100% this. It was a reaction against the overtly biographical readings of the time period, with the idea being that not only is authorial intent fundamentally unknowable, often even by the writer the author themselves, but also a limited tool in analyzing a work even if fully known.
With the Gorton and Denton win, our opponents have been working overtime to misrepresent Green Party drugs policy. Heroin in corner shops? Crack for kids?
Let's clear this up. 🧵
Hannah Spencer walking into Westminster, sucking her teeth, tutting, and muttering "tell you what, you've had some cowboys in here."
Hello darkness my old friend...
With universal basic income, we can do the work that matters to us or get paid much better to do the work that doesn't matter to us.
cis people love to "ma'am" me in the grocery store and "sir" me in the hardware store and frankly I'm tired of being treated like I'M the one who's delusional about gender under these circumstances
Fascists don’t need us to agree with them. They just need us to believe they can’t be stopped.
Never forget that cynicism can quickly be contorted into complicity.
Kaiju vs the Roman Empire is an underexplored genre of fiction that I believe has great entertainment potential.
A screenshot of I, Claudius with Claudius scolding a young Caligula and saying he'll talk to Godzilla later. (The correct name would have been Drusilla.)
I'm watching I, Claudius on Amazon Prime and I don't think they've quite got the subtitles right. Unless giant Japanese lizards were more of a feature of ancient Rome than I had imagined.
thread worth reading.
A few months ago some American troll asked me what would happen if someone tried to burn a Quran in front of a mosque in London. Expecting I think the answer “oh they would be killed”.
I said that probably someone would call the police & they’d be asked to move.
I ❤️ London
INDEPENDENT Playgrounds would become 'crack dens' if Greens were in power, policing minister says
I’m sorry, I know it’s a minor point, but crack dens are traditionally indoor establishments. What the scaremongering Labour minister is describing here is a crack paddock.
This is really amazing in an "oh wow, obviously" way

Sticker with yellow warning signs, reading CAUTION This installation has wiring colours to two versions of BS 7671
Roses are red
Silly rhymes are good fun
Since there is a new Dracula that is apparently pursuing the "tragic lost love" backstory, I want to talk about my favorite Drac, which is Louis Jourdan in the 1977 BBC miniseries COUNT DRACULA.
I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.
Picture of a gray haired woman wearing a shirt that reads on the back “come see my daughter’s film A Woman’s Work at Santa Barbara Film Festival 2/11 at 11:20am 2/12 6:20pm I am a Jewish mother seeking a girlfriend/future wife for my filmmaker daughter (she is multilingual and has an adorable dog). Please inquire with me”
Best advertisement I’ve seen so far at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival
#BREAKING EU Parliament votes to accept a report, that calls for "the full recognition of trans women as women" as part of the EU priorities for the UN CSW on "women’s rights and gender equality."

sir jim: sorry for BLOWING YOUR TINY MINDS with my GALAXY BRAIN RACISM I guess???
Going out on a limb to say 'ideally yes'
one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Predictably, this was magnificent.
Disability or incontinence wouldn't disqualify a person from being a good president, though dementia should.
Cruelty and lawlessness should have been the disqualifiers.
I get that the rage has to go somewhere. But this hurts innocent people. There's plenty of substance to rage about.
Chotiner: Tell me what you found interesting about these vampires.
Documentarian: Well, it's just -- the group dynamics, I guess.
Chotiner: I can see that. I can see finding Nandor, Laszlo and Nadia entertaining.
Documentarian: Exactly.
Chotiner: So. How many people did you watch them murder?
Unconditional, Universal Basic Income for every individual is not a "safety net", it's a foundation. It's the *baseline* that everything else builds on. It's a societal declaration that no human being should have to try and survive below that baseline.
Good grief. Do people who don't go to uni not benefit from doctors, librarians, researchers, lawyers, architects, artists, writers, archivists, historians, designers, programmers, etc etc etc...? What is this weird unjoined up world she imagines?
Horrific. ICE incarcerates the carer father of a disabled man, who then deteriorates and dies without his dad's care.
ICE refuse to allow the father to visit his son or get to his funeral.
All of these fights are and have to remain intersectional. There are no single-issue fights. #ICE #ICEKills
