CROYDON COMMENTARY: Households in the south of the borough are about to see their water supplier taken over by the same firm responsible for providing contaminated drinking water in Devon.

I've heard a lot of different takes on this, and I can't figure out if I'm way out of the ordinary here. I'm defining grinding as putting 20 or more consecutive actions into the same input for the purpose of gaining a mechanical payoff (spending all your actions following a plot line doesn't count). I also don't count doing opportunity cards as interrupting a grind.

There is no other/nuance/bald option intentionally: pick your best fit. Yeah, in practice people do many things that don't fit these neat boxes, but I'd love a sense of how highly FLumblr prioritizes mechanical progression.

half-joking estival concept: a master-centric tournament in order to FINALLY decide once-and-for-all who gets the domain of dreams. spices and wines accidentally run together and bicker like an old married couple. mirrors formally enters the contest but suspiciously never actually shows up (with special tie-ins if you're a nemesis PC, of course). iron arrives as a surprise competitor solely because it's living up to candles' legacy or something. at the end mr treats somehow wins it all and literally nobody is happy about this but it's a legally-binding contract with the fingerkings so they can't go back on it now. permanent estival rewards include spwines couples counseling carousel and the ability to listen in on mr fires' petty coworker gossip for twelve hours straight

Alright, serious post for once-

You guys know I like to joke around on here and not really take anything seriously, but this is a serious issue. If you have nothing constructive or supportive to say, please don't say anything at all.

With the recent election in America, transgender people like myself and my friends and thousands of people across the country will not be treated as equals. We'll be losing our rights to gender affirming care and losing our rights to many other things. Schools will not be allowed to educate their students about how everyone should be treated as equal, which can lead to more hate and ignorance down the line.

We are constantly fighting to be treated as equals by parents, relatives, companies, plain old bigoted people, and many other assorted scenarios in which we are treated as second-class citizens out of pure hate or transphobia.

Over a thousand trans teenagers killed themselves yesterday due to the results of the elections, and thousands of others had suicidal ideations or had to call for help.

With all the hate and confusion going on, it's more important than ever to stick together and get through this. I'm not pushing beliefs on everyone, but please just support those around you. We don't need any more death or violence.

If you got this far, thank you. You're doing great and we can get through this together. If anyone is having problems that they need help with, just put an ask my inbox and I'll help you.

I love you all.

Violent anti-Muslim crowd clashed with UK police in Southport after young girls killed

A large crowd of anti-Muslim protesters clashed with police in the northern English town of Southport, where three girls were stabbed to death and five other children were seriously injured in an attack at a Taylor Swift-themed event a day earlier.

A horrific stabbing incident in Southport on Monday shocked the British people. However, police claimed it was not terrorism-related and that the suspect was born in the UK.

Nevertheless, national-oriented groups fuelled rumours that the suspected teenager was linked to Islam, and police reported that Tuesday’s violence erupted when several hundred people began throwing objects at the mosque. Police has linked the crowd to the English Defence League, a group that sometimes stages violent demonstrations against Islam.

Police cars were damaged and set on fire, officers were attacked with bricks and large rubbish containers. Away from the violence, hundreds of people gathered for an emotional vigil to pay tribute to those killed in the attack by laying flowers and toys. Earlier, Prime Minister Keir Starmer also made a visit to the town to lay flowers.

“The people of Southport are reeling after the horror inflicted on them yesterday. They deserve our support and our respect. Those who have hijacked the vigil for the victims with violence and thuggery have insulted the community as it grieves. They will feel the full force of the law.”

However, after the visit, disgruntled residents approached him with insults and condemnations after which he was forced to leave the town.

Stabbing details

A 17-year-old is currently in custody on suspicion of murder and attempted murder following a bloody rampage at a “Taylor Swift yoga and dance workshop,” a summer holiday for children aged 6 to 11. Besides the three deaths, eight children were stabbed.

Five of them and two adults who were trying to protect them remain in critical condition. Assistant Chief Constable Alex Goss stated:

There has been much speculation and hypothesis around the status of a 17-year-old male who is currently in police custody and some individuals are using this to bring violence and disorder to our streets. We have already said that the person arrested was born in the UK and speculation helps nobody at this time.

The Liverpool Region Mosque Network said a minority of people had tried to use the Southport stabbing to spread hate.

“This evening we have seen distressing scenes outside Southport Mosque with angry protesters gathering outside. This is causing further fear and anxiety within our communities.”

King Charles and his family expressed their horror. US singer Swift also wrote on Instagram that she was “just completely in shock.”

These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.

Yes, they also attacked an Asian woman, because right-wingers are fascists (which is not a discovery, but they deny it), anti-immigration propaganda is simply dangerous…
