#not to mention the cost of living

it always rubs me the wrong way that when people make fun of the british it is more often than not things that poor people and british people of colour do. like making fun of english breakfast for example i understand, it may not look appetising. but that's because it's a poverty struggle meal LMAO 😭 if you wanna make fun of the british then make fun of the racist xenophobic rich white english tories (because remember that great britain also contains countries that are colonised and to this day are negatively affected by the english, namely the entirety of wales)

"british" includes british poc too, and their status as a person of colour doesn't make them.. not british? so if you don't mean to offend marginalised groups then... don't say british people. say tories. say old white english men. say the royal family. please, have the sensibility and sympathy to acknowledge that the youth of britain are not responsible for colonisation or actions of their government and are in fact harmed by it as well.

the hse's advice on covid self-isolation is such dogshit. 'you can come out of isolation after 5 days but don't interact with anyone high risk for 10 days' cool how do i know the person sitting next to me on the bus isn't high risk. the person in line behind me getting groceries, the person i make small talk with in the pharmacy queue. literally eugenics-adjacent advice

one thing I have learned about being poor is that you cannot for a moment stop thinking about it

Just heard about what happened to Inquisitore3 on Tik Tok.

To say that I am disgusted and outraged is an understatement.

I'd say that the three people who were directly involved in spreading false grooming accusations that led a 23 year old to take his own life should be held accountable for their actions, but as you'd expect, all three of them have either deleted or privated their accounts to escape the consequences.

How fucked up do you have to be to deliberately collaborate to ruin someone's life for kicks?

i can't believe my wife is a groupie now.. they just went to their 8th king gizzard and the lizard wizard concert this tour, and got a set list from one of the band members who doesn't usually give out set lists but he recognized them... and they have so many groupie friends now? they drove to this concert with someone who's done ketamine with kesha.

Direct investment in social housing pays for itself through social rents, reduced costs of temporary accommodation, and higher social wellbeing.

There is simply no justification or need for this cost to fall on current social housing tenants by raising their rents.

"A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" being said like that's a bad thing. How beautiful is it that the memories and experiences my body has gone through will be etched into me, even if temporary, even if it isn't "flattering"? Why would I want to be alive if it meant that I am not permitted to live? And why should I avoid myself like I am a sin, like I am a curse, worse than death and pain?

I will envelop myself in layers of care and love, even if it means that I am slightly different. I will continue to do so even if I am alone. I have survived long enough. I will rest now, I will find peace.

“Something’s wrong,” Inosuke says. “Obviously. I’ve never seen him this sick before,” Zenitsu says, lighting a lantern and pulling paper and ink from his bag. Inosuke shakes his head. “I don’t think he’s sick. I think somethings wrong.” -- Tanjirou will do anything for his friends. They need food? He makes some. They need encouragement? He gives it. They need help? He is already there. So what happens when he's the one in need?

In this AU, just the once, everybody lives! Or more accurately: everyone survives, living takes a little learning.

got thoroughly yelled at by my parents (well. mostly my father. as per usual.) Again over a monetary situation and really just barely grasping for any justification to not suck it up and kms already .Only reason im having a panic attack instead of actually doing anything is he was so mad he wouldnt even finish a conversation with me just hung up so I didnt get chewed out half as much as normal but I Know its still coming eventually. no helping it when he gets apocalyptic like this. and I was finally having a slightly better time these past couple days too. whatever karmic law I've offended please just take me now I am not stable enough for any of this. If you want me back in the cycle of reincarnation hurry up and commit Im so deeply over this death by a thousand cuts shit

I find it wild that people are trying to dismiss or minimize this whole dead CEO thing because it was a right wing dude who did it, when regardless of political position, millions of people objectively benefited from his actions. Sure, we can argue legalism and the moralism of killing someone and all, and the ramifications of that given the group he's part of, but it is disconcerting how people have this pernicious political purity to it all. I've seen it on other situations and it's the reason why people dismiss political victories against reactionaries who want to take the world back to fascist conservatorism, it's why every single charity or whatnot gets weirdos questioning intentions despite how transparent they are, heck, it's even the reason why there's so much in-fighting on the left. A bunch of ideologues who would rather the world go to hell if people don't agree fully with them than do any objective good.

im really glad that palestine has not only raised awareness of the ongoing genocide but has brought attention to other ongoing human rights issues and occupations like congo and hawaii (and brought some attention back to ukraine but ive also seen people being weird about it). so now that we're having the conversation about why its bad to attempt to kill entire groups of people, i am begging that you start bringing masking and covid safety back into your politics.

a LOT of people who claim to be "leftist" or "progressive" or "inclusive" or whatever label you wanna use, have fallen into the mindset that disabled, immunocompromised, and otherwise high risk individuals deserve to get left to die. a lot of people are reacting with such shock and horror that the US would funnel so much money and support into a blatant genocide, but that wake up call came so much earlier for the people that were left to "fall by the wayside" by covid. the US has left the most vulnerable to die and is trying to convince you to leave them behind too. not to mention that even the healthiest and fittest person can become disabled by covid. the government is willing to let you and your family die if it means they can squeeze more money out of you. and if you believe that the pandemic is "over" or is no longer a big deal, you have bought into their eugenics, and i am begging you to fight back against it.

a lot of people refuse to mask, or test, or take others into consideration anymore because "i did my part." and they fail to recognize that their "part" is not over, they did the bare minimum and then failed their community. i hope that in a few months you won't be disregarding palestine because you "did your part" by using the tiktok watermelon filters and posting about it for a few months.

if you are pushing super hard for palestine, and any other nation suffering colonialism and genocide, i urge you to wear a mask and fight against the murder happening at home too.
