@zackpolanski.bsky.social is it true that your Facebook account has been suspended today? Worrying if true. I hope the reports are inaccurate?

Looking for a charity or agency in Southwark / Lambeth that can pass on good quality white goods (specifically a 2 year old electric cooker) to those in need. Several charities provide grants or loans to help people purchase, but does anyone take 2nd hand cookers? The answer may be "no"...

You read this and it sounds perfectly reasonable, right? Nobody should be saying people should be sent to camps! How horrible! Aaron doesn't mention that the REASON people are using "camps" rhetoric is because he very recently said that it was fine to use this language about and to trans people.

It is incredibly telling, to me at least, how Cameron and May were more progressive on trans rights, and yet even those areas of recognition are being rolled back/completely destroyed by Labour, yet trans and non-binary individuals are ignored, talked over, and told to shut up and support Labour.

It was true when they all pretended that they believed Keir Starmer was a skilled and popular politician with the country’s best interests at heart. None of these people give a fuck about much more than maintaining the hierarchy and the order of things, and they’ll say whatever it takes to keep it.

It simply *does not matter* if the Tory leader is an imbecile and a crook. If the choice is e.g. an empowered Green Party sticking at troublesome levels of popularity or Kemi unicyling into the House as PM wearing giant clown shoes, then that is not even a choice for our ruling class.

I'm trying to come up with some witty observation about how the british museum clearly can't be trusted to look after heritage items and ensure they are seen by a diverse range of people so we should send them all off to other countries but it's Friday pm and that's the best I could do.

Tons of people were assuring us just yesterday that Burnham laid out an epic and cool road map to socialism. I guess destroying the lives of a bunch of young disabled people is part of that somehow. Probably too smart for me to get it.

Since I'm on strike, I haven't checked my work emails but I've heard about this email that HR have sent asking us to be nice to senior management. Tell me, is it nice of them to make staff redundant? Is it nice of them to cut Scottish literature and Gaelic courses? Are these nice behaviours?

Is it not pretty odd that they ever had a leadership class that openly hated the party and most of the people in it? Is it not doubly odd that nobody said this was a problem at the time, and that they either remained silent or cheered wildly for it.
