*submits assignment* *heavy breathing*

It’s quite the sentiment, but I would definitely agree with @DrFrancesRyan here. The idea that anyone can live and support themselves on a £25k wage (which was acceptable 15 years ago) is beyond a joke now. The living wage just isn’t that anymore - we need an overhaul

So many of you don’t / won’t read things that challenge your worldview on historic colonial violence and it shows. Veganism is just a word that a dude invented back in the 1900’s - the practice of abstaining from cruelty goes back literal millennia in non-white communities ✌🏼

With what appears to have been an assist from Farage and Sunak, the GB News owners hedge fund has reportedly cashed by in betting against NatWest. This requires an urgent investigation so we can find out what has happened. So do reports of Truss and Kwarteng reportedly having lunch with hedgefunders that short the pound prior to the mini budget. Then after, at a widely reported champagne lunch, where Kwarteng was said to have been advised to double down on their horrifying budget, which further screwed the markets and left millions of Britons facing huge mortgage increases and risk of homelessness. It’s almost as if the book Jacob Rees Moggs dad wrote is being used as a manual. This is generally how "Sovereign Individuals" operate. One of Jacob Rees Mogg’s donors is Crispin Odey, ex husband of Murdochs daughter and the man that made millions in the aftermath of Brexit, after donating vast sums to leave groups, he has benefitted from a lot of crashes. He’s also linked to the fossil fuel big wigs, Mogg is vocally pro fracking and was very pro Brexit, but I’m sure that’s just a big coincidence… Disaster capitalism, shorting the pound, betting against your own country - the antithesis of patriotism. Yet they all claim to be the poster boys for patriotism? Real patriots look around now and feel little but shame for what their nation has become. That’s how it all generally works though, between the government and powerful people. It’s all high stakes gambling and bank robbing arranged in Prada at the Carlton by the elite, fuck ups orchestrated, billionaires get richer, send it all offshore - then we are left to pay for it, a society in ruins that’s told to accept low pay as food prices and energy bills soar, that face hate crimes as their red meat/ culture war rhetoric impacts our communities, that’s taxed higher as our public services fall to ruins due to government cuts. Meanwhile, MPs cash in, their pay increases, their expenses increase and their mates divvy out shares then take the money and run, or buy yachts and sail away. They’re like a posh mafia and we are all being conned on an industrial scale. amp.theguardian.com/politics…

Absolutely delicious to witness - pay your staff and maybe there won’t be a small protest in your speech 🙃

Happy to be an ally to the T-errific bakers in the LGBT community

United behind a state of colonialism

Why this valid though

Incredible podcast from @ourhenhouse with Yvette Baker speaking truthfully and openly about Veganism and activism. Such interesting perspectives, and some great references for the Masters thesis in #criticalanimalstudies ✊🏼💚 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

And Suella has given powers to the police to arrest children having fun in playgrounds

Here, have some humanely gas chambered pigs, raised in ‘just a little bit better than dire’ conditions in order to sate a mouth craving 💀

I wonder what Orwell would make of the utter state of it

Feels like somebody took a blow torch to my soul and poured vodka on it to cool it down x.com/theplatformuni/status/…

Water privatisation is a con. (Location: Thames Water HQ)

This is especially worrying to those entering the field - CAS is such an important multidisciplinary area to help liberate animals from exploitation and suffering.

I can’t imagine feeling this way (as I do) whilst knowing your own country is being torn apart. HE will have a lot to answer for in the coming years.

The fact that we’re still on this makes me so mad. Just dock the 2% if you’re THAT petty, or actually do better and acknowledge that your institution doesn’t run on warm hugs and unpaid labour? I came to learn about political theory, not be bashed around by it w/ shit management

Only gone downhill since I arrived, lets see how far this rabbit hole goes ✌🏼 #MyTwitterAnniversary

You are ignoring the purple (very unhealthy/borderline hazardous) zones in Canada because IQair doesn't report non-major cities. Yet ~50% of Canada's population is impacted by this wildfire. NYC is one of the many cities impacted in the U.S. But we are nowhere near the worse.
