Rodan (black) and Mothra (spotted tabby)- Mothra has an injured tail at the moment hence the cone

“Independent” is doing too much work in this first wave. They are arresting journalists and just like everything else they’ve done, they’re testing the limits of our resistance by starting wt vulnerable margins.

Those who are Supposed to Die White America's ideas of normalcy and resistance reinforce twofold citizenship.

going insane watching people call Alex Pretti’s murder the second or third murder by ICE. going insane watching people claim ICE isn’t law enforcement and it’s bad messaging to name them as such. wake! tf! up!

fuller/more eloquent thoughts on this here:

Extract of statement from Trinity Hall, Cambridge, saying “The College has recently been the subject of news stories regarding its admissions policies. To be clear, there has been no change in our widening participation policy, and we continue to work very hard to support and attract students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

We propose to add some schools to the email lists we use to share our existing online initiatives, to ensure we receive applications from talented students from all backgrounds. This activity does not affect our overall Admissions Policy.”

Here’s an extract from TH’s response. If it’s just that they are making the target private schools aware of initiatives by adding them to an email list - wouldn’t even the most disadvantaged at those schools still already benefit considerably from their schools’ knowledge?

I really liked this piece James. I’m in a different situation as I have lots of out-of-the-house stuff with work and 3 kids and I thought I needed to thin out my life but it was only when I joined a local choir after many years not singing that I realised I needed to add something in.
