I’m neither young nor a woman but about to follow you because I liked your photography and I checked and also like your politics :)

That’s an awesome visual on its own, but the perfection of it in terms of the photo is amazing!

Have a quick look at your ratio here, please, and consider what it says about the Labour Party.
October 27, 2025 at 7:14 PM
ugh, I’m sorry.

Also I’m two days late because apparently I don’t know the days of the week. My body is having a bit of a nightmare and I genuinely thought it was Sunday today!

*suspiciously.

I nearly spelt it with an h at the end this time, too. Perhaps Ares just doesn’t trust my typing…

Being decent etc in the face of correction may feel hard the first time, but it gets easier the more times you do it, and what’s more, when you end up having a *nice* conversation with someone rather than an argument, you go away feeling so much better. Learning to apologise has been so worth it.

It’s also not funny for precisely the same reason…

Indeed, and hard agree.

Tiny thing…but “disabled people” is sort of preferable to “the disabled” (like you wouldn’t say “the trans” as it’s generally considered depersonalising. Not meant as criticism, more info for future use, if that makes sense?)
October 20, 2025 at 5:45 PM
Ah! That makes more sense! Yes, you don’t want to have sex matters thrust in your face necessarily all unexpected like :)

Why tf is this labelled “graphic media” by bluesky?
October 20, 2025 at 5:25 PM
Huh, you know, I don’t think I quite realised that ignorant and ignore came from the same base until then. So to be ignorant is literally to ignore the information, whether through refusing to learn or refusing to hear because it’s inconvenient…

Yes. Yes it does.
*hugs or if you are not a hug person, painkillers that actually work*
Also very much solidarity.

You actually have to make a real effort to be that ignorant about climate change if you are in his position, I think. In his time, scientists *will* have spoken to him about it, so he will have to have looked carefully for the 0.01% of scientists who say there’s any doubt at all.

Alt text, please, for future posting? It also helps people find things because the words used in alt text turns up in searches So if you put your name there it’ll reliably come up with the book name (which it won’t being just in your screen name, ime).
