Took slightly longer than I would have wanted but I am now part of the #mastodonmigration: @inesdoesscience@drosophila.social ! Hoping to find more #Drosophila and #postdoc peeps over there #ScienceTwitter

@BirthTrauma The thing this article doesn't spell out, but we can work out w the numbers given: if doulas are involved in 0.96% of births w dead babies or mothers But doulas are involved in 0.33% of all births That means births w doulas are overrepresented amongst births that end in death

"I have seen with a colleague, for example, that a woman was persuaded [by her doula] not to have a fourth degree repair in hospital. And this woman ended up with a colostomy." bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

SAM: Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something. FRODO: What are we holding on to, Sam? SAM: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

Strangely, it's moments like this that I feel most lucky to be queer. I think about our elders. How hopeless they must have felt. How easy it would have been to give up. But they fought for the life I get to live today. What an insult it would be, to them, to succumb to despair

La DANA y la victoria de Trump nos debería llevar a tomar en serio las consecuencias de la desinformación en medios y redes (el apoyo de Elon Musk-X es un ejemplo). El uso de bulos como herramienta en campañas no penaliza y su difusión en medios tampoco. Hay que tomar medidas.

Hoy los americanos han preferido votar a un criminal y violador, para que no los gobierne una mujer. Hoy ha ganado el odio. Han ganado los bulos, la desinformación, el espectáculo mediático, el fascismo, el machismo y el racismo. O nos despertamos ya, o no habrá mañana...

“The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.”

“Democracies aren’t overthrown; they’re given away.” — George Lucas

Can we now finally have a serious conversation about an anti-fascist economics?

Lib Dems Ed Davey has taken a stronger line than the PM:

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

One thing you need to remember is that King Charles gets £125m a year from you for nothing. And Prince William gets £25m a year for nothing. They don't need a single extra penny, yet they rob and they cheat the NHS, Councils and poor tenants for everything they can.

Interesting how it's always "vote according to Biblical values!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

Pues una organización nazi ha hecho una foto de unos senegaleses en la nave con las donaciones, rodeados de otros voluntarios blancos y todos tan tranquilos, y se ha inventado que han ido a robar. Para los de “da igual la ideología, lo importante es ayudar”

Should we abolish the monarchy? RT for larger sample size

Una cosita, Roro, lo de "hablé con asociaciones y nadie nos quiso ayudar" es una mentira como un templo porque ha salido gente de la Meseta hacia Valencia en caravana. Que has colaborado con neonazis y ya está, petarda. A ver si te cancelan ya de una vez.

El relato precisamente es creerse el cuento de que los fascistas son los únicos que están ayudando, cuando lo que son es los únicos que están tratando de darse publicidad con la desgracia. Venderse como los únicos salvadores es Fascismo 101. No se lo compremos. No es verdad.

King Charles is the Patron of Macmillan cancer charity and Marie Curie end of life charity. He has made £22,000,000 charging them, and others (such as comic relief) rent at Camelford house. This is wrong.

Cuestión clave: ¿Por qué el Consell tardó 72h en movilizar recursos que estaban puestos a su disposición desde el Gobierno? No lo sabemos. Sí que esa demora ha provocado una lógica indignación que ha dejado vía libre al “todos los políticos son iguales”. El PP da por amortizado a Mazón si con ello consigue arrastrar a Sánchez. Este es el esquema en el que han proliferado las ratas ultras y que vale para entender cómo han transcurrido estos días.
