I think if you’re a young person (or an older person frankly) considering some kind of creative project, the state of the world is more or less “fuck it we ball” like, you might as well

The government could have finally brought Royal Mail into public ownership. It sold it to a Czech billionaire instead. We are being ripped off. It’s time to put Royal Mail back where it belongs: in public hands. bbc.in/49BZTmP

Yesterday I pulled overt references of queerness off my site, my very successful store that sells my books that have queer main characters. Because a few days ago, Meta emailed saying my advertising on their platform will be restricted - my site was categorized as "sexuality and gender identity."

I never want to hear David Frost say anything ever about Brexit. Or frankly, anything else. What an absolute wanker.

Always pretty frustrating to see tech that could have smaller, less flashy applications that people would actually benefit from get overhyped into the stupidest ways to scale privacy violations and/or labour alienation.

The job of media commentators is to respond thoughtfully to how people feel, not to tell them how to feel. Which is why the editorials deploring the reaction to the healthcare CEO slaying are such failures of curiosity and understanding, such triumphs of obliviousness and elite panic.

British people feeling the incessant need to be overly polite and burying what they’re trying to say under ten levels of fluff will be the end of me.

Labour’s manifesto promised to “remove indignities for trans people”, yet the government’s ban on puberty blockers adopts the Tories’ politicised unevidenced approach. Young people — cis & trans — must have access to healthcare they need. I stand firmly with the trans community.

Personally I would be more willing to pay for a social media website that made protecting marginalized people a core part of its business than one that offers them up as bait for bigots. That's my preference

If you think being #Autistic makes you more likely to MURDER PEOPLE for any reason, 1) WTAF? 2) You’re a bigot 3) I’m blocking you I don’t care what your neurotype is, this is a beyond disgusting thing to say. If you feel an urge to argue with me about this in the replies, please see points 1-3.
