I had to buy a pregnancy test once and the cashier excitingly was like “omg!! what are you hoping for??” and I awkwardly was like... “uhh a negative..” and she looked so stunned and embarrassed and honestly she should have because DONT DO THAT.
The royals should really stop confiding in friends who will rat them out to the press.

FYI. Inuit are NOT part of First Nations, we do not have tribes and don't live on reservations.
Inuit means "People", we are people of the North. Inuk is singular for a member of the Inuit.
And please don't say Inuit people, you're saying people people when you say that.

when some of us side eye Extinction Rebellion for having a racism problem, many people ask why. Here's an example: comparing the police discrimination on Muslims with what (mostly white) climate change activists experience is not equivalent.

Prevent has discriminated against Muslim communities for years. Now the police want to target climate strikers too
Imagine your child being put on an watchlist for expressing 'excessive concern' about #ClimateBreakdown

PLEASE NOTE: The Daily Mali is a news site focused on Mali (in Africa).
We have nothing to do with Daily Mail & the publication of the article by ‘psychologist’ @TVpsychologist about #MeghanAndHarry.
We have no info as to #JoHemmings qualifications or the amount she was paid.
My mom has always referred to Hill's Science Diet (pet food) as "Science Hill Diet" and it is bizarrely infuriating.

Reasons why I prefer living in Joburg: just look at the humidity and barometric (I think?) pressure.

Climate change deniers and racists are fully overlapping venn circles.

Wasn't going to share it, but this is the calibre of the hate mail I've received in the past few weeks. This one came in 12 minutes into my shift and his opening salvo was so wild, I just had to respond. Outside the formatting, this is our exchange verbatim.

I've gotten a lot of hate mail for our latest article about the actual arson figures for this bushfire season. Some have accused us of using bias sources who are pushing a "climate alarmist agenda". Because nothing screams hippy lefty snowflake like the NSW Police.

TW: transphobia
It seems t*rfs have a new thing (or maybe it's just new to me?), which is saying that "everybody is nonbinary" because no one adheres 100% to gender *stereotypes*. So acknowledging the existence of nonbinary folks is anti-feminist or some such rubbish.

Sending love and solidarity to non-binary friends everywhere 💜✊🏽❤️
Glad to see #IAmNonbinary trending. Read through to learn more about the experiences of non-binary people.
And fight hate and bigotry everywhere.
