🚨This is an emergency🚨
This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life.

Data indicates that dogs are considerably MORE likely to eat their owners after they die than cats are.
I like to periodically remind people of this

we spent thousands of years breeding dogs to like humans and collaborate with us - we have more of a “begrudging standoff between equals” thing going on with pigs
However to be fair dogs eat humans way more than most people know or want to know

The very colourful rood screen at the Church of All Saints in Earls Barton, Northamptonshire, has some unusual decoration…it was re-painted in 1935 by Henry Bird, who happened to be a lepidopterist and incorporated hundreds of butterflies into his design!

🧵(1) The Porphyrian Tree is a logic diagram used to explain Aristotle's "Categories," as outlined in Porphyry's commentary the "Isagoge.” The tree progressively subdivides “Being” into genera and species, ultimately reaching “Man,” with the names of individual people at the roots.
