Tech platforms censor words, not meaning. It’s frighteningly insidious. This kind of censorship explicitly empowers bad actors by robbing their critics of the language to criticize.

Euphemisms are often the domain of fascists and predators. It’s a domain that online media wants to gate us inside.

Using Golden Ticket to describe people who have fled war and destitution to legally seek asylum. An internationally recognized legal right that the UK is treaty bound to recognize is pure cruelty and evil. It is the language of Nazis, of deportations, of camps and life unworthy of life. Evil.

This is a bit of a plaintive, feeble plea BUT: since we started selling our stupid mugs six years ago, we haven’t put our prices up once. And obviously all our materials and stuff have gone up and up and up. So, er, if you fancy buying some nonsense from us this Xmas, you’d be big bloody heroes x

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

The ability to constantly challenge who you are, we know, will be abused. Especially if you look, sound or act differently from average. The potential of a Reform Gov with that power from day one is scary.

If Rayner had set out to minimise her tax bill, she could have waited til her son turned 18 before buying the Hove house. She didn't because she wasn't trying to minimise her tax bill.

The folks talking up these pitiful racist protests seem to have a lack of curiosity about what brings counter protesters to give up their hard won time off to show an opposing, more reasonable and simply better response. Who is going to write miles about their legitimate concerns? Not them, chief

A genocide of Palestinians is happening. A genocide of trans ppl is happening. The gov is sending militarized goons to terrorize our communities. Everyone’s stressed the fuck out. We’re all handling it badly as best we can. Our hearts weren’t made to hold this. Let’s give each other more grace.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.
