I'm enjoying Small Prophets so far, it feel very different to most of what's on TV at the moment. And I do love Pearce Quigley

I remember watching episode one of this with the sound turned way down so vividly

I have just been informed that this Sunday marks the Kenneth Williams centenary, and I am impossibly excited.

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras.

This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

I'm sorry WHAT?!

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Share a good news story first because this one hit like a tonne of bricks

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

Community History Day means multi cultural/community catering including chocolate plantain cake!

Talks on women in archaeology, the many faces of Roman Britain, LGBTQ+ musicians, using imagination to bring history alive and using Facebook for local history research. Fascinating morning @stalbansmuseums.bsky.social

If I don't do it who will, if it's lost then it's lost.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Oh wow, that's a lot of books but also a lot of joy!

If you don't have Bookshop.org saved for all your book shopping needs instead of that other website why not?

Very very accurate

A few other quick shots from the protest:

To my friends from LiveJournal I still think about you Wonder if you finally quit, Do you still speak to your mom? I remember when you went to Japan How you swore you'd never forgive him. I can't remember to take my meds but I remember you wanted to live on a houseboat. It's a strange intimacy, all of us unspooling across decades of internet space Like balls of yarn leaving a trail behind us of everywhere and everyone we've ever been I hope you got your houseboat. I hope you got everything. -Hayley DeRoche
