going to limit my time on here for the moment as everything is making me far too anxious. every news item that pops up is a spark of panic in my chest. if you need to contact me, leave an unmarked brown envelope in the disused post box where the river bends back on itself, I will check every 8 weeks
Daily Mail article about Blair being his usual disgusting satanic self

Lydia Davis The Dog Man A man in our office is really a dog. He does not do well, is slow and clumsy though extremely good-natured. There is also a dog in our town who is really a man and is tormented by his inability to handle things and to express himself and thus cannot be good-natured but is sly and furtive and ashamed of himself. He is hated by everyone and kicked into the corner of the room. Of course that is only one kind of dog who is really a man: another kind of dog who is really a man is like the man who is really a dog in our office, and he does very well because he is really most comfortable as a dog. From issue no. 97 (Fall 1985)

art allows us to enjoy stuff that in real life we would say, this is bad, I don't enjoy this
Walter White is a bad guy who is fun to watch
any "Heaven" whose purity relies on the continued suffering of this pitiful wretch is nothing of the sort

"pleeeaseee... kill ....... meeeeee"
left out the reply that permanently changed my vocabulary
YouTube comment saying "For those unaware, Fatboy Slim is in top 10 edm DJ/producers from the 90s who achieved commercial status"
YouTube is honestly an unmatched resource for information about artists who might otherwise have been forgotten and unappreciated
speed running the Vince McMahon meme as I first learn of the existence of a play about the 1995 Blur vs Oasis chart battle, then see that it's John Harris reviewing it
one thing I like saying to my cats in admonishment is "you know the rules" when they very clearly do not know and will never know the rules
New sentence I have just spoken aloud to a cat: "Act like you've been here before."
it's the day after World Book Day and all this is as relevant as it was then, apart from it not being World Book Day anymore
it's a prerequisite for the job

straightforwardly, unambiguously evil shit
and as many have pointed out, it's not even correct on its own terms, the British public is generally against mad kings and rogue states massacring children. and even adults, amazingly

honestly anyone running cover for this latest moral obscenity can just be told, off the bat, unambiguously, to shut the fuck up and do some soul searching
thinking about that Hugo Rifkind piece and, frankly, boiling. maybe crawl into a hole forever, you obsequious little bloodworm? sorry "the left" is out of step with the British public on the matter of mad kings teaming up with rabid rogue states to blow schoolgirls to bits, I'll get right on that
Check out this amazing project to bring mental health support to children in Gaza!
Think about the children in your life, and what you would want for them if they'd just been through an unimaginable trauma.
