Before we start, I’ll make two things clear.
1. Black Lives Matter.
2. Trans men are men, trans women are women, and non-binary identities are valid.
Neither of these things are up for debate.

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

As a treat on your Friday, please make sure to scroll to the top of this thread to thoroughly enjoy just how much these cats (there’s two! A twist!) do not live in this house.
Just imagine - you’re a cat, with presumably a house, but you ignore that house and come instead to *my* house, and you walk in like you own the place, and come and go as you please and do whatever you like whenever you like. Just imagine how smug you’d be. Pretty smug? Not as smug as this bastard.

“A teachable moment” - delightful stuff.
Alright, I really enjoyed that first episode. There’s a lot to like, a lot I’m interested to see where they take, and the set design is gorgeous (the green tiles at the fireplace? My god!).

This proper tickled me, while also making me feel like I was 12 again. #StarfleetAcademy
The Doctor being handed over the wrong kind of tricorder in #StarFleetAcademy's "Kids These Days"➡️ is a callback to his first activation 800 years earlier, when Harry Kim erronoeously handed him over a tricorder instead of medical tricorder in "Caretaker"⬅️. :-)

Oooh, that was niiiiice. A 40 minute recovery run, with Jupiter making a cameo, after a(nother) wfh day was very much needed. I am still running, but the last few have been on a treadmill and no one needs to see the aftermath of that. #RunningPunks

It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

In case you were worried about my plans for nutrition on my runs, I’m obviously taking advice from expert coaches, who inspected my purchases carefully and thoroughly.

“But running is such a cheap sport, it’s great, and obviously it’s so good for you”, she says as she spends a bloody fortune on bloody portable snacks for this block of training so she doesn’t end up with sodding ocular migraines midway through the half marathon.

I've been sitting on this for over a month...but given how cross I am with @royalsociety.org at their ongoing inaction over #Elon #Musk I thought I'd share this.

I'll just leave this stat here.
Only four people in the UK have formally complained about a trans woman entering a “single-sex” facility, an eye-opening report has revealed.
A report published by advocacy group TransLucent found that only four official complaints were documented across 382 public bodies since 2022.

Hi @royalsociety.org, you might find this thread interesting. “Now consider the system that allows him to exist, that created him and protected him and rewarded him.”
Elon musk, the world's richest man, just finished a stint as part of the US government where he oversaw the murder of hundreds of thousands of children and counting, and now is overseeing a website producing the most CSAM per minute in history.

At this point there is no reasonable excuse for anyone, whether that’s individuals or companies or governments, to be on that godforsaken site any more. Don’t give me that chat about “reach”, if this is who you’re reaching.

Delighted to be a FEMINIST who will burn in hell for DRIVING HUMANITY into EXTINCTION, aka a person doing a DISSERVICE to HUMANITY for choosing not to have kids.
That’s a very rational opinion to have there, buddy. The erratic CAPSLOCK is definitely what makes it so rational.

Today’s effort was a relaxed 4 mile lap of the park, which was very nice, but I did realise that with three halfs on the slate this year I am 100% going to have to mix my training routes up more lest I lose my motivation/marbles. #RunningPunks

Preach. Stop talking about the Moon. Just look at it. Perfection.
The moon seems to have a dedicated PR team, with news outlets hyping Wolf Moons, Super Blood Moons, Cold Moons, and more, Kaitlyn Tiffany writes. She explores what's behind the moon hype:

The transphobes of Glasgow have clearly been having a very normal Christmas, because tell me why it’s the 2nd of January and some dork-ass loser has stuck a bunch of *homemade* Sex Matters stickers all over the pedestrian crossings on Shields Road. Get a fucking grip babes, and a fucking life.

We actually did this at the end of 2024, and timed it perfectly. 100% an excellent way to go into a new year.
Just remember: if you start watching the Voyager episode "Year of Hell" at exactly 22:31:38, Janeway crashes into the Krenim time ship at exactly midnight
