This would not have happened had it not been for America, the UK, the West and "israel" and their genocidal intent and action. THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED OTHERWISE. NEVER FORGET THAT.
"A toddler in northern Gaza has died after bread, made from animal feed, poisoned him to death." from Al Jazeera English, 27/Feb/2024:
#palestine#free palestine#gaza#free gaza#from the river to the sea palestine will be free#i stand with palestine#rafah#save rafah#this is genocide#child death#save the children#palestinian lives matter#PALESTINE AND GAZA ARE BEING STARVED AND ARE DYING FROM TRYING TO SURVIVE. THIS IS GENOCIDE#fuck Israel#fuck america#fuck the uk#israel is an illegal occupation#israel is committing genocide#america is committing genocide

the comedic potential of Simon Riley’s middle name being John is unparalleled
He doesn’t tell anyone at first, but it’s definitely why he calls Soap “Johnny” and Price by his last name or rank only, because it’s weird that two of his teammates have the same name as his middle name
When Gaz finds out, he’s livid. The 141 is 75% John; he can’t fucking get away from them. Price points out that his name is actually Jonathan, thinking he’s being helpful (he’s not) and Johnny thinks it’s the funniest thing in the world
Simon seriously considers a legal name change just to keep the peace; he’s always loved the way John Riley sounds, but the ring in his dresser will make sure he hears that particular combination for the rest of his life
#sorry this got sappy and romantic really quickly#to be fair it always does with me lmao#I just love the 141 being John Squared and Gaz suffering mightily#it becomes a joke with every new member of the 141; ‘is your name John too? no? sorry mate you can’t join only Johns are allowed here’#John was the 4th most popular baby name in Scotland from 1980-1989 and I imagine the rest of the UK was similar#so it’s not totally out of the question#call of duty#cod#simon ghost riley#john soap mactavish#ghoap#ghostsoap#soapghost#john price#kyle gaz garrick#the 141#tombstone's epitaphs#tombstone’s silly hcs

in australia opposing lawyers have to refer to each other as "my friend" in court (or "my learned friend" for barristers) e.g. "my friend is well aware that that is not admissible". so do you guys do that in other jurisdictions or are we winning at having the most yaoiful courtrooms
#i believe other commonwealth jurisdictions also do this?#heard of it being done in canada and possibly the uk?#unsure of other places#rookposting

“What you hold onto is less important than the act of holding on itself. It’s so easy to get lost in ourselves and this world. Sometimes you need to find your way back one tiny miracle at a time.” - The Sunshine Court
WISHING THE HAPPIEST OF BOOK BIRTHDAYS TO @korakos! YOU DID IT AND ITS BLOODY BRILLIANT!
Please please excuse the disgusting things my iPad camera has done to this photo. This is the first time in years I’ve done something like this fully traditional and it has stretched so many rusty parts of my brain but I’m SO GLAD I got this done in time for release day! This book is WONDERFUL and I’m so happy it’s now out in the world!
#jean moreau#the sunshine court#nora sakavic#all for the game#tsc spoilers#like barely but we thought it would be worth tagging to stop people being upset#the sunshine court spoilers#mine#my art#technically this is meant to be released tomorrow but it’s up on Amazon already so YAY! TIME TO CELEBRATE!!#I hate how little justice these photos do to this painting 😭😭😭😭#I’m gonna have to repost this once I’m back in the uk and can get good photos or scan it or something#but I HAD to do something for my boy for this momentous occasion!

