the feeling of warm sand through a towel, the sound of friends, conversation and waves, the smell of grilled food.
calm, and hope, and warmth.

This is an incredibly weak response from the EU, and a dangerous position to take.
Maduro's legitimacy is not the issue at hand. The US is acting as a rogue state, and will embolden other states to use unchecked military power for their own ends.
We need international law, not gangsterism.

I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela.
The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. (1/2)

i dunno who 'the aussie archive' is but they uploaded a good quality version of a short film i thought was lost from the internet. a short stop-motion film about death, life, and clockwork. it's beautiful and sad and i've wanted to see it again for 20 years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YI5...

@acollierastro.bsky.social Hiya, have you seen the most recent Kurzgesagt video about "crises in astronomy"? It describes a few challenges to the astrophysical status quo in such vague terms that felt really unsatisfying. I was just wondering if you'd covered them in any videos you've made already?

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Asylum seekers are not to blame for: the housing crisis, public services on their knees, or gender based violence.
It's our unequal, unjust, and unfair system.
And it's benefitting the people who keep trying to scapegoat migrants.

@wikimediafoundation.org - with regards to the UK's response to your challenge to the OSA, an obvious course of action is simply to block the entirety of the UK. none of our politicians are listening, and probably none will listen until prominent services do the obvious thing to avoid fines.

@legaleagle.tv heya, the latest video on nebula seems to have some really weird editing mistakes i think. there was a point there around the 19 minute mark in particular it felt like we got stuck in a time loop. very surreal!

seems like the new head of the EHRC is likely to be continuing the tradition of hating trans people, judging from her past support of TERF causes and organisations.
