My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Found when sorting an old drive. I still, very occasionally, say 'not many badgers in the House of Lords' and this is why:

Letter to the Guardian.
The protection of badgers has a long pedigree (Report, 29 August). Arthur Gore, known as "Boofy", the eighth Earl of Arran, was a fanatical defender of them. He was also a tireless campaigner for the rights of homosexuals. In 1967 he managed to push through a law in the Lords that decriminalised homosexuality but failed to pass a bill to outlaw the cruel hunting of badgers. When asked why he had not received enough support for his badger bill, he replied: "Not many badgers in the House of Lords." Tony Lywood Keswick, Cumbria

I’ll go even further: a lot of the white privilege that Ashkenazi Jews enjoy today is built on unstable socio-political terrain. The Third Reich built an entire legal system founded on the notion that we were Not White less than a century ago.

A screenshot of a post previously from Greenpeace. It’s a photo of a blue fence with black writing on top. The writing says:
‘If you ever feel heavy because you care deeply about injustice, suffering and ecological destruction. Remember that’s trillion dollar propaganda machine was built to make you numb and it didn’t work on you. ‘

I want to say something, but I’m pretty scared to. But I think I need to say it, and so I’m going to. Please read the whole thing before commenting. I hope you will take this in good faith.

I've been feeling increasingly disheartened & I'm not sure how to talk about it, to be honest. I’m scared. But it's important for me to say it because it's been rotting in my head & in my heart & I need to get it out. Whenever I bring up antisemitism & how frightening it's been recently, all I hear are crickets from non-Jews. Then I get DMs from Jewish people saying they feel the same way & are scared to say anything. This is a big problem. Antisemitism & real Jewish fear is being brushed aside because there are "other, bigger" problems. Because we need to be focusing on real atrocities. Once again, Jews don't matter. Others seem to view it as "you've invited this onto yourselves" - which is scarier, of course, because, once again, Jews & the Israeli government are being conflated. Suddenly, every Jew all over the world, through the whole diaspora, is responsible for the horrors of Gaza and you get bricks through windows of Jewish delis.

(A real thing that's happening, btw.) You get people being burned for showing support for the hostages who were taken (who don't matter because they were Israeli/Jews). You get synagogues being burned. All in the name of Palestine. How does that help? How does terrorizing another marginalized group of people solve anything? How is that activism? Jews are, once again, being set-up as the scapegoats. It happened in Rome. It happened in the Pale Settlement. It happened in Nazi Germany. It happened in the Soviet Union. I have fear in my bones from generations of my people being blamed, killed, arrested, suppressed, repressed, all because the ones in power wanted to keep the blame off themselves. It's happening again.

The other week, I was so badly triggered, I couldn't function. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, ever. It's a horrible feeling - the loss of control over your emotions, the gripping, suffocating fear clawing at your throat, the helplessness before a force much bigger than you. So what I'm asking is this: please be open to the idea that antisemitism can get you too and please listen to Jewish voices when they call it out. I've seen actual instances of people scoffing at it, people saying Jews are overreacting & detracting from the real issues, but this is actually important. It's happening. It matters because history CAN repeat itself. I'm not saying this matters more than anything else. I'm saying this matters ALSO.

So please learn to recognize it; educate yourselves; listen to Jewish voices. Be open to the idea that you're being manipulated by those who would benefit from antisemitism. And before anybody says anything, I need to add that what's happening in Gaza is beyond horrific and it makes me sick to my stomach, it is beyond comprehension. It is the work of a monster. It is a stain on us as a human race. I have and will continue to rail against it. The reason I felt the need to say something overall is because I hate living in fear. I spent the first 11 years of my life living in fear as a Jew. I never want to experience that again. So I know that I may get all sorts of responses to this, but I'm done hiding and cowering in fear. I'm proud of who I am, proud of who my ancestors are. We are not the enemy. We are just a people. We deserve to not live in fear.

LGB without the T is the greatest act of cowardice the gay community has ever produced. It is saying “We escaped the deadly risk of being ourselves with your help, now youre on your own.” As far as I’m concerned, LGB without the T is anti-queer. It is heterosexual, patriarchal bootlicking.

Today’s poem is called ‘The Importance of the Oxford Comma’.

The Importance of the Oxford Comma

Owing to ambiguities caused by its omission,
the Oxford comma was the subject of a petition
raised by serious serialists keen to ensure
its mandatory use in lists of three things or more.

And what a response! From across every nation,
the signatures poured in beyond all expectation –
from the investment bankers, robbers and thieves,
to the politicians, self-servers and exponents of sleaze.

There were the Daily Mail readers, the clowns and deluded;
the climate change deniers, the daft and the stupid;
the morally bankrupt, Donald Trump and Piers Morgan;
Elon Musk, a Bond villain and a trafficker of organs;

plus the poets, the drug fiends and chronically poor –
all supported this change to grammatical law.
This formal petition was then presented in hope
to Sir David Attenborough, the King and the Pope.
