I teach kids from working class mostly-white backgrounds and the radicalisation of a significant minority of them is frequently off the scale. They are being force-fed this misogyny via algorithms, and it’s striking how little care society has for the often terrified girls who study with them.

Add Pedro Pascal to the list of celebrities using their platform to defend us right now unapologetically. David Tennant, Miriam Margolyes, Lady Gaga, Chappelle Roan, Zoe Saldana (despite that movie she was in), they're putting in the work and deserve to be called allies 👏

Labour just announced spending CUTS deeper than the Tories EVER did When even the Tories didn't introduce spending cuts as severe as Keir Starmer has announced today - you know something is very wrong. With reaction from @bondngo.bsky.social and @stwc.bsky.social www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

Been saying we need to look at this thru a DV lens. The most dangerous time of an abusive relationship is when victims try to leave Obama was a departure from standard whiteness, and white supremacists will never forgive us for that or let us leave, even if that means they die with us

Luigi Mangione going free following a mistrial because Eric Adams will not stop chatting is not necessarily plausible, but it is the timeline we deserve.

Malcolm X was assassinated 60 yrs ago today. See his timeless wisdom on the true meaning of “progress.” “If you stick a knife 9 inches in & take it out 6—that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound. They wont even admit the knife is there.”

People who say the U.S. has never had gulags or programs are, once again, erasing Black people from American history.

My two alternating moods every single day this year.

I found a sign that perfectly embodies what it’s like to live in England in 2025!

The world has never been easier to be a hero in, but these "men need to be heroes" guys pretend they can't find their way to the recruiting office or the animal shelter or anywhere but the fucking gym.

I just... I love Kendrick so much. An inspiration to haters everywhere. The thinking person's hater.

On the “other place” I was asked by @caroljhedges.bsky.social “Can you explain what it is about the S African personality/ background? Not you obvs but both musky and Thiel are S African and utterly vile.” And it’s a damned fair question, with a rather dark, but obvious, answer. It follows below:
