While this is true, I keep thinking of a comment that an Australian conservative pundit made a few years ago during an election where the conservative party was losing badly. I can't quote the exact phrasing, but it was basically ‘people don't become conservative when they have nothing to conserve’.

The system has failed the majority of millennials in a way that it didn't fail the majority of those three previous generations. Even accounting for the fact that some of that conservative shift is that poorer (and thus left leaning folk) are more likely to die young, thus meaning the proportion of survivors that are conservative increases, there is no motivation for millennials to embrace conservatism.

We don't have houses. We live in a labour market that's far more unstable than it was for our parents, and are less likely to have been able to sit comfortably in one job our whole lives.

Most of us have nothing to conserve.

we all have at least one friend who's always like I want a relationship <3 but they're living in some kind of shed on a mountain #ComeDownFromYourShed

[eroscestlavie]

the things you must do to find a relationship = know more than 3 people. and come down from your shed #YourShed #3People

Like in the USA, queer british history is tied to black british history. Unlike the USA we never hear their names

It's black history month in the UK, but no child I know of has been taught about black queer history.

So join me in learning about it.

Learn about Pearl Alcock who set up the only gay bar in brixton at the time as a refuge for black gay men.

Ted Brown one of the organisers of the first UK pride rallys in 1974

Justin Fashanu the first openly gay footballer in 1990.

The fact that the UK GLF was inspired by the black panthers revolutionary convention in 1970.

Or Ivor Cummings "the gay father of the windrush generation"

How many more generations will be denied Black queer history before we take action?

When we understand that our history is diverse, it changes our outlook. I hope that this Black History Month, we all take the time to uncove

I'm sure there are 100s more names to go on this list, but I don't know them. I can't find them. Kinda the point if racism and homophobia tho isn't it? To hide the culture and history of black queer people, to make black queer people feel like their alone, feel like there was noone who came before to look up to and be seen by.

Over in America February is black history month, but here in the UK February is queer history month. So what better time to highlight this article about the black queers we never learn about

Victory Amps, which is based in the UK, started researching accessibility when they were building a customised amplifier for guitarist, and social-media personality, Anthony Ferraro.

He had reached out, asking if he could try an amplifier in their existing lineup, but Victory wanted to build him an amp that was entirely accessible.

They released a statement that said:

“We researched accessibility in musical equipment and were shocked by how little existed – especially in guitar amplification. So, we learned braille standards, spacing rules and dot heights, developed a custom embossing process, and rebuilt the front and rear panels of the Duchess MKII V40 so every control could be understood by touch alone – without compromising tone, feel or design.”

They sent the customised amplifier to Anthony, along with a letter in braille that explained what they had done.

Yesterday they announced that braille panel options will be available to everyone at no extra cost. They will also be donating a portion of each sale to a “UK registered blind charity chosen by Anthony.”

Size comparison between the ship depicted here, the RMS Queen Mary, and the biggest cruise ship of today, the Icon of the Seas

[charlesoberonn]

Fun fact: During WW2, the Queen Mary was converted to a troopship to convey allied soldiers across the Atlantic. It was then that it broke the record for the most people on one vessel at the same time, at 16,600, a record it still holds to this day.
