Most good writers don’t have good writing advice. They’re just good writers, so what they say gets wrapped up in something that seems like a good idea. All of this is make-believe

Apparently 16 dead kids is just a good start, for these Cass-emboldened horrors. If you're in Scotland please make some noise at your representative about this. Details about the deaths can be found on the Good Law website, on their campaign to overturn the puberty blockers ban.

Scottish government advised to halt puberty blockerswww.bbc.com The advice is one recommendation from those looking into how the Cass review could be applied in Scotland.

Rwanda took 240 million pounds from the Uk and that ghoul Braverman to take refugees and at the end got the money and will take no refugees. Well played, Rwanda, and also a wonderful example of how conservatives manage money while fucking citizens over with "austerity" and "spending cuts"

pivoting from 'worried about UK election' to 'worried about French election', got no time to spend on 'worried about US election' right now, apols

Just because I've seen it from some well meaning people: be careful overemphasising the pro-Palestine independents as a Muslim phenomenon. It doesn't rank highly on top issues even among British Muslims and is a cross community issue.

I think I might have done something i previously thought was impossible this morning; too much peanut rayu on my eggs.

Underreported aspect of the UK GE here, there’s the same number of MPs elected on an explicitly pro-Palestinian platform as there are Reform MPs (lol at the choice of photo though)

War is a mass disabling event and any approach to disability justice should demand an end to war and a free Palestine, full stop.

“Some children think that their legs might grow again. This is one of the saddest things that we hear on a regular basis, when talking to children. They tell us, we’re waiting for our legs to grow again. Sometimes, it’s difficult to explain that that’s not going to happen.”

I am interested to learn that the anti-migrant, anti-homeless fencing on the Canal was installed by Waterways Ireland, not DCC or the Government. They can be directly contacted here: www.waterwaysireland.org/contact-us www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

Government did not request 'unsightly' fencing to prevent tents on Dublin's Grand Canalwww.irishexaminer.com Decision was taken solely by Waterways Ireland on health and safety grounds, Dáil's Public Accounts Committee told

Just found out that the guy who wrote 1984 is a different person to the one who directed Citizen Kane. I thought Orwell was just his two names together, like JLo.

I was cheated out of my true destiny: shooting a handful of new scenes so Roger Corman could add them to a Czech film he’d bought for a song & release it as ATTACK OF THE SWAMP FIENDS

I absolutely was meant to be a silent film star who made a handful of talkies before retiring

Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.