Excuse the format (I made this for instagram since that's what the publisher wants, rip) but this is basically a shorter, easy-to-read version of the history section at the back of my new book.
(Part 2 || The book)
---
Disclaimer: I'm extremely not an expert, and this is only scratching the very surface of complex topics that are hard to simplify. I mostly made this to EXTREMELY rec these books and podcasts, and would urge you to go check them out if you're not familiar!!
This stuff might seem obvious to some of you, but let me tell you, I do NOT think it's widely known in the general UK population.
Imo a lot of the general (especially white) public think that the Windrush generation - Caribbean migrants brought in to help rebuild postwar Britain in the 50s - were the first Black communities in the UK. And yet there's deliberately not much focus on why the Caribbean has links with northern europe. HMMMM
(Britain loves, for example, to celebrate the abolition of slavery without mentioning WHAT CAME BEFORE IT - Britain being the biggest trader of enslaved people, with more than 1 million people enslaved in the British Caribbean. They literally just did it overseas.)
Telling the truth about history or British imperialism gets this massive manufactured backlash at the moment. There are so many ideas prevalent in UK politics - anti-Black, anti-refugee, anti-trans - based on going ‘back’ to some imaginary version of the past. Those are enabled by a long tradition of carving parts out of the historical record, and being selective about whose histories get told and preserved. Even though the book I was making is a fun rom-com, by the time I finished researching, I decided to make an illustrated history section at the back too (this is a mini version). My hope is that readers who haven’t come across these histories might get an introduction to them - and some pointers of what they could read next to get a clearer view of our past.
#i feel like it's also gone the other way a bit#where some people imagine a sanitised bridgerton version of historical britain where racism doesnt exist?#trying to speak to BOTH groups#but like. you can't understand british history without the white supremacy inherent in its empire building. that IS british history#can't overstate how impossible it was to read anything about 1800s england without being clobbered round the face with colonialism#anyway uk people pls read at least one imperial history book by someone who's not white AND not entrenched in establishment revisionism#i shall make a tag for this in the hope i do more#hari's history corner

vampirism to me really is about the knowledge that you have the capacity for true awfulness inside you. it's not irrational, it's not baseless, it's not just the over magnified product of an anxious mind, it's a concrete set of memories of what you're like at your worst and a constant just-restrained desire to sate yourself at the cost of everyone and everything around you. it's about looking at all your loved ones and, whether you like it or not, being able to tell exactly how much you could drain from each and every one of them if you ever so chose. it's about having fangs in your mouth and taking painstaking steps to not let them cut someone when they try to kiss you. it's about hearing honest reassurances from friends and wondering if they understand that you can't stop listening to their pulse as they speak. it's about your hunger not being like others' hunger. it's about trying and failing and trying again to find a way to live nonetheless.

Imagine being a citizen of fictional Sweden. The crown prince dies in a car crash. He is succeeded by his younger brother who was recently involved in a fight that went viral. Just a few weeks later, he is involved in a gay sex tape scandal. But then it turns out it wasn't him. But then it turns out it was him, and also the school the royal family have been educated at for generations is super fucked up. And then he says fuck the monarchy, love wins 💜. And he's replaced by some cousin you've barely even heard of.
(And then, possibly, some amateur internet sleuth posts a four hour video detailing how the former crown prince's sex tape was leaked by the current crown prince, causing a constitutional crisis. There is no one to replace the third crown prince you've had in just a few years. You might as well elect a president.)

I'll never understand why the UK needs a monarchy as a symbolic head and non-partisan representative of the state when they have Larry the Cat.
You tell me which of these guys has the power and presence to represent a nation?
#uk politics#also the monarchy can't be non-partisan in times of extreme political polarity without being complicit in fascism#which is like saying the oppression factory is complicit in oppression‚ true#but you couldn't accuse Larry of being complicit in anything. he's a cat.#what's he supposed to do about immigration. he's even neutral about mice#uk elections#downing street#abolish the monarchy#king charles#larry the cat#crack#funny#cats#cattos#knee of huss

Bob Iger saying all this while also being on basically billionaires vacation really should say something, holy shit.
#writers guild of america#screen actors guild american federation of television and radio artists#wga#sag aftra#wga strike#sag aftra strike#i stand with the wga#i stand with the sag aftra#disney wouldn't even be alive nowadays if it won't for the creatives behind it#and yet bob wants to keep refusing to pay them what they deserve#while also giving himself a nice bonus with his contract being extended#same energy as in the UK the MPs wanting double their pay while everyone else suffers

"why are you focusing on hating jk rowling getting money instead of the actual laws being passed?" yeah bro those laws do seem pretty awful and transphobic. i wonder who's lobbying for them?
#m#a mystery for the ages 🤔#surely wildly influential and wealthy people in the uk dont have an effect on the laws being passed#surely jk rowling just exists in a bubble
