My kid learned to whistle with/play his cupped hands like a flute. He’s really good at, can play recognizable tunes and control the pitch. But he taught all the other kids and now the local primary school‘s teetering on the edge, mutiny conditions spreading quickly. The power of learning!

there is no sensible reason why a 5 year spouse visa cost us a little over fourteen grand. none whatsoever. and that's before you break it down to the addition of renewals every 30 months, the health surcharge, the endless price hikes, the final kick in the teeth for ILR (three grand! to settle!)

Rancière // Dissensus
The essence of politics resides in the modes of dissensual subjectivation that reveal a society in its difference to itself. The essence of consensus, by contrast, does not consist in peaceful discussion and reasonable agree ment, as opposed to conflict or violence. Its essence lies in the annul ment of dissensus as separation of the sensible from itself, in the nullification of surplus subjects, in the reduction of the people to the sum of the parts of the social body and of the political community to the relations between the interests and aspirations of these different parts. Consensus consists, then, in the reduction of politics to the police.
