Please tell Sadiq Khan not to fuel transphobia by allowing JK Rowling Xmas lights in London. What a killer of seasonal joy that would be! https://action.goodlawproject.org/sadiq-khan-pull-the-plug-on-transphobia

The best alternative to supporting vicious transphobia by buying Harry Potter is to read Ursula K Le Guin's Earthsea books, which are magical, good-hearted, beautifully written, and rooted in anthropology. Please don't buy anything Harry Potter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthsea

Technology was supposed to give us all lives of luxury, ease, and time for creativity and learning. What have we got instead? Poverty, evil billionaires, government capture, poor management, and the collapse of cultural life. https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/university-nottingham-set-cut-600-10933176

@brianbilston@mastodon.online It's not anarchy that's been let loose--anarchy is a theory of organisation without the state. It's authoritarianism and fascism, which is staunchly opposed by all forms of anarchism, even the right-wing ones.
