I just feel such a sense of profound sadness about how so many people will suffer and die again because of US imperialism

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Thread: imagine you're a historian surveying 16th century copies of the world's most famous ancient astronomy book, and you see one where somebody with handwriting VERY similar to GALILEO (!?) has transcribed... a psalm.
"Galileo, a prayer? That's something that doesn't work," Ivan Malara thought.

The conservative candidate in last nights election was known literally for one thing; she led the anti trans activity in the police.
Seriously that was her background, and why Badenoch backed her. And what happened?
It’s time to give up the lie that transphobia is popular

Maybe now the Green Party has won more election seats than Reform we could see them represented in the media a bit more.
*looks off screen*
Ah, I’m just being told I’m a fool.
Meanwhile the second biggest winner in this situation (behind the Greens) is whoever gets to explain to Kemi this morning what "losing your deposit" means.

After its treatment of pro-Palestinian students, Columbia never gets the benefit of the doubt.
They must explain what these alleged "false pretenses" were in full detail and exactly how DHS was allowed into a dorm.
Last Saturday, I was invited to do a talk at Norwich Science Festival's #OutThinkers: an event all about LGBTQ+ people in STEM.
Thanks to @samfrowe.bsky.social for the invite and @prideinstem.bsky.social for sponsoring! (and sorry @drcarpineti.bsky.social for saying I didn't like physics 🤣)
