I like my men how I like my coffee: despite the fact that doing so is clearly harmful.

Shamima Begum was trafficked and I don't see how anyone could not see that. If her name had been Sarah Bond the entire story would have been different.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

An important thing to understand about bullies is that that don't back down when you stand up to them. They escalate. 1/

My photo collage shows five cylindrical Minoan cups each with a single handle and a slightly flaring rim. Each cup is decorated with a different geometric polychrome motif as follows:

Top left: on a black background, a central band delineated by an upper and lower white line contains evenly-spaced dark-orange circles, each orange circle is outlined by a white line. Above and below the central band are swirling white vine-like lines. 

Top right: on a black background, a large white spiral on the front of the cup and beside it a dark-orange oval with stylised white petals at each end which looks like a wrapped sweet!

Middle left: a central band of white and dark orange diagonal lines runs around the cup. Above and below the central band are alternating black and white diagonal shapes, the black ones look like shark fins

Bottom left: a central reddish-orange band delineated with a white line.  Above the central band are swirling, spiralling white lines against a black background, and below the central band are alternating white and black diagonal lines.

Bottom right: all set against a black background. A central band delineated with white lines contains white β€˜s’-shaped diagonal white stripes. Above the central band a row of red dots outlined with white circles. Below the central band a single white line on the black background.

This type of Minoan pottery is known as Kamares Ware, named after the Kamares Cave on Mount Ida on the Greek island of Crete where this kind of pottery was first discovered. Kamares Ware vessels were luxury items produced by palace workshops at Phaistos and Knossos on Crete. These five cups were excavated at Phaistos and are dated 1800-1700 BC.

Minoan cups made by Bronze Age potters some 3,800 years ago!

In these dark days, three things give me hope:

1) Dogs exist.
2) So does general anesthestic.
3) If you can’t stop hiccuping, there’s a nerve in your chest they can cut.

"Left on the economy, right on the culture," is just fascism in the end. Also it will never take you left on the economy in the long run, because a machine built for eating people will keep eating people.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

With that in mind, I have to ask the rebels: do you actually care about justice and disabled people's right to life, or was it only ever about votes for you? #disability #TakingThePIP

Honestly, the more I look at Starmer's deal on disability benefits, the more it strikes me that what he is trying to say to rebels is that the new rules will apply to very few people voting in the next general election. #disability #TakingThePIP

There is one error in this article. Helen Joyce’s conversation with Helen Staniland in which she declared trans people were a huge problem in a sane world and their numbers should be reduced, was made public 10 hours before Alice took her own life on 26th May 2022, not 2023 as stated n the article.

Employer required to accommodate immunocompromised employees during communicable disease outbreaks Measles outbreaks raise issue of accommodation similar to COVID-19

The BC Human Rights Tribunal found an employer guilty of discriminating against a disability when they forced an immunocompromised employee to work onsite during a disease outbreak.

This is a big deal for people who are being forced back into the office.

British people are not any more transphobic than anyone else, "TERF Island" is just a statistical error. Transphobia Jo who lives in a cave and does 10,000 transphobias a day is an outlier and should not have been counted
