We will not be mourning a Government that implemented the benefits cuts that meant many families were having to grieve their loved ones.

If the new Prime Minister cares about disability equality, he should commit to a reversal of the cuts we have suffered over the last decade.

a post about ADHD that's really stuck with me

disentangling shame about "wasted potential," recalibrating sense of "top speed" vs sustainable speed:

"that’s like saying if Usain Bolt just kept going he could be the fastest marathon runner in the world"

@ASPolice received a condolences card from a police officer last night, just to let you know the coroner’s website is incorrect on it, and is missing a hyphen in the middle.

Sir Keir Starmer KC has just confirmed that Labour will keep the two-child policy.

UK set for a massive depopulation crisis. Without the help of immigrants or an improved birth rate to solve that crisis, we face an unsolvable social care crisis in future years.

Utterly naive.

[Tory Fibs @ToryFibs]

Starmer’s policy to maintain a two-child cap on working class people having children is a Malthusian & Darwinian attack on ordinary people, part of an ideology that belongs in the 1930s and before. Class eugenics.

message to my enemies: when the revolution comes you're not just gonna get the wall, buddy, you're gonna get four walls, a roof, clean clothes, good food, education, and quality health care because that's what every human being alive deserves

My biggest takeaway from the Titan story is that we absolutely could have coordinated, multinational efforts to ensure no migrant dies crossing the sea and we choose not to.

If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service

great. my kids saw this and started crying. i was going to tell them when they were old enough to handle it

She got *a lot* of transphobic jokes at the time in the media and in schools but there were no "trans has gone too far" thinkpieces by controversy columnists, and she still got popular support. So much of this so-called culture war is literally just a media construction.

There's a lot of AI moral panic going on right now, but this is an actual vulnerability. It takes a previous vulnerability — basically simjacking — to a whole new level.

[Rivkah Brown @rivkahbrown]

We have a Labour party today that is more anti-semitic than ever. A party that wants to whip Jews into line on Israel; that has expelled more Jews than in any period of its history; and that (quoting Forde) has created a "hierarchy of racism" that pits Jews against others.

We’re coming up on the 15 year anniversary of the end of the Hollywood writers strike, so here’s Michael Schur explaining why Steve Carell is a real one for not crossing the picket line

The anti-internet-piracy ideology of major record companies was so strong that in the year 2000, Columbia records threatened to sue The Offspring, their own artist, for planning to release a free MP3 album.

[cara.city elsewhere @caraesten]

reading a post on Tumblr about how zoomers just have trans classmates and it's a normal, unsurprising thing now, and like, it's good to understand that we're *winning* and that's why there's so much culture war backlash against us
