You love a quiz so I thought I'd do a BISH Relationships Quiz. It's daft but might also help you to think about how you do love and relationships.

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

Young people don’t get a discount on their rent or food bills. So why are they paid less?
700,000 18-20 year olds could be missing out on an average of £2,400 a year on average because they're not covered by the main minimum wage.

A fair living wage should be given to all regardless of age - Lorna Slater

Back playing with this demon of a man, and his most recent attempt at breaking a board game was via Quacks of Quedlinburg. Where, when playing with recipe card set one, he just bought Crow Skulls, and was then able to literally place every non-white chip he had followed by exactly seven white chips.
Just played a chaotic five player game of Ticket to Ride with a guy who decided the mathematically best way to play the game was to ignore his cards and just get all of the 6 train sections, and I hate that he almost won. I was 14 points ahead of him, but he was 26 points ahead of the next player.

Just wanted to say: Have been reading versions of this a lot.
If you've survived an abuse situation, you understand the *point* is that he insults her AND that nobody speaks up. Of course nobody does. The entire presentation is the propaganda. It's about the witnesses' compliance and complicity.

It has never been more important for our institutions to stand together unequivocally with the trans community.

Nor do we believe making life more difficult for those in need is the way to unify British society.

This *has* to be a bit, from the pol prof, no?
What you are witnessing here is an educated professor of political science refusing to countenance the notion that a political party dominated by right-wingers who use right-wing rhetoric and pursue right-wing policies might be doing so because they are right-wing and desire right-wing ends.

Alan Cumming: ‘After my rant about trans rights, I was worried I would be deported’
www.the-independent.com/arts-enterta...
"It’s happening, it’s here, it’s now. There is authoritarianism in America and I’m terrified"
www.the-independent.com/arts-enterta...
"It’s happening, it’s here, it’s now. There is authoritarianism in America and I’m terrified"
![In July, Cumming guest-hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and in his opening monologue, he tells me, he “did a big rant about trans rights... People around me were like, ’You’re going to be deported.’” He worried about it the next time he left the country. Cumming has been a US citizen since 2008, and notes how frightened people are at the moment. “They’re scared for their physical safety. They’re scared when they go to the airport that they’re going to be held... I mean, those are real fears and I feel them too. But luckily, I have another home, I have another passport, another country, and another life there.”
That safe haven, Cumming believes, is also under threat, and we should be “standing up to the rhetoric of Farage, and reminding people that this refugee problem is the way it is because we don’t have a deal with Europe, because he brought us out”. He thinks we should also be “asking our government to stop trying to pander to the sort of moral lack that Farage represents”. He elaborates: “I’ve always thought this about Keir Starmer, [that] he just needs to be more of a leader, stop just trying not to get caught out all the time. It’s terrible the way that all these flags are now appearing behind him... just trying to sort of ape the aesthetics and messaging of Reform. Don’t do that. Have some f***ing balls and say that you stand up for decency, and you have a moral core that means you’re not going to let the most marginalised people in society be trampled on yet again.”
He recalls a point that he made on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg before the election – “I said, Labour is just kind of Conservative-lite now, but [since then] it’s becoming sort of Reform lemonade](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7mjbn64fshkrr6fr5uzeqzrs/bafkreic5goqjrhmqqq5nnwwp7co4edpulyaavscpnyrlyn7isk5t6k6sce@jpeg)
