There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"
"According to the report, [...]during the 2024-25 television season, queer characters increased across platforms by 4%, bringing the total to 489. However, the Thursday report found that 41% of those characters will not return." www.thewrap.com/glaad-where-...

Reminder that temporary status for many refugees was already introduced under the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 and then reversed. These proposals from the Labour government are re-heated hostility which has been extensively proven not to work. Labour remain Reform's most useful idiots.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Been a weird year for music for me, I've been busy and my brain hasn't latched on to anything properly all year - it's been weirdly depressing! - all this to say I just finally listened to Berghain (three times in a row) and I feel like I could kick in a door it's so good
