Various audio snippets of my childhood that I've collected.
Labour is going to win the general election and then say this doesn’t go far enough.
"Sunak said ‘something has gone wrong’ since the pandemic to increase the number of people signed off work for long-term sickness" (metro)
staring into the camera like its the fucking office
"Mr Sunak also said, if the Conservatives win the general election, those who were still out of work after 12 months after support from a work coach will have "their benefits removed entirely"." (bbc)
just fucking shoot me now i hate it here
okay logging back in for one thing:
the government now has an open call for evidence on their proposed changes.
"This call for evidence is part of a wider suite of activity to reform the fit note and will act as a prelude to a full consultation on specific policy proposals which will be launched later this year."
it's all well and good for people to say "oh just because he said it, doesn't mean it will happen", as if the government hasnt happily let disabled people die from benefit cuts, lack of social care and oh yeah FUCKING COVID. have people forgotten that? 6/10 covid deaths in the uk were disabled people and nobody cared. so don't think they won't keep making it worse for us.
please read, please share and please if youre in the uk, please consider fighting with us to stop this.
i am so tired of watching my community die.

"School districts that don’t respect transgender and nonbinary students’ pronouns or force them to use restrooms that don’t align with their gender identity could be committing federal civil rights violations beginning this fall.
Today, the U.S. Department of Education announced the issuance of a final rule under Title IX to protect people in public schools from sex-based discrimination and harassment. The announcement marks a significant update in federal efforts to combat sex discrimination in federally funded educational institutions. During a call with reporters, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona emphasized the administration’s dedication to ensuring that Title IX effectively serves all students by providing safe, welcoming, and rights-respecting educational environments."

this is really big for us actually
Title IX is a cornerstone of protection for women, girls, and gender/sex minorities in schools, I saw it used so many times in the 17 years I was in school to enact real consequences for sexual harassment. The Obama administration added "guidelines" to include gender identity but they were more like suggestions. This is REAL. All those states and school districts that have passed anti-trans policies in the last few years will HAVE to abide by this. Coming in the wake of things like Nex Benedict's case, this might actually force schools to pay attention to harassment of LGBT kids. And they're working on an addendum protecting trans kids' right to play on the correct sports teams.
I'm... this feels like a tide changing. We'll see how it plays out on the local level, but I have seen Title IX work in my own life. I know people who have been removed from sports teams or classes, even removed from an entire school because they harassed or assaulted someone. It's not perfect and I've also seen the process fail to fully protect victims. But it's incredible to me that future queer kids could see their rights considered important like that. Queer rights are intertwined with women's rights, trans rights are feminism, and it's actually a big deal that the government is acknowledging that!!
Also, though, if Trump is elected he will try to walk this back. Part of this change is just undoing damage that his education secretary did 6 years ago (including forcing victims trying to invoke Title IX to testify in a live hearing rather than private meetings... about their experience of SEXUAL HARASSMENT... Biden's changes just removed that part) So I hope we can make progress before that happens, if it does.
fun fact that I noticed while playing totk is that the flame, frost, and shock emitters all have a resemblance to the respective dragons
you can most notably see the resemblance in the horns
so the real question is
Who the fuck are you?
I was thinking "nah, why would they? not the right vibe" and was going to just assume the answer was no, but...
...I was very surprised to learn that in fact, they did. (close by, that is)
How the fuck did they avoid Texas that hard
by filming in Vancouver Canada, which cannot possibly be made to look like Texas
