I fear to what extent I am just ‘That Bish Who Won’t Shut Up About Or Get Over A Bad Thing That Happened To Her Ages Ago (And Maybe That Thing Wasn’t Even Real)’ and how much that label is my own fault, especially because of that latter part, the not being believed, and feeling compelled to prove

The body do be keeping the score huh. One exactly pointed prod in the very calm safe present and my body is back in the thick of it. The way my stomach churns and aches is unique to this, a signature response, and beyond reason. Can’t eat, can’t stop the spiral. All from a loaded nothing. Pure 2019.

Rachel had to take 2 non-business days to cry and gutwrench about stuff she thought was way more over than this, but believes the situation has been remedied with the gold-star help of a homie, and normal service should resume shortly. Rest assured Rachel is very aware of how hot it is and HATES IT

Big me-in-year-10 realness

Happy Father’s Day to the dumpster, who is arguably my dad

Happy fuck that guy day to my fellow celebrants 🎉

And yet amazingly no riots and calls for all white men to apologise for the actions of the attacker. Islamophobia is rising across the UK, stoked by political rhetoric and far right ideology. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Mmmm the slo-mo stomach-falling-out of finding out someone still follows the fkin ex via a posted screenshot in which the appearance of him in their follows is utterly incidental

I send some of my benefits to a family in Gaza and know in my self-hating bones that this tiny insignificant gesture alone means I am a better person causing more good than the richest man alive, who is apparently winning and contributing while I am losing and a drain on society

Sorry to be a woke opportunist or whatever but I'm afraid I do think it is completely reprehensible that a man can be awaiting trial for rape and captaining his country at a World Cup at the same time

Every gig has a support act. Most of the time, it’s the band on before the band you came to see. But there’s another support act too.

Duolingo I am so over all these partying-centric sections, when do I learn how to talk to the Danish about music with offputting enthusiasm

Yes yes my utter terror re: people ‘coming back at me’ DOES also have one of its strongest roots in the Manics fandom/a certain message board; the flipside of my fierce defence of growing up online is that it did also fucking destroy me lole. Adults twice my age bullied me worse than kids at school

Men Stop Asking To DM 17-Year-Old Female History Students So You Can Change Their Minds In The Comments Of A Video Wherein They Demonstrate Clear And Intelligent Insight Being Interviewed About Reform *inhales*… Challenge

the "they're raping our women" thing is about control of women & girls, not concern for them btw musk is part of an international movement led almost exclusively by rapists & pedophiles. the point is those victims are *theirs* in a collective, racial/national sense

The Sun front page: TEXAS KANE SCORE MASSACRE

A RANDOM NEW BLOCKING, my favourite fixation!!! Sue with no profile pic what did I do pls. Sue you’re another block who seems to share my politics which intrigues me so. Sue are you a Manixfan perchance. Sue I think Manixfan forum bullying PTSD is why I’m like this. Sue I just want to talk

I really don’t like the hold this alternate version of my life if I’d grown up under this Labour government has on me. That it’s not going to be alternate for someone. And my version of it was a fucking ordeal as it was. I’m one of many being confronted with the fact that the Tories hated me less.

Anecdotal info from a 36-year-old. I have 119 followers on my (private) Instagram, the place with the most of the homies. Knocking that down to 100 to allow for double accounts, family members, good dogs etc. Of 100, 10 I first met ‘in real life’ - and half+ of those at internet-organised events.

Who’s going to be bold enough to end all this and just do away with benefits entirely, huh? C’mon, the tension’s killing me

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got - scam machine - psychosis inducing machine - weapons of mass destruction - button you push that makes the planet hotter - markets that intentionally starve people - clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time - medicine you can’t afford

A lot of the “kids online safety” proponents actually are anti-LGBTQ extremists and fundamentalists who want kids to have less freedom and don’t care if that actually makes them tremendously less safe too

If the Suffragettes were active today, there is not a shadow of a doubt that Keir Starmer's government would have banned them as a terrorist group, and insisted there are plenty of other ways in which women can register their dissent. Why don't they write letters to their MPs?

HELLO MPS I HEARD THE COOLEST SOCIAL MEDIA SITE FOR US TEENS TO HANG OUT IS T h e C o l o s s a l P i l l a r o f W a s p E g g s LETS GO DO NOT BRING WEAPONS

I honestly bore myself constantly bleating into the void about the Labour Party, but the fact is that under this shambling, vindictive corpse of a government, people's basic rights are being rolled back in more extreme ways than any of the Conservative regimes we had since 2010. it's truly dystopian

all keir starmer has done since coming to power is ban things, persecute minorities, and dismantle civil liberties.

prime minister wes streeting shortly after i'm street murdered whilst drinking an energy drink: we must ban energy drinks

Jo Cox wasn't killed by differences of opinion and Brianna Ghey wasn't killed by finding friends online. Propagandised hatred and radicalisation are really dangerous actually.

Duolingo making sure I’m multilingually prepared to fight the fash I guess

So are we calling Olivia Rodrigo OlRod and if not why not

The average terror suspect arrested in England and Wales is now a white woman in her 50s as a result of the Palestine Action ban Almost 2,800 arrests were made for supporting the group in 6 months - surpassing the number of terror suspects detained in the previous decade inews.co.uk/news/politic...

I didn’t even notice we weren’t on the list, now that’s stealth

Since 2010, between ESA/UC and PIP I'm averaging an assessment every 14-18 months. As soon as I catch my breath from one, I'm preparing for the next. It feels like erosion, a constant trickle tearing its way through you

I just misread ‘originally Catholic’ as ‘chronically Catholic’ and, well, did I misread

It is also absolutely typical that Elon Musk can do whatever he likes and the way to get it around it is to suppress young people's access to information and relationships.

*flourishes pen* dear… Germany… football men. Honestly… at this point… I think… you’re just being mean. And should know… the internet… is not… on your side. With… all due respect… Rachel xx

Yeah, this crystallises my unease with the 16-17 curfew: either you think sixteen year olds are sovereign adults, and therefore should vote, OR you put them on a different information regime to everyone else, but....not both.

Hearing reports Keir Starmer has banned Kerrang AND Scuzz

This is nuts. Yes we need better protections online, but this is a massive overreach by Starmer. For many young people, especially marginalised ones such as trans and neurodivergent, online spaces can be a safe place for them to develop a genuine support community www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

More and more, I think a super important things adults can teach children is to be okay with having been wrong, admitting to having been wrong, and course-correcting on the basis of new evidence. So much of the harmful behaviors we encounter are about people who are Not Okay with being wrong.

Ahaha we’re headed for full house on our bingo card lads

*listening to Muna while reading Philip K Dick* you’re gonna say that I’m in a high castle, I think that my castle is regular-sized

"30 women have been murdered in Northern Ireland in the last six years - not one road was closed, not one protest. What was the connection? They were murdered by white locals."

Germany's Berlin Zoo has a baby pygmy hippo and her name is Brötchen which means bread roll! www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/ar...

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.
