This is unlikely to help - but I do find it hard to be dishonest.

The best Christmas film is the BBC's "The World Of Peter Rabbit & Friends - The Tailor of Gloucester".
Muppets Christmas Carol: very good.
Tailor of Gloucester: even better.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Yeah, yeah. I know. America is important. But I'm so fucking sick of it absolutely dominating the UK news cycle. I get it. You voted in a turd and now you're swimming in fascist shit. But we have our own rightwing wanklord problems that need more national coverage.

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...
How to be a man
The right story narrative about male attractiveness is grounded in Social Darwinism and free market economics. Can progressives tell a better story?

🧵 Second quarter FEC reports were released last week!
We have the most money in this race, an average donation of $32, and likely more in-District donors than the rest of the field combined.
Here’s what's in those reports, why we're celebrating, and why we can't let up in our voter outreach:

Walking past a quiet local beach, a teacher was sat with a small crowd of very tiny people. She was explaining how a day at the beach worked.
"Now remember to put your socks *in* your shoes"
"Last year, a seagull stole someone's sock"
Many tiny faces, aghast!

So. At the bottom of my road, there's a beautiful beach.
Summer is beginning, sometimes it's warm now.
At the top, by the steps, someone has written in chalk "I CAME TO YOUR ENDZ and noone knew you". /1
