Bloody woke elitists. I definitely do not have an English degree.

We all get that the government is going hard on the RAF vandalism because we're preparing for war right? You can't have people damaging your planes when you need those planes to stop bombs killing the population. I fucking hate that I felt the need to write those sentences. This timeline sucks.

So, I've spent the last hour getting thrashed on #Minecraft mini games by a 7 year old. How's your self-esteem?

Wonderful

Amnesty International, as the world’s leading independent human rights group, is deeply careful (and often criticised as being slow) when it comes to its research findings. It has now found with painful clarity that Israel is: 1) An apartheid state; and 2) Committing genocide against Palestinians.

So Starmer DIDN’T say he supports the US strikes. Not in this interview. This is a leader being diplomatic in a highly volatile situation. Personally that’s what I want. Tories & R*form have both strongly supported the US. vm.tiktok.com/ZNdUQUsL4/

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

Utterly insane that the fate of millions, even billions of living people is forever handcuffed to the whims of a handful of belligerent idiots with a God complex playing Jenga with humanity for personal gain during the blink of an eye that they're on this planet. The sheer pointlessness of it all.

When people said Full Bush was in this year, I didn’t think they meant they wanted the US to invade a Middle Eastern nation falsely claiming they had weapons of mass distruction

So #assisteddying it is. Now we wait and see if it can be applied well or if we see people unnecessarily dying.

Love this.

"I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread." Poem for Juneteenth. From The Selected Poems of Langston Hughes: bookshop.org/a/862/9780679728184 #poem #booksky #writing

Brilliant article. Incredible to have an #MP opening up like this. So many of us have had to deal with systemic gaslighting around domestic & sexual violence. Also great to see her challenge the rituals of #Parliament that exclude or discourage people. Keep up the great work!

This administration really is just a war on a free and open society

There should be a rule where, if you are really busy in your dream, you can take the day off work.

WTF is wrong with people?
