I’ve never been the Africa but I’ve read and been told by people who have, that they absolutely loved President Bush there. Now China and Russia are there trying to take credit for our hard work and cause the continent to spiral again.

How can you be so out of touch with the world and still speak with the utmost confidence. Western aid has always been a poison chalice, exchanging meagre support in crises the West created in return for handing over control of their natural resources.

Look at the shit they helped Monsanto do to Burkina Faso’s agriculture and tell me again that the US helped Africa. Look at how Bill Gates undermined malaria eradication. Tell me what countries own gold mines in Africa. You bled them dry and expect loyalty in return.

-ass infantilising dicks.

I don’t wear skirts (partly 'cos I hate them, partly 'cos I’m a little dwt cursed to always be climbing stuff to reach the high shelves and it just isn’t practical to wear them), that said - if shorts length is in anyway comparable I’m occupying a missing space somewhat further to the left than “Satan’s Daughter”.

Wrecsam (English - Wrexham) is an ex-mining town (that recently got promoted to a city) in North Wales. Gresford is a nearby village where an infamous mining disaster occurred. I wouldn’t recommend visiting either of them.

So not only do I fuck up my interview but I find out I’ve traveled all the way to Wrecsam for a job that’s bank only anyway.

I had a look around town and honestly Wrecsam is the worst place I’ve ever been. Hiking to Gresford to view the mining disaster memorial killed some time but otherwise there’s fuck all to do around here. I can’t leave until tomorrow so I guess it’s sitting around feeling sorry for myself time.

It’s the wall the Romanovs were lined up against when they were executed by the Bolsheviks.

Edit: here’s the image it was cropped from.

Dewi Sant’s miracle was getting God to help the Welsh kill English better.

I got my blood drawn for HRT back in February, I don’t know what they’ve done with it.

The good:

• I took a picture of myself last week and it didn’t make me feel completely terrible.

• I’m gonna be starting voice training again.

The bad:

• I still don’t know what fuck-ups are keeping me from my HRT, doctor at the gender clinic says I shoulda heard back months ago, but also hasn’t had word of me not attending the initial appointment to talk about prescriptions so it seems the local gender team forgot about me or something. She’s asking around but, it looks like I gotta go knock some heads again (metaphorically).

The meh:

• I’m outta town for most of this week, so if the WGS tries to contact me via housephone (I’ve told 'em not to but they still do on occasion) there’s probably gonna be some confusion from whoever answers the phone.

I’d be concerned it’d become a skep instead.

What’s the name for that trope, where a black character will be written into fiction for the sole purpose of helping the white protagonist (usually by acting as the author’s mouthpiece)?

This woman seems to’ve melded her very being with it.

He got woke on trans rights before I was even out to him. One day he noticed all the Blairites in the local CLP were all pushing a similar line on trans people (a really shitty TERF one). If a Blairite told him water was wet, he’d ask for a second opinion. So he read around, and talked to trans people, and got a more informed view mostly in an attempt to call them out on their bullshit.

I’m just in awe of the man becoming a more supportive parent accidentally in his mission to spite liberals.

“Who the fuck are any of these?”

I guess sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Those are two different comments you disingenuous toad.

There was this PSA film that I was shown in school when I was a little one. I can’t remember what it was about, only something that happened close to the end.

These two women are arguing in the middle of a street with your typical PSA quality acting, and then one of them swings for the other. I guess she was just supposed to be knocked over by the punch but instead she does a 360 degree spin and spreads her arms out so she falls in the middle of the road, posed like Jesus on a crucifix. To this day I have to bite my tongue around Catholics 'cos I see the little Jesus (jesuses? jesi? Jeese? Jesopods?) on their necklaces and get flashbacks to that over-acted punch on start to lose it.

There were (as far as I’m aware) two different baked bean themed candidates running for parliament this year.

The other one, Captain Beany, ran in Maesteg.

Yep.

For example, they lost the Tory marginal seat of Dyffryn Clwyd 'cos they had the brain genius idea of merging it into Wrecsam.
