While Spotify is in the national conversation this week, we’re hoping you will continue to boycott the platform and urge others to do the same until Spotify stops running recruitment ads for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti...

rewatching it chapter one and it's still frustrating how perfect the casting is for the kids and how perfect those actors are and how much they butchered the plot. LET MIKE BE THE TOWN HISTORIAN, NOT BEN. among other things.

a girl in a shop once told me she loved my hair because it was giving kate bush and i've thought about that often since

Having a lot of uncomfortable feelings about being in this position, but I made this after encouragement from friends and would really appreciate it if you could give it a look/share ❤️ (TL;DR I've been struggling for a while and am trying to make it through the next few months) gofund.me/b535d80ca

At this point Labour really need to change their name, because they long ago abrogated their responsibility to serve the working class. This is just a parody at this point.

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the transgender lives lost to violence. The Green Party stands shoulder to shoulder with transgender people in the face of increasing transphobic rhetoric in our society and politics.

i will recommend mads any day of the week!!!!!!!!! hire them!!!!!!!!

I love this image.

everything seems bad right now but this week i went to a fantasy nerd night where merlin and arthur sang 'what is this feeling' from wicked together and someone dressed as the cabbage merchant from avatar did a striptease with strategically placed cabbage leaves so things are also good actually

Eurovision was once a highlight of my year, but the organization has made clear it will happily politicize the event to support and normalize Israel's genocide. Deep respect to Ireland and Slovenia for taking the lead and refusing to be part of that. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Adding that we're also interested in hearing from REMOTE people who don't live in SE/London (but you have to live in the UK). Hoping we can make it as accessible as possible ♥️ Shares on the below appreciated/welcome and open to any and all questions!

New Banksy is fucking nail on the head 🔨 👏 Free Palestine 🇵🇸

ok

REMEMBER: If you hear a song and the song has a xylophone in it, that song is about a SKELETON.

Sally Rooney putting her money where her mouth is (figuratively of course). Bravo. www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

This is why all the talk of whether it's accurate (it isn't), whether it's plagiarism (it is) etc are irrelevant. We very literally cannot afford to use LLM 'AI's if we want a liveable future. The ease with which techbros have bribed our gov into ignoring every scrap of evidence is terrifying

⚡️Do NOT let Musk get his hands on British utilities. He’s applied for a license to supply energy here. ✍️ Tell Ofgem what you think about that: www.bestforbritain.org/petition-elo...

🚨JOB VACANCY 🚨 The folks at Jagex are looking for a Lead Community Manager to work on RuneScape. Says hybrid working is available (with frequent trips to the Cambridge office). Not affiliated. Sharing for peers. 👉 Learn more: www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...

Open letter on the Polari Prize longlist and the inclusion of John Boyne, who openly expresses his transphobic and misogynistic views. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Fuck this, and fuck this government.

You can't call yourself "a prize for LGBTQ+ literature" and longlist a self-proclaimed terf. Anyone can give any prize to anyone they like, of course. But don't pretend you're a prize for my community when you're platforming someone who's actively fighting against it.

🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London. We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

just let gargamel have the smurfs. who cares

These kids need support and protection; their visibility comes at great personal risk but such visibility is absolutely crucial in the struggle for a free Palestine, and I'm sure they know this

Speaking of which, this is apparently the organisation the young people in the video are affiliated with. Part of what the org provides is legal fees for those sent to prison for refusing to serve.Worth keeping in mind for organisations playing a part to support Palestinian freedom: www.refuser.org

The UK games industry has had a huge class problem since its inception. Private school kids with generational wealth were first through the door and overwhelmingly hired people from similar backgrounds. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Absolutely ridiculous response to a patently true statement. Israel IS committing genocide in Gaza and no attempt to suppress and criminalize those speaking out against it will change the fact that millions of people every day know this and will work to stop it

forever chasing the dopamine high of finding out one of my netgalley requests has been approved

We should probably be clear eyed about the fact that Microsoft purchased a huge roster of some of the world's best game development studios only to turn around and use them all as kindling for its ill-begotten AI boondoggle

They're building concentration camps with money they stole from medicare.

The best time to boycott Microsoft was when BDS called for it, the next best time is now

I don’t care if it’s corporate marketing, I like that the cunty murderbot said trans fucking rights

Infinite love and support to the people of Iran and Palestine and anywhere else on earth unfortunate enough to be caught in the stupid, bloodthirsty gaze of America and Israel

The US just went to war to protect a genocide.

This has been a truth in the UK forever, too. Terf Island isn't real. People overwhelmingly do not care. But the 12 people who decide what the media and political landscape looks like are so disconnected from lived reality and such a fragile grasp on power that they need to hate us SO badly.

My god, 195!!! I’m always like “remember when there were like 9 queer YA books in one entire year” but this incredible roundup makes me say it again: REMEMBER WHEN? This incredible growth in queer YA is wonderful and also the reason behind so many book bans. We have to fight to maintain this.

so many people right now fighting simply for the right to exist. palestinian people deserve to exist and thrive. trans people deserve it. immigrants deserve it. this should not be up for debate.

if Thunberg is brave enough to repeatedly put herself directly in harm’s way, then journalists can be brave enough to say that a civilian vessel was illegally seized in international waters, and its crew abducted

every time a new set photo comes out from emerald fennell's wuthering heights i lose my mind a little bit more. i need to go home and roll around on the moors. this "adaptation" has lost the plot. i thought persusasion (2022) was bad and it was but this. what is this.

can't believe the boys have broken up during pride month

im crying

@failnaut.bsky.social remember when you lived at my house and we played james bond together and it was the funniest thing in the world?

The self-seriousness of charging Kneecap with terrorism while letting war crimes slide is pretty wild to say the least

shadow of the leviathan series is so banging, robert jackson bennett you've done it again, i was worried a drop of corruption wouldn't hold up to the first but it sure did. what a series! what writing! love this for me.

On a day of hard news for games media, we're sending out love and appreciation for the remarkable creative voices affected by departures at Polygon and Giant Bomb.

They don’t know that there’s wild Neopets drama unfolding rn

i think when a new book comes out that i want to read and i have that book i shouldn't have to work that day and i should just be allowed to take the day off as long as i'm reading the book which i would be because i want to read it

one really dumb annoyance is when someone from book club puts in the gc 'what did you think of this month's book' like that conversation is why we're MEETING in a week! why would i want to tell you that now! what will i talk about then??
