Can be few clearer demonstrations of how our society treats sexual violence not as a real thing that actually happens to real people but as a mythologised horror with which to bash the Other.

Is there any more pitiful, self aggrandising description someone can make of themselves than 'entrepreneur'? What even is that, it's not a real thing, it shouldn't exist. It's like telling people you've decided to become a vampire but instead of getting cool powers you're just a massive prick.

just seen someone say the labour immigration proposals are "disgraceful, but it's way better than anything the Tories would do" and i think some people need to have a deeply personal conversation with a thing called reality. labour has just done it, not the tories. so what now, genius?

I think if you're a parent and you're raising Sebastian Payne you should be stopped at all costs to be quite honest.

Having to hold down my last job doing what was 1.5 roles was a huge factor in me taking 2 years to recover from a breakdown (that I only felt able to have 3 days off for) so fuck Streeting (as always) but on the plus side its basically impossible to get a therapist unless you pay privately anyway.

Posting this about the year your own party came to power and instantly embarked upon the a violent and targeted persecution of the people you are pretending to care about is not only utterly disgusting but also incredibly offensive in thinking that anyone might be fobbed off by it.

Love how they've invented a type of psychotherapist for the rich that treats having a conscience as something to be cured.

the gulf between the swift brutality with which places like harvard treated students protesting genocide and the endless, endless latitude those same institutions have given people like larry summers tells you everything you need to know

Honestly if you're doing conceptual stuff then this happening to your work at some point is just a right of passage.

Hell yeah, love to see it 🥰🙏 www.instagram.com/p/DRPprP8DV3...

squirrel: *points gun* me: what do you want me to do? squirrel: *gestures at sign* me: alright, i get it *opens book drop* squirrel: *makes hurry-up motion* me: NOT A SQUIRREL! squirrel: *disappears into book drop* me: *whispers* forgive me, keith

You’d never see this level of propaganda from *my* country’s state broadcaster 😏

Labour MPs are the most disingenuous people alive; they're still carrying out austerity until everything we've lost; wages, local amenities, universities and a public sector that aren't on their knees, has been put back. Its been 18 months and they've done nothing but push for further cuts.

never encountered anything that spoke to me like his; not in any medium or format

This is one of the places my lad wants to go to study paleontology and the only one that seems to be available in a city where the price of rent isn't terrifying so would be very grateful on a personnel level if everyone could sign this.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Jesus to his disciples:

Won't lie, getting shitfaced with your equally kink orientated mate and having people glance at your conversation is the funniest shit alive.

I can’t wait for historical meme study to become a thing. Like, once people who engage in the study won’t possibly have been alive long enough to understand them firsthand.

Twitter and chat gpt are down. Bad day for people who suck.

I know its come up before but Gordon Brown's utter capitulation to the press when he quite rightly called that bigot a bigot really did set the standard for everything that has come afterwards.

Love how we really are back to just doing dynasties. Like who even is this fucking guy beyond the prick offspring of a war criminal? Who gives a single solitary shit about what he thinks?

This is the future we were actually promised.

Kier Starmer unveils his new “hotter wetter mouth” in an effort to win back voters

whenever the sun sets at 4:45 pm i open a window, lean out and yell "WRONG" as loud as i can. that usually buys me another hour or two of sunlight

The Tories get a lot of shit for section 28 and deservedly so but right now it's probably worth remembering that Labour didn't do anything about it till Blair's second term when it became clear it would be a popular move.

Increasingly of the notion that we really have just given in as a society; does this look like the work of a healthy culture, or does it look like something empires only produce when they're very dying?

Burger King is named after its #1 selling item, the Gerkin.

mmmm, forbidden Haribo

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

Is it good that we're 18 months into a Labour government and I'm now at the point that if someone gave me a big button that magically installed David Cameron, a man I fucking loath, back into power I'd press it?

BBC News: "the government believe refugees are deliberately bringing their children to avoid deportation" As opposed to doing what with their children??

Top 5 movie genres are: *The countryside is full of horrors *Big fucking monster treading on people, can't blame it really *Nicholas Cage needs cash fast *Shit but everyone's having a great time / are having a bad time but its Hoskins and Leguizamo hammered. *Dystopian future, people have 70s hair

This isnt even 5% of their MPs. The idea that this party is in any way redeemable is laughable and anyone remaining associated with it is fully complicit in everything they do.

Testing clay from the Roman pottery production site at Highgate Wood, North London and using Munsell colour charts to record the results. Same clay, different temperatures and kiln atmosphere. 🏺#Archaeology #AncientBluesky

I've written exactly one thing this whole hideous year, but I'm proud that it's here amongst such brilliant company. @helleborezine.bsky.social

Hearing reports that Starmer has promised that he will personally be marching into every children's nativity this christmas and confiscating the gold, frankincense and myrrh from baby Jesus whilst explaining that actually King Herod had a strong mandate for his actions.

It used to be so much easier on the internet. You’d have a video of a dramatic chipmunk and everyone would agree it was perfect but then you could add a little lightsaber to him and everyone would go huzzah now the text is even richer

Impossible to look at that cover and not imagine Delia Smith saying "shove 28 eggs up your shit pipe".

I see we're at the 'supporting a party who are consistently pandering to the far right and enacting deeply bigoted policies doesn't make the supporters of that party far right or bigoted' stage of Labour self soothing.

I'm doing an in person workshop, 'Experimental Ekphrasis: audio guide as poetry', as part of the upcoming exhibition (feat. me and 7 other amazing artists) Another Way of Seeing. Booking essential. Limited places so only book if your'e gonna come: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/experiment...

Probably worth considering that wedding rings are predominantly a western European tradition and whilst other cultures do use them these will vary in where they're worn etc, and I doubt anyone processing this will take that into consideration when deciding whether or not people get to keep them.

I've come to the same conclusion, it's clear the Green party have organised a coordinated and sustained attack on Labour by forcing Labour to enact a bunch of bigoted policies that people hate. Zack Polanski is clearly a bastard man who must be stopped at all costs.

The thing about AI crashing is that yes, it will probably fuck us all in the financial fallout, but that will fuck us considerably less than this nonsense continuing to exist and so getting excited for the shit to start hitting the fan here is fine actually.

"You can be critical of this government but you can't say they're racist or enabling fascism to creep in or say they're no different to reform cos that would make me look like a bad person why I inevitably continue voting for them"
