I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

on PigGate night, 3 RW WM I'd never interacted with took exception to me thinking PigGate was funny & spent til about 4am joining in with each other sending me blisteringly misogynistic, explicitly sexual "banter" about Abbott - who had NOTHING to do with PigGate. I never replied to them once.
When I was monitoring FB etc groups around Brexit, the one thing pro and anti groups all had in common was racist & misogynistic memes and other posts about Diane Abbott. She was loathed by the centre and the right and whatever the reasons they gave if challenged, it was always misogynoir behind it
I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

Excited to see lots of op eds in the broadsheets saying it's not fair, actually, bc the author has a £2m house but is actually very poor & it turns out they're a minor aristocrat due to inherit 1/2 of Cheshire & the clothes in their 'poor me' photoshoot cost more than my car
There is apparently a mansion tax for properties over £2 million so expect to see a lot of shit about how that's the normal price of a house these days and average people are being affected.
