#and then voting green anyway

[eros-cestlavie]

as far as i understand it, keir starmer himself hasn't actually got particularly strong opinions about anything trans rights and has waffled around on the fence about it, but there are a core of quite vocal and influential people within the labour party who care a LOT. so its not so much about winning over the public, its keeping people like rosie duffield happy so his own party don't turn on him (which happened to corbyn, and is a big reason the tories have fucked themselves so badly)

we aren't in america, and we're not voting for who will be PM (unless you are in starmer's or sunak's constituency)! look at your local candidates and vote against ones who are transphobic to show the party that it's not a popular view. if those vocal labour members lose their seats, that sends a pretty clear message to starmer and the rest of the party that it's a problem and will lose votes. if your local labour candidate is very positive on trans rights issues, then try to get their voice into government! don't vote against someone who will help us to punish starmer, change the people he has to answer to.

all the snivelling little starmer apologists will always say "umm well he has to be transphobic to win elections" and like 1. well im glad youve decided us trannies can be the sacrifical lamb on our behalf and 2. its just demonstrably not true every piece of polling done on this shows that the uk electorate doesnt care about trans people one way or another because all their fucking groceries cost a billion times as much

obviously take into account tactical voting for your area and do whatever you need to do to kick out the tories, but if you're in a complicated area where there isn't a clear tactical option, this is a thorough way to compare parties' stances on various options and work out what you're most aligned with

i'm only partway through it but occasionally there's an option that seems so cartoonishly evil that i can't believe it's real so i'm guessing that's probably the tories...

it’s really fucked how I, a childless full-time working adult on a fairly average wage cannot afford to buy a house or even an apartment in the city i was born (sydney australia). it’s fucked that a house in sydney today costs around 14 times my annual wage, when in 1995 (one year after I was born) the average house price was around 6 times the median annual wage. it’s fucked how i’d only be able to afford to buy a place if I shared finances with another full-time working adult (which i don’t), and that this is probably going to be a huge issue when I get towards ‘retirement age’ because the government basically doesn’t give a shit about you if you’re not a landlord with a nuclear family

Okay for my dead boy detectives Clue, I am going to be making alternative versions including different side characters since people have expressed interest in a Cat King one and I need to know the combinations that are most wanted so I know which combinations to actually make

Tagging the people who expressed interest in making their own clues so you guys have a chance for input:

It’s Community week! And I combined it with yesterday’s prompt of colour palettes! From left to right we have @finisnihil ‘s Nix Pelagic, @ormacritis ‘s Montague Chamaris and @twigthetoast ‘s Verena Mnesic! They’re the very special guys that have to put up with Niran, something I am sorry for every day.

I miss 2019 when I was actually feeling generally positive about voting labour. obviously the result (nationwide and in my constituency) was awful but at least I could feel pretty good about what my vote was going towards. whereas now I'm voting knowing that labour will certainly win the election and have a good chance at my seat and yet it doesn't really feel good at all :/
