This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Survived walking up the embankment against the flow of the Charli xcx crowd with a chinese takeaway in my hand I feel like Jason Bourne

The worst person you know: " Hi guys. Just logged in to the HSE website to opt out of organ donation".

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

Can someone please give Julian Simmons paid work so he doesn't stain his legacy with advertising feckin Facebook competitions

But, you know, let's jail people for years if they even talk about protesting.

Putting up the rent forever is just one of the many attractive aspects of the Government’s housing plan.

If you don’t get why people were sucked into Qanon, yet you pay the blindest bit of attention to anything this account posts, you do get why people were sucked into Qanon.

People who abstained from voting to decriminalise abortion: -Wes Streeting (health secretary) -Bridget Phillipson (women and equalities minister) -Rosie Duffield (top feminist and woman defender)

Shelters are a lifeline in Israel from Iranian attacks, but Palestinian citizens of the country have been locked out.

MPs vote to decriminalise abortion in historic vote

🚨 BREAKING UPDATE Labour has FINALLY accepted defeat in our legal challenge of anti-protest powers We won this case in court twice - under both Conservative and Labour leadership Gov must now commit to reviewing ALL arrests made under these unlawful powers www.lbc.co.uk/news/exclusi...

I'm not saying policing is easy but this does not strike me as being either human rights compliant or trauma-informed. The impact of police standing by & letting terrorist mobs destroy people's homes is catastrophic for human rights, equality, personal safety & dignity. @policeserviceni.bsky.social

Sure 12 people have as much wealth as 4 billion people combined but they told me this is human nature and the best we can do so this is what life is and always will be ❤️

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

Just attended the deeply moving service at St Paul’s Cathedral to mark the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide — a solemn reminder of where hatred, dehumanisation & impunity lead. We say never again — yet a genocide is taking place in Gaza right now. The world must act.

20% since 2020 is insane

For the avoidance of doubt if you posted Gordon Lyons' house address online he would have your front door kicked down your corridor by the police quicker than you can blink but he's more important than people under active threat of being harmed sure

And yet the world just scrolls on by.
