my best friend worked at University of Mississippi at the time when nearly the entire faculty and student body was demanding the Confederate statue at the entrance be taken down but it wasn’t, because apparently the answer to Mike’s question is “a handful of very rich football families”

I actually get my information from people who understand exactly what it is and why it’s a fucking autocorrect slot machine that does nothing but extract. This is hot garbage. Just because I have ethics and a spine doesn’t mean I don’t also engage critical thinking. Slop boosters don’t.

Another reason show cancellations are spiking btw. Miley said she couldn’t face touring again either. I know I’m not famous but I’ve been exclusively focusing on local stuff since returning. I won’t even travel far on the train.

This also applies to your favorite independent touring musicians, if you’re wondering why show cancellations are accelerating

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Wrote a lil something reflecting on my experience at the Thamesmead Festival in August!

The whole thing is available online now, but if you're local it'll be dropping through your door soon!

I get what she’s saying, but fundamentally if you surround yourself with people who are likely to hold you accountable you then need to not cry when they hold you accountable

They rejected us from cat (and dog) adoption from every shelter we were feasibly close enough to because of this - and the fact we only have a shared garden in our building. We live in a (pretty large) 4th floor flat. In London. Just mathematically, most Londoners live in flats with no garden

I cannot ever forget how the marching bands refused to be silent, as requested, going past the house where the mother of those three murdered boys took refuge in the weeks after her unthinkable loss. A small detail that exposes everything this march is for.

Someone I follow said the iced coffee thing is a sign of the literacy crisis because it’s about Fortune 500 companies, and when someone pointed out that actually no, it’s still elitist nonsense that should be called out, she told people to stop reading more in to it than there is.

Have you ever had a corporate meeting in your life? Business dinners used to be the norm, grabbing a coffee and a snack while we walk to a room is the norm whenever I’m in the office. Breaking bread is an ancient human custom across cultures for a reason. It’s normal human social behaviour

Your feed now contains one Red Deer and several complimentary ferns. Enjoy.
A Red Deer looks through a curtain of green ferns with its antlers tangled in leafy fronds, giving the impression it's accidentally wearing a woodland hat. The softly blurred background creates a peaceful forest scene.

Ireland, like most countries, punishes women financially for having children, does not value care work or pay for it appropriately, and has an economy that depends on the unpaid care work of women. We are fundamentally unprepared for an aging population with fewer young folks around.

Had a really good driving lesson on Monday. FINALLY finished an almost year-long remortgage today (our housing association are cunts) and we've been given a two and a half grand refund for "surplus" payments (I don't fully understand why but that's Christmas and our new dining chairs sorted!)

Poorly disguising masks have fully fallen and fascists are no longer pretending to be anything else and yet our public discourse is still filled with hedging takes around "anti-immigration activists", "legitimate concerns" and "populism"

The Left party (Die Linke)'s win in Berlin's state election on Sunday received so little attention in UK media . When AfD won in Saxony-Anhalt 2 weeks ago it was covered like the 2nd Coming ( perhaps in some sections of UK media it is 🙄 ) but I would also like know about progressive wins in 🇩🇪 too .

I've got an item on vinted that people keep favouriting. I've accepted two separate offers people never followed up on, and I've now even dropped the price a bit. And yet still, here I sit. I've got other items with like triple digit faves and not a single offer. What is WRONG with people?

A prominent Black gay writer once told me biphobia isn't real and also told me that every time a straight couple tries to take advantage of a bisexual woman as their fuck toys, actually that means the woman in the couple is actually queer and not straight at all.

Honestly? For me one of the worst things Ed Sheeran has suggested throughout this is that children can't be involved in political discussion. My mum wasn't *hugely* politically savvy, but she believed everyone should engage with politics and I was always aware of stuff going on (wars, protest etc.)
