It's quite frustrating that loads of people who I generally agree with are shrugging at this saying other countries don't have juries and it's like, yes, they don't, but they do have other safeguards that we *don't* have (like, for example, allowing judges a lot more freedom to set token sentences)

I blame the yanks

One of the best things you can learn to say is "I don't know" or "I haven't tried it." Remain curious and open and make sure your opinions are *yours.*

That's really hard to do in a world designed to tell you how to feel about everything, but goddamn is it crucial to like... being a person.

As someone who's grown up Irish in London, the idea of trial without jury given the states historic view and behaviour towards us (as well as every other minority) is honestly terrifying.

And it's that framework that will outlast any given scientific claim as we learn more about the world, so it's vital that students understand how science establishes and undoes its orthodoxies in practical ways, rather than being taught a fragile façade that will crumble once they leave school.

Science is, if done right, always changing, growing and self-correcting, but it does so in its context as a human endeavour to understand the world better. It can't be reduced to a list of atomic facts independent of history, it grows out of an evolving intellectual framework.

Those look really nice! We specialised heavily on pies, but sausage rolls are also great. Southland loves a cheese roll as well www.mainland.co.nz/recipe/south...

New Zealand Bluesky was just popping off yesterday about how much we love the little meat pastries we inherited from Britain haha

The reality is, there are sometimes areas and communities that simply are not ripe for organizing, or at least organizing around liberatory values.

Sometimes they're just too hate pickled.

Sometimes they just haven't lost enough, yet.

Sometimes they've recently been burned by organizing.
