Emily Hay explains how James rejected the attempts of others to vilify his mother, Mary, Queen of Scots. Although their relationship remained highly transactional in life, James honoured his mother with her magnificent tomb many years after her death

"Woman" is now legally classified as "broodmare," I'm sure this will have absolutely zero long term consequences for reproductive healthcare down the line.
After all it's not like anti-trans agitation is part of a far wider far-right, explicitly natalist movement or anything, right?

One thing I missed that Jess draws attention to is that the court very explicitly refers to pregnancy--that is, to gestational capacity--as the measure of womanhood, in order to exclude trans women from the category.
Well. What else is there to say?
There you go. Now we all know what a woman is.

I wish universities would 'start to ask questions' about how many academic 'leadership' roles they can afford!
The proliferation of vice/deputy/pro/associate 'leadership roles' over the last 10-20 years has been quite extraordinary.

'Universities are starting to ask questions about how much research they can afford to do, and whether to cap their losses, bringing “difficult decisions about the activities they can continue to pursue”, according to senior figures in the sector.' Sadly, 'starting' started earlier than this.

My favourite part is obviously Mary making an iconic appearance, but for some reason she’s in demure white rather than martyrs red here 🪓
