Recoverist Curators at the Whitworth, Manchester today. Something on one of the panels struck me, hard. I don't consider myself to be an #alcoholic, but I chose at 18 to give up alcohol for my sanity and health. 1/3

On the train to Leeds to see Swans, with I Am a Tower on the headphones, chuckling away at the funniest book I've read in years, @alisonbechdel.bsky.social 's Spent. One of the finest #comics creators ever to have come out of North America. <3

Your reminder that Hinsliff works for the Guardian, which spent months screaming "anti-semite" at opponents of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

@paulabarkermp.bsky.social has disabled replies and quote posts on this, because, quite rightly, she's been getting pelters for her pathetic attempt to blame anything other than the hate campaign her party is a huge part of for the violence that killed #BriannaGhey

Your reminder that @socworkscot.bsky.social supported a vile policy that was at the time obviously a breach of #ECHR and which at the time of SWS's tweet had already been found by the Supreme Court to be so (on art.8 grounds, no less - see [2016] UKSC 51).

Presumably the #headline switch between the printed version and the online version was because the #Guardian realised that the print version was open to "and that's why Starmer wants to bring it in". So remove a serious headline, replace it with a party-political one. #Labour #authoritarianism
