The way people will just casually dehumanise children is so grim.

The real Lord of the Flies: what happened when six boys were shipwrecked for 15 months When a group of schoolboys were marooned on an island in 1965, it turned out very differently to William Golding’s bestseller, writes Rutger Bregman

As a child, I read LORD OF THE FLIES: never doubting that it reflected actual human nature. Turns out it actually didn't. www.theguardian.com/books/2020/m...

Please help us if you can

It would help if every centrist who says they’d love to abolish ICE or end a genocide or protect trans people or get to universal healthcare but “you have to think about elections” would admit they just don’t want to do any of those things and are quietly fine with fascism if it doesn’t touch them.

Immigrant whose skull was broken in eight places during ICE arrest says beating was unprovoked A Mexican immigrant whose skull was broken during his arrest by immigration officers last month in Minnesota says the beating was unprovoked.

ICE blamed this guy’s eight skull fractures on a brick wall.

They actually beat him with the same metal rod they used to smash car windows.

“There was never a wall.”

Same applies to the way London is portrayed by some elements of the media and certain politicians

sane ppl: pedophile ring.

the guardian: sex and snacks.

This might sound like hyperbole.

It is not.

They took a decision they were warned would cause trans kids to die. Trans kids died. They covered that up and attacked those trying to expose their cover up.

They deserve to go to prison and nobody will ever be held accountable.

It is the UK way.

Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist

"...journalists must not persist in questioning, telephoning, pursuing or photographing individuals once asked to desist, unless justified in the public interest."

Don't worry about that you cunt, I'm fairly certain this counts as in the public interest.

Even I, as someone who eschews electoralism, know he not a decent PM, or person for that matter. The Graun seems to be circling the wagons for him.

I think that this sequence might be the single most pointlessly sadistic government action of my lifetime

Anti-trans bigots lie, all the time, about everything.

Here is a thing:

There were several years when I was one of VERY few journalists seriously covering harassment and abuse issues in comics (and by extension sometimes video games). During that time, I became the Person People Told Things To.

I'm making my usual #BandcampFriday plea: if you love music, consider spending as much today on music at Bandcamp as you do every month on music streaming subs. One $10 sale can make an artist's day-- and put as much money in their pocket as ~5000 or more streams!

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

What I wouldn't give for a system that let me contribute something, anything, when I'm able and just left me the fuck alone the majority of the time when I am not but that would only use my skills to help people not make some cunt rich so nope.

None of my skills went away when I got two shotted by mental illness and long covid, I can still do most of the shit I used to be able to do - I just can't do it reliably enough that anyone will fucking pay me for it. My one good day a month is not maximally exploitable you see.

Will be interesting to see the posture that people take around this today. For my part, I'm glad to see that the white supremacists continue to make it clear how anti-Black and racist they are. It goes to the very top. This is what their weaponization of "woke" was always about.

Starmer: 'None of us knew depth and darkness of Mandelson's relationship with Epstein' Starmer has addressed the fallout from the Epstein scandal during a speech this morning in Hastings, East Sussex. He said that while Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein was publicly known, “none of us knew the depth and darkness” of it. He said: Serious allegations and serious evidence has emerged concerning Mandelson’s conduct, including his relationship with Epstein, a convicted sex offender. It had been publicly known for some time that Mandelson knew Epstein, but none of us knew the depth or the darkness of that relationship. Information that was not known at the time of his appointment [as US ambassador].

HE WAS LITERALLY CALLED "THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS" FOR TWENTY FUCKING YEARS

Thirty deaths in small boat crossing avoidable, inquiry finds Inquiry chair Sir Ross Cranston said

The deaths of migrants are always avoidable and not for the operational/systemic issues raised here. Borders kill, it's as simple as that.

Paid less for being trans, a woman and a trans woman This LGBTQ+ Equal Pay Day, The 19th focuses on the wage gap for trans women, who make 60 cents for every $1 earned by the average American worker.

Since the transphobic dog whistle/air horn of "trans people are an affluent white demographic" is doing the rounds again, remember that it is an absolute crock of shit and you should call it out accordingly. Here's some info on the transgender pay gap in the US:
