The problem with capitalism is it distorts the natural balance of Fucking Around & Finding Out by creating a class that is allowed nearly infinite fuckery with zero finding out

Can I have some legitimate concerns please? Hello, UK government, I have a legitimate concern that temperatures will rise to a level that destroys many already-struggling nations, leading us in to an era of food scarcity wars. And now we wait for Andy Burnham to act on my legitimate concerns😎

Someone has come to a blind/partially-sighted community I’m in, saying their therapist told them to seek out those with worse visual impairments to help them process having developed floaters. I… am having some mixed feelings about this. It’s good to seek community and understanding. But.. the vibe?

One of the faultlines in society is between people who think we should prioritise making sure everyone who's eligible for something gets it, and people who think we should prioritise making sure that nobody who isn't eligible for something gets it

Manics fans: James Dean Bradfield contributed guitars to this album. And the band have once again worked with Zionist Steve Wilson, getting him to remix ‘The Holy Bible’ of all fucking things. So maybe they’re not saying nothing after all. And maybe it’s time more of us start saying things about it.

I hate doing the "a rollback of trans rights is the gateway for a rollback of women's rights" thing because trans rights are human rights in and of themselves, whatever the impact on cis women. But goddamn I wish more cis women had a sense of history and self preservation.

We've all heard about the terrifying 'tipping points' when complex weather systems and fragile, interconnected ecosystems cross a point of no return. However there also positive tipping points, where meaningful action achieves critical mass. Here are some examples most likely to have real impact.

Spoke too soon on the Reddit sitch. As soon as I say something of substance, people are vile. And my body trauma-reacts so hard even though I KNOW it’s stupid & meaningless & I genuinely DO NOT CARE. My body does care. My stomach falls & I start shaking & how am I meant to exist like this please

An historic day for a Rachel as my ‘good’ eye’s functional ability clocks in at worse than my ‘bad’ eye for the first time in Rachstory, incredible work by the ol’ cataracts, gotta shout out to the NHS for not seeing me for 4? years? and dragging their feet with 3 consecutive referrals too 👍👍👍

Politicians only talk about "hard working families" so when your ability to work and entitlement to family life is ripped away from you by a cult of bigots, you become marginalised no matter what. The contradiction of GCs raising grievance when they got what they wanted is a feature not a bug.

the thing about "separating the art from the artist" is that it comes from academic circles where they were trying to separate an artist's views from an interpretation of their work as an intellectual exercise, not as a way to give people moral carte blanche to support shitty people

If we don’t collectively agree to cancel the FUCK out of Max Bemis for life, we don’t deserve any music at all. Jesus Christ. But what do I know, Brand New got two nights at a 4,000 cap venue in Denver, and we have an untouchable pedo in the White House.
