When Maggie Thatcher died Evan Rachel Wood told me off on Twitter because I was celebrating it very vocally.

I'm watching Event Horizon (1997) and in the prologue it says that in 2015 the first colony has been established on the moon LOL.

"Complicated" and "controversial" 🤡 SHE WAS A RAMPANT RACIST, GUARDIAN. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/de...

She is also on the front page of the Mirror, Mail, Guardian, Express, Star, Belfast Telegraph, Irish Independent, The Herald, Independent, The Journal, The Scotsman, The i, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post without mention of her racism.

The Times today has Bardot on its front page, a 2-page obit, a 3/4 page article on France mourning her, & a feature on her style in Times 2 along with her five best movies. Two small paragraphs about her racism.

Insane to see all the otherwise cool media outlets being like, "SHE WAS AN ICON A SEX SYMBOL AND ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVIST BLAH BLAH BLAH", and then at the end, "P.S. Later in life she was also a bit racist" Your headlines should be, "Five Time Convicted Racist and former actress has died."

I'm too tired and sad to write it but if you look into what people are actually using AI stuff for one of the things you find is all of these AI porn services that are marketed as like make an AI sex slave with an AI Asian woman as the ad and there's so much gender Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Thank god someone is saying it. I was going bonkers not seeing mentions of her abject bigotry that was so bad she has MULTIPLE CONVICTIONS for inciting hatred.

Bardot's death is a good reminder to everyone to google celebs before posting your praise.

Oh btw she was also an outspoken homophobe, so basically an allround terrible person.

I am going to speak ill of the dead and I don't care if it's too soon. She was a rampant racist and her animal rights activism did great harm to indigenous people. I don't care if she also looked great in the 60's.

So I guess we can add Task to the limited list of movies/TV shows that have a realistic nuanced non romantisized portrayal of #adoption 🥚

Mother/teen activities.

Dear Ameicans, Thank you for your concern. However, please direct your support to the people of Greenland, rather than their colonizer.

Best way to get South Korea to do anything is shame them in the media and point out a truth that makes them lose face and keep pushing this truth not only internationally, but to the Korean people domestically as well. (Never works in the US, but always works in Korea).

Same with China. China has wanted to end it since the program began, pretty much, especially after child trafficking, but the US put pressure on China every. single. time. and China was forced to reopen. Russia, too, btw, (OMG, what about the beautiful white babies.)

3. Is usually due to US pressure as the biggest importer. I've been watching them announce and pull back for decades, and it's always the US threatening to pull out protection, etc that makes SK do unspeakably horrible things to its own people.

Make no mistake, I am overjoyed about this, but I am also holding back. Why?: 1. Korea will still be doing domestic adoption, which is also a supply and demand driven market. 2. They are making these changes because they have been exposed of doing 70 years of child trafficking. > #adoption 🥚

the Korean #adoptee diaspora has displayed activist and intellectual leadership on an absolutely epic scale. It’s a story like no other.

anyone who knows Korea’s deeply entrenched 70 years history as a sending country for #adoption understands that this is titanic. m.koreaherald.com/article/1064...

This doesn't mean they will domestic #adoption though.

Just had half a lemon meringue pie for breakfast. T'was left over from last nights christmas dinner and taking up too much room in my fridge. I am very solution oriented that way.

Intercountry #adoption follows, to a striking degree, a “boom-bust” cycle, beginning with major Western investment in the infrastructure to facilitate adoptions (e.g. orphanages), followed by a feeding frenzy that floods the system with money and (therefore) corruption and horrible abuses, +

Adoptionspolitisk Forum er en lille forening med meget få resourcer, og derfor gør det mig ret stolt at vi alligevel er lykkedes med at være med til at skabe politisk og samfundsmæssig forandring på adoptionsområdet. Jeg skrev en lille året der gik tekst, som også er postet på vores sociale medier.

I'm sorry for sounding like a broken record. Truly. It's just that it is going to take two generations, maybe more, to undo much of the utterly avoidable damage that the US administration is doing right now, and for hundreds of thousands of people killed by USAID cuts it is already far too late.

In Denmark we celebrate Christmas on the eve of the 24th Dec. I haven't cooked a traditional Danish Christmas dinner in years and won't be doing it tomorrow either.

Can't get enough of a cooking show devoid of white people where they talk about Western cousine as if it is a monolith.

Obsessed with Culinary Class Wars.

RIP Chris Rea. One of his biggest accomplishments was to write a christmas song that made us believe being stuck in christmas traffic was actually nice.

Jeg ved godt det ikke fremmer julehyggen, men jeg synes du skal overveje at lytte til podcasten "Ung og Afvist" om en gruppe unge mennesker, som lever på vores udrejsecentre. Og så synes jeg du skal huske det til næste år, når der er valg. www.responsmedie.dk/ung-og-afvist/

Very interesting to see white Australians, at the memorial for the Bondi Beach attack last week, saying stuff like, "This country was built on acceptance and diversity..." I mean... are you sure?

Imagine being bright pink, living on stolen land, and just being like, we are so diverse and include everyone. 🤡

I pretty much stopped drinking alcohol a few years ago. I'll have maybe two glasses of wine, a year. I could really drink a glass of deep red sweet port, right now.

South Korea, the OGs of the modern transnational adoption industrial complex, aided by some very wellmeaning fundemental American christians. 🥚

I have great sympathy for people who want kids and can’t have them, but babies are not puppies or kittens. They are not objects.

a system that was truly designed to be accountable to the needs of children would not be accountable to the wishes of adults. 🥚

Literally had a conversation with a progressive gay man, explaining all the attocities of the adoption and fertility industries, and he nodded and understood and then said: Well, I don't know how I feel about it because I might want children someday.

It is very telling that liberals get their knickers in a twist when told that #adoption is actually bad. Never trust anyone who believes they save the world by paying thousands of dollars for a child regardless of where they stand politically.

I fully blame the European liberals and progressives of the 60's, 70's and 80's 's for helping to create and sustain the modern day child trafficking industry we see today. >

I work in academia (not as an academic) and for the past three days I have been supporting 300 academics on how to do their end of year timesheets correctly. I am DRAINED!

liberals and the left, on the whole, don’t give a shit about ending #adoption. spend any time talking about these issues and you see this clearly. it’s not a left issue and it’s not a feminist issue. it should be both, but it’s not. 🥚

But I'll watch anything with Glenn Close.

Oh, there's adoption storyline in the new Knives Out 🫤

Also, I miss late 80's/early 90's "strong female characters with shitty husbands and a lot of lesbian undertones" movies like Thelma and Louise, Steel Magnolias and A League of Their Own.

Don't you just love when you rewatch an old movie and you realise the plot is very different to what you thought when you watched it at 16? So 16 year old me definitely didn't spot how very lesbian Fried Green Tomatos is.
