When I think ahead these days or talk to the kids about plans and ambitions, I get this nagging sense of futility which brings me to a silent halt. Anyone else get the same feeling?

I've even stopped fighting the local council ars*h*les who want to build some overpriced lego houses on arable land, calling it progress. I now want to see their equipment drown in the flood they'll create when they open the water table.

I watched Tower Bridge washed away in a surge tide in my dream last night. I watched with a mix of horror and resignation, knowing my own govt building would be next, and that was it and no one was coming to help.

I interrogate my relationship with manhood and masculinity. I understand that even if I personally don't do things to make life more difficult for women, that the default is that I benefit from millenia of baked in systems and expectations. I didn't create these systems, but as a beneficiary, I have a responsibility to move them towards balance.

I fundamentally don't believe that we can address sexism and misogyny by giving women extra stuff to do. Men have to do the work.

Why can't family life, and work life both be good at the same time?

Work is good but my household is just shittingly awful right now.

over the daily tweet limit???

More bs on that other site. I already barely use it.

Elijah McCoy was born in 1844 in Ontario to formerly-enslaved parents from Kentucky. They saved enough to send him to Scotland to study mechanical #engineering. When he returned and couldn't get work in his field, he took a job as a train oilman and invented a method of automatic lubrication that eliminated the frequent stops trains had to make to oil up axles & bearings. Railroad companies asking for his product rather than copycat devices spawned the phrase "the real McCoy." #BlackHistoryMonth

Suella Braverman, who called asylum seekers "invaders" then doubled down with the far-right narratives when questioned by a holocaust survivor, is now trying rob asylum seekers of human rights and legal protection

The Full Clip of Suella Braverman Just Highlights How Unfit for Office She is
