Tesseraction posted:lol Graun 'fact checking' if Labour will really save us £6700 a year and the conclusion is 'iunno, depends innit?' I read that article, its because they don't want to say that yes, this will actually save people thousands of pounds every year but the numbers are generally solid so they cant find much in the way of threads to pull. [e] 50 is the number of seats the Tories will lose in Parliament.

Yeah, it's hilarious how Chakrabortty or Monbiot or Elliot will be able to talk about how Labour's infrastructure or environment or overall economic policy will work, its strengths and weaknesses, the Graun's editorial staff just go "buhhhhhhh corBAD" and file.

There's a lot to be said about voices, speech patterns and socialisation, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to go into depth about it. As I understand it, women are socialised to speak from an upper part of their vocal range and men from a lower part, but the actual difference in average vocal range between them is smaller than you might think. There's also the thorny issue of how trans people relate to their voices. Trans men can take hormones to deepen their voices (but certainly shouldn't have to if they don't want to!) but trans women may have already gone through puberty and had irreversible changes to their voices. Vocal coaching is a thing, but it's not routinely funded by the NHS, and general support for trans and nonbinary people is absolutely shameful in the UK. Trans people have a lot to say about the Gender Identity Clinic, almost none of it good. It's underfunded even by the standards of the NHS right now, it's vastly understaffed and some of those staff are entirely the wrong kinds of people to be doing their jobs. It's regarded by many as more of a gatekeeper than anything else. It's genuinely sickening  Someone said that being tall was their only source of confidence growing up, and I can relate to that. My voice was sort of the same for me. It was deep and resonant, and that made me feel good about myself at a time when I mostly felt terrible. There's nothing wrong with drawing confidence from something you like about yourself, as long as you don't use it against others. But that's just being a decent person

All of them told us they weren’t voting for us the last 2 elections. It’s just a learned response at this point. There's a woman on my sister's FB who whenever my sister posts pro-Corbyn stuff writes a comment that 'I won't vote Labour while Corbyn is leader'. On another bit of FB - our local town group - she's always posting that she's a life long LibDem voter. It's like all those folk who wrote that letter to the Graun such as Joanna Lumley - bezzie mates with Johnson - who 'won't vote labour because of Corbyn and anti-semitism' when they've never voted Labour and never will vote Labour in their whole entire lives.

"But I don't understand why I am being unfairly called out about this" I say as I force feed more poor people into the gaping maw of capital so that I can continue to write editorials. "It just seems so unfair" one opines as they put down homeless spikes outside of tesco so that they don't have to see the results of their own feckless narrative. "I'm a human being" another says as they pretend that everything happening in a foreign country isn't anything to do with them whilst wearing a shirt saying "Bombs away". Why is it that being human is always conditional on being just like these feckless sacks of poo poo rather than being human.

I know why she doesn't apologise. Why doesn't she just apologise? Its the easiest decision in the world to try to distance themselves now from the party then. There is absolutely no downside.
