Queer lefty socialist. Far too much Elder Scrolls fanfic is my doing. Arsenal Women FC are the nearest thing I have to a religion.

When a US YouTuber reacts to a question about if they support Trump or not with not only refusing to answer the question but with anger and outrage at even being asked...

There's your answer right there.

:( All I wanted for Christmas was Bukayo Saka healthy.
😭
Bukayo Saka Premier League rank for Arsenal:

🥈 5 - Goals
🥇 10 - Assists
🥇 46 - Shots
🥇 42 - Key passes
🥇 19 - Big chances created
🥇 33 - Dribbles
🥇 6 - POTM Awards
🥇 7.79 - WS Rating

Saka will miss ‘many weeks’ due to a hamstring injury, according to Mikel Arteta. 😩

Advice to anyone who wants to be seen as a moral arbiter. If child abuse claims regarding an employee of yours are brought to you, ACT ON THEM. It's not exactly a great leap of moral thought to conclude that grown men trying to have sex with kids is bad, is it?

I work in a team of five. Boss is cool, worked with him for years. Colleague 2 is entertaining enough to be worth the hassle. 3 is a fellow NDer and great. And then there's Number Four.

Oh my god, number four is irritating. I will celebrate the day he leaves this organisation, stg.

Do Quakers celebrate Christmas? It depends which Quaker you ask, of course, but here's a blog post I wrote about some reasons why, even though we traditionally don't keep the liturgical year, we might choose to. brigidfoxandbuddha.wordpress.com/2016/12/12/f...
Five Reasons Quakers Can Celebrate Christmas
In Quaker faith & practice, passage 27.42 says: A… testimony held by early Friends was that against the keeping of ‘times and seasons’. We might understand this as part of the conviction …

I am all for this action.

I'd also suggest emailing the same to dhsc.publicenquiries@dhsc.gov.uk *at a different time* ie not as a part of the blockade. Please use your own words if you can.
TODAY: phone & email blockade organised by the dyke project on wes streeting between 12pm and 5pm. everyone should be able to find some time today to send an email or make some phone calls. mass involvement is key

Oddly enough, “stop running down the public services in which they work and stop hateful misinformation campaigns against them just for doing their jobs” does not feature as a proposed solution.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Anyone insisting we have to welcome conservative "thinkers" are the ones that either truly live in a bubble or are actually conservatives. I don't need to hear any new justifications they come up with to ruin everyone's lives with their nonsense. I've never gone a day without hearing it yet anyway.
Trying to imagine a life where I haven't been blasted with conservative thoughts and ideas every day of my life. Wow, I don't have to hear about what minority they hate now? I don't have to hear about how some people have to die because of profit? Damn sounds like a relaxing paradise.
