One of the many perks of working at one of the best magazines in the world 😉 (@ftmag) is that when you leave they make you something you’ll want to keep forever ❤️

The Onion has had it lmao

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

the availability of cheap clothes made with questionable labor standards has made ppl lose touch with what clothes should cost given the work required, the cost of materials, and fair wages

1/8 It’s Children in Need season. I always feel like an absolute grinch critiquing it because it’s so beloved and obviously raises much needed cash. But my ick outweighs my discomfort at being impolite so here we go (a thread)

@sharkdinoshark whaaat

[Lakyn Thee Stylist @OgLakyn]

No, it's really so funny, you can write entire threads about how fast fashion literally exploits the labor of millions and is both indirectly and directly responsible for the deaths of thousands and the replies will be like "why do you hate poor people?"

5th day without power thanks to
@BritishGas - another engineer not turned up, no urgency at all in trying to help even though they know we have a baby. Not sure what to do 😭

at a time when the average person is struggling to afford to LIVE - so much so that they name a crisis after it - every single one of these changes is focused on making the rich richer.

not even subtly but blatantly and stupidly in our faces. they fear nothing.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

3/8 This is the working of a political and economic class which sets the terms of debate to be advantageous to their own position and power.

They give themselves freedom to propagate their own beliefs as though it were public opinion, while gagging those who dissent.

[agent ndn @TheAgentNDN]

People are like "the queen isn't responsible for all those atrocities, she just supported them in a highly public, highly symbolic, ceremonial capacity that manufactured popular consent for all those atrocities - totally different."
