Ok! I’m not here to argue or be lectured to. Was just confirming post: that the critics weren’t harsh enough. I was very much punished for my stance, professionally and financially, and I’m just confirming that I didn’t go far enough. But if you know more than me, that’s fine!
I remember being at an event in Dublin attached to WebSummit, where a lot of the big names were, and the vibes were more chilling than chill. I’m just trying not to give myself more credit than I should! I was very scathing, and I took a lot of flak for it, but I wasn’t scathing enough for sure.
Oh yeah, I definitely wouldn’t have been defending folks, but I know in a lot of cases, I was operating on the assumption that most didn’t care about the damage they were doing. Power, fame, money, yes, but i only thought some wanted to destroy the world on purpose. Not…most.
Sometimes I go back and read that thread when I need to be reminded of the joy in the world
In the 2018 election, one party put a leaflet through our door with “time to go him and an airplane on it. Not sure if it was every mailbox with a foreign name, or random. People like that didn’t have quite the same mandate then, but they do now. euobserver.com/205537/how-t...
We’re still holding our small anti-ICE vigils, which have become: walk to the US embassy, read the names of the dead, and sing together for a few minutes. But this work is needed everywhere. Sign the petition to stop making it even easier to do this in the EU action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-12...
I was pretty critical, and when I look back at stuff I wrote, some of it stands up, but a lot reads like they were naive or indifferent about their impact. I definitely suspected intention in some cases, but I’d be lying if I tried to say I called this. It’s so much worse.
I must try this abomination
Here is a man with more simple moral integrity & courage that the vast bulk of Dem electeds & pundits.
I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.
Thank you!! I’ll even get to be in the north and midlands, which is a change from the usual!
I also think it’s amazing that the same store sells both my favorite hummus and my favorite bras
Just so, so delicious. Whenever I’m in the UK or Ireland, it’s pretty much the first thing I get 😅
I will! And ooh gosh lemon curd flavored everything, GIMME
I’m going to the UK on Sunday, and you know what that means
M&S caramelized onion hummus and oatcakes EVERY DAY
Thank you so much!!!
You’ll meet some sharks! They’re just friend, not foe. Cables and sharks even share a common threat, in commercial fishing!
Called again and got through to humans in Schumer's and Gillibrand's office right now. Call your senators, friends. Do it today.
Unexpectedly have some availability! Let me know if you’d need content strategy, UCD coaching and training, or content design support, I’d be happy to help if and where I can.
Every word of that sentence was a big surprise
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump says he's replacing Homeland Security Secretary Noem with GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin.
Wait, the song worked? Noem is out?
The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
Tell me a random fact about yourself that sounds fake but is 100% true.
Amazing how all the current GOP group chats inevitably devolve into the worst Nazi aspects of 8chan, surely this isn’t a sign of what the party has morphed into
RIP Baudrillard you would've loved this episode of imperial decline

In just two months, Zohran Mamdani has:
-Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program
-Rolled Trump into releasing a detained Columbia student
-Used fair wages to get New Yorkers to clear streets and sidewalks during a blizzard
FYI: This is what leadership looks like.
Your work is awesome! (But you probably know that :))
This sounds like my jam! I love following Paws from afar, though 😍
