Ok, belated intro for any new followers. My name is Jessica. I absolutely love films, specially horror. I am also a big video game nerd.
I have severe ME and Long covid. I spend most days in bed feeling not great.
I hate any kind of bigotry. I am very woke!
I post lots of pictures of my dog!

If you are gender critical and celebrating today, I pity you.
To all my trans friends, you are always loved. Please stay strong. I can’t do much, but unlike a certain billionaire author celebrating today, I WILL march with you. Big hugs 🫂

On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a reminder to not close your eyes and turn away from what is happening in the US right now. Fascism is an assault on scientific integrity, knowledge, and innovation.

Just a line to express solidarity with Dr Upton who has had the courage to face down her critics in Scotland.
I know that she has the support of her work colleagues.
Her stand is important for all trans employees and their use of gender-appropriate facilities, to which they have every right.

This is facism in action. People will say science is apolitical, but as long as science is studied by humans, it will always be political. Deciding what gets studied and how is censorship.
Trump regime bans CDC scientists from publishing work that mentions trans or non-binary people. When fascists can't burn books anymore so easily because everything's electronic and international, they just ban people from writing them.

BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed.
Any unpublished manuscript mentioning certain topics, including gender and "LGBT," must be pulled or revised.

Had a productive chat with the doctor today. I have to have some more tests and an x-ray to see if I have arthritis. My whole family has it, so I really won’t be surprised if they find I do too.
Pain has been pretty bad this week so I had to get it checked.

Decided to start doing a bit more towards my book this week. I’ve got so much to work from now, I could never fit it all in. I just need to focus now on getting some structure together.
Whether it ever gets done or not, I have no idea. It has been a blast researching though.

52 years still doesn’t feel anywhere near to justice for those poor girls. I am so incredibly sorry for everyone affected. If hell does exist, I hope that monster has a front row seat.

Remember: ‘liking’ a post has no effect on its visibility here (unlike on Twitter).
To help good or informative posts get seen by other people, you have you repost them.
This feels like a big part of why it can often feel so quite here.

The world takes a real dive into the toilet bowl later today. I honestly feel like it’s all going mad.
To help, please enjoy a bit of dog lying on a hot dog!
Look out for each other and let’s hope that someday we get some adults back in charge.

This massive push for AI is such a huge mistake. Did nobody pay attention to Terminator 2? I honestly feel the world is going completely mad.
Anyway, I need a wee. Just going to see if there’s an AI to do it for me 🤖

Happy new year to everyone. Hold your furry friends close tonight during the fireworks. I will be buried under a dog.
Really hoping for a better year, but with the current state of the world, it’s not looking great.
