Is it too much to ask from the Prime Minister of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to grab the largest microphone and television camera in his immediate vicinity and shout "STOP TRYING TO LYNCH ASYLUM SEEKERS YOU RACIST CUNTS!" from the top of his lungs? Yes. Apparently.

Americans think British people are wimps for complaining about the heat. But what you don't realise is that most British houses were actually built in Britain, a cursed island that hates us.

Thing about British Steel being nationalised is there is no argument around nationalising it that doesn't also apply to the universities except "steel is boy coded :) and teaching is girl coded :("

Giving kids books was such a revolutionary idea because it was the same principle as "bread and roses," it's not enough to just make sure kids aren't starving or homeless, we have to make sure they aren't miserable either.

the guardian describes decades of peer reviewed medical science, study, and research as an ‘orthodoxy’. they did the exact same thing with gender affirming care. this is the same playbook. get a right wing quack to cast doubt and then have a bunch of columnists present it as reasonable.

Even Home Office's own analysis shows tougher measures force more people into longer, more dangerous routes and exploitation. Tackling smugglers starts with ensuring people don't have to use them. Meanwhile, Labour's own policies mean more people are forced to use them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today is the tenth anniversary of Jo Cox's murder by a white supremacist on her way to a surgery in Birstall in her constituency whose ethnic diversity she praised in her maiden speech to the Commons. Her murderer shouted "Britain first" as he shot and stabbed her to death.

Rue

Rue Jo Cox, Députée Britannique, 
a street sign in Burgundy reads,
Assassinée pour ses convictions.

No British road is named after her,
I found on returning home, for fear
it could have proved controversial.

I remembered in Shakespeare rue
even for ruth, called ‘herb of grace’ 
because it was used in exorcisms, 

by the angel to clean Adam’s eyes,
and Gulliver back home for his nose 
against the smell of his countrymen.

‘if you don’t learn to use AI, you’ll get left behind!’ 🍆✊ www.patreon.com/posts/155290...
If an AI future is what I'm getting left behind from, then Christ, just leave me behind.
A girl can only pivot so much, hoss, and I hung up my pivotin' boots some time ago. I don't make videos even though that was supposedly the future of writing ten years ago — I mean, I guess I do, but they're little banjo practice videos for my friends, not expressions of a desperate careerist impulse. I use social media with the attention-crazed dopesickness of an addict, not the care and forethought of a professional, as any cursory read of my posts will confirm. I'm a writer by trade — a creative, as you might say — and here you are, running a business you don't even understand into the ground, deskilling my trade and expecting a thank you when you explain how you're doing it. If I don't devalue myself the way you continually devalue me, you warn, I'll be left behind. Okay, says I! Quit making it my problem and go! The dust you leave me in will settle, and in the meantime, I will keep doing my work in much the way I've done it since I first became literate.
