This is your regular reminder: patriarchy is not men. Patriarchy is a system of oppressions that privileges male dominance and some women benefit from it.
Feminism is not women or anything a woman does just because she's a woman. Feminism is the destruction of patriarchy.
Feminism is liberation.

Here's a thing to watch out for:
Bought a rubbish car from an unscrupulous dealer with my Jaja credit card. Dealer said it was fine, mechanic said it wasn't safe to drive.

Being disabled does not make someone “a victim”, Nigel Farage. Having state support to go to school does not make someone “a victim” either.
These kind of remarks are in many ways why I wrote Who Wants Normal? Disabled young people deserve more than this vile narrative.

![Asked at this press conference about the rising number of children diagnosed with Send, and what could be done to help them, Farage replied:
It’s a massive problem. I have to say, for my own money, when you get to 18 and you put somebody on a disability register, unemployed, with a high level of benefits, you’re telling people aged 18 that they’re that they’re victims. And if you are told you’re a victim, and you think you’re a victim, you are likely to stay [a victim].
So many of these diagnoses, for Send before 18, for disability register after 18 – so many of these have been conducted on Zoom, with the family GP.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dckjoluraublavhlr4a2lirv/bafkreigfvddmol7sp6pnixnej3bwyj6gp5upnhxhdcqj6ubgbs6iqelmya@jpeg)

Farage talking arrant and nasty shit here. You can't get an autism/SEND diagnosis from a GP. People are having to wait years for one. This is just Trump/Kennedy stuff, with a flavour of Badenoch & the right wing UK media

so I do absolutely, entirely agree with this but it also does feel like the logical endpoint of treating university as "a thing you have to do for three years otherwise you won't get a job" - if you're not making a case for why a uni education is useful, don't expect people to actually respect it
I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel
Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

What a stunning clip!
Kraftwerk—or should I say Neu—in their short lived 1971 formation with Florian Schneider, Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger just bashing away on those drums.
Recorded in a studio in Cologne, hence the song title (Köln II), for the youth program"Okidoki."

A certain 'end of football trophy drought' celebration has scuppered our plans to revisit our wedding venue, so we're celebrating a year of married bliss by going to the scene of our first date for a meal - which was several months after we met and was aided by 'eat out to help out'.

Watched Adolescence. It is good and brilliantly acted. I don't think that the 1 shot thing helped the overall story, though. It's obviously very clever and meticulously planned and added extra tension to the first 2 episodes but meant that the resolution was awkward and convoluted.
Still good tho
