I watched 6 horror movies over the Halloween weekend, because I could
Not on purpose, necessarily, I just wasn't well, and I'd already watched way too much Supernatural. And there are soo many Scream movies I haven't seen. What else is a girl to do when she can't sleep?

Trump being named as TIME's Person of the Year epitomizes the media's complicity in fascism and the polarization of the masses. The system doesn't give us a choice. It works tirelessly to normalize authoritarianism and class warfare as ubiquitous parts of society while turning us against each other.
Tweet from @TIME:

Donald Trump is TIME's Person of the Year

Healthcare should be care, not violence. Yet in the United States, the economic structure of the healthcare system means that people regularly receive the opposite of care in a functionally violent way. Those are the seeds.

Ambulance blocked by protesting tractors. Remember the outrage when it was suggested that Just Stop Oil protesters might block hypothetical emergency services vehicles? Yet no one seems to be as outraged by actual emergency services vehicles being blocked. www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/ambulan...

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents. It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years. There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

35% of people in the UK will never own their own home. 10% of adults are reliant on Food Banks. 15% of people will never have £10,000 at one time in their entire lives. And we are supposed to worry about farmers who aren't happy getting only £3,500,000 inheritance tax free. F*ck off.
