The Onion has had it lmao

the availability of cheap clothes made with questionable labor standards has made ppl lose touch with what clothes should cost given the work required, the cost of materials, and fair wages

1/8 It’s Children in Need season. I always feel like an absolute grinch critiquing it because it’s so beloved and obviously raises much needed cash. But my ick outweighs my discomfort at being impolite so here we go (a thread)

No, it's really so funny, you can write entire threads about how fast fashion literally exploits the labor of millions and is both indirectly and directly responsible for the deaths of thousands and the replies will be like "why do you hate poor people?"

This is why "I can love HP without supporting her views" is a problem. Every time you watch her movies, play her games, buy her books, and buy her merch, you are padding her pockets. You're funding her bigotry. Even participating in fandom keeps her work relevant & monetizable.

5th day without power thanks to @BritishGas - another engineer not turned up, no urgency at all in trying to help even though they know we have a baby. Not sure what to do 😭 @BritishGasHelp

whyyy is this so pixelated! see - rubbish at twitter

I started a newsletter! rubbish at twitter and disheartened by instagram so thought this may be something nicer to try. Follow for occasional updates and waffling on about my work etc: https://t.co/rMIeveRDEW

People are like "the queen isn't responsible for all those atrocities, she just supported them in a highly public, highly symbolic, ceremonial capacity that manufactured popular consent for all those atrocities - totally different."

The death that is on my mind today is Chris Kaba’s the 24 year old shot by @metpoliceuk this week in a traumatising racist murder. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon. The state that upholds & enables continued murder of our communities at home & abroad is not one to revere

The UK is sliding into humanitarian catastrophe – caused by a lifetime of political negligence. My column https://t.co/Fxqwbi4sbo

I did a comic about my kid, the fall of Roe & dirt bikes that appeared in last Sunday's New York Times. 1/
