So beautiful. So satisfying. So painful on my weak hands

British arms exports to Israel have reached record highs during the genocide. These arms exports are illegal under British and international law and constitute war crimes. Such arms exports make Israel’s genocide possible.

The Green party has had a tremendous surge, but as one of the smaller parties it's still not really considered a mainstream option. Plus they don't use the repulsive but effective tactics of the rightwing parties of scapegoating random communities and offering to get rid of them, so it's tricky.

The main headlines are that a lot of centre right voters who lost trust in the last Tory govt have been pushed to Reform UK with the help of the general media using asylum seekers and trans people as scapegoats for the country's problems. And there's a gap in the left now where labour used to be-

On the smaller parties: further to the left you have the Green party (yay) who are mainly known for championing environmental policy change but have a wide liberal equality mandate. Further right you have Reform UK- the "ban pride parades, remove books on trans people, kick out immigrants" party

Traditionally you have the Conservatives (tories) centre right and Labour centre left- those have both shifted further right recently but generally those are our Republican/Democrat equivalent. Lib Dems are the liberalism party, they were doing okay until we had a lib dem/tory coalition-

I will not blame Jewish communities for being afraid. I'm furious anyone has to feel that way because of their faith. But I won't let Labour Hitler paint anti-genocide protest as threatening to Jewish people. And I hope to fuck my Jewish friends and neighbours are smart enough to know the difference

I don't think the government are that stupid. So I'm left imagining them plotting in a dark room going, "well if we make the free Gaza people look antisemitic and the Jewish people look anti Palestine, they'll be too busy fighting each other to notice we've taken their right to protest away! Muaha"

As depressed and sceptical as I am about our current government, I managed to be surprised that our Kier Leader is using the Jewish community as cover for giving the police MORE anti protest powers.
Ignorant? Or deliberately trying to make Jewish people and pro Palestine protesters warring groups?

You can protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and unequivocally condemn the antisemitic terror attack in Manchester.

Don’t let politicians or the media tell you that you can’t do both.

I am gonna stream tonight to celebrate the start of spoopy season!

My mum still remembers coming to check on me as a kid because I was crying so hard and me telling her SOMETHING REALLY SAD HAPPENED IN MY BOOK ;~;

Nah. Actors are well unionised. Every industry ought to follow suit if they aren't already

Yeah there's a bit of stormtrooper aim going on, that bothers me in a lot of stuff tbh
The 'obviously a guy in a suit' moments I actually love. Retro vibes. I way prefer that, and otherwise seeing it in fleeting glances than tons of CG

I say yes, for sure

100% agree on the ending

My fav new alien critter

I'll be honest, I played it on the easy mode where you can't die because it was already too scary (and I really enjoyed being able to see the enemies up close because the designs were so cool). Just one that sticks with you emotionally :D

Are you okay?

What a good conversation thank u

Big SOMA vibes, I love that kind of existential sci fi 🦆

Earth is very good. Shame it's infested with these weird little guys that keep knocking down the trees
