You can go into every corner shop in the UK and buy a paper run at a loss by a billionaire that tells you which minority you should hate today and nobody thinks that's weird.

If you ever said you'd have done something in the 1930s/1940s about concentration camps, you're going to get a chance to prove it soon.

As a trans person, I choose to see our people as the crest of a powerful wave, the younger generations making up the mighty wall of water behind us; one that will smash the unnaunced, repressive and flawed concepts of heteronormative and cisnormative Western gender and sexuality to smithereens.

Like any radical, progressive development, conservatives will hate us because they are frightened, ignorant and cruel, but they CANNOT and WILL NOT be able to stop the wave of change. 🌊

I once deliberately told my dorky computing professor a terrible computing joke. Want to read it?

Of course you would!

Last night's insomnia movie was Back to the Future.

I really wanted to sleep, but Darth Vader came down from the planet Vulcan and told me he'd melt my brain if I didn't watch it, so...

If I had a flag pole on my balcony, I'd be legally able to fly any national flag or whathaveyou, but apparently, I'd need planning permission to fly a pride flag.

Hmmm... 🤔

In any UK election, I shall vote with my heart for the Scottish Greens. 💚

I don't care about tactical voting anymore, frankly.

The world is on fire, England is falling to fascism and my people are being treated as subhuman.

So yes, tell me to ignore that and tactically vote, Jenkins.

🌎 Colonial History

When Cristoforo Colombo first arrived in present-day Dominican Republic in 1493, the Ciguayo people shot a bunch of arrows at him after he tried to extort an unfair trade from them.

Unfortunately, they didn't get him.

The indescriminate killing of civilians in warfare is expressly forbidden by CCIV - Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (1949).

Kay? Kay, thanks. Stop saying "it's wrong, buuuuuuuut-"

Streaming services are expensive, full of ads, and many titles are fleeting.

You can still buy Blu-rays and DVDs, even second hand for very small prices.

Plus, lots of older releases are available used, dirt-cheap and in high definition on HD-DVD if you can get a player.

The secret to Star Wars bliss is to only watch your completely unedited 1970s/80s 35mm film print preservations of the original trilogy and pretend that's all they ever made. 😇

Anyone complaining about a black lady playing Juliet is just a racist. It's simple as that.

There's a legend from Rarotonga 🇨🇰 that the 7th-century sailor Ui-te-Rangiora went far enough towards Antarctica that he encountered sea ice, thus beating husky-eating European/Japanese explorers by centuries.

It's hard to judge if it's true, as there's plenty of European corruption to the story.

When a company arbitrarily decides to restrict your service until a thorough(ly unnecessary, pedantic and overzealous) identity check is completed because your name and gender changed, we can call that "transvestigating", right?

As in: "this company is a bunch of transvestigating mother****ers".

On 11th November, we rightly remember the 40 million people who died in the "war to end all wars".

I see this as an ideal time to demand peace for those of us around the world dying in wars today, including Gaza.

Otherwise, what's the actual point of remembering the armistice??

🌍 Colonial History

In 1811, HMS Endymion landed some men on the rock noone's ever heard of, Rockall, for the purposes of Imperial ****-wavery ("my rock!")

The landing party got lost in a North Sea fog and spent hours rowing about looking for the frigate.

For a literal rock. Hooray for Empires!

A polity with a low birth rate has the problem of an ageing population. The solution to this is encouraging immigration.

Why is this so unacceptable? (Hint: racism and xenophobia).
