Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

SICK of people saying they want the old UK back. We ALL do. WE want same day GP appointments, ambulances within mins, dentists, a decent police force, good education, affordable food, clean water ways, BUT it's not migrants who caused this. It was 14 YEARS of Tory austerity! It's corporations being put first and the people being put last. It's capitalist GREED.

Reform UK has just unveiled a new policy threatening to target immigrants in Green controlled areas. This is a threat, plain and simple. It's a lot of fancy words for "give us power or else we will destroy the lives of immigrants in your community". They know they'll never win over anyone with a fucking spine or basic moral compass so they've resorted to intimidation tactics and mask off Trumpian policies. It's revolting.

If you live in the United Kingdom, make sure you're registered to vote in local elections on May 7th. If you're in Wales Plaid Cymru is the favoured to win and if you're in England it's Greens, but check your local polling to see who gives you the best chance of beating Reform.

We can't let these snivelling scumfucks use the lives of innocent people as nothing more than a bargaining chip

[mysticalcats]

it's really gross how you can be self aware enough to know what's going on in your head but you can't actually stop it from happening. i need to grab it like a pigeon that got stuck in a house and throw it out the window. be free

I don’t like life. I am not grateful to my parents for giving it to me. Life is like an heirloom parrot that requires a ridiculously large enclosure and calls me slurs and bites me and costs me thousands of dollars in upkeep and vet bills but because I inherited this stupid bird and I have known it all my days, I refuse to give it up. Not something I would choose for myself but something I must keep and endure the misery of it out of love and obligation. Maybe one day the parrot and I will get along but for now I am caring for it and we are uneasily coexisting.

[byjove]

Everyday, I wake up and I feed the bird and I clean her cage and I try to talk to her and admire her pretty plumage because I am not cruel. But I am not happy.

I feel like we need to talk more about how fucking boring depression can be. I pick up a book and can’t read more than a few sentences, a chapter if I’m lucky, before I can’t focus. I knit two rows of something and then can’t continue. I scroll through all the different options of shows I haven’t watched without clicking on any of them. I hop from app to app looking for content that will spark literally any single emotion. It’s not even 10am and I already feel like I’m just waiting until it’s time to go back to bed.

I hate it I hate it I hate it

[becherdireinen]

nobody talks about how exhausting it is to live in that space between "things will get better" and "i can't handle this anymore." it's like your emotions are constantly swinging. leaving you both hopeful and defeated in the same day.

if something fundamental in me wasn’t missing i would be so fun to be around

all i want for 2026 is that gigantic rancid AI bubble to finally burst in such a catastrophic way that the consequences will be so good and i'll never have to see another AI generated image ever again
