I will not vote for any party that doesn’t firmly and unequivocally commit to building universal social housing by a state agency. If your party’s housing plan involves tinkering around the edges of planning/incentives/regulations or relies on developers or “the market”, you won’t get a vote from me
Screen grab from the Times (London) Katharine Birbalsingh has criticised schools for failing to give pupils "a sense of British history” White guilt drives schools' diversity push, Birbalsingh says. 'Britain's strictest headteacher' says children are given no sense of our history and should be learning algebra not looking at each other's differences
“The focus on diversity came at the expense of more important subjects, the 51-year-old headteacher said. She was aware of one independent school in London, which she declined to name, that had "abandoned all Shakespeare" in favour of teaching "the great works" of Panti Bliss, an Irish drag queen and gay rights activist.”
This is the second time this woman (“Britain’s strictest headteacher”) has claimed there’s a secret school in London she won’t name that has replaced Shakespeare with me. It’s complete bullshit of course but why’s she so obsessed with me

I guess I’m not brushing my teeth tonight…
I literally tried not to think about my party so much that i haven't mentally prepped and now I'm anxious anyway because it's starting in just over an hour and I can't stop crying so I guess no makeup which is fine but my eyes are gonna look bad bECAUSE IVE BEEN CRYING
And I feel awful because my friends/ housemates are trying to make things good for the party and I'm just being miserable and annoying and stressed for no reason !!
I hate my birthday parties , I always have at least 3-5 stress cries before it starts. RSD is bad so when people cancel I'm just like "no worries !! :) " and in my mind I'm like oh! Everyone hates you and thinks you're boring and annoying !!
There's this last minute rush that you grow accustomed to with ADHD, where you enter a sort of 'Clown Time' zone and do a months worth of work in a week then sleep for 2 weeks after
I'm circling the rim of the clown right now.
Besties I was homeschooled (educationally neglected) and this thing was like the only way I learned any kind of science bc I found it for free on my own so honestly if anything is worth funding you should fund them because it's so useful for people who don't have many educational resources
Sorry to everyone trying to figure out what I want for my birthday I don't even know what I want

Digital painting showing a black woman in a pink victorian style dress with long flowy sleeves and flowy strips of fabric pinned to the waist. Shes holding a book in one hand and reaching tbe other behind her as a giant blue jellyfish floats behind her and hands her a conch shell. The sky is a blazing red sunset.
Okay this is finally done! I did a mentorship with @abigbat.bsky.social and this is the final piece. Just a gal and her giant magical jellyfish hunting for pretty seashells ✨

Cis women in Ireland need to talk to other cis women in our lives and pour water on the kind of thinly veiled, soft-sounding bigotry that's creeping into people's social media and minds before we fully go the way of the UK. TERFs are claiming to speak FOR us - we need to speak for ourselves. Loudly.

This week I wrote about vigilance, and how I'm less interested in litigating whether Garron Noone is a racist, than in whether what he said was true or not. It wasn't. And people are right to be alarmed that he said it, and to wonder why he did.

Batman breaking a gun, saying "This is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it."
Seeing a lot of GenAi images being made to make fun of Trump and Elon lately. It's not great to see.
Message to me from some guy presumably mashing arse against the screen that reads "Who says what you produce is art? Everyone knows someone with a nine to five job who creates better things than your childish nonsense. Get a job if your rubbish doesn't sell. The world doesn't care. Grow up. The world owes you nothing. Listen to Charlie Parker." In the background is one long, wet fart sound.
NOW it's starting to feel like the old site 💖
You can't say anything these days without somebody telling you that they can't say anything these days and when you ask them what they can't say they say you can't say anything to them

My latest character piece (still on that Victorian shit I fear), enjoy! #illustration

We talk a lot about the grand stretch in the evening but there really isn’t enough love for the grand stretch in the morning, it has singlehandedly cured all my mental illnesses

📢 YES, it's okay to PUNCH NAZIS.

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.
I'm sat
YouTube deciding randomly that maybe I don't want the subtitles in English , I probably want them in Korean ! Yes that makes so much sense YouTube ! I definitely speak Korean and have shown that that is a preference for sure!
Looking at you Ireland!
QRP with your wings! 😈🦇
Ireland had the opportunity to be an egalitarian republic where the most vulnerable were always protected, and instead we got a partitioned country built for landlords and the corrupt, veiled behind a thin layer of bowls of shamrock and Aran sweaters so tourists don't notice the rot.
