🇺🇸&🇬🇧 politics, food stuff, maybe 🧶 things. High tendency to repost academic job openings of various disciplines. I hate writing bios, if you know me feel free to suggest edits. I'll be over there, reading or playing NMS or ONI probably.

Just as a note, I tend to block 'people' who follow me but have never interacted with me and don't appear to be legitimate people accounts. I usually assume that you're a bot and/or scraping data 🤷🏻‍♀️ or selling something. Had my first spicy content follow today 🤣 I uh, was not her target market.

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.

Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here:

All told, I earn about £4/hour.

If i went and got a minimum wage job, and someone else had to be professionally paid to provide care, it would cost more than 3 times what I would earn.

People like me save the government 2/3rds in care costs.

Write about that.

Shout out to @michaelhobbes.bsky.social for repeatly hammering home the point that if transphobes had evidence of their claims—giant waves of transition regret! Huge numbers of children getting trans surgeries! A surge of SA in women's prisons!—then they would actually just show that evidence

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

I can remember when someone with military sigint experience attempted to tell folks here that there are always vulnerabilities, even in Signal, and he was run off the platform for it by some big accounts.

Its not if a way is found when it comes to networked systems, it's when.

Reminder: Right now, Democrats have a chance to stand up to Trump's chaos. Trump just requested an additional $1.5 trillion in military funding. We cannot hand over a huge check to a President intent on committing war crimes. I will do everything in my power to block it.

The horror of sitting across from a Trump voter is the realization that they do not believe in universal human rights. Simple as.

They believe in a tiered, racist and patriarchical system of humanity, and they're voting to ensure they remain at the top of it.

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military.

The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him.

Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

The Artemis II crew just gave us an 80's sitcom intro and it's absolutely hilarious! Freeze frames, cheesy grins, theme song energy. These are the four humans who are about to around the Moon. NASA said fun and we are here for it!

Antivaxxers care, above all else, about eradicating my existence. I'm autistic. I "talk funny."

I'm also the emergency management worker who recalculated the capacities of disaster relief shelters to allow for social distancing in 2020. Do any neurotypicals even WANT that job?

I don't know why I'm still surprised that people don't fundamentally understand that a platform that is a public one-to-many posting architecture also means the 'many' can communicate with the 'one'.

You'd think that recipes would be something AI is good at because so much is based on established ingredient ratios and techniques, but instead AI will hallucinate nonsensical ingredient amounts or recipe steps that any mildly competent cook can recognize, but people who can't cook fall for.

A country where Flag Officers are dismissed on the whim of a president or a secretary of Defense -- and where it's tolerated by those in a position to stop it -- is a country in decline

Combined with the story of Hegseth overlooking black officers for promotion for explicitly racist reasons, it’s not unreasonable to wonder if the regime is deliberately undermining the combat readiness of the US military.

12% of the US military are children of immigrants. 30-43% are BIPOC.

Hey children's #book #authors, it's cool when you include recipes with your stories. We are making the chicken adobo from Mabuhay!: A Graphic Novel by Zachary Sterling.

A graph summarizes one of the major points made by Neue Zürcher Zeitung's discussion of the collapse under Trump of the US dollar as a reserve currency. This will have adverse consequences for the US economy for decades, but major US media are seemingly oblivious to what is happening.

And you don't have to take my random internet person word for it, see gov link about the state of agriculture.

The UK grew into the place it is today on the back of imports and colonial extraction. "Self sufficiency" is something to work towards but not achievable at current pop levels. 3/3

Even readjusting the mix for what is farmed, there's simply no way to feed the population with domestic farming and fishing. This isn't about 'just eat seasonally'. Its about total calories and nutritional deficiencies, and let us not forget tea and coffee are imports.

I read a silly comment in a thread of remorseful Leave voters and I want to talk about it. They claimed they want the UK to be self sufficient and that's why they still support leaving, but wanted more free movement.

Listen. 70% of UK land is agriculture, but almost half of food is imported. 1/3

Look, if this country ever gets through this, MAGA memorabilia needs to be treated like Nazi memorabilia. Trump's signature should be akin to scarlet letter. Having a MAGA hat in your house should be like having Klan robes or family photos taken at a lynching.
