The ICE discussions around perceived lack of deference to authority somehow justifying violence are reminding me of this.
Post by stimmyabby Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority" and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you" and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person" and they think they're being fair but they aren't, and it's not okay.

Birthday present from Kate! Always themed so we can do the “you sure have a lot of books about being a lesbian” lines from Friends
(You have to take a course. Otherwise they won’t let you do it.)

oof - latest Full Fact newsletter written by someone having to leave because of Google pulling funding.
Some news This has had a very personal impact over the last month, with the organisation having to let some colleagues, including myself, go. It might seem odd that I wanted to write this email, but it is because I believe passionately in what Full Fact does and want to leave it in the strongest possible position. One final favour I think Google's decision is influenced by the perceived need to please the current US administration, feeding the harmful new narrative that attacks fact checking and all it stands for. Fact checking has never seen a threat like this.

Graphic design is my passion.
A council poster asking residents to take their bin to their house after it has been emptied. There is a baffling series of images including a blood red cross next to a cartoon of the road and a green tick next to images of bins in some grass.

Walked into the kitchen this morning to find my wife very seriously saying “Should we discuss how handsome you are?” to the cat.

Also btw what even IS thinking is a super cool topic I would happily bang on about, but point of the thread is more this kind of thing

#Caturday and #AmReading in one. Though the combo has led to some teeth marks in the corner of the book…
