Happy Thanksgiving
A four-panel meme from the animated show King of the Hill. In the first panel, John Redcorn, an indigenous man, responds “Yes?” while looking at a blond boy Bobby Hill in a classroom. In the second panel, Bobby looks confused and asks, “Are you sure it’s the white man who did all that stuff?” The third panel shows Bobby gesturing toward himself and saying, “Because I come from white people,” and the fourth panel continues with him saying, “and this is the first I’m hearing of it.”

To those celebrating Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for this fandom & the friends I’ve made. You’ve continually brought a smile to my face & kept me sane thru the B.S. From me to you, whoever you are, wherever you are, allow me to raise a glass to you in spirit.

From the Orion family to yours. LLAP 🥃🖖🏻
star trek lower decks fan art illustration. It's my take on a Norman Rockwell painting. It features the Lower Deckers, Mariner, Boimler, T'Lyn, Rutherford, Tendi, and Chad the Corn Dog Vendor. Tendi is dressed in her science gear and is serving one massive corn dog, with corn dog drumsticks, to her crewmates. In the bottom right corner, some green duck has invited themselves to dinner.

Curriculum Reform: Climate, Justice and Missed Opportunities
The DfE’s Curriculum and Assessment Review and the government’s response promise a “world-class curriculum for all” by 2028. There are wins: climate and sustainability named, oracy and media literacy pushed forward, and EBacc losing its grip. But there are gaps that matter.

While improvements are noted, significant gaps remain in curriculum time and assessment for climate education. Action steps for school leaders to mitigate shortfalls include embedding climate education into policies, assessing decolonial practices, and enhancing teacher training.

Still my favourite "What is GIS" video explainer. 60 seconds long, great animation and interesting narrative. Perfect as a class starter or refresher #geographyteacher #GIS

"You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it" | My commentary on Bill Gates' flawed new climate missive for @thebulletin.org: thebulletin.org/2025/10/you-...
You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

Important.
@transactualuk.bsky.social have released a new report about the harm caused by the Supreme Court misjudgement & the EHRC's interpretation of it.

It shows how the ruling & interpretation is also harming cis women. Those it was supposed to "protect".

transactual.org.uk/wp-content/u...
“It’s made everything much worse for me. I’m a cis woman and it was supposed to protect me. I was never scared of men in the first place. I didn’t need this ruling, but now we’ve got it I am now scared of some women, so will avoid the places they gather in their so-called safe women only spaces.” CIS WOMAN, ENGLAND “The most recent is that I went to the ladies’ loo at Victoria station. A group of young women gathered around me and told me I should get out saying ‘don’t you know you’re not allowed in here anymore’. I … locked myself in a loo. They stood outside and were banging on the door and shouting that they were going to call the police and that I was ‘disgusting’ and had no right to be born and all sorts of horrible things …I’m a cis woman and just happen to be tall and quite flat chested and wear my hair short. Before the ruling any challenges had been gentle, like ‘oh by the way this is the ladies’ and people were embarrassed or apologetic when I said ‘it’s okay I’m a girl’. but now it’s aggressive and horrible…” CIS WOMAN, ENGLAND I felt so ashamed. I avoided using public toilets for weeks. Gender-non-conforming cis woman, East Midlands

Disasters are not natural. Geography doesn’t make anyone a prisoner. Natural processes and the natural shape of our land and seas have been made fraught by the coloniality of the human race, and weaponised by those with power.
