Encouraging the policing of public spaces based on appearance and gender stereotypes is no way for a human rights regulator to behave.

The EHRC’s proposed Code of Practice is a misogynist’s charter, and the government must reject it.

Transgender guidance dubbed ‘misogynist’s charter’
Places such as hospital wards, gyms and leisure centres will reportedly be able to question transgender women over whether they should be using single-sex services based on how they look, their behavi...

The best Beach
Some beaches are grotty.  Some are crowded.  Some have no sand(!).  Many have far too many tourists (including me when I'm there).  This one...

Learning to draw; I'm thinking in terms of a future painting, but the scales will be very different! #SundaySketch #Art
A pencil sketch with a monument involving cubed blocks on the left and a stack of rocks on the right. There are hills and a few scattered trees in the background.

All out against transphobia! On Saturday, November 1, TERFS intend to march in London, demanding trans exclusionary, discriminatory legislation, and threatening trans people on our streets.

We cannot let this happen unchallenged.

We need as many people possible out again on 1st November!

A chicory endive (apparently!) and a red clover from a walk this week #wildflowerHour
A single, pale blue, chicory endive flower and its leaves (beyond the tight focus on the flower) below it. A single red clover - actually more lilac!

#Tyrannosaurus rex was named 120 years ago today (Oct 4, 1905). If you want to know all there is to know about the world's most iconic #dinosaur, the word is that my book "King Tyrant", published a few months back, is a good start. #fossils #paleontology #paleoart press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...
The cover of the book "King Tyrant: a natural history of Tyrannosaurus rex" covered with gleaming review comments and a load of 5 star (or nearly so) ratings. Do you not have a copy yet? You can get them wherever books are sold. I mean, I'm just an alt text caption so my judgment on this anything beyond image description is limited, but I hear Mark worked incredibly hard on this project and thinks it's the best thing he's ever published. He'd be really happy if you bought a copy, and perhaps additional ones for friends and family so you could have very informed conversations about T. rex and all the dinosaur biology it's revealed to us.

One I really didn't expect to see in the wild in the UK! On a little bit of unloved/waste land, this is Datura stramonium, aka Angel's Trumpet, Thornapple or Jimsonweed; it's quite the hallucinogen. Growing wild behind it were thistles and a tomato plant(!)

Big leaves, spiky seedcases and a flower bud - Quite a surprise!

It's really impossible to explain how overwhelmingly terrifying it is being a trans person right now. They are looking for any and every excuse to come after us.

in america, simply living with someone who might possibly be trans is terrorism now. everyone sees what their going to try to do now right
