Of course!! About half my post was wanging on about right wing control of women and their bodies to support their nation state. He tried to bring the great Jordan Peterson as a counter. Sigh

That I just got mansplained that I was wrong and the gender pay gap does not exist on my own FB on an IWD says it all really

Oooh Fylingdales Moor for the rock art and barrows. I recently took my teen up there fossil hunting and managed to drag him forward a few years to go look

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

Had a full house of friends for dinner last night and some eejit asked about my research. This eejit replied and the conversation descended into a lengthy rant from all about tokenistic workplace voice… lesson learnt. Will adopt Fight Club principles from here on out

Not sure in these circumstances that my enemy’s enemy is my friend but still, I shall dust off my schadenfreude and watch

Here with popcorn to see the comment on Morgan McSweeney. The man. The myth. Coming to a tawdry newspaper column near you soon blaming the continued demise of Labour on not being hard right enough

After leaving teaching I worked for a union and seeing how staff (and therefore kids, disabled, frail and elderly) are treated in private care homes was a struggle

We marketise everything and all but the eye wateringly rich thrive. Must not sink under the despair of it all!

βœ”οΈ Agree strongly

Good work @autisticsociety.bsky.social

No charity, third-sector or public-sector organisation should still be on X. If you’re connected to anything like that, try to persuade them to leave?

A paradigm case of populism. Promise sellers that prices will go up, and buyers that they will go down.

I’ve used it a little bit at work and it’s more long winded to prompt it to turn out an accurate thing it isn’t worth it. And if you have no basic understanding of the thing it is frankly dangerous. Climate aside why would you outsource your brain. Mine needs all the thinking it can get

Last Saturday morning rang my husband through car Bluetooth and demanded he take down my immediate dictation of an analytical thought for my thesis! Felt doubly powerful as was a semi reasonable thought

No guarantees BUT, if you need a bit of relief from it all Stevie Nicks Edge of Seventeen played VERY loudly will certainly not make it worse

Hang on, I thought it was lefties like me that were all about the nanny state? This woman’s stupidity and short termist thinking (steeped in a steaming mug of Imperialism) apparently knows no bounds
