Having The Rapture on a Tuesday is not great for the hospitality industry tbh

Ask members of any minority group whether they believe in the moral character of the British public.

Going to the gym to think about some of my recent choices

Centrists stand up to extremism by doing something other than scoffing and sneering, challenge.

But the far-right are an extreme minority, aren't they?

Just grateful the moustache hasn't brought me out in a rash tbh

Went to an all day drag show in a basement in Margate yesterday. Feel fresh as a daisy now.

YP has already entered the "fighting for the soul of the Labour Party" era which should last about 60 years with new factions emerging monthly

I'm gen x so I'm just going to say it was nice when people actually met up

my fav part of Godwin's Law was the bit a few years ago when Godwin went online to tell people that they should ignore his law

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Psychotherapist Gwyn Daniel on the psychological war being waged on Palestinians in Gaza.

Anyway, my local Green whatsapp is pinging a few times a day with a new member being added and I'm here for it

Why are you a Reform staffer then?

Despite appearances in a relatively good mood after a very scratchy week. Still too hot though.

Put my shorts back on

I mean, it's not like any of the issues in this country or abroad are urgent or anything, and it's not like we've got local elections in six months

Not even slightly surprised that Corbyn is harder on Sultana than he is on rabid transphobes he pals up with

Your Party was always riddled with Labour Brain.

Hope all the awful people who abused people for having reservations about your party are having a nice day x

Look who came with

In an ENT clinic where the acoustics are shocking

There are some who will continue to lecture you about your obligation to support Labour, citing our electoral system or a poll in some marginal seat or another. They will posture as if sagely pontificating on the way of the world, when what they are actually doing is bartering for their own souls.

Went to bed feeling sickened and scared by the fash openly declaring war on LGBT+ people and woke up to feel sickened and scared by the absolute depravity of people running this country and the media who keep telling us to calm down.

Westminster and the lobby telling on themselves, again. I spent a lot of my adult life absorbing this sort of stuff in parliament and no we don't want to be "careful" about calling it what it is. Let them all be rooted out until there's no one left.

Supporting Labour is just not a defensible position now, and that goes for the "oh but I quite like [backbencher]" too.

No words.

I know it's not exactly news by this stage, but I can't help find something morbidly fascinating about LGBT+ Labour's craven uselessness in the face of this wildly transphobic government. This is the first thing they've posted in 2 months. Bailey supported Bridget Phillipson for deputy leader btw.

It's too late for my introverted queer ass but fellow lgbtq+ folks. I urge you to find your community right now. And keep a watchful eye on our "allies."

I mean you say this but here’s what the Home Secretary is parping out *on Twitter* today, so

Duffield cited the two-child cap in her resignation letter as the reason she couldn't stay in Labour. Did she turn up for this vote? Did she fuck.

Do I know anyone on here who's involved with Folkestone Pride?

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

She was in a Pro-Life APPG. This is who the far-right are.

They've been told that racism is wrong but they've also been told that the views they hold are right. So if the views they hold are right then they can't be racist because that is wrong

Every woman who has ever had a job knows how it feels when you find out that a male colleague has been talking about what it would be like to have sex with you, or imagining the degrading things they would do to you. Depending on your perceived attractiveness this is either presented to you as

If you see this quote the energy you bring to bluesky

I suspect these people would not be included in the number crunching of the Extreme Minority either

Good of the telegraph to remind us that as well as racist coked up men with prior convictions for dv, the racist march led by a racist that descended into racist violence also included some racists who shop at oliver bonas & think running the church fete tombola makes them nice people

Govt minister Alex Davies-Jones, whose responsibilities include violence against women & girls, is asked 4 times why the fact that Mandelson stayed at Epsteins house after he'd been convicted wasn't enough to stop him being appointed. She dodges the question every time

Binjuice contesting the Streeting stuff

Creating parity of legal representation will be really important for victims I just wish I didn't feel cynical about trying to legislate the establishment into telling the truth. Because, well, the establishment.

The bit at the end of Silver Springs when she's belting "the sound of my voice will haunt you" 💀 (Fleetwood Mac discourse again)

It's like she never died.

Months of waiting but my review copy of The War on Science has arrived. I read Krauss’ introduction. What the fuck happened to this man? He comes off as incapable of basic research, argument, basic scholarship. He sounds stupid. I look into strange claims he makes and they’re demonstrably false

I hesitate to put this kind of thing in front of more eyeballs - it was taken down quickly, thanks christ - but there's a terrible ambient darkness and cruelty bubbling up through everyday life at present and you can feel it pretty much everywhere www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/2541290...

The two issues are: hating queer people and hating women (though she forgot Islamophobia so it's actually three).

He's been a rabid supporter of the Heritage Foundation & anti abortionist, anti LGBTQ+ for a long time. Always been a right wing extremist in his support for the UK version of Project 2025.
