When I saw this, my body tensed up from the memory of visiting it with my ex, who was very picky about the type of events he'd attend, always wanted to do something - but would not put any effort into finding things for us to do.

In the pub last night, accosted by a chugger (Brit: charity mugger) in a tabard saying their company is raising money for a charity and will we pledge for the disabled kiddies.
My friend S: Are you a registered charity?
Him: We’re raising money for a charity.

I keep thinking of Beth Upton today, who won against an absolutely foul, racist bigot, and should be having the best day, but is still being monstered by our entire media, for the crime of merely existing as her authentic self and doing a job in the NHS that helps people, all day every day.
#C4News went above & beyond, reporting:
"a nurse has won a harassment claim against Dr Beth Upton."
No she didn't. NHS FIFE harassed her, not Upton.
This is almost defamatory, & they mentioned none of the dismissed parts or the implications for trans women in SS spaces. I complained to Ofcom.

Throw in an anatomical collection and a medieval church and I'm all yours. 😍
Less "Hookup culture."
More "Falling madly in love whilst exploring libraries, museums, and bookstores in Prague on a snowy day" culture.

These Pygmy Fruit-eating Bats are another one of my neighbors here at @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica
They cut along the midrib of banana leaves to make them collapse into a protected little house. And then they cuddle with each other and wonder why this strange man is looking at them.

OK. I have a LOT to say about this - but that's MY emotional labour and it's not my job to do all the thinking.
So. I've been single for a while now and am loving it because I only have to do one person's labour. Every relationship I've had, I've done more work for less benefit. 🧵

I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

This is a fabulous little exhibition in a wonderful setting. A little oasis of calm in the middle of London's chaotic Christmassing (although you have to be brave and ring the bell to get in).
Take some time to read about the accompanying paintings of female scientists too - it is well worth it!

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Just giving a little advice.
If you've got a friend you ain't heard from in a really long time, and you kept saying "ah I should catch up" and ya keep forgetting?
Do me a favor today. Call them. Say hi, catch up with them, tell them how much they mean to you.
Could mean a world of difference.

Just been driven across London by Sandra Bullock. Pedestrians leaping out of the way and all of that. Bus arrived 15 minutes ahead of schedule and I've had to go and have a nice quiet sit down.
