​Sheffield will not be dictated to by London. ​We stand firm. We stand united. We stand for justice, equality & human rights for ALL. 💚🇵🇸 ​Read Green Group Leader Cllr @angelaargenzio.bsky.social's open letter 👇 sheffieldgreenparty.org.uk/2026/10/16/s...
LETTER FROM CLLR ANGELA ARGENZIO, LEADER OF SHEFFIELD GREEN GROUP IN RESPONSE TO CLLR FRAN BELBIN, LEADER OF THE LABOUR GROUP REGARDING THE JOINT ADMINISTRATION OF SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL
  
16th October 2026  

Open letter from Cllr Angela Argenzio, Leader of Sheffield Green Group in response to Cllr Fran Belbin, Leader of the Labour Group regarding the Joint Administration of Sheffield City Council  

Dear Fran,  

Thank you for your letter and your interest in our recent Party Conference.  

As you will know from our working relationship, I am committed to upholding human rights for everyone and do not tolerate any form of racism.  

We have a shared commitment to ensuring that Sheffield is a diverse, welcoming and tolerant place. I am confident that the experience you have had working with me and my colleagues demonstrates our commitment to this and to our obligations under the Equality Act.  

You know that the Green Councillors are not antisemitic. Conflating Zionism with Judaism is itself antisemitic. We stand with all Jewish residents of Sheffield: we always have and always will.  

We will continue to oppose genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and illegal occupation wherever they occur, and we will continue to speak out against violations of international law and human rights.You will appreciate the Green Party also has some reservations about working with Labour. When we decided to work together in Sheffield, we knew there were issues upon which we profoundly disagreed, for example your Party's position on the Israeli Government's genocidal actions in Gaza and the rights to peaceful protest. We decided that for the good of Sheffield we would work together on issues where we agreed, acting as responsible local politicians to take the challenging decisions needed for the city.  

We are very clear that we are in favour of solving problems. Much as I appreciate that you and other Labour Leaders have been directed by your national Party Leader, we have to do what is best for Sheffield and set aside our political differences.  

Both you and I know the consequences of destabilising Sheffield City Council: for our city, for our employees and our plans for taking the city forward. Our responsibility goes beyond the direction you are receiving from London. If Labour chooses to destabilise Sheffield City Council over this, Labour owns the consequences.  

I am happy to meet with you to discuss how we move forward.  

Yours sincerely,  
Cllr Angela Argenzio  
Leader of the Green Group

No one should face exclusion or discrimination because of who they are. The Green Party stands in solidarity with the trans community and will keep fighting for equality that includes everyone.
Quote graphic from Rachel Millward co-deputy leader that reads. The EHRC's guidance sets a dangerous precedent. In its current form, it is appalling and risks legitimising bigotry, harassment and violence. The Green Party stands in solidarity with the trans community. The guidance must be withdrawn, and the government must act to fix our equality laws so they protect the rights, dignity and safety of everyone.

Congratulations Andy Burnham. This is your chance for a reset in Government.
Text reads:  Congratulations Andy Burnham

 This is your chance for a reset in Government.

Will you follow in the steps of the previous government and continue attacking the hard won rights of the LGBTQ+ community? Or will you change course and lead a government that stands for the human rights of all?

We encourage you to speak with the trans community, to understand where your predecessor got it wrong, and to undo the internationally condemned decisions of the last government.

Your legacy is yours to write.

Burnham talks as if the genocide in Gaza is in the past, but it's happening NOW. Britain is arming Israel NOW. This UN report is from two weeks ago. Burnham must commit to fully ending UK complicity NOW.

If you think Keir Starmer is a 'decent' person, you need to speak to the many, many minorities his government has targeted mercilessly. You can't speak to all of them, however, because many of them are dead because of choices Keir Starmer's government made

I think I'm unclear on what you're suggesting - I thought you were saying that running against him inherently pushes him to commit to electoral reform, in which case I don't understand how that would work. If you're saying that we should _threaten_ to run against him _unless_ he commits, then sure.

Braiba @braiba.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
Does making him work for it not just push him towards making more of these behind-the-scenes deals in order to make sure he can win though? Feels like it could end up being counterproductive.

I've only seen a few, but Aabria's seasons are my favourites because I just love her very free-form style (ACoF&F is my #1, but it was also my first, so might just be bias from that). That said, Brennan doing more free-form with Gladlands worked really well, and maybe has my favourite individual ep.

Fiction books do sometimes refer to the reader as "you", but I have only ever encountered this where the implication is that the reader being addressed exists in the same world as the story, rather than in a third-wall breaking sense of the reader being the consumer of a fictional piece of media.
000
Braiba @braiba.bsky.social · 15/03/2026
I don't think this is true - for example, Wikipedia describes the book 'Harrow the Ninth' as being "narrated in second-person", but the "you" the narration is referring to is explicitly a specific in-fiction character that the narrator is talking to - not the literal person reading the book.

Braiba @braiba.bsky.social · 15/03/2026
Didn't you previously say that the reason you were opposed to implementing click-movement in Earth Must Die was that you wanted the player to feel like they *are* Vvalak, or am I mis-remembering that? I certainly consider a character I'm controlling to be "me" in a game - especially in 1st person
100
Braiba @braiba.bsky.social · 15/03/2026
I would disagree with that definition, but in this case surely it's irrelevant, because the character within the world that we are viewing the hieroglyph from is the one you are controlling from a first-person perspective, and is therefore inarguably "you"?
100
Braiba @braiba.bsky.social · 15/03/2026
Surely "second person" is just "from another character that exists in the world" where "third person" is "from a view that doesn't exist in the world", so yeah, that does seem accurate? (Assuming you are directly controlling the hieroglyph character in that footage, which looks to be the case)

I think about this post a lot
Tumblr post by stimmyabby

Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority"

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you" and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person"

and they think they're being fair but they aren't, and it's not okay.

As a transsexual I can't tell you how thrilled I am that fascists are feeling unsafe in bathrooms.
DHS post: Today, Border Patrol agents who were in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area as part of a targeted enforcement operation were repeatedly harassed and blocked by hostile crowds while simply trying to take bathroom breaks. At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving, creating unsafe conditions. At one stop, individuals in the crowd threw food at the agents. At their final gas station stop, someone spit on an agent. When an agent moved to detain the person who spit on him, the crowed tackled and attacked the agents while surrounding them.

Looks like a styling/broken image issue on some kind of tooltip, but the field itself is there when you click - just looks very janky. Unfortunately I've just remembered I'm currently waiting on a replacement bank card after I had a fraud issue, so I'll have to wait until later in the week to buy.
