In the UK, 2 women are m*rdered a week, not by men who came on boats, not by strangers, but by known men, intimate partners, or family members. 71,227 r*pes reported in 2024 & only 2.7% had charges brought against them…So forgive me if your flags & your protests don't make me feel safer…

Quote from “Bullshit Jobs” by David Graeber (see Alt Text)

Quote from “Bullshit Jobs” by David Graeber - “The employed are encouraged to resent the poor and unemployed, who they are constantly told are scroungers and freeloaders. Those trapped in bullshit jobs resent workers who get to do real productive or beneficial labor, and those who do real productive or beneficial labor, underpaid, degraded, and unappreciated, increasingly resent those who they see as monopolizing those few jobs where one can live well while doing something useful, high-minded, or glamorous who they refer to as 'the liberal elite:' All are united in their loathing for the political class, who they see (correctly) as corrupt, but the political class, in turn, finds these other forms of vacuous hatred extremely convenient, since they distract attention from themselves." - David Graeber

Quote on Late Stage Capitalism, by Chris Hedges (see alt-text)…

Quote on Late Stage Capitalism:
"The final stages of capitalism, Karl Marx predicted, would be marked by global capital being unable to expand and generate profits at former levels. Capitalists would begin to consume the government along with the physical and social structures that sustained them. Democracy, social welfare, electoral participation, the common good and investment in public transportation, roads, bridges, utilities, industry, education, ecosystem protection and health care would be sacrificed to feed the mania for short-term profit. These assaults would destroy the host." - Chris Hedges

To all trans and non-binary people in the UK:
Please carry this important card with you at all times, in case someone attempts to prevent you from accessing a service which matches your gender.
The card was created by leading barrister Robin Moira White, on behalf of TransLucent. #TransEquality

"Trans women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity&dignity of transgender people&goes against all advice given by professional healthcare associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either JK Rowling or I." ~ Daniel Radcliffe #SupremeCourt #EqualityAct
