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.”

my problem is if i enjoy something enough i will be nitpicking. i Will have things to say about where and how it failed. out of nothing but love straight from my heart. unfortunately this often makes me indistinguishable from a hater who has never experienced joy or kindness. such is the amateur critic's burden.

all of my favourite things are like beautiful racehorses that trip over their own feet a hundred times. but they get back up again. and goddamn, you should see them run.

giving unread book back to the library makes me feel like i should be shot

[unsentimentaltranslator]

The fact that some people say things like this while other people think it’s totally fine to starve children is something that really should be talked about more.

[girlbloke]

Roman Roy whose father calls him Romulus, after the legendary founder of Rome, but doesn’t trust him to handle anything in his own empire without handlers to steady his wavering hands. Roman Roy who talks like a sex fiend but has almost no interest in being touched and almost never takes anyone to bed. Roman Roy who is as fragile as a china doll but acts like the bull charging through the store instead. Roman Roy, you iconic mess.

Stop making this about you. It's not about you! I'm sorry, but I am not the reason that you don't have any friends. It's because you're fucking insane. Okay? Your little party? It almost killed everyone. And now you've ruined book club.

you have permission to pick that 2 year old "abandoned" project back up. it's not mad at you for setting it aside. and maybe time and distance have helped ease or erase the things that made you put it down in the first place.

Here’s the thing about colonizers: they love a quote unquote uninhabited island.

Here’s the thing about islands: they are never uninhabited for the whole of their existence. There is no ‘pure, unspoiled’ wilderness.

At some point, someone lived there. They may have then decided it was a fuckhole and left (see the original Jamestown site for an example of this) or been driven off by other people (see uh, most of the United States for this).

My point is, there’s generally a very good reason an uninhabited island is uninhabited at the time a boat of forty three idiot white settlers show up.

Someone lived on Widow’s Bay before Richard Warren showed up, mark my words. And I sincerely doubt that someone ceded it to him happily or without a heavy price to either side of the transaction. Also, consider just WHY they call it Widow’s Bay, and that painting in the inn. Think long and hard, and the horror will grow strong.

If you ask me I don't want "good Christians" in government to counter the "bad Christians" I just want a separation of church and state like they promised us in third grade
