A lot of people will talk about the moral responsibility to stand up to bigoted relatives this holiday season. There's a lot of merit in that, but it ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT APPLY to victims of abuse.
You do not have to confront your abuser. It's not your job.

Even pirating Harry Potter lends the fandom legitimacy and currency.
People, big respected names, took joy in disclosing they were playing the game, to taunt trans people.
Don't be that person. Ignore it. Watch a better show, read a book that doesn't help fuel trans genocide.

I remember chatting to my dad about Corbyn, and he said that I shouldn't believe everything I hear from progressives, that politicians don't deliver what they promise. And I said that if they all don't deliver what they promise why shouldn't I vote for the guy who's at least lying in my direction
The important thing to remember about smug patronising headlines like this is that they aren't aimed at the "kids" they're theoretically addressing. They're aimed at their parents. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...
Sorry kids, Greens’ fantasy politics don’t add up
Now Zack Polanski’s party is polling level with Labour it’s time to subject his platform to the scrutiny given to the grown-ups

Sometimes when you go listen to music that was popular in your youth, you rediscover things you loved or learn about something you would have enjoyed if you didn't grow up deeply evangelical
Other times you discover that a band you thought you liked has the most fedora coded lyrics of all time 😬

Recruitment for non profit programs right now is exhausting. We're being told we have to meet number goals that absolutely do not reflect the nation's slide into fascism and economic crisis. People can barely buy groceries and they're scared to leave the house, but that doesn't matter bc KPIs

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.
They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.
They’re refusing.
Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.
