I really don't like getting into peoples grills about their beliefs. I really do want to leave people to however it is that they want to deal with their existence (& impending non existence). But it's one thing when you're framing your life in a way that works for you >
> and it's a whole new thing when you're getting into other peoples lives.
This idea that one group of our society is morally wrong, or broken or disordered or less then or less worthy (or worthy of punishment) has a very real outcome. Suffering. On a mammoth scale. >
> There are families & communities right here among us the beat gay kids. Disown them. Kick them out. Ostracize them. There are countries in this world that jail & fucking stone to death people just for being gay. >
> And if you are supporting or enabling this concept here, then you are absolutely part of enabling & perpetuating this harm all over the world.
The future is going to judge us harshly for this. A brutality visited on our fellow humans on a scale that almost defies comprehension>
> that was completely unnecessary because it was all completely made up.
But we have to respect everybody's beliefs right? And "religious beliefs" are "special" - even when it leads to suffering of millions.
How otherwise decent people continue to enable this I will never know...
I just want to acknowledge my ubiquitous misuse of the term "gay" when I meant LGBTQ+.
Please know if you are TQ2+ you are equally worthy of acknowledgement & our love & support.
I apologise to you x

<Thread> Here's an idea.
Let's start treating people that have made the lifestyle choice of believing they know what a creator of the universe thinks about very specific things - like gay humans, the same way *they* treat gay humans.
Let's start by teaching everybody that it's stupid & harmful.
Let's teach that it's a choice to be deluded.
Tell everyone that Believers are immoral & dangerous.
Let's teach our children to avoid them at all costs.
That they are dirty. Broken. Less than.
Remind our children frequently of this reality.
Put fear in them that if they themselves dare to believe...
Not only might we beat them, but we will cease to love them,
Care for them. Even acknowledge them.
And that they will suffer for their entire existence.

Dear @ZacGoldsmith
As a "contemptuous Remainer", may I assure you that I have considered the implications of "winning", as you put it, very carefully.
First, Remainers long ago gave up the idea of #Brexit being a winner/loser situation. They are all too fully aware that leaving/2
2/ will be nothing but lose/lose all round. Oh, except maybe for those who are trying to avoid the new tax legislation.
Second, the 48% who voted #Remain, and the @the3million and @BritishInEurope who were disenfranchised in the 2016 referendum /3
3/know only too well what it's like to have their vote ignored and their postal votes "lost" or maybe never counted. The BBC & other *impartial* media outlets name them persistently as #Remoaners, if mentioned at all. The PM referred to them as "losers" in the Withdrawal Bill. /4

@CloudsCreek @PennySharpemlc @GilesParkinson @simonahac So there are a couple of things here to cover. First, the *actual* performance of that Tesla "megabattery"™ in South Australia. Which can only be described as a bit meh. 1/x
@CloudsCreek @PennySharpemlc @GilesParkinson @simonahac In NSW there is the Shoalhaven pumped hydro expansion that people should be following closely. The first serious test of how useful it can be, and the prospects for scaling this option up by several orders of magnitude. 2/x
@CloudsCreek @PennySharpemlc @GilesParkinson @simonahac Especially with regards to Snowy Hydro 2.0
Then there's all that extra transmission line capacity that needs to be built for it to be of any actual use. This comes in with a big price tag. 3/x

1. A short story of #Brexit in four acts. Act 1) in 2010 Coalition comes to power and presses on with dramatic #austerity, wrecking the UK's social compact... causing massive economic harm...leading to 2015 General Election
2.... in which Cameron promised an #EUref, while secretly speculating on another hung parliament with #LibDems blocking such a referendum theguardian.com/world/2019/jan… Yet, Act 2) lots of #austerity disgruntled #LibDems & 2010 non-voters, along with some Cons voters switched to..
3. #UKIP in 2015 General Election. #LibDems got wiped out, #Cons gained 27 seats from LibDems (out 28 overall seat gain), while #Labour lost massively to #SNP -- allowing Cameron to go alone, being pushed by #Brexiteers in #Conservative party to go ahead with #EUref.

Rapidamente hai cominciato a lavorare meno ore e a guadagnare meno soldi. A Milano 960 euro non bastano se hai un figlio, una separazione alle spalle.

Questa è la storia di Baggio, raccontata nel primo capitolo di "Senza più valore", di @yes_political.

#thread #people
Hai provato a protestare, al telefono, con il tuo referente di zona. Lui non ti ha quasi fatto parlare. È l’algoritmo. Non dipende da lui. Ti ha fatto incazzare. Non ti ascolta. Non capisce che quei soldi ti servono.

#thread #people
Lui ti ha detto allora che se avessi continuato a scocciarlo, ti avrebbe sloggato. Non lui direttamente, ma il sistema. Lui è obbligato, dice.

Deve registrare la chiamata. Deve registrare il tuo comportamento. «Aggressivo» dice. «Aggressivo de che?» gli rispondi.

1/5 Brexit Britain is in as ugly, bitter & dangerous state as I can ever recall. Political parties, the press, communities & families are hopelessly split &, as this epic summer blazes on, the two sides slump exhausted, like medieval armies plotting the final & decisive battle.
2/5 Someone, perhaps one or all of these politicians or an outsider like Gina Miller or Sadiq Khan, simply HAS to rise up, statesman-like, & make real the #PeoplesVote that is surely our last chance of delivering this country from the fast approaching #Brexit catastrophe.
3/5 They’ll need a persuasive & emotionally engaging vision on why #Europe is a great & civilising influence in our national life & how we can ALL make things better for the millions who felt so alienated by it that they were easy meat for the #Leave sharks in the first place.

Things you should know about those living with chronic pain:

1. We minimize our reality because we don’t want to be seen as whiners & because we’ve noticed the “she had cancer & never complained once” stories that are usually bullshit but still consumed happily as inspirational.
2. We carefully curate our stories so we aren’t othered or pitied. I woke up in the middle of the night earlier this week, needing to pee. I had to take pain medicine and wait uncomfortably for it to kick in before I could manage to get out of bed. But that’s too sad to post.
3. We notice all the Christian testimonies about healing. We see celebrations over those. We wonder if you’d be willing to see God or even see us in our stories, the ones in which prayers for healing are answered with no or not yet or silence.
