Well, I think I’m just about done here. Can’t stand this platform anymore. I’m now on #Tribel as ezrathedragon. Catch you all on the flip side, cheerio! 👋
When you think about it, the fact that we have to pay for anything and everything is pretty disturbing. It doesn’t have to be this way. Money doesn’t exist in nature. This is a man-made prison that we need to break out of ASAP.
💸 During the Covid-19 pandemic £9bn was wasted on substandard or overpriced PPE and £37bn was wasted on a failed Test and Trace system.
💚 The money for game-changing policies like Universal Basic Income is there. All that's required is the political will to use it fairly.
The dangerous, anti-encryption #EarnItAct passed out of committee this morning. We know this bill—it's back from the dead to restrict the internet and make everyone less safe online. Thanks to @SenAlexPadilla for entering a letter from 133 human rights orgs into the record
Do not be offended by what I'm about to say:
In the 70s - 80s a rough estimate of 25,000 children were abused in care homes up and down this country
60 - 70% of those children grew up to be adults who ended up in prison to be judged by both the public and criminal justice system
However, during that time. Much of society turned a blind eye. This included NHS staff (including Doctors/Nurses), Teachers, Social Workers, Police, and even MPs like Margaret Hodge. You all turned a blind eye
Some will be surprised to hear my voice because many of those kids are dead or in mental institutions or in prison with serious mental health issues
Me, I'm still marching with my head held high. An ex-violent offender who is proud of not turning a blind her when I saw something.. I was the scrawny little kid who reached for a frying pan and smashed it around a care worker's head who started attacking another 10-year-old child.
So, although many were silenced who died in mysterious or suspicious circumstances.
I've always been underestimated but I'm still here marching! So, I speak on behalf of the many thousands (my little comrades)
So, criminal justice system. You can try all you want to break me. But you'll never silence me!!! NEVER!!!
Retweet, so they can hear our voices ✊
@Peston I feel we should swear allegiance to the pursuit of abolishing the monarchy and then physically stripping these pampered, racist pieces of shit of everything they haven’t earned with their own labour.
Hundreds of thousands of teachers are on strike this week. Why?
📉 Real pay down by more than 20% since 2010
📖 Devastating austerity cuts to school budgets
👩🏫 Stress, exhaustion and unbearable workloads amid a retention crisis
RT if you're with our teachers 👊
We killed it once before, but new Congress == new rules. The “Kids Online Safety Act” is an internet censorship bill that’s on the fast-track to passage. Here’s the lowdown on why it’s terrible, why it’s moving, and how we can stop it 👉 https://t.co/ZHBiWJ5QeE
Tfw you’re bored as fuck and randomly come up with concepts for carnivorous plants
Like one that lures in its prey with the scent of salted caramel, only to trap prey as large as small mammals in its stomach

I’m pretty sure that if white-faced scops owls were native to the UK there would be some sort of myth about shapeshifting faeries based on them
Tbh there probably already is and if so, gimme *grabs all the folklore anthologies I can possibly find*
Concept: an alternate world in which #manticores are humanity’s only natural predators and the reason the uncanny valley effect exists is because everyone know a manticore’s eerily humanoid face means certain death #writingideas#horrorwriting#speculativeevolution
