Should have just whacked a sticker over the old logo like SWR and saved a few quid

Also in the US maternity leave is non-existent so even those who are able to breast feed generally aren't able to. It's all about keeping women in the home, as ever.

Teeline shorthand.

THANKS MARK RYLANCE

We had our pay award confirmed today. And whilst every little helps, after tax, student loans, etc it seems I'm getting an extra £17 a month.

I think my train fares this year went up by more than that a *week*...

Also if anyone could let me know where to get these overdiagnoses that would be fab as it cost me several grand to get the ADHD stuff sorted privately.

Crazy idea but maybe we could spend money on support services for people with mental health diagnoses (and neurodivergencies, which this article seems to conflate) rather than demonising them.

once again

I feel a bit better about allegedly being 56 at 37, now.

“They’ve been so respectful and so understanding of the decision, but profoundly sad,” she said. “I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.”

I am too tired to get into the intricacies of trustee liability under charity law, but this completely broke my heart

I think I've taken more ridiculous stuff than that on the bus tbqh

Quite right too!

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:

His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

Ok but was he?

Oh boy have I got some news for you regarding what Jesus thought about rich people hoarding wealth

Majority say international students bring significant economic benefits, study finds | King's College London Only one in 10 disagree with this view

🎓 With news that a tax on tuition fees from international students is set to be included in Wednesday's Budget, it's worth revisiting our study from last year which looked at public attitudes towards these students 🧵 ⬇️

Good morning, while everyone is waiting for the budget to be announced it’s a good time to say that immigration is a source of prosperity for the UK and painting Britain as a hostile state is sabotaging the country. Thanks!

Donna Noble and the Doctor ask one another “Oh my God. Have you got any money?” “Er no. Haven’t you?”

Budget day at last.

Okay, fairly obvious, but, despite delusions of some, the UK is not a "main destination" for migration. It's actually a competitive market, jobs, students etc. Between Mahmood's, effectively xenophobic policies, and Reeve's budget targeting international students, the economy as a whole gets screwed
