy: "Israel has gone so far past that line of what's legal internationally that one can only look in despair at the unwillingness of those who claim to uphold the international legal system to actually challenge these ongoing illegal actions"

A shape has layers of being. Take a square,
at first a mere quadrilateral with four sides.
Later add corners,
and four equal sides.
Later still a square is a rectangle,
but not all rectangles are squares.
Whereas I am a squiggly line

Skipping through the just watered grass barefoot, she dances on the hot concrete, till she finds her abandoned flip flops and slips them on. Then she squints at her hand, her palm pink one side, her skin brown on the other. She is four. In this moment, she knows she is other.
