Leute, keine Dissonanz zwischen Opposition und Regierung in eurem Artikel beschrieben. Warum also liest sich die Schlagzeile so?
Sorry I should specify I am talking about cis lesbians here.
Yes, and I’m saying that some lesbians were also very much thinking this might be a good policy, including some butch lesbians who are now faced with the realisation that they invited an examination of themselves every time they go to the bathroom.
More than a few lesbians with my physicality and dress sense part of this though
Hard to understand why without assuming a lack of understanding of ‘unintentional’ consequences
Sadly not sure this leads to aha moment and deeper queries into the inhumanity of their views
In den USA übernehmen private Plattformen und Konzerne immer mehr staatliche Funktionen. Wissenschaftler:innen machen dieses System nun sichtbar: Auf einer interaktiven Webseite zeigen sie den „Authoritarian Stack“ und wie dieser zunehmend auch nach Europa greift.

This moment from our latest episode with science writer @edyong209.bsky.social is 🔥
We asked Ed — how do we talk up the benefits of science in the face of government cuts? He told us that's the wrong approach. 🧪

Cyanoacrylate. But I really don't think that's advisable.

I’m not sure either for that reason, there seems to be no info available on what the number of charity versus ballot entries is, but the Great North Run has always (even 15 years ago) been difficult to get in by ballot and always appeared to have a big part of guaranteed charity places.
I think the pool of ballot places must be *considerably* smaller than the total. Most are purchased by charities, I believe.
It’s right to support immigration whether or not it benefits us economically or socially
Unbedingt!
Ich bin in Marburg geboren und aufgewachsen - ja es ist sehr schön. Als 19 Jährige hat es mich aber in die große weite Welt gezogen … nach Mainz 😂😂
Hallo Marburg ❤️
Es ist beschämend.
Der VS warnt vor tödlichen Angriffen unter anderem auf queere Menschen und das fällt dem Kanzler ein.

Foto von zwei leuchtend bunten, lachenden Drag Queens mit pinken Haaren. Text: „Widersetze dich der Forderung nach Unauffälligkeit!“ Das muss zum Ende des Pride Month und kurz vor Beginn des Disability Pride Month noch mal gesagt werden, schreibt taz-Autorin Simone Dede Ayivi
Wer nicht der Norm entspricht, soll sich wieder ducken: queer, fett, nicht christlich, behindert, migrantisch. Das kommt nicht infrage!

By shifting to the right on disability support cuts, anti trans, anti-immigration policies, Labour doesn't draw those who support such policies away from Reform, they provide free advertising for Reform's arguments, while losing those who disagree with such hostile policies. 4/
Why anyone is still on that platform is beyond me. It is a direct threat to democracy. Today would be a very good day to leave it if you are still there. Govt’s have a duty to leave it in my view and politicians must too—it will distort how you see the world, nobody is immune from algorithms.
We want everyone in the chemical sciences community to feel welcome, supported and valued, so we're sad to see some people seize on yesterday's supreme court ruling with anti-trans messages. Today, we're highlighting our resources on allyship for trans colleagues and friends

I think liberals in the West need to understand that they have not stumbled across any kind of contradiction or hypocrisy in the Global far right. When they said “people have a right to free speech” they simply never saw racialised people as people to begin with 🧵

For context, the average UK university is making an annual loss of £10-20M, an existentital threat requiring research cuts, course closures, and job losses.
The *profits* of Springer Nature alone, at 28% of £1.6bn are >£400M per annum.
East Germany underwent way more thorough denazification than the West.

You can see how badly the billionaire class that supported Jay Bhattacharya's rise on social media wants him to take over the NIH by the amount of white-washing and fawning pieces written by mainstream outlets 🤮
The NIH, with its pesky researchers, has been a thorn in their eye for a long time
