I mostly avoid those "unwrapped" end of year things, but I do like looking over my GoodReads Year in Books. Going over these, this feels like a good year: www.goodreads.com/user/year_in...

I reject that "biological male" is a useful or accurate term to describe me, a trans woman, most of the time. I have a bunch of biological traits typical of both cis women (hormone profile and from that breasts and fat distribution) and cis men (deeper voice, prostate) or neither (lack of gonads).

Played new game Forbidden Jungle at #GamesNight tonight, which was a lot of fun. It was well-balanced and felt pleasantly like a Forbidden game while also feeling fresh. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Scotland must always remain a welcoming country for migrants and refugees.

It's not illegal to seek asylum and refuge here, no matter the circumstances.
No human is illegal. International Migrants Day.

This is why the SNP will definitely be on my shortlist for the upcoming elections, and why Labour won't.

These posters for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth are the greatest thing ever? #art
Poster for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth showing Lady Macbeth whose back is turned to us, and Macbeth posed towards us with his hand on the back of his wife's neck. The long cut in the back of her dress reveals skin in the shape of a sword/dagger that Macbeth seems to be holding. Poster for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth showing Lady Macbeth facing us with her cleavage cut into three pointy triangles. Macbeth is kneeling in front of her, away from us, his face in his wife's chest. The exposed skin of Lady Macbeth looks like a crown that aligns with the top of Macbeth's head.

So it's not just me, there are fewer Scottish banknotes about! www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

What is this nonsense, can we have proper notes again, please?

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
broadwaybabyto.bsky.social Kelly @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · Nov 27
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.
