In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.
We could be 5 to 10 years from toothpaste that can regrow tooth enamel.
The scales are beginning to tip in favor of Mars once sustaining life. We’ll potentially know for sure by 2040.
The blue macaw is up to 160 individuals from an all-time low of 7, and confirmed to be breeding in the wild.
Would you like some good news? A new vaccine has just been approved for protecting koalas from chlamydia, which is one of their leading causes of death.
Boy do we have some exciting news… to everyone who’s been asking if we’re taking on new writers, the answer is finally yes!

Meeting needs can be easier on home lot, but harder then to transfer between Sims if it becomes necessary
People who claim to be progressive and "left" are currently body shaming an image of Lucy Connolly upon her release from prison.
I don't care how disgusting the person is, body shaming is never okay.
Call out people's actions and words, not their body. That's just bigotry.
re-upping this! trans teachers/educators/administrators of all kinds are welcome. I’d really love to hear from y’all.
The benefits cuts would NOT save any money.
They would cost multiple times more in wider economic effects (not that this should be the main reason).
It's the ultimate in short-termism, and it'll harm generations of people to come.
Been struggling with the knowledge that I'm going to be tired forever lately.
No, next week I think
I love the vibes but not got much feeling for the gameplay
A screenshot in the sims showing a garden area with rocky paths. There is a piano on the left, a host station with plant-draped menus, and fairy lights. A purple table is in the foreground, and on the left in a corner is another purple table with chairs and purple flowers. There are fairy lights in the background
Screenshot of a garden restaurant in the sims with pink building on the left with thatch and stained glass, hedges and fairy lights round the edge, and purple tables and flowers dotted around
Screenshot in the sims of a garden restaurant showing a little nook with a 6 person table surrounded by hedges, fairy lights and purple and white flowers
Screen shot from the sims from garden restaurant showing a fairy statue, the corner of a thatched, pink building with lanterns and stained glass, a hedge, bird home and purple table and chairs. A sim in the foreground does pressups
Feeling inspired by the upcoming expansion, and my sims were feeling bored of their favourite Italian restaurant, so I made a fairy inspired garden restaurant. Perfect for a romantic evening, or sims who want to dream of fairies, and it fits right in in Henford-on-Bagley #TheSims4 #Sims #Sims4
Two paths memes. Person: Autistic person. Sunny Path: "Simply acepting that you are clearly Autistic Stormy path: "Constaltny seeking Proof that you are Autistic"
I made this meme for you.
I often talk to ppl who read Pratchett as a kid who are sad there's nothing like it for kids today. Well, that isn't true any more. The Spick and the Span is perfect funny MG fantasy with footnotes for kids who know that the world is a bit of a scam but also a wonderful, warm place. #Kidlituk
We're aware that some Local Authority social services - egged on by Wes Streeting and the NHS - are harassing loving families with trans children. We have commissioned legal advice from a leading firm on how to deal with those Local Authorities. goodlaw.social/25re
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend starting at the beginning
#sims4 #thesims4 anyone else not got the option to transfer a small business? They're her adult children, with a good relationship
Pride Month matters, and I wanted to do something small but meaningful through my chocolate shop.
This limited-edition bar is available just for June, and all profits go to the LGBT Foundation. ✨
Please check it out or share if you can!
ADHD and Autism are not “over-diagnosed”.
There is no medication to “treat” Autism.
ADHD meds can be lifesaving.
Actual diagnoses are far lower than societal instances of ADHD & Autism, and waiting lists are years/decades long… proving they’re massively under-diagnosed.
Anyone had a bug where their sim moves and gets no money for the actual house and furniture? #sims4 #thesims
We've all been loving the conclave drama, but one of my favourite bits of Catholic Lore is how they ended up locking a load of Cardinals in a room for days until they've picked a Pope.
People say it's to prevent external lobbying and to help them hear the holy spirit but that's not the whole story.
Fuck Harry Potter
Go read Discworld

I'm still waiting for the inspiration for your click together sun room
Disabled isn’t a dirty word.
Disability isn’t a failure.
Disability isn’t a choice.
Humans aren’t defined by economic value.
