just saw a part time curator job for 20k a year in central London. tbh it’s at the point now anytime a cultural institution advertises a role they may as well just say “those who require a salary to live need not apply”. every year it gets worse, and we’re seeing how arts and culture suffers for it!

honestly, i do think media roles that expect you to have salaried employment consistently previously is kinda like.... 'ok buddy!!!!!'

those long boring job application forms that make you put in your work experience in boxes is anti-freelance/gig economy worker discrimination (is this anything????)

It's nice, isn't it. The quiet... when everyone who speaks up against genocide and dissents with grown up politicians is in jail.

Sign saying: its (sic) an offense to support a proscribed organisation.

The West Midlands has produced some of the best bands this country ever did - like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and so on - and being made to go on holiday as there a kid makes it very apparent why (the need to get out of there)

there should be a careers service for 30somethings that is helpful (not the DWP)

I wonder if The Guardian’s music desk feels like rubes for giving 1989 (Taylor’s Version) five stars. It sounds like it was recorded in a tin can

Clara Hill @claraish.bsky.social · Jul 2

A journalist with integrity (do they exist?) should ask an MP why we are allowed to celebrate the suffragettes, who surely would be proscribed as a terrorist org as they are much more violent than Palestine Action???

None of this stuff is unprecedented, it's just that most of it never happened on the big island.
