Here's to Christina Ricci for positively WRECKING Aston Kutcher and Mila Kunis for tacitly denying Danny Masterson is a serial rapist (and giving a half assed non apology) without ever addressing them directly. A queen.
ALT A screenshot from christina Ricci's instagram story that says, So sometimes people we have loved and admired do horrible things. They might not do these things to us. And we only know who they were to us. But that doesn't mean they didn't do the horrible things. And to discredit the abused is a crime.
ALT A screenshot from christina ricci's instagram story. Unfortunately, I've known lots of awesome guys who were lovely to me. Who have been proven to be abusers privately. I've also had personal experience with this. Believe victims. It's not easy to come forward. It's not easy to get a conviction.

So successful has white supremacist patriarchy been at convincing white women that they’re lucky to live in the U.S. and not Saudi Arabia/Iran, that so many did not pay enough attention to the theocracy that white supremacy was building right here at home. feministgiant.com/p/if-amy-c…

In the UK, we have a very serious problem with how we consider the importance of our creative industries and cultural sector.
Here’s @guardian describing one of the most important jobs in government as ‘one of the more fun roles’

Our broken electoral system has delivered a disproportionate number of Conservative party victories, even though they haven’t won a majority of the popular vote in any election since 1935.

Once upon a time humans were sacrificed to appease gods.
In Tory Britain people are sacrificed to appease the 1% and defunct economic theories.
Millions have died from austerity, poverty, degradation of the NHS & public services.
Few seem concerned.

In 1987 we sold BP for £7.2bn it has since made £420bn.
In 1989 we sold the Water Companies for £8.1bn they have since made £152bn.
We sold 70% of Royal Mail for £1.98bn within 24 hours it was worth £5bn.
Privatisation was blatant robbery they should all be in jail.

how many killers have to graduate from a course of independent study at the lone wolf academy of racism before we turn our collective attention to the people writing the curriculum?

Transphobes need to stop using their bigoted shit to discuss the Hermoso sexual assault. He didn’t enter a woman’s “safe space.” Rubiales sexually assaulted her in front of the entire world after her team won the World Cup. CIS MEN do this shit IN FRONT OF THE WORLD.

The Prime Minister’s rabid support for defunding criminal justice means that rape cases now wait five years for a trial.
We don’t have enough courts, judges, lawyers or staff. Record backlogs, record delays. Lives on hold for years.
Public safety a top priority? Prove it.
❝It’s my top priority to keep the British public safe – and I will do whatever it takes to make that happen.❞
Today Prime Minister @RishiSunak announced changes to sentencing laws to take violent offenders off our streets.
Here’s how ⬇️
ALT Whole life orders mandatory for the most serious types of murder Expand the list of murders to which these sentences apply Judges must impose these sentences unless there are exceptional circumstances

There's a saying that 'Sure he (Fred Astaire) was great, but don't forget that Ginger Rogers did everything he did…backwards and in high heels.’
I say 'Sure male footballers are great, but don't forget that the women do everything they do, and navigate patriarchal fuckery."

Fuck off. Truly. "Hard to say there's any sort of ill intent here?" Fuck off some more. Sure in France they kiss just to say hello. Tell me--does your male boss kiss you on the mouth just to say hello. As I said, fuck off.

If you want to know why women don't report assaults, a footballer was kissed against her will in front of millions worldwide, the guy who did it didn't resign & gave a completely different version of events than those caught on camera & people are still debating what happened.

Would you look at that…
A new ruling means MPs who lose their seats will get 4 months pay instead of 2
It’s just in time for all those Tories expected to lose their seats
From 365 to 45
(if polls are to be believed)
So this new ruling will cost £2.3m

thing about landlords, as with most leaches, is they're happy to rake in the profits when times are good but deeply aggrieved to take any of the losses when things are bad.
if you use housing as an investment, you should be forced to take the losses not pass it on to renters.
