The Valley Girl’s prayer

Should they leave their kids in the warzone? Does "my children are starving but somewhere else" give you bonus points on your application? What are we saying here?

Might be the last chance I have to repost this from ye olde twitter days on here and have it be relevant so fuck it

We genuinely haven't even BEGUN to start to initiate a proper investigation of all the war crimes UK special forces have been accused of and already they're in "immunity now" mode

Look, we are NOT saying Wes Streeting is plotting on our Discord but if he WAS plotting he wouldn't be because he's loyal to the leadership even though with his dead little eyes and lack of any morals he'd be a great candidate, but he is NOT the mod for #dagger-chat-cool-MPs-only, ok?!

It is lovely that Nebula is AI-free as well as ad-free tbh. It’s like YouTube but good.

Killing people to “balance the books”

Labour doing a DOGE after it was revealed that ending USAID has killed 600,000 people and they now want in on the action

Hi, I'm v new to bsky. I'm a PhD student focusing on harm in UK mental health services, & I would like to hear about your experiences of harm in services between 2010-2025. (Mental health services includes NHS, charities, companies, private therapists & other orgs) 1/7 tinyurl.com/yt2ydvxx

must be a dead ringer for the CERN large hadron collider the way these customers keep asking me to violate the laws of thermodynamics. sir, 100 degrees centigrade is BOILED (and makes the milk shite, besides, but that’s ur choice). that’s hot as it gets. fuckall I can do about the laws of physics.

#HurricaneMelissa has struck #Jamaica, #Cuba, #Haiti and other countries. MSF is preparing to send emergency teams and medical, water and sanitation supplies. Read more from Brice de le Vingne, Head of Emergency Unit: ow.ly/ZY2c50XkCyo

It was the perfect time for this meme

every day I thank God that pap isn’t well known outside of Botswana and RSA because if I had to start paying £10 for a kilo bag of Iwisa because a millennial white man with an exposed brick restaurant made a shit, gentrified version of it, I would Joker-ise on the spot.

Jamaica remains in a state of emergency after being battered by Hurricane Melissa, one of the strongest Atlantic cyclones in history. Mikaela Loach, a climate justice activist, says the hurricane was “caused by the climate crisis,” and says hurricanes should be named after oil executives.

It’s not moonshine its “unaged bourbon” it’s not being a hobo with seasonal employment it’s “van life” that’s not a trailer it’s a “tiny home” it’s not piecework it’s the “gig economy” - culture is the thin wedge to make survival strategies of the poor sound like fun fads

to quote Nat King Cole, ‘tis autumn! Christened my new 35mm half-frame last weekend. Will be a bit of a wait for the photos (film is so fucking expensive to get developed), but here are some digital photos :)

the severe lack of compassion and empathy globally for chronic illness is actually truly horrific. people do not want to look sickness and vulnerability in the face so they resort to neglect and denial and it is a disease in itself. sickness isn’t weakness but that shit sure is.

The Rapid Support Forces have murdered over 2000 Sudanese civilians in El-Fasher, a city that was already besieged and starving, after gaining control of the city on October 26th, 2025.

hip made the “bone-on-bone” noise as it subluxed chat I think I may be cooked

People did warn me when I was younger to pursue high-paying fields, and I always shrugged them off. I thought, “I’m not a materialistic person, I don’t want to live in luxury—I’ll be fine making a modest salary. Money’s not important to me.” Turns out you need a shitload of money just to be broke.

on one hand, headfirst slide into cooperstown on a bad bet comes from the album that nearly destroyed fall out boy. on the other, the sheer venom in Patrick Stump’s voice in the final “does your husband know” refrain adds something that’s absolutely incredible to the song.

Because when you burn down a house and nobody ever rebuilds it, someone is still forced to live in the ashes

I am currently laid up sick on yet more antibiotics, but thank you to everyone who donated, I'll message you all once I'm well enough. We've put a stretch goal on to cover the platform fees (whoops) and recovery costs. You can read Chris' update below the original message. Much love.

New video's live and I may have a hangover so it'd really cheer me up if you checked out my thoughts on alien characters, what bothers me about some of them, my own struggles writing them and a lot of other stuff. youtu.be/GKLJhAOU2EU

they don’t want you to know how they treat prisoners because it will grieve you to know it, which is natural and human, and because of your normal human reaction you will want the system changed. It’s important to them that your natural aversion to how the system works not be engaged.

We are the Trans Liberation Group and we are fighting for a foundation of trans liberation in Your Party, in its current and future iterations.

Today my doctor told me it will be at least another six months until I can get the surgery on the NHS. I am not exaggerating: I will be homeless and probably dead long before then. My situation is completely dire.

please boost this, and if you’re able, contribute to this fundraiser!

The winner of our 'Locked Out' themed challenge was the brilliant @afrocommie.bsky.social ! Come hear our interview with them, and hear their thoughts on art, creativity, 'Your Party,' and Milkshakes! youtu.be/uFRMtHjhlHE

it’s so fun being autistic & having a medical science degree and seeing the biggest economy in the world doing a “pre-Industrialisation understanding of medicine speedrun any%” and by fun I do mean I had a stress headache that, ironically, had me absolutely backing paracetamol and ibuprofen all day

'counter those who claim division offers anything for our future' your government is about to introduce segregation laws. the very definition of division. we're so far past silly little statements on social media i can't even with this anymore.

If anti-migrant politics are the "consequence of austerity" then why are affluent people among its most passionate, leading advocates? They're trying to distract us? So everyone from Musk to Trump to Farage to the average Fleet St demagogue is, in some sense, kidding? Come on. They are not kidding.

Tbh actions speak louder than words Starmer can give you some mealymouthed statement about how tolerant the uk is and racism has no place here etc but for the last year they’ve fostered a hostile environment with their policies and plans to make it the opposite of what he’s saying

Labour under Starmer has positioned itself as a dangerous enemy of the multiracial working class in this country, and the party must be understood and responded to as an enemy in all the spaces it has previously taken for granted.

I’ve looked into this now. I can’t find an example of a far right march or rally attracting much more than 10,000. A far right march on this scale is completely new for the UK.

There are 11 million + people of colour in the UK and no words of condemnation of marching fascists have been offered, instead we’re getting “we hear their concerns” and “I have England flag bunting!”

I am not interested in ‘not everyone who was there was a fascist’ conversations. If you attend a demo called by a fascist, you are taking part in a fascist demo. It should not be difficult to grasp this.

Keir Starmer now doing “diversity and tolerance” lmfao gtfo my face. my maternal grandparents — the most nonchalant people in this earth — fully rang my marj telling her my siblings and I needed to be ready to get out of dodge they were that scared for us.

“at least the big roundabout in town hasn’t been flagged yet.” — local African (me) who should’ve known better than to have faith in the community as one of 120 minority ethnic individuals in the town. Operating on the safe assumption that this means shit is going to kick tf off on Saturday.

For absolutely no reason whatsoever, I’m sharing my favourite clip

digital id cards (which will be an app that doesn't work) are just another way to funnel the money the government is always claiming has run out into the hands of some billionaire tech dipshit who'll use it to do racism, ableism, and queerphobia only the worst cunts alive want them

my grandad is waiting for the results of a head CT ?stroke ?vestibular schwannoma. The town they live in has had and continues to have a load of violence on the part of the flag-shaggers so I’m in the frankly insane position of “how do I care for my grandparents without getting hatecrimed?”
