More than a decade ago, there was this guy sort of nominally in my friend group of young sober people in the DC area. It seemed like he was always showing up and leaving gatherings with the youngest girls with the least amount of sobriety. Other women, including me, started warning them. 1/

Yep. warmth, politeness & de-escalating skills are survival mechanisms. then you don’t get taken as seriously. But if you are colder, you get taken seriously but are considered to be lacking interpersonal skills. And if you just live life without centering any men, some get upset, persistent & scary

Disability doesn’t care how old you are. Specialist food is no cheaper if you’re 19. Employers don’t lose their prejudice if you’re 21. This is blatant intergenerational inequality from Labour. Younger disabled people of all severities deserve better. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Crazy idea, bear with me, but how about you tax the rich like they ought to be taxed? How about you close up all the loopholes that let corporations that earn billions get away with being untaxed? Oh and seize all of the Putin's UK assets for even better reasons. Instead of all this locks tripe?

This is a dreadful argument from Burnham. Empirically false - almost 6m people were granted settled status; about 4m are currently resident. More importantly panders to racism/xenophobia, and directly contradicts argument made in his speech about migrant contributions.

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.

The diagram is labeled “Transportation Funding Flows from Public and Private Interests to Auto and Oil Industries.” Of money spent by consumers on vehicles, fuel, and maintenance, and various sources of government funding, a large share ends up in the aforementioned industry.
