Last year, I found an old love letter between the yellowing pages of a second hand book, and asked Bluesky whether you had found similar. I was inundated with responses (see 🧵 below)! My essay has just been published in @slightlyfoxed.bsky.social ! Thank you so much everyone who replied and helped

Back in the real world, governments are rowing back on green measures and fossil fuel corporations are planning expansion

What’s the significance of it being a “migrant”? Wouldn’t accidental release of any sex offender be just as bad?

Regular reminder that we don't have to live like this and we can simply shut the site down here
Just took a deep breath & went to look at X. It's an absolute cesspit of hatred & glee: one huge account after another blaming the Huntingdon attacks on immigration, with total disregard for information, evidence or the safety of those at whom they're pointing. The yearning for violence is palpable.

Just popped over. Genuinely shocked to see how many people I like who are comfortable continuing to use it, as though it’s still just a social network and not a far-right propaganda medium, where every active user, whatever their politics, contributes to its importance and visibility.

Of all the housing charts not made by MMI, this one is my favourite. It shows how, despite rhetoric, housing shortages aren't a global phenomenon, but they do seem to be an Anglo-American one.
