Artemis Potter

I do not think the police have ever raided the Quakers and been on the correct side of history

Same! Seems to be the vowels that slip me up.

Very useful pronouns labeller

Seems just to be a day for it, I had several joints come out at my physio appointment this morning.

As for the behaviour of the BM, I simply struggle to contain or express my contempt and fury that an institution that has so much power and academic/cultural cachet has made the decision to ignore the scope of the very history it holds and bow to the demands of a genocidal force.

This is before we even get into the fact that Palestine and the Palestinian people play key roles in all of the Abrahamic faiths and not in a role of enmity. Archaeology, history, religion, language, culture - Palestine is important.

As Sarah says in the quoted post, the name 'Palestine' is ancient. It is part of the history of humanity and must not be part of efforts by the Israeli state to erase the identity and history of a people who have roots as far back as the very beginnings of recorded global history.

I am absolutely furious and ashamed to have ever been a member of an institution that has caved to pressure to erase and cover up the history that it is supposed to be protecting and using to educate. I have had my issues with the BM before for their many missteps but this is the line. No further.

So this has got to be my favourite manuscript illumination ever.

Exciting news! Episode 1 of Pass the Spongia has been recorded! Next step is the editing and uploading process, along with banking episodes 2 and 3 ready for a launch (hopefully) next month!

The Romans loved their plumbing, and built large, underground cisterns in many settlements to provide water storage and distribution. These examples were excavated at the Hellenistic-Roman town Darazya, on the northern coast of Egypt.

Fantastic thread here

No - this was tried after Project Orpheus was abandoned & did not solve congestion & air pollution. Buses cannot replace rail.

What has worked exceptionally well re local transport recently is … the train (the Northumberland Line). If you want to understand why read @garethdennis.uk ‘s book.

Peter Mandelson issues secret notice demanding press leave him alone – read in full LATE on Friday evening, this notice was circulated from representatives of Peter Mandelson, via press regulator IPSO and the Press Association news…

BREAKING: Peter Mandelson just sent this secret notice to all UK media, demanding they leave him alone.

He uses IPSO clauses designed to support grieving families in a bid to stop scrutiny of his relationship with Epstein

We have published it in full.

The whole interview is a delight, and at the end he explains the setting of the Shakespeare speech he then performs stunningly - and it's utterly of the moment, about immigrants and those that want to abuse them and "send them back"

Well worth your time

If you watch nothing else today, this week.

This is absolutely disgusting behaviour from them, incredibly insulting to people like me who are desperate for level boarding as a reality, not just an AI vomited piece of impossible or impractical fantasy.

We run a railway close to the bone and with no extra capacity - the relationship between scale of problem and scale of disruption is going to continue to invert!

Seeing the news about the chaos on the railways down south and my first thought is wondering what @garethdennis.uk thinks about the whole thing!

Animalgesics. A paracetamole, ie: a mole with a body shaped like a two toned pill capsule. An Ibuprofhen, a pill with chicken features (beak, comb, wings etc) and co-coder moles - two moles typing away at identical laptops

Animalgesics.

A magazine rack in a supermarket, with a magazine in the middle titled 'ChatGPT for Seniors'

Right, we're done, we're finished, time to wrap it all up. I saw this sitting in prime position in my local Tesco supermarket and nearly screamed. There is truly no hope left for any of us.

Artemis Potter sits in front of a small Christmas tree decorated with purple, dark blue and silver decorations. Artemis is wearing matching makeup to complement the tree colours. Her clothing is black, with a rollneck jumper on her upper body and patterned linen trousers. She is holding a purple cane with a rainbow pattern ball handle on top.

Somewhat belatedly, I want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and festive season. Thank you to all of the people who follow, interact or just randomly stumble across my posts, my world is enriched and expanded by the shared human experiences that I have here.

Another repost to act as a reminder to use this information for something in the future

As someone who recently found I am intersex it turns out what letter was written on my birth certificate would give you at the very least a pretty incomplete understanding of my anatomy. I think we can expect better from our health service than these dangerous and inaccurate generalisations.
