The production value on this starter set is absurdly high and anyone that's a fan of the Arkham Files will find something to like about it IMO. If you're paying in euros you should check this out.

If anyone is into Arkham Horror and knows they have a role playing game, I put an unused copy of the Starter Set (unpunched tokens) on eBay recently 😄 ebay.us/m/OwnZiq

I never got to use it, my friends didn’t show any interest despite is all being D&D players. Oh well!

Pardon our interruption...

They just haven’t progressed anything beyond the messages I told you about last night. It’s like they have a company mission statement to be shit.

Graphic. Cut out of Zack Polanski saying " Zia, do you ever think immigration is the number one problem because you spend a lot of time spreading misinformation and fear?" In speech bubble. Cut out of Zia Yusuf from Reform below.

What Bindle doesn't get is that people are pissed off, afraid, and no one's listening.

Also, her movement has money thrown at it by billionaires and propaganda spread for it by most of the mainstream media. A privilege not available to those they seek to disappear.

Stupendously astounded that Evri manage to stay in business. They’re worse at what they do than the British Govt is at being a govt and that’s a floor level bar.

@ohsarahsavage.bsky.social attacks the failure of Brighton council allowing the anti-trans faux-feminist group Fillia to hold a “conference” in the city.

"Our city is being invaded by transphobes this weekend." Trans Pride Brighton issues statement ahead of "anti-trans" Filia Conference

This weekend the Brighton Centre will host the Filia Conference 2025, an event which bills itself as a feminist event, raising issues about global women's rights. Sounds great, right? Well, it’s a lie...

This makes sense when you realise the goal isn't to make money, it's to spread propaganda. The hyper rich in control of it can write that money off as a great investment if the sheep who follow it vote how they want and get that Tzar of runtiness Farage into more power.

Hey you guys remember that time Donald Trump decided that if you're mentally ill he can send you to a concentration camp and no one will ever see you again. You guys remember that? I'm just thinking about that for no reason.

A fringe group wants the field of psychiatry to regress back to the days when stereotypes and prejudices resulted in mental illness diagnoses for marginalized populations.

In a new reported piece, @evanurquhart.bsky.social examines Genspect's call for the re-psychopathologization of trans identity.

Hate Group Calls for Re-Labeling Transness as Mental Illness — Assigned

A fringe group with no expertise pushes the field of psychiatry to regress to a pre-scientific, prejudice-soaked view of trans people. It coincides with the far-right political agenda.

Today my doctor told me it will be at least another six months until I can get the surgery on the NHS.

I am not exaggerating: I will be homeless and probably dead long before then. My situation is completely dire.

an arch on @anarchonbury.bsky.social · 18d

I've been quiet for a while. It's been due to a number of factors, the most prominent of which is poor health.

I need surgery, and I'm stuck in limbo. Please help.

“The rule would not apply to EU nationals with settled status in the UK, as their right to receive benefits forms part of post-Brexit arrangements with the bloc”

An explicitly racist policy then

“Another part of the plan would limit benefits to people with UK citizenship, removing it even from those who have been in the country for years or even decades and have indefinite leave to remain”

If this is not xenophobia then I don’t know what is.
