Here are the current 246 signatories of this letter. We are all active Bluesky users, many of us from Gaza but most of us are not. We all however think this app is a better place when the voices of Palestinians in Gaza are heard.

Unless you're prepared to actually redistribute wealth and power the only kind of change you can offer is some variation on "we will improve your lives by making other people's worse".
Pendle and Clitheroe's Labour MP Jonathan Hinder on immigration policy:

– ECHR "not good enough" and needs significant change
– Should be fewer universities and doesn't mind some going bust
– "Less and less" integration means people living "parallel lives"

Okay. Not-a-lawyer-butt.

This to me is the tell. Women's oppression defined explicitly as a "shared disadvantage" resulting from "shared biology".

These are steps to formalize womanhood as a reproductive role, synonymizing it with certain features of anatomy that are "naturally" disadvantaged.

Somewhere between 5,000 - 15,000 homosexual men were sent to the concentration camps.
The death rate for these men may have been as high as 60%.
The liberation of the concentration camps did not grant liberty to these men, many of them were reimprisoned under buggery laws.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

“Gisèle has waived her right to anonymity, saying she wanted to make "shame swap sides" from the victim to the rapist”

We all stand behind Gisèle. I hope this sliver of justice will bring some peace to her and many other women.

Labour's war on trans people should be held against the party forever, in the same way that Section 28 is still held against the Tories. This is not something that can or should ever be forgiven. Someday, a future Labour leader will offer a tearful apology for this. They should be told to fuck off.

Friendly neighborhood biologist here. I see a lot of people are talking about biological sexes right now. Lots of folks make biological sex seem really simple. Well, since it’s so simple, let’s find the biological roots, shall we? Let’s talk about sex...[a thread]

May as well dive right in.

Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball?

According to a Sumerian proverb, “The dog understands ‘Take it!’ It does not understand ‘Put it down!’”
