So apparently, if you ask the US government, having human rights in your country is a violation of your citizens human rights?

Eadred, king of the English, died #OTD in 955. Over the course of his reign, difficult relations with the north – Ripon Minster was torched and the Archbishop of York locked up – seemed to give way to mutual respect. Northumbria finally became a permanent part of England in 954. #medievalsky

2558 years ago, on the 23rd of November 534 BCE, the poet Thespis of Icaria was the first to speak as a character in a play instead of as himself, according to Ancient Greek sources and Aristotle as well. He is called the Inventory of Tragedy and is the origin of the word 'thespian'. #otd #history 🗃️

Been playing the Witcher 3, and after over 40 hours of gameplay finally found Ciri. God damn the wait was worth it that scene was beautiful.

I’ve been sitting on this one for a while. This was first jotted down like back around March, but it didn’t feel like the right time. I wanted to pull the trigger on it in August, but a friend gave me some great advice to let it marinate for a more appropriate setting.

Putin's ambitions to conquer Ukraine and recreate the Russian Empire pose a once-in-a-generation threat to the whole of Europe. We cannot allow Trump to reward his aggression.
The Prime Minister must use this opportunity to call for Russia to be removed from the G20.

The trans community’s trust in the NHS’ new puberty blocker trial is low and I can’t help but wonder whether they could have prevented that by involving ANY trans people in its design or operation, and maybe not involving several people who have attended conferences of anti-LGBTQ hate groups

The “deal” deprives Ukraine of everything it has won by withstanding Russian aggression and defending the borders of Europe.
It rewards Russian lawlessness—and makes America complicit in the lawlessness.
It’s the end of post WWII American power.

Seriously this C17 poem is (accidentally?) incredibly affirming. He is embarrassed he guessed "wrongly" his aunt would have a baby boy, so the whole poem is like, you don't know that you didn't have a boy just because of what kind of body the baby was born with. People change sexes all the time! 🏳️⚧️

And if all things, then why not sexes too?"

Ukraine is on the brink of an historic betrayal by Trump to Putin.
Keir Starmer must bring our European allies together to back Zelensky, starting by seizing frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.
