Been struggling with x for a while, think it's definitely time to call it a day. The unsolicited unpleasant and offensive stuff in my feed makes it a place I no longer want to be. Hope to find all the peeps/orgs that I do want to follow, without distractions, in another place

@NCT_Buses can you please ask buses to stop automatically where there are multiple buses due 1. people who can't get near the road assume someone will put their hand out 2. you can't always get near enough to stop the bus! Happened twice this week!

I've decided to draw a series of pictures chronicling the worst types of public behaviour.
Any others I should draw?

No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.
