I cannot stress this enough, and I am tired of saying it: British white people, everything you are seeing in the US is coming here and you cannot watch Eurovision or Great British Bakeoff or sign petitions and think you can stiff-upper-lip or ignore your way out of this.

Learn to be UNCOMFORTABLE.

John Leguizamo hit SO many points with his character as well, struggles in his community that he witnessed and put in to the role (the skintone issues!) and he still full embraces his work and how hard he tried to represent.

I see you, I hear you, I witness. Solidarity in MN stoic...but also solidarity in community. Make your ask. Let us carry you a little.

A year and a bit into her 3D animation degree and their skill surpasses mine, they have so many insights and see and know things I've never seen/tried before.

And I couldn't be prouder. My offspring should go past me by a country mile and keep going <3

Currently rather enjoying Trese on Netflix - mostly due to admiring a lot of the animation design tricks I'm seeing. Filipino anime has some great chops.

Sending it to Offspring and maybe we can riff together on what we both pick up, which is one of my favourite past-times atm.

I'm not trying to be a dick.

But they picked two fat republicans for a bunch of jokes when the young republicans said the worst shit imaginable.

My fat ass is out there fighting for what's right.

Stop equating fat with bad or less. Stop telling ME I'm one annoyance away from being your target.

All I can add to the “we reject universal masking” discourse is that it’s not about masks. You aren’t rejecting universal masking, which never happened; you’re rejecting having to think about wearing a mask, and maybe feeling badly about thinking about masks. Can’t help you there.

When Ngo was in Glasgow, the left largely failed to oppose him while the queer community did show up - because he was attending a KJK anti trans rally. Some self-described socialists even rallied with him.

Shaetlan has finally been recognised as a language in its own right.
The recognition comes after the local language was given its own ISO code by SIL Global, the organisation that handles the international Ethnologue database has been tasked with the handling of international language ISO codes.

I'm leaning more towards thinking republicans have always used slurs among themselves behind closed doors & it may not be some modern emergence of bigotry among them, just nowadays they can get a group chat leaked.

Yeah sure. I don't make friends with people in racist chats who don't see me as even human. You centrists will be our downfall.

No.

Our mask requirement is not "virtue signalling".

It's protecting a) the cancer patient and b) the child who is still too small to wear a mask.

And also--and I can't emphasize this strongly enough--you.

They'd do that anyway. We have to stop worrying about what the fascists say. They're FASCISTS. Who cares about their opinions and handwringing?

and has failed."

The Fox Brides of Hookland folklore are more than a placing the witch as a transforming thing, as shapeshifting seductress. They are a powerful linking of her power to woods and wild places; they are a fear-telling of ferality, her place outside society’s rigid structures. – #EmilyCBanting #WitchSky

I once gave a few British friends a "Life in the UK" test as I was required to do for British citizenship.

Not one of them passed.

I will bet my bike that close to zero of the British racists that this law is pandering to could pass A-level English.

Migrants will be required to pass A Level standard of English

Migrants will be required to pass tough new English language requirements under a law introduced in Parliament today.

Seeing this coming home with my kids would have put another "confrontational parent" tick against my name with a quickness and I regret nothing.

I know. I see you, I hear you, I witness. It isn't fair how the world moves when I can't keep up.

You are important, and can put yourself ahead of your responsibilities so you can perform those responsibilities. This is a difficult lesson to learn, and I am still a student.

Trying to give myself grace, but man it's a pita to have my paints, sketchbook, everything finally right here, and I'm so wiped on antibiotics I don't have the energy to paint a thing.

Meh. Whinge. And so on.

Hau, I witness. Sounds like you need hospital now if you can't get pain/swelling under control. Save yourself first if you can. And if you have to give a mutual aid shoutout, do that.
