It’s cruel, almost, to release “28 years later” 23 years after “28 days later”, as all of us who immediately googled the initial release will know. Missed opportunity to satisfy some nerds

👛 Barbie ist ein Kultobjekt. Aber was verkörpert sie abseits des Offensichtlichen? Mit dieser Frage beschäftigten wir uns im Rahmen des Workshops »Plastik von Gewicht - Queering Barbie« von @franziskathiel.bsky.social , Jara Schmidt und Elisa Linseisen. Vielen Dank für die spannenden Diskussionen!

Birmingham, Brighton, London and Manchester Prides announced that political parties would not be welcome at their events in an official capacity until they demonstrated a "tangible commitment to trans rights".

UK Pride groups suspend involvement of political parties

The move comes after the Supreme Court ruling on the legal definition of "woman".

FUCK OFF YOU ARSEHOLES.
There is only so much professionalism, particular as a non-binary, autistic, individual, I can muster at the moment. Stop treating us as if we are "broken" as if we are "wrong". How hard is it to accept us as us? I want to cry at the way we are talked about.

What’s the most common season for babies to be born?

In many European countries, it’s late summer or autumn. Births are 5% to 10% more common in these months than others.

But this seasonal pattern used to be different. 🧵

A line graph depicting the most common birth month in France from 1861 to 2022, with the horizontal axis representing months from January to December and the vertical axis indicating years. Each year shows a line indicating the month with the highest average birth rate per day, with varying colors representing different time periods.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, lines often cluster around spring months, indicating this as the most common season for births. Disruptions during World Wars I and II are noted, as birth rates shifted temporarily. Since the late 20th century, the trend has changed, with late summer and autumn months becoming the most common for births.

The data source is the Human Mortality Database (2024) and the chart is published on OurWorldinData.org, and is licensed under CC-BY by the authors, Saloni Dattani and Lucas Rodés-Guirao.
