I suggest that this propaganda isn't all it's cracked up to be. I offer Nuremberg and Man in a High Castle as exhibits A and B.

This is a different ban, it seems the Lords want to Amend the schools bill, I think the #HouseOfCommons want to bring in a different Law for this.

“We will grind you down” Tory peers fighting abolition of hereditary peers

Dining in House of #Lords canteen after #Labour came to power, one Labour adviser found themselves sitting opposite two #Tory #peers.

In particular, the pair were fuming about the forthcoming #abolition of #hereditary #peers. Both agreed, the adviser said, that there should be a deliberate strategy to undermine the government on all its legislation

Aargh, I've just realised the document I was relying on for all the courtesy titles for my Palace residents has got the common-at-the-time usage wrong, so now I have to go through and check every single one to see if they should be referred to as Lady Surname, Lady OwnFirstName, or Lady HusbandsFirstName.

On the plus side, I should be able to use a lot more Lady OwnFirstNames, which is a bit more user-friendly.

‼️ 23.03.2024 Selbsthilfetreffen in Sulz am Neckar ‼️

Seit Anfang 2024 gibt es nun eine Selbsthilfegruppe in 72172 Sulz am Neckar (Schwarzwald), die von Christin Löhner geleitet wird. Diese Selbsthilfegruppe ist für trans*, inter* und nicht-binäre Menschys, sowie deren Angehörige und Allies.

Diese neue Selbsthilfegruppe trifft sich an jedem 2. Freitag und an jedem 4. Samstag im Monat, ab 18 Uhr. Unter „Termine“ findet man immer die aktuellen Termine aller unserer Selbsthilfetreffen, Events und Aktionen.

Nächster Termin für die Selbsthilfegruppe in Sulz am Neckar: 23. März 2024 ab 18 Uhr

Der Eingang des Hauses befindet sich links hinter dem Haus von der Straße aus gesehen.

Sowohl in Sulz als auch in Horb gibt es Bahnhöfe. Im Notfall können wir auch Menschys vom Bahnhof abholen und wieder hin bringen. Außerdem gibt es bei uns auch mehrere Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten. Sollte jemand nicht mehr nach Hause wollen oder können (mangelns ÖPNV), darf man gerne bei uns das Gästezimmer in Anspruch nehmen.

PSA for all #PhD peers especially those in #PublicHealth and related areas.

Similarly #credentialed #peers calling you out for #HarmfulRhetoric #minimizing #Covid to people asking for #help online who don’t know any better—that critique is not harmful rhetoric. It might have #harmed your #feelings or your #ego but it is NOT the same as the actual #harm you are causing by using your credentials to encourage ppl to harm themselves bc you think they have #anxiety and can’t check your #ableism

‘Grubby horse trading’ in UK government over Honours list

UK constitutional politics has sunk, lower still

Negotiating over the honours list shows the grubby horse-trading that goes on around choosing new Lords

Every new peer has been handed a job-for-life in parliament, which means decades of influence legislating
