Reports of Israeli embassy official discussing how to discredit government minister is extremely disturbing - Emily Thornberry

labourpress

Emily Thornberry MP, Labour’s Shadow Foreign Secretary, commenting on reports that an Israeli embassy official has been secretly filmed saying he wanted to “take down” Foreign Office Minister Sir Alan Duncan, said:

“The exposure of an Israeli embassy official discussing how to bring down or discredit a government minister and other MPs because of their views on the Middle East is extremely disturbing. 

“Improper interference in our democratic politics by other states is unacceptable whichever country is involved. 

“It is simply not good enough for the Foreign Office to say the matter is closed. This is a national security issue. 

“The embassy official involved should be withdrawn, and the Government should launch an immediate inquiry into the extent of this improper interference and demand from the Israeli government that it be brought to an end.”

I think something a lot of cis perisex Discworld fans don’t understand is that Cheery is canonically, textually a trans woman by definition. A trans person is, quite simply, someone who identifies as a different gender to the one they were assigned at birth. Cheery was basically assigned Dwarf, but she identifies as a woman. Her physical anatomy is irrelevant. Maybe it’s in line with a human idea of a cis woman, maybe it’s not. The point is, she wasn’t assigned female at birth. She identifies as female. Therefore, she is a trans woman.

(Edit: Yes, cis people are fine to reblog this)

A bird explaining to a hedgehog crossing so it doesn’t die.

!!! ok but that’s legitimately what it’s doing!! That’s a corvid right there (looks like a hooded crow, to be precise), which means it’s intelligent enough to recognize, a) cars are dangerous and streets should be treated with a certain degree of caution, b) this car’s slowing down for them–cars do that sometimes–which means they’re not in imminent danger, so it doesn’t have to fly away just yet, c) that hedgehog’s still gonna get killed if it doesn’t MOVE, FAST (cars can change speed very quickly and the hedgehog’s still in the way), and almost certainly also d) if the bird does nothing it gets a free lunch.

Y’all, Y’ALL. This bird is consciously deciding to put itself in danger in order to save the life of a very stupid creature. A creature which, if the bird did nothing, could be free food. 

i can’t - look if you follow me you know I have a thing for corvids, but this is - like!!! People are always saying “ah yes they have sub-human intelligence and don’t consider anything that isn’t immediately necessary for their own survival/pleasure,” but! Whether or not it can do philosophy, this crow is clearly demonstrating compassion. Even if it’s just the kind of compassion a toddler shows to a snail, a social creature that instinctively recognizes the potential for emotion in other beings, that’s still huge and cool and important and corvids!!! are! neat!!!
