the frustrating thing about psychiatric care as it currently functions is that it discourages anyone who does genuinely need psychiatric help from seeking it

youse are so full of hate & ableism. high support needs autistic people are reliant on disability for care, and that one of the fairly common presentations of anxiety disorders is extreme agoraphobia. baiting al l the worst Yer Da types at the cost of people’s lives & dignity. Sickening.

guess what I spent my whole weekend doing for my extended family!

Oooh, I'm back with some lukewarm takes!! #crochet #knitting #hottakes youtu.be/re1j_MT_tBA

currently having to explain information pertaining to whether or not my great aunt has metastatic breast cancer to the whole of my family

I hope you enjoy 60+ min video essays on niche narrative art books! Here is my latest on 'Sunset At Zero Point' the new book from Simon Stahlenhag, the mind behind 'The Electric State' & 'Tales From The Loop'.

It's that time of the month again: the crafting roundup! #crochet #knitting #handmade #lgbtq youtu.be/aG6XB154Shw

On my Starmer arc because I'm breaking a pledge and doing a quick politics video, but I promise it's for a good reason. Which is that no, the Greens didn't win that by-election because of Sectarianism, what are you on about? youtu.be/EmMOhb2cbEI

Starmer's like the chosen one of finding every rake imaginable.

“woodchuck could chuck would” ass response.90% of miseries around the world Britain is implicated in or responsible for are the result of the actions of privately educated wronguns demented by the spectre of empire & self-importance, and not one of them can compose a meaningful sentence. cool.

That's the kind of world class comedy you can only see at the Riyadh Comedy Festival folks!

if a bus company charges me a fiver for a ONE WAY trip and the entire bus ride is equivalent to being in a shaking apart dodgems ride, I should be allowed to demand my dues in combat from the CEO.

Keir Starmer cannot help but be the Richard Hammond of war crimes

Yeah, can well believe it. There's no US war crime we didn't like the look of. Sickening.

It is clear now that the Omani foreign minister's sudden media blitz last night was an attempt to shame the United States by putting into the public record how readily Iran was prepared to reach a deal.

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social, I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all. Thanks, Zack Polanski

Lmao

Zack Polanski is a better man than I am because I would have just @-ed Lucy Powell with the Zohran Mamdani Holding L meme

underappreciated but very funny gorton and denton sideplot: the conservatives nominating literal sex matters (uk terf group) trustee charlotte cadden, only for her to get the worst result for the conservatives in by-election history and lose her deposit

@zackpolanski.bsky.social 💚🙌

[womp womp trumpet noises]

as a person of colour & someone not born here, there have been very few days in the past 5 years where I’ve felt a genuine sense of hopefulness. Today is a wonderful exception to the norm. It’s so lovely to see compassion win; here’s to more wins for genuine progressivism, kindness & hope 💚

Lovely stuff. Everyone who deserved to get fucked got fucked. Matt, Nigel, Kieth, Morgan: your boys took a hell of a beating.

A summary for everyone just waking up.

Matt Goodwin, eat shit 🤪

SIRI PLAY GOOD DAY BY ICE CUBE. ON REPEAT. MAX VOLUME. HOLY SHIT, LADS. SMOKING TF OUT THAT “LABOUR BY ELECTION LOSS” PACK!!!

Matt Goodwin says Reform lost to the Greens due to a coalition of “Islamists and woke progressives” YES THAT’S THE FUTURE YOU DESPICABLE PRICK! 🎉

Today we can celebrate a Green win. A hopeful victory for inclusive, kinder politics. May this be the start of much good. But - rather brilliantly - we can also celebrate a Labour loss. Absolute repudiation of their cynical cruelty and the harms wrought. May this be the beginning of their end.

There’s a special kind of knot in your throat that comes with being a migrant in Britain today, the kind that always stays in the back of your mind. I’m forever indebted to the Greens for making it go away in a sigh of relief at least for one night. Onwards to the next! 💚

unstoppable force (we live on Dismal Island where nothing good is ever allowed to happen) vs. immovable object (maybe, just maybe, One Good Thing can happen on this accursed isle)

My relationship counselling rates start at £40/hr (/j)

Telegraph is a dirty Nazi rag latest:

Once again: trans rights was & is the pillar holding up the whole of the rest of liberal democracy & the battle to defend trans rights was & is nothing less than battle whose outcome determines the difference between a free, open & tolerant society & a fascist society

Remember to vote Green today. It’s of critical importance not only that Reform are beaten, but that Labour is utterly humiliated in the process.

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!

I cannot listen to armies of the lord by the mountain goats without thinking abt my dearly beloved, devoutly Christian aunt who died 10 yrs ago and from whom I will forever be separated from by the chasm of time and belief. incredible song mr. darnielle pls never do it again

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

being a disabled person of colour sure is an Experience, and that Experience is primarily composed of the fact that white people will stay reminding you that before all else, they are white.

It's really striking, how zero fucks about balance are given by the British media when comes to possibly letting a single trans person discuss how shit our lives are now

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

when i read this i got stunlocked by a dozen contrary examples all jumping to mind at once. the UK! ha!

discovered the hard way that when I try to correct for my speech impediment when tired the combination of intl school accent and over-enunciation takes the way I sound from weird (intl. school accent mixed with MLE, Tswana draw on vowel sounds) to Weird (British colonial administrator levels of RP)

> finally gets competent spine physiotherapist > finally gets referral for specific rheumatological testing and to see a rheumatologist > have to pay out of pocket but at least this means I’ll be able to access intervention > potentially going to get made redundant in August cool. love this.

Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you: Horace. …whilst I dearly love my maternal great grandfather, I’m thankful every day that my dad changed my mum’s mind. I’m very glad I’m Marlowe, even if it took three goes (almost-name, birth name & chosen name) to get to it!

Capitalist progress!
