We've been planning a big trip to the US with our 11 year old to celebrate him finishing cancer treatment next year.

Obviously planning has ceased in view of the current authoritarian regime in place there.

Saw this and felt it in my bones. I'm so sorry to all those who voted for Harris 😘

It's been on my list for a couple of years, but I got inspired by Jason Momoa and Jack Black sporting theirs for their big Minecraft Movie interview 🙌❤️

This just popped up on my memories from a few years ago and I felt it was worth sharing again...
Image of a post from user "childofdoom" that reads "my friend just texted me "it's not acceptable that trump feels good about himself and you don't" and I think that's the most motivational thing I've ever read"

I saw this the other day - they are setting up alternative "sources" to sow disinformation...
Text that reads: "Step 3. Hijack reform efforts to disguise what you're really doing & lend legitimacy & credibility Step 4. Only share controlled & ideological compliant "science" This new journal is step 3 in action. #scipub #academicsky" Followed by "Journal of the Academy of Public Health"

I just asked Google how many people were ultra religious as a percentage of the population in the US and UK. It came back even sharper than I expected (although skewed by the single bible belt state figure)...
The percentage of people who consider themselves to be "very religious" in the United Kingdom and the United States varies: United Kingdom A survey by Humanists UK found that only 3% of the population consider themselves to be "very religious". In 2021, the census in England and Wales found that less than half of the population identified as Christian. United States According to Wikipedia, states vary in religiousity, but in Mississippi, 63% of adults identify as "very religious". Pew Research Center found that 24% of U.S. adults identify as born-again or evangelical Protestants, down from 2007.
