After wrapping on sprites I was commissioned to do a cover art for Amaranth Eve I finished up recently
So this is the game I've been making! Progress on my end is still somewhat slow but the art Roxy's done for it has been very much appreciated

Juries are not perfect.
Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials.
But the merit of juries is not so much the power they have, but the power they prevent others from having.
They mean a judge cannot just nod-along with prosecution evidence and give a guilty verdict.

If Graham Linehan is a "credible witness" as he tries to paint a teenage trans girl as a middle aged man and has "not committed harassment" as he spent months hurling extreme slurs and insults at her then I have no idea what "credible" and "harassment" are meant to mean in our court system.

I just fucking despise that those in power think abusing children is acceptable - a good thing, even - as long as it's done to trans kids

ok well I'm sure this misgendering was unintentional. It's not like her handle is "trannydyke" or that she's got her pronouns in her bio or anything

“If Labour don’t do this, we’ll get a Reform government”
Trans people, disabled people, migrants, people of colour and people seeking asylum already have a Reform government.
You just want to feel superior to those who like the idea of Nigel Farage as PM.

my religion is that i'd like to believe when you die you have to actually Hear Yourself and then the damned will crawl into Hell of their own free will
Govt minister Alex Norris is asked if the govt will take jewellery from people [fleeing war and persecution]. Norris says the govt won't be taking peoples wedding rings but they will seize assets.

Even with my bedrock low opinion of Labour, I was clinging to some shred of hope that even they would realise that stealing the last remaining possessions of people who have fled for their lives was a disgusting policy. Turns out there isn't a bottom to this particular barrel they are scraping.
For fairly obvious reasons when people flee their countries of origin to seek asylum elsewhere they can't carry much. Often things like jewellery are all they have to hold onto. This isn't just stripping people of "assets", it is stealing their memories. 57/

Controversial opinion but maybe allowing people to work in order to pay for an asylum claim?
(it wouldn't seem as punitive, I know. This isn't about financing the asylum scheme, it's about being seen as tough on asylum. Blech)

OMG what the hell.
This is just cruel
Jewelry often has a value beyond the practical, it's often a reminder of loved ones.
Could this timeline be a little less reminiscent of 1930ies Germany?

The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

It's been obvious for a while - especially since April - that you're not "splitting the left wing vote" by not voting Labour, but at this point I can't even imagine how stupid and ignorant you have to be to still cling on to that idea

27/ Tom Cross then criticised “the so-called trans-inclusive services.” He says that all such services would amount to direct discrimination against cis people of one sex. For example, trans-inclusive female toilets would be directly discriminatory towards cis men.
