In #Gaza, tens of thousands of displaced families are sheltering in fragile tents and overcrowded sites, surrounded by destruction.

Around 79,000 people are sheltering in UNRWA emergency shelters and nearby areas, many under severe access constraints.

Humanitarian needs remain immense.

I love living in #Orkney but the downside is not getting to see my nephew as often. Lovely to get a warm welcome from him today (he's 3) and be dragged straight into playing with him. Good to be able to have a few days with my brother's family now for quality time together ❤️

The BBC is really showing its arse with its editorial guidelines recommending the use of a pseudoscientific dogwhistle in reporting that mentions trans people.

It's important that they're not allowed to continue using fake-scientific insults in peace.

New piece:

‘Biological male’ is a pseudoscientific dogwhistle
The BBC should be better than this.

Discworld made me a better person and those three quotes get to the core of it - a sort of outraged decency from a man angry at the state of the world and the cruelty therein who also knew what we were capable of at our best
This, the Boots Theory of Economic Unfairness, and the "treating people as things" passage are the basis of really good politics, I think

Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men

“‘What’s your name, pictsie?’ she said.

‘No’-as-big-as-Medium-Sized-Jock-but-bigger-than-Wee-Jock-Jock, mistress. There’s no’ that many Feegle names, ye ken, so we ha’ to share.’”
Discworld QOTD, from Snuff

"You should look for those who can’t believe that the law would ever catch them, who believe that they act out of a right that the rest of us do not have. The job of the officer of the law is to let them know that they are wrong!"
Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight

"Witches knew that mysterious omens were around all the time. The world was always nearly drowning in mysterious omens. You just had to pick the one that was convenient."

I’m entering The Teenager as potential winner of #Duvetknowitschristmas

He’s had to move from his bedroom to the unconverted attic

Cardboard floor & headboard is a nice touch which I’m sure he appreciates

He think it looks like he’s living in a meth den

This year we’ve been upgraded to “The Annexe of Estrangement”.

Apart from a model shark on the bed and an excess of gym equipment, all is looking good.

But what the hell is going on with the pumpkin summoning charm on the other side of the room? And who needs 5 freezers?
