If you don't like our trans inclusive stance, don't visit. It's not like you've been visiting anyway, keep that up.

The Vagina Museum is trans inclusive. We always have been and we always will be. As long as there's a Vagina Museum, we cannot be bullied or bought to change our stance on this.

Fifty years ago, if the right decisions had been made, today might look very different. We likely would not be talking about a climate crisis or a climate emergency.

But the right decisions were not made then. Instead, our capitalist rulers pushed ahead with their growth-at-any-cost mantra. And now we face certain disaster.

There are still actions to be taken, a struggle to be waged, in hopes of making the collapse of society slightly less costly for some people in some places. We must engage in that fight.

But suffering is inevitable, great suffering, both for humans and for the natural environment that our industry and our consumerism are in the process of destroying.

Chart showing "Trends in atmospheric CO2 versus global temperature change."

Amount of CO2 rapidly climbs from ~315 ppm in 1960 to ~418 ppm in 2020. Today, in 2025, the level is ~430 ppm.

Graphic also notes when various meetings were held and agreements were made to limit or reduce carbon emissions. None of this has had any effect.

History made: πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ή takes lead in effort to stop deep-sea mining

While countries like Spain and France have adopted parliamentary resolutions in opposition to deep-sea mining, #Portugal is - so far - the only European country to have translated these concerns into a binding law to adopt a deep-sea mining moratorium.

How sad.

The phrase "diamonds are a girls best friend" comes from Queen Victoria, who had hundreds of diamonds but zero friends.

4 panel comic:  Panel 1: a pink blob character with a happy smiley face seems cheerful. It says β€œyou are so great!” Panel 2: we seem him a bit more up close. A little heart symbol pops up above his head. They say β€œthank you for existing!”. Something from outside the frame goes β€œhaha” Panel 3: we see now that the response came from a little yellow dog with a blue collar. He says β€œI’m just a small dog!” Panel 4: the pink blob is now hugging the little dog. More hearts pop up. He says β€œexactly, my friend” and they are both happy.

From @pzmyers - researchers travelling to US academic conference should be aware, agents can search your phone for anti-Trump content. This is no joke, border agents have broad powers to detain you without due process under antiterror legislation. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngul #academia #conferences #travel #usa

From #NotesOnGrowth: "Britain’s system of nature protection is the worst of both worlds. It makes building infrastructure and housing slower and more expensive than it ought to be. And it does a crap job of protecting nature: many of our key biodiversity indicators are flashing red." samdumitriu.com/p/have-we-solv #uk #environment #development #planning
