- Reposted by Joanne LimburgContext: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.
- Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

- Reposted by Joanne Limburgthe Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

- Reposted by Joanne LimburgChomsky’s casual misogyny with Epstein says a lot about what counts as left wing. This is a guy who co-wrote an entire book about the press manufacturing consent without once mentioning patriarchy (or white supremacy). We need a definition of ‘left’ that doesn’t center the concerns of white men.
- Reposted by Joanne LimburgThis is a good observation. People voted brexit because they wanted change on that day, but the actual effect was in the future. This future. It's very hard to engage with brexit publically because giving dire news is not what people want from figures who are meant to exude reassurance

- Reposted by Joanne LimburgDevastatingly sad. Every Labour MP should be forced to read this. In fact, every MP, who rushed back to Parliament to vote to save one steel mill, whilst hastening the collapse of dozens of universities - and harming the students, staff, communities and economies universities sustain and support

Everyone is deserving of shelter, food, healthcare and social supports. No one should have to “earn them”. When basic needs are met, society is better off.
- @zackpolanski.bsky.social Hi. What’s your party’s take on the decimation of higher education in the UK?

- Reposted by Joanne LimburgThe Tory dismantling of high education structures inevitably meant the decimation of local universities and campuses, sooner or later. The Labour government decided to continue Tory policies, so it happens on their watch.

- Reposted by Joanne LimburgFor the Lords to force this to fail would be an outrage. It's clear that, for some, no version of the bill would be acceptable. That and the manner of amendments and delay shows that it is not merely extra scrutiny, it is deliberately undermining the Commons decision.
- EXC - MPs and peers who backed the assisted dying bill now believe it is “near impossible” for it to pass the House of Lords in time because of procedural obstacles used by opponents. “It is our system at its absolute most dysfunctional,” one MP said. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
