Tijuana Bibliophile posted:I woke up at night a week or so ago, and I heard a blackbird training. I keep half an ear open for blackbird song at all times since I love it and it's how I determine that "gently caress the weather, birb sings means it's spring", but beyond that, what made me remember it is how bad his singing was. It was still recognisably blackbird song, but he sang only short phrases of a few notes, nowhere close to the length, width or expressiveness that a good songbird can pull off. So he's probably hatched this year, and grown up listening to his daddy's singing, convinced that he's gonna be every bit as good as him when he grows up. Wonder if it's stressful when you're just starting out, discovering that far from being easy, singing is tricky and laborious and hard, when it's the only hope you've got of getting a home and attracting a mate I'm a trans woman, and I've been struggling with voice therapy for the last year, and this really speaks to me

mediadave posted:Ugh, I'm a failure. I went to Reading today to volunteer with helping Labour, and had the idea to bring cakes and biscuits as a conversation starter as like many goons I'm socially awkward (and no one from Labour Reading had replied to my email). Instead I turned up to the stall, spoke to one guy saying I'd brought them some cakes and biscuits to keep their spirits up, he told me to talk to the other guy on the stall, and that guy looked at my offering like I'd brought them a bucket of cold vomit. Neither showed any interest in talking to me...at all, so after some awkward moments I just wandered off and spent the rest of the afternoon kicking myself. Did send a bit more money Labour and momentum's way though. Don't be so hard on yourself

Price, Berry, and Sturgeon did well there I thought. Farage probably polled well amongst twats. Sunak was poo poo, and was just rattling off scripted moments, he looked completely lost otherwise. Swinson didn't embarrass herself too much, I guess. Burgon had some major ups and downs, I don't think the crowd warmed up to him

How many grey squirrels would you have to actually kill before the red squirrels recovered their numbers? Isn't it more realistic to just accept that we have grey squirrels now, and move on

bessantj posted:Well he seems awful but I don't think he put the report together. I do wish Labour had been more forceful in responding to the Antisemitism bollocks. Is there anything Labour could do to actually put this issue to bed? It's not being put forward by people who are acting in good faith. The more we do to exonerate ourselves, the more they'll just twist our actions against us. "See? Labour are investigating. No smoke without fire!" If any of these people were genuine about rooting out these issues, why are they giving Bojo a free pass on "watermelon smiles", "letter boxes", "piccaninnies" et cetera

In regards to pessimism chat, it's worth remembering that the reason we're having this election is because the Tories were a zombie government, Johnson is the worst PM on record, and everything Cum Tzu tried hilariously backfired. Even if they win they're going to fall flat on their faces and get VoNC'd within 3 months

As a North Wales native I can 100% confirm this. As a kid my parents told me that Liverpool council would rehome the problem tenants near us

I'm in one of the Extinction Rebellion private groups on Facebook, and I'm happy to see a flood of posts over the last week supporting Labour. The consensus seems to be that while the movement isn't supposed to be political, the environment is a political issue (duh) and Labour is the only real route to implementing the necessary changes. It's nice watching them very slowly radicalise

Miftan posted:I'm incredibly anxious and incredibly thankful for this community. I've been very emotional the last 2 days and it'll probably only get worse. This makes no sense because I know that this election is only a small step. It'll help a lot of people if Labour get in, but it's only the start. Make no mistake, there's a storm coming. It could be tomorrow, it could be in a few years when Labour win or it could be in 50 years when the climate crisis hits us in the face, but it's coming. At that point, it will be either us or the nazis and it's our duty to make sure that those not yet born don't scorn us for not acting. Do what you can, even if it's very little. Some of us can't help. That's okay. You're all precious comrades and knowing you're with us in spirit is enough. It sustains us because communities are important. It might not be on Thursday (although it loving just might be!), but we will win. It's a matter of keeping the torch lit until we get there and putting in the work to help those less fortunate than ourselves.
