A digital illustration of Han Sooyoung from Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint slouched down, holding a quill. She is wearing a long white coat and looking at the viewer. Behind her in a pinker shade of purple are the impressions of dragon horns and a tail. She is surrounded by shocking lines and stars. The piece is bordered twice with thick purple-pink lines. A digital painting of Han Sooyoung from ORV smoking. She is wearing a white jacket and a black shirt with her first few buttons undone. Around her are frames, paintings, featuring other 'versions' of her from the novel. A digital painting of Han Sooyoung from Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint teaching a class. The piece is very purple toned.

Lobbyist / ex Tory MP Ben Howlett has been done by an undercover sting. As ever, the most revealing thing is how very very cheap it is buy access in British media/politics — and especially how Howlett controls one of the biggest UK pol Twitter accounts!

Agree with every word of this

We've gone from 9% of social care staff coming from outside the UK and EEA in 2021/22 to almost 25% in 2024/25

The govt has no near-term replacement

It means either:
1) staffing shortages or
2) councils spending far more to attract staff, with no extra funding

Digital fanart for Omniscient reader's viewpoint. It's a portrait of Anna Croft holding up two stones between her fingers with the bigger stone hiding her eye. Both stones feature red stars at their centers. Her other eye is hidden behind her hair with her demon eye floating at the front. This eye's root wraps around her head, transforming into a barbed wire along the way. Her wrist holding up the stones is showered with blood coming from the top.

No words.
The lives of those living in Gaza are deemed less important than maintaining relations with Israel and, by proxy, the US. At the personal level, on Labour's doorsteps, this approach plays out in the most callous of ways. Dalloul al-Neder is a Palestinian refugee from Gaza, who was a constituent of the former deputy prime minister, Angela Rayner. He got to know her, meeting several times: she visited his takeaway shop in 2019 and posed for pictures, declaring "Palestine must be free". She took him on a tour of parliament. PHOTO: Dalloul al-Neder, who lives in Manchester, with an image of his late mother - he has lost several family members in Gaza bombings. Photograph: Sean Hansford/MEN Media Within weeks of the genocide beginning, in October 2023, his mother, brother, sister-in-law and two young nieces were killed by an Israeli airstrike. Desperate to evacuate his wife and four-month-old daughter - who had been buried under rubble three times by Israeli attacks - he emailed Rayner twice to seek help evacuating his family. He says received no response. In January 2024, he attended a Labour fundraiser in Stockport addressed by Rayner and her colleague, Jonathan Reynolds, and got to his feet, clutching pictures of his dead mother, begging her to support a ceasefire, emotionally declaring "I lost my family in Gaza". The whole tawdry episode is on camera: he was aggressively ejected from the meeting and on to the street. Rayner did nothing, except to say "thank you, you've made your point". She then unfollowed him on social media. Days later, she was interviewed by Sky News' Beth Rigby, who framed the incident as an example of the threats politicians face, linking it to the murder of the MPs Jo Cox and David Amess. Since then, so many of Neder's relatives have been slaughtered by the Israeli state that their names take up three pages of a notebook.

Discworld QOTD, from Guards! Guards!
They avoided one another's faces, for fear of what they might see mirrored there. Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest, and then I'll murmur agreement, not actually say anything, I'm not stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard... No one said anything. The cowards, thought each man.

There’s a great exchange in The Grapes Of Wrath where a farmer who’s been kicked off his land by a bank meets the guy getting paid peanuts to take it over. The guy is mewling like “well somebody was gonna do it if I didn’t!” and Steinbeck has such a beautiful, visceral, disdain for the character

The Prime Minister's X feed currently looks like an advertising platform for Reform's messaging. Distinctly aggressive dog whistles with highly racialised imagery designed to dehumanise and demonise people, and ignores protections guaranteed under international law into the bargain.
Post saying: Keir Starmer Aug 7 I said that if you enter this country on a small boat, you will face detention and return. I meant it. With image of people seemingly being led into a detention site. Screenshot of X post saying: Keir Starmer Aug 19 ... If you smuggle people into this country, you will face arrest, prosecution and a jail sentence. With image of people being led by enforcement officers. X post saying: Keir Starmer Aug 26 ... If you come to this country illegally, you will face detention and return. With collage of arguably highly racialised images of who, it would be assumed, are people being detained. X post saying: Keir Starmer 1h If you're thinking about coming to the UK illegally don't. You will face detention and return. With images of people being detained or removed, questionable based on image

i often wonder about the question, what does writing mean to hsy? and what do stories mean to her? its interesting to compare her starting point to yjh in this regard i think. while yjh has no knowledge of and no interest in stories, hsy knows stories only too well and has become cynical about them

Just beneath the surface of Liverpool Street in Manchester's city center, archaeologists found a 2,000-year-old Roman road near the Roman fort of Mamucium, which was established around A.D. 78.

This is no accident. The groups behind age-verification laws have been explicit that they regard "gender ideology" and nearly any representation of LGBTQ+ existence as pornography

AV is government censorship. Platforms are either designating LGBTQ+ content NSFW or removing it all together.
jwlicinio.bsky.social 🏳️‍⚧️ June Licinio ✡️ @jwlicinio.bsky.social · Jul 25
the UK’s Internet age verification law has led to the effective censorship of all LGBT content on Reddit

what a shocking and unexpected turn of events!
Post on /r/transgenderUK entitled “Reddit now censors LGBTQ+ content under OFCOM’s new ‘Online Safety Act’” post text: “I honestly can't even think of words to describe how vile this is. Here's a screenshot of what I now see when I search "lgbt" with my VPN switched off. Occasionally a banner appears at the top of the screen saying something about needing to verify ID to access "mature content" but the button doesn't even work. The fact that we're now considered "mature content" makes me feel sick.” The screenshot referenced in the previous image, showing the results of a search on Reddit for the term LGBT. No results from LGBT-specific subreddits appear; instead, posts from /r/Conservative, /r/Islam, /r/JustUnsubbed, etc are highlighted.

I've been meaning to write about this for ages, but the excellent @samfr.bsky.social has got there first.

We're talking ourselves into a democratic recession.

And the people who will benefit from that are the populists who want to burn liberal democracy to the ground.

New post just out:

"Britain isn't broken"

We have our problems but the doomerism is getting out of hand.

I look at the real picture on crime, migration, social cohesion and the economy - rather than the dsyoptian fantasies of the radical right.
