Something i would like folks to understand about the police raid on Westminster Quaker Meeting House. The right wingers thinking its a slam dunk to correct folks about it 'not being a meeting for worship, it was a room hire'
They are wrong, and its ignorance of Quakers, their history and praxis.

I think it would have surprised even the most pessimistic if you'd told people during the 2024 campaign that a year into Government Starmer's team would be negatively briefing against the ECHR and Council of Europe for daring to question their assault on trans rights

Estonia has a fully online digital parliament so they need the ID to vote, online, you know that thing we dont have. They dont get huge expenses, second homes and first class travel, Kier. Lets get you some of that e-parliament and we'll talk about ID.

I mean i know Nigel isnt a big one for turning up to work, but ykwim

Turning up to Parliament, sitting in the same room as Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch and thinking "These Greens are a problem" is wild to me.

That the labour party see anything Zach Polanski is doing as a "threat" rather than the ideal ally in a desperately difficult time for the UK is pretty much everything wrong with them. Labour dropped* the torch of representing the people, Greens picked it up.
*threw away/sold/etc

When I said we weren't here to be disappointed with Labour but to replace them. I meant it.

Themperor Palpatine @mxthemfatale.bsky.social · 9h

I googled his name and 'crowdfunder' earlier and yikes, is that grift flowing for him.
He must be clocking about quarter a mil in dark money via about 4 different sites. The give send go was my fav, he wants 3k to get a private investigator to do his stalking for him.

Shabana got to go on to get her academic career after failing the Grammar school test, after all, so maybe just let people come here to work if they want to, and let their employer worry about if they are suitable? Language skills are acquired best in situ.

Watching the people attacking hotels they assume house those seeking asylum, i very much doubt many of them could pass A Level Eng Lang but they all seem to have money for stella, cocaine and kebabs. So maybe being academically good at English isnt needed.

Shabana Mahmood failed her 11 Plus. Maybe she should be a little more forgiving of needless trivial unrelated benchmarks to success at something.

Apart from 1 in Wales and 1 in Sheffield, the only actual confirmed dates are in the South of England. So its not really beating the London-centric rap thus far.

I did something really clumsy in group physio yesterday and everyone laughed at me. I laughed at me too, it was slapstick daftness. So its not being mocked that is my issue. I can see why that was funny AND i was the the butt of the joke. No-one was mean, but it was funny.
So maybe its just nazis.

Themperor Palpatine @mxthemfatale.bsky.social · 1d

That said, i get told i cant take a joke, but then my partner is hilarious, my bestie makes me laugh aloud every time we see each other. I know they aren't indulging me when i make jokes.
So maybe its just that fascists cant do jokes.

I am perfectly happy to accept the label of "cant take a joke".
I'd rather be a humourless dullard than a cruel bully who needs to torment others and contribute to their marginalisation.

Themperor Palpatine @mxthemfatale.bsky.social · 1d

No-one can ever explain to my neurodiverse arse why these 'jokes' funny.
I say this a lot, i know, but comedy and jokes have structures and patterns.
Think of anything that is a joke that makes you laugh, you can say why its funny. The timing, absurdity, a pun etc
Its never jokes, its dehumanising.

Aparna Nair @disabilitystor1.bsky.social · 1d

There is no "joking" way to say Nazi shit.
They say it because they mean it.
And we should stop letting them pretend its "just a joke"

Gosh, they've blocked me.
You are a participation trophy coddled child, and yet they have to block everyone laughing at them for being factually wrong and doubling down. Liberals, eh.
