Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵 6529311072

In a sane media environment, the bathroom ban would be the end of anyone treating 'gender critical feminists' as anything other than a hate group. It's a straightforwardly bigoted policy that imposes an insane 'solution' to a nonexistent problem. 242969719

I cannot put my shoulder down and push, Nor grab a mic and issue rallying cry, The wide world does not bend to my will.

Alexis & Charly // AksanDotDev @aksan.dev · 12/11/2024Back home from Exmoor and everything is right in the house. A few days more rest as we try to uncoil our stress and then hopefully a return to the PhD. We'd say the writing projects but if we're unwinding then we're sneaking back to those as soon as our energy levels allow. 000
Alexis & Charly // AksanDotDev @aksan.dev · 08/11/2024We have arrived upon our walking holiday and discovered we are outliers age-wise by about three decades from the rest.
