what i adored about billy elliot (2000) is that it resisted the obvious clichéd messaging of “you can be a straight boy and still love ballet” by hinting at potential romance with his female and male friend but billy then rejects both advances, bc he is 11 & this is about ballet

“can I say something about beans on toast?” no. it’s a cheap nutritionally complete meal primarily eaten by children which enables poor families to keep them full and fed. find something else to talk about.

the most annoying part i find about the whole "just get an ac unit!!!" argument is that the uk has been in a cost of living crisis for five years now and energy bills are a significant pressure on most households

It's not a price cap if the price is constantly rising.

Keir Starmer has been a disappointment, but anyone calling him 'Britain's Worst Ever Prime Minister' in a world where Liz Truss & Boris Johnson exist must have been kicked in the head by a horse

The minimum wage is meant to be the lowest wage you can live on and afford housing. So, for everyone saying "it's not meant to be that," yes, it is. That's why it's called the minimum wage.

I don't care what your political Leaning is, If you're out here defending a Politicians right to be paid a £100,000 a year, to get pissed on Subsidised Cocktails before going to Vote against your interests & rights, you are the epitome of a back broken, peasant-brained Serf.

Neurotypicals: Friday feels like a reward.

ADHDers: Friday feels like I survived 5 days of pretending to function, and now I’ve got 48 hours to recover before I have to do it all over again on Monday.

writing an e-mail and getting a prompt from AI "this sentence could be more concise"

The Epic of Gilgamesh is remarkable in that it's a 4,000-year-old text but it gets new content faster than ASOIAF

Israel’s new death penalty law for palestinian prisoners is directly taken from Nazi Germany. this is genocide. this is a holocaust. they are using the EXACT playbook of the nazis. anyone still denying this is mentally unwell.

The horrors persist but so do libraries, books, iced coffee, sunsets, trees, the word ‘fuck’, the moon and the sea.

I feel like a lot of people fail to understand that JKR is not just a bigot

She is an anti-trans ACTIVIST, she is actively using her influence & wealth to strip away rights and protections for trans people.

She's not just passively holding her own views, she is dangerous
