Hoping this week - with the combination of Gareth Southgate's talk and "Adolescence" - is the "Mr Bates vs The Post Office" moment for the Manosphere. Teenage boys deserves SO much more joy and optimism than Andrew Tate.

This is an abysmal, brutally reverse-engineered instance of mega-corp fossil-fuel lawfare waged against Greenpeace. It’s a strategic takedown of a deep-rooted, rare-growing force for good on Earth. A(nother) desperate day for justice and the planet.

This helps. And I bet you it really upsets them. youtu.be/CUpOMSJ1MdU?...

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training. I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

Mark Hamill posting rebellious content in a battle against a dictator and his robotic sidekick is the most Star Wars shit ever.

Through the blizzard of orders and edicts, a picture is emerging of what Trump wants - to rule as an autocrat, exercising unchecked power. Latest column www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

You’ll not notice much difference from the Christmas mantelpiece and there’s a very good reason for that! Today absolutely feels like a light-all-the-candles-in-the-house kind of day. Happy Monday! 🥰 🕯️

It's Epiphany, which means it's time for Cuddling Kings in Medieval art

Upon my sickle I catch the sun And by my power I cast it on Across the sky The light to bring To rouse the gods To send the spring #WinterSolstice #Solstice #Midwinter #PlaymobilInfestation

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere. The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back. A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year. Fiat lux! 📷 by @annieworsley.bsky.social

Brat summer is a distant memory, its battleaxe winter: season of boilers, dragons & fearsome maiden aunts. Get in girls, we’re wearing our most moth eaten fur coats & rocking up in a fug of Embassy & Yardley with a box of York Fruits & a bottle of Harvey’s Bristol Cream & shit’s about to get real

It’s 1st of December. Mull everything. Mull the wine, mull the cider, mull your tea, mull the tap water, mull the cat, mull the carpet, mull the chairs. Mull it all! Get your hair cut in a mullet. Mull the Kintyre. Mull the halls with boughs of holly. Get everything mulled. FULL MULL AHEAD!

Today is 1 December, World AIDS Day.

It would be so great if you could RT my Etsy shop in the twoots below/above. My🌲 jewellery orders usually make up a significant part of my income at this time of yr but the X exodus has meant I’ve only received 1 order-pretty scary income-wise. A small boost would help so much. Thankyou🌿

NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next. I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great @timothysnyder.bsky.social 1/ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

'The strength of any democracy is measured by the rights of its least powerful citizens' James Baldwin 1963

In Trump's heart there is no curiosity, no wonder, no kindness, no compassion, no lightness of spirit; only ego, rage, resentment, impulsiveness and cruelty. You are better than him. He does not deserve your vote.

A statement from Linda Ronstadt

The purpose of the postmenopausal female is to smash the patriarchy, straddle the worlds, and sample the finest wines known to man, in quantities hitherto unsuspected.
