@SalfordMe2023@stick_facts My mother worked for KwikSave in the ’80s. The cashier’s were expected to memorise every single price in the place. No labels, no scanners.
Fascism doesn't begin when everybody becomes evil.
That's the comforting fairy tale.
It begins when enough people become comfortable with somebody else losing their rights.
The immigrant.
The protester.
The journalist.
The trans kid.
The Muslim.
The academic.
The protester.
The political opponent.
Everybody thinks they're safely standing behind the line.
Nobody notices the line keeps moving.
i STILL don’t understand how so many of you were hoodwinked into believing the government should not use the money you pay in taxes to create a social safety net that benefits you, fund public healthcare, lower housing costs, and make daily life more affordable.
Yes, in fact, I do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonald’s should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That’s kind of the whole point of having a job and I can’t believe this is considered a radical position for me to take.
@rickygervais lost me when he picked on trans folks
(Punching down ❌)
Nevertheless tried one episode of Alley Cats.
Glad to see it’s shite.
Cunt is legit one of my fave words but after the 37th utterance it was grating.
Diane and David the only mildly amusing felines.
Psychology fact:
Suicidal thoughts often come from unbearable emotional pain, not a true desire to die.
When the brain is overwhelmed, it can narrow into tunnel vision, making it feel like there are no other options.
That is why support matters, safety and connection help the mind widen again and find exits you could not see alone.1/2
@PompeySteph@speakoutsister It’s my opinion that the most vocal of critics are so rabid because they didn’t have the balls (no pun intended) to transition themselves. A case of they doth protest too much, if you will. They weren’t brave enough to live their truth so they go after the ones that do.
In 2026, you DO have to make a choice between Harry Potter and trans people. But trans people aren’t forcing you to make that choice! JK Rowling is!
Trans people don’t spend money trying to kill JK Rowling!!! JK Rowling spends money trying to kill trans people!!!
Happy August 4 Gender criticals!
Your regular reminder that from tomorrow a man can walk into a woman's toilet and if challenged say he's a trans man and the BBC news said he should use it!
Careful with that monkey's paw.
@Iam_benny_1 I’ve been using medical cannabis for a couple of years and I wholeheartedly believe cannabis was demonised because it helps you see things clearly, makes you ask questions, consider alternatives. It makes you see clearly the things they don’t want us to ponder.
Half of England is in drought after record-breaking heatwaves, yet most of our media want to talk about the "problem" of refugees whilst giving airtime to absurd & dehumanising policies from Reform UK.
Politicians who scapegoat refugees and migrants have no interest in making your life better.
If they really cared, they would take on corporations holding this country to ransom.
They would end the daylight robbery of privatisation.
And they would tackle the real cause of society's problems: a grotesquely unequal economy that sucks wealth away from the majority to an elite few.
