Refugees, asylum seekers & trans people might have *a lot* to say about how fully human they feel seen as by the current government given its policies toward them
Thank you for the recommendations. I will always welcome more knowledge. My father is from a former British colony, so I was lucky to have an education in the depredations of the English that your average Brit doesn't get, which is why the exceptionalism & empire whitewashing angers me so much.
Watch this clip.
Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.
This angers me, a Brit, most. The biggest (evil) political thing globally the UK did was the empire, but children are never taught anything about it. Some more progressive schools teach about the slave trade, but that's it. No wonder our people still cling to this arrogance & delusion of superiority
What if British pro-Europeans just tried to make the UK a normal large member state, rather than wanting to "lead Europe" and "make London the EU's capital"?
This national exceptionalism is really killing any chances for the development of a European identity.
You mean an actual, bona fide break from the constant litany of unrelenting atrocities trailing across the planet, interspersed with the latest outrages of avarice and cruelty, like an inexorable, eternal ticker-tape of doom?
Appreciate the thought.
Alright. Let's fucking do this. Let's talk about why I, as an editor, encourage people to watch professional wrestling to write fight scenes, why wrestling was an escape for me as a trans person, why wrestling has this reputation, and where you can watch less shitty people wrestle.
@toni.bsky.team @aaron.bsky.team why is this considered an acceptable use of the site while making jokes about the obvious conclusion of Gavin Newsom's political policies is not? why is harassing a rape victim signal boosted by the website's moderation while clear and present danger is ignored?
sharing with her permission
by the way, here's Cassie (rape.fan) emailing the moderation team about the user who was harassing her and threatening to email her rapist. three weeks ago.
they never responded.
but they perma'd her for a post from June.
@aaron.bsky.team, you are despicable.
And they're holding their tongues
Mine might be Ali Burton
All right night people⦠the request line just stretched awake.
My favourite Miyazaki film!
"Hi @inkradio.bsky.social, it's a weird and uncertain time we're living in. It's been hitting me hard, like I'm sure it has a lot of other people.
Could you please spin up 'Strange Fire' by Indigo Girls?"

That happened to me yesterday. Took me an hour to drive from Ally Pally to the bookshop.
I went to the shop to pick up books to sell at Super-Relaxed Fantasy Club. The books were never delivered, because of the roadworks.
As per my previous blute, I've cancelled my sub to NYT's The Athletic, in light of their determination to push genAI with dishonest & quite frankly crass claims abt the writing of great authors.
Interesting that, unlike other cancellations, they did not ask why I cancelled.

Very tempted to cancel my subscription to The Athletic on this basis.
