Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

You know, they never stop at one group. Never. They come for one, they (eventually) come for all. They start with the smallest because they know the others will go about their business, thinking it will never happen to them. We should all be thinking about this. Because they will get to you.

“Women” and “Victim” are now keywords for defunding. The trans exclusionary radical feminists sure picked the wrong dogs to lie down with.

To cheer myself up I’ve just gone down the YouTube rabbit hole of SM:TV Live. Many a happy hungover morning was spent with my student pals watching this in our jammies, eating rolls and square sausage with a gallon of Irn Bru. Happy, simpler times. #timelinecleanser youtu.be/l08XV0nuhfE?...

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Today Trump completely stabbed Zelenskyy, Ukraine and Europe in the back. When will UK politicians finally stop sucking up to Trump & the US? When will the UK finally drop their famous 'red lines' and start the process of applying to join the EU? 🇬🇧🇪🇺

We should be screaming this from the rooftops: "As politicians on the far right and the right compete for votes by peddling hostility towards migrants, ageing populations are shrinking the pool of workers who can pay for pensions and support the welfare state." Q. Want a pension? A. Immigration.

#35 The Book That Held Her Heart by @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social. Fuck me, what a book. Its incredible. What with the current political landscape around the world, this feels like such an important, necessary book. Reminding us of the power of words and books. Reminding us that those who (1/2)

The media are crying out for a serving politician to decry Trump, so here goes: he’s a lying, corrupt, incompetent criminal who is a useful idiot to Putin. Together they are literally destroying the fabric of western democracy and European security. Is any MP prepared to agree?

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

I don't understand why people are still using X. If you are worried about losing an established network audience, some real numbers: I had 30K+ followers there and I have 13K here--the engagement is the same, if not better, here. Re-build. You don't need anything Muskrat's empire offers.

This isn't a movie or a soap opera or a badly written serial. No one is coming to rescue us. There won't be a surprise super hero stepping out of a phone booth to save us. Except for . . .You. Us. Put on your capes and get to work.
