The question is not “can we be political and be clinical psychologists?”…the question is, “how can you be a clinical psychologist and witness first hand the impact austerity has on societies most vulnerable and not be political?!” #dclinpsy
@andyburnham Is Manchesterism where you allow gentrification to rip through the city completely unchecked, turn a blind eye to property developers tax evasion and push local working class people out of the areas they grew up in?! - signed a northerner who can’t afford to live in her hometown
Good luck to all of the brave saboteurs and monitors going out to protect wildlife from the hunts tomorrow.
And shame on all of the pathetic cowards who will be trying to kill foxes this Boxing Day and for every person watching on.
women long for kindness, morality, and goodness, and are capable of finding that inside a monster because they understand what it’s like to be perceived and valued based only on what you look like
You don’t see neighborhoods like this anymore because most young parents don’t own homes. Less than 5% of mortgage holders are under 30 in major metros, and the average homeowner is over 50.
That’s why most neighborhoods or suburbs feel empty, they’re owned by older people whose kids are grown, while younger families are renting apartments & priced out of the communities.
They put a gay vegan who says he'll abolish landlords in charge and it only took a month to get more members than the oldest political party in the country.
As an elder emo who bought her first MCR ticket for a tenner and is now stuck in a ticketmaster queue waiting to drop an obscene amount of £ on them…we need to talk about ticket inflation 😭 it’s just not affordable for most working-class people to go to gigs anymore!
I don’t think we talk enough about the emotional and physical impact of training. Yes doing a doctorate is obviously “hard”, but the combination of placements and the emotional toll of clinical work, uni assignments, thesis work & being constantly appraised is rough #dclinpsy
So what's the plan here? We just sit and watch Israel starve Gaza to death with the support of our own governments?
And then what? We just go along with our lives, knowing that that happened? That this is what we are as a society? That our civilization is comfortable allowing something like that to happen? And that our rulers could do the same thing to another inconvenient population at any time?
We're just meant to be cool with that? And go on living like it's normal?
I'm genuinely curious. How exactly is everyone planning to go about living their lives after that point? How does that work, exactly?
This government made a political choice to make life harder for the sick and disabled.
Well done to those MPs who had the courage to speak up for the marginalised and put their constituents first.
That is what it means to serve the people.
It's so sad that it's considered radical to say that even disabled people who are unable to work should still have nice things. A coffee every once in a while, a nice dinner, a fun trip. Just because you're unable to contribute to capitalism doesn't mean you should suffer.

The Government’s passing of their benefit cuts agenda shows the deep disdain for Disabled people.
Despite attempts to silence us, through our collective campaigning, we made them drop billions of cuts, and we will continue to resist this disastrous bill.
