Time for a proper introduction. I am a literature teacher, mostly retired. I love reading, music, baking, nature & cats. I am learning to boost a lot, which includes my passion for a truly inclusive world, so lots of support for Black, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, Women, Working Class, & other rights. I understand users who want Mastodon to be a quiet corner, but I am more concerned about what happens if we look the other way when people suffer.

Last Notes npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook More than 5000 wounded! That’s more than 100 people per day, shot for being desperate for food, by the people starving them. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook Whenever I see Starmer, I think “England prevails”, he’s so like the grubby little fascists in V for Vendetta. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook Despite its appalling history, I have never been so ashamed to be a UK national. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook Appropriate selfie for child murdering Zionists. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook As a fellow mastodon social user, I wonder if you know that your posts are often half-hidden under other posts on the Mastodon app? Aral Balkan was criticizing the instance’s pro-Israeli bias. Perhaps it’s time we looked for another instance? npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook Because Liberals always serve the same interest groups as Conservatives… npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook The right media attacked him on two grounds; appearance and communist Russia. The same approach was used with Corbyn, until they used AS to get rid of him. The power of propaganda wins elections. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook I have made this point many times. Israel Zangwill disagreed with Herzl’s plan for settling Palestine when he found out how many people lived there. Zangwill was a foundational Zionist, but he changed to favour a homeland in South America in order to avoid displacing Palestinians. Zangwill knew; therefore, Herzl knew. He just didn’t care. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook Courageous and principled. You’re an excellent example. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook If not for Japan, the US would never have fought Hitler. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook I’m an old school socialist. I have some sympathy with anarchism, while also having some questions. I’ve encountered some pretty right-wing capitalist-anarchists, who, like Musk, want to dismantle the state to enable greater corporate predation. Class-consciousness is essential, in my opinion. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook A lot of this is the hangover of how effective McCarthyism was. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook You would think by now that “liberals” would have realized that the strategy of giving right-wingers what they want so that the right doesn’t win actually means that the right has *already* won. One does not stop fascism by doing fascists’ work for them. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook Where are the Trade Unions? It’s clear (and has been clear since Starmer took over) that this version of the party cares nothing for the workers, the retired, the sick, the poor,… The party is supposed to be the political arm of the Trades Union movement. Where is the Union action? Where is the threat of defunding? Is there nobody left in Britain that gives tuppence for the working class? npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook The world’s self-described greatest democracy showing that it can’t protect itself from a grubby gang of con-men… npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook And now I understand why you blame the electorate. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook Sadly, I’m not sure that it is the reality anymore. I imagine that the appalling corruption of the USian two party state is about to mutate into something worse. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook The Democrats weren’t really opposing the status quo, were they? npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook A quarter of a million old folk should have enough kids and grandkids to put fear into this wooden fake socialist. It’s about time Brits reminded the Labour government that it is there to serve the people. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook Make them useful. Plant a tree on top of every billionaire grave. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook Bearwashing? npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook At a slight tangent, Japan’s experience of Western design is beautifully captured at Meiji Mura. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook How about the US, arming and supporting this behaviour? npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook Both seem to be doing fine with Biden… npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook Agreed. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook I’ve just read Jack London’s ringside report on the Johnson vs Jeffries fight in 1910. Johnson’s importance to black people cannot be overlooked. And I think that is also true of Bruno, Conteh,… npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook I am sorry that you think my comment is ridiculous. It was not meant to demean, in any way, a wonderful journalist’s achievements in horrific conditions. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook Same day as the country of the awards ceremony gives $8.7 billion in military aid to the country murdering Bisan’s people, hidden behind the US President calling for a ceasefire. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook Worldwide. Just one of the USian problems that doesn’t stop at the border. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook At the point that he described the Labour front bench as “formidable”, I also realized what his handle is telling us. Not w/c, and possibly a bit of a troll. I’d mute him. He has nothing to contribute to the exchange of ideas. npub1yjajwaucs63dx7na373d4n0vr667wlsptzm46qw94rlkzcmj54hqu2x00s A Tattered Scrapbook The slow motion apocalypse. Again.
