My next video, filmed last night, is about how science enables abuse. Here's one of the thumbnail options I made. Doing some editing this evening.

Frosty faces on the chickadees today. These tiny birds maintain a body temperature of 40C - that's a 70C gradient across only a few centimeters from the outside air to the bird's core! These little guys blow my mind. #birds 🌿

Re: Artemis.
I don't care about Moon missions. I don't care about Mars missions. I care about tackling climate change and safeguarding the future for our species and global ecology. The priorities of government funding bodies are incomprehensible to me.

European goldfinch in progress. Haven't painted on silk in a while. I forgot to photograph this with Customary Scale Penny (gasp), but the weave being clearly visible is some indication of its tininess.

Some people on BlueSky are very upset at me for posting this. They're claiming it's all sensationalist lies, and that I'm trying to make trans people scared. That's really upsetting because everything I said below is true. Labour is trying to ban us from all single-sex spaces, this is a fact.
🚨 BREAKING | Wes Streeting confirms Labour is actively working to BAN trans women AND trans men from female spaces, describing their presence as "unpleasant".
Streeting confirmed to MumsNet that Labour aims to exclude ALL trans people from single-sex spaces.
