I've said it before and I'll say it again:

The enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy.

So @Simone_Biles jumping approximately 7-8 feet above the ground (12 feet including her height) means we now know her strength score in #DND

A creature in DND5e has a vertical jump of 3 feet + strength mod. So since she jumped more than 7 feet, that's STR of 20 fam

We will not know the final outcome of the election until the morning of 5 July.
On that morning, I do not want to wake up to more of this…

“Lesser Mortals?” - I would take thousands of Brits who don’t have the luxury not to show up to work but do in spite of their cancer & those who stay home because of it over & above Catherine, Princess of Wales anytime any day. Thousands of British cancer patients suffer long NHS waiting lists, health discrimination, die without treatment, have zero financial/moral/ social support - but Kate Middleton shows up one day epitomising every advantage systemically denied others with cancer & is the ‘tonic Britain needed’? Disrespectfully, piss off. The only lesser mortals here are Allison Pearson & the editor who approved this offensive diatribe to be published.

A lot of you guys are miserable because you don’t do arts and crafts. You should be having arts and crafts time at least once a week

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Every single time the Conservatives come to power they increase the size of NHS waiting lists.

Please don't let them blame it on Covid or anything else; they were doing exactly the same thing in the 90s.

Please RT if you think everyone should be clear on this.

The word “dildo” arose in 16th Century England, and for decades was used as a filler word in songs, much like “la dee dah” is used today. The result is a couple of old English tunes for lute and countertenor that use the word “dildo” extensively, like this one by Thomas Morley.

Some of my favorite brands for inclusive, beautiful, ethically made clothes have been launching their own resale programs, meaning there's even more options to get good quality at more accessible prices. Here's 10. 🧵

Imagine the shock for those cheering & applauding the Prime Minister’s threat to leave the ECHR when they find out it protects

• the right to a fair trial
• freedom of assembly & expression
• the right to participate in free elections
• freedom of religion
• freedom from discrimination
• the right to privacy
• freedom from torture & degrading treatment

suggesting the UK could join Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the human rights convention is just completely insane & any argument we can just leave the ECHR & create our own bill of rights presupposes we can actually trust the government with our human rights in the first place - WE CAN’T

A woman is the cry of a gull on the empty air, the smell of wet dirt when the rain has fallen. A woman tastes like a dream of lemons and metal. A woman is that feeling you get when you’re felling asleep that you should cover your neck with the sheets because something is there.

[Alice R Fraser @aliterative]

Can we all just go back to admitting that nobody knows what a woman is; it’s a beautiful mystery that lands as a glowing comet at full moon, tentacles emerging from the crater like pale slithering vines, too many, too strong & if you don’t start feeding it, it’ll eat your village

British political parties as Doctor Who monsters.... 🧵

Tories = Daleks

Shouty, pimpled Nazi wannabes who will exterminate anything. Have mad plans that obvs won't work - sending refugees to Rwanda / removing the earth's core to pilot it around the cosmos, etc.

[The Lace Witch @ElenaKanagyLoux]

Why are we so comfortable denigrating the creative output of our grandmothers? It may seem insignificant within the context of much more urgent global issues, but in a new piece for Hyperallergic, I argue that it is symptomatic of the systematic devaluation of feminized labor.

[Rituparna Chatterjee @MasalaBai]

Women are choosing to stay single and childfree not bec they hate men or western influence, but they are registering the exhaustion of women around them - colleagues, friends, relatives - and choosing not to raise a husband alongside a baby and do disproportionate labour
