"White feminist tears deploy white woundedness, and the sympathy it generates, to hide the harms we perpetrate through white supremacy."

Demonising safeguarding, demonising older women, promoting double-mastectomies to children, bulk harassment of gender -critical staff.
Oxfam's entry to the worst take for #PrideMonth2023 is shocking. twitter.com/Oxfam/status/1…

Exactly. Moreover, isn't it unprecedented that a charity such as Oxfam would conduct a spite campaign against a single private individual (JKR) with zero connection to any governmental capacity? Oxfam's disgraceful record on rape by its staff in Haiti is also still relevant

That oxfam ad reminds me of old racist dehumanising World War Two propaganda posters you don’t see outside of history textbooks

This is the lost village of Tilney-cum-Islington in the Norfolk Marshland. @last_of_england and I are hopefully heading to the Marshland tomoz to check out some of its incredible churches. So, stand by your beds.

Pakistan has become a global menace. It is abysmally governed, violent, unstable and nuclear-armed. Its generals must, once and for all, get out of politics: econ.st/3C4QLar

The six reactors have been shut down for some time, I think less than a year, but they still need cooling water. I don't have all the details. I am sure we will hear from the by tomorrow morning.

This reservoir provides the cooling water for the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. It will take some time for the reservoir to drain to a dangerous level for ZNPP, but the clock is now ticking.
And the destruction downstream will be enormous.

The Kakhovka Dam on the Dnipro River has been blown up. Russia had mined the dam many months ago in anticipation of a potential Ukrainian offensive.

Video footage of the dam shows a major breach in the section of the dam closest to the Russian-occupied eastern bank of the river. Flooding is expected to reach critical levels at around 11 a.m., according to local authorities.

Roughly: it's still going on. Each country will continue to get three to four waves a year. Possible dangers from new variants. Make sure to get your booster shot at least once a year. Despite all fake confidence, it's as nasty as ever, so don't risk it, get the boosters. twitter.com/Glinner/status

Quite seriously, many of you need to read much more of Ray Bradbury's works. The man was seriously prophetic of both technological and social innovations, developments and effects.

Pro-tip: things are partly also defined by what they are not; people are partly also defined by what they don't do. If you see someone do A, but they consistently won't do B, there's a big piece of the jigsaw puzzle right there for you.

1/n I talked a little about this in one thread. @ariana_erbon found >35,000 GoFundMe accounts for young women seeking donations for double mastectomies of healthy breasts. And yet, as @coachblade says, some would make giving psychological advice against that illegal. twitter.com/coachblade/sta…

A really interesting question. As y'all know, it's too easy to just make up any old plausible story, but I think there's a combination:
— usual generational conflict, plus:
— growing narcissism (known from studies);
— luxury politics of relative wealth;
— increasing urbanization

Is this generation particularly bad or is it always the case that young people are more vulnerable to extremes and tend to react against what's gone before - so if they are born into authoritarianism they'll move towards liberalism & vice versa?

After everything we have learned in the last few years, the fact that a story with this headline is leading BBC News online is an indefensible dereliction of duty. Might as well run with “Russia says Elvis still alive”.
