Gay, lesbian and intersex whales: our queer sea has much to teach us
The first documented sex between two male humpback whales is just the latest challenge to our presumptions about sexualityWhales are extraordinarily sensuous creatures. Those blubbery bodies are highly sensitive, and sensitised. At social meetings, pods of sperm, humpback and right whales will roll around one another ’s bodies for hours at a time. I’ve seen a group of right whales engaged in foreplay and penetration lasting an entire morning.I have also watched a male-female couple so blissfully conjoined that they appeared unbothered by our little fishing boat as they passed underneath it. And in what may sound like a...

A significant pay rise is essential for local government and school staff, say unions
The three local government unions, representing 1.4m council and school employees in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, have called for a significant wage rise as they submitted their annual pay claim today (Thursday).
UNISON, GMB and Unite say a decent pay award is essential as staff continue to struggle with the cost-of-living crisis, while the value of their wages has plummeted for more than a decade.
Unless councils and schools can pay competitive rates, employees will find better-paid, less-stressful work elsewhere and new recruits will be thin on the ground, the unions say.
Their joint pay claim, which would apply...

French scientists alarmed by ‘disastrous’ cut to research budget
Scientists in France are reeling after the government announced it will cut €904 million from this year’s budget for research and higher education.
The cut, announced last week, is part of a broader €10 billion savings package that the government says is necessary to limit the nation’s public deficit in the face of dwindling economic growth since the budget law was adopted in December 2023. But scientists say the research sector is bearing a disproportionate share of the pain.
The move comes hot on the heels of recent social crises in France, including farmers protesting
rising costs and regulatory...
