#Introduction Hello squirrels, I am almost as famous as that other Geri, but unlike her, I have a neurodegenerative disease called #Dystonia, but it is only others who see me as disabled. I am also a big-bottomed, anarchist, green type and a connoisseur of fine wine, although I will quaff any old rubbish.I am a poor speller and swear more than a decent person ought to.I love people who love other people and hate those who do not.I mean no harm.*snogs*

The marches had nothing to do with those stabbings, yet when Starmer appeared on BBC Radio 4, he called for more policing of language and argued some protests should be stopped altogether. While newspapers publish racist caricatures of the Green leader and TV pundits talk as though Polanski is not a real Jew, we are expected to walk on eggshells when opposing Israel’s war crimes. One word out of place and an entire movement could be shut down.Globalise The IntafadaGo and fuck yourself Keir Starmer

@stuxHey Stux, I know you love animals. Can you please remove this video in light of the information I have found out about the place where they are kept?Thanks x. Toba Aquarium in Mie Prefecture, Japan, is one of the largest and most well-known aquariums in the country. While it is famous for housing rare species like the Dugong (it is the only place in Japan to see one), it has faced several criticisms and complaints regarding its animal welfare practices.The complaints generally fall into three categories:1. Enclosure Size and StimulationThe most frequent complaint from international visitors and animal welfare advocates is the size of the tanks.Marine Mammals: Visitors have expressed concern over the enclosures for seals, sea lions, and walruses, noting that they appear cramped and lack the depth or distance needed for natural swimming behaviors. Concrete Habitats: Some critics describe the exhibits as "sterile," noting a lack of natural substrate (like sand or rocks) or "enrichment" (toys or tasks to keep the animals mentally active), which can lead to boredom and stress.2. "Zoochosis" and Stereotypical BehaviorSome visitors have reported seeing signs of zoochosis—psychological distress in captive animals.Repetitive Motions: There are reports of animals (particularly the otters and seals) engaging in "stereotypical behaviors," such as swimming in repetitive circles or pacing.Interaction Stress: The aquarium features shows (like the walrus show) where animals perform for crowds. While many find this entertaining, some critics argue that the loud music, applause, and constant human interaction can be stressful for the animals. 3. Open-Top Tanks and SafetyThe layout of Toba Aquarium is unique because it doesn't follow a fixed path, and many of its tanks are open-topped. Foreign Objects: Critics have pointed out that open tanks make it easy for guests to accidentally (or intentionally) drop items into the water, which can be fatal if swallowed by the animals. Lack of Supervision: There have been complaints that some "touch tanks" or open areas aren't monitored closely enough to prevent children or adults from mishandling the creatures. The Perspective GapIt is worth noting that there is often a "cultural gap" in these complaints.JAZA Standards: Toba is a member of the Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums (JAZA), which has different standards than the American AZA.Conservation vs. Display: While the aquarium has been praised for its success in long-term care—its dugong, Serena, has broken world records for longevity in captivity—critics argue that "staying alive" is not the same as "thriving" in a naturalistic environment.

National broadcasters from Slovenia, Ireland, and Spain will not air the #Eurovision Song Contest this week, following through on their historic boycott of the music competition over Israel’s participation.Slovenian viewers will instead enjoy a series of films, documentaries, and other shows under the theme “Voices of #Palestine,” shedding light on people’s stories and the context of current events in the Middle East.“We have a whole week [of TV, radio and digital content] and we are showing the Israeli activists who fight for the rights of the Palestinians,” said Natalija Gorščak, president of the Slovenian broadcaster’s Company
