personally I didn't think the original photo reflected that badly on her, i mean who wouldn't have their soul leave their body on walking into Wally Wanker's Chocolate Experience or whatever. but yes still being able to force yourself to try to do something, anything for the kids in the middle of an utter garbage fire is still very admirable

Of course I would never be cynical about the motivations of George Galloway, but it does seem that a general election soon would be his best chances of keeping the seat, all the press he got being fresh in people's minds and Labour having less time to select an alternative candidate and all

the lower the tories get in the polls, the more clear the case is for voting snp. because it would be really funny to have them have more seats than the tories.

sadly this logic means that the rest of the UK also has reason to vote for the lib dems, a terrifying thought

my pessimistic side says labour are going to run a boring suit for rochdale in the general, win, and then declare everything is fine and this has proven they don't have to do care about palestine ever again. bonus points for said boring suit saying a few nice things about a ceasefire during the election and then never mentioning it again the moment they get a big majority

About ten years ago (christ...) when I first worked in an office I kept wondering what that weird old-computer-looking thing was in one corner that nobody ever seemed to use. Turned out it was an old microfilm reader - I had never seen one of them before in my life. I wonder if it ever got used since then.

I would assume it would just become a second vote on whether people like the tories, to which the current answer is "not the blue ones, no". suddenly putting through a referendum on the same day as an election is going to look sus to basically everyone anyway. this is the kind of brilliant strategising i expect from the 2024 tories

i like the turned into a gigantic insect idea. i would respect her more if this happened. i would respect all the royals more if they were insects. in fact let's replace the royals with a big collection of insects. a giant insect house will be great for the tourists. we can genetically engineer them with our great british ingenuity. and then threaten to release them upon our enemies. we can use their wise insect hiveminds to advise us on great matters of import. they have wisdom we can only dream of. let's replace the house of lords with insects. let's replace the prime minister. let's let them into our homes. let's let them burrow into our skin. it's so comfortable. it only hurts a little. only at first. let them into your ears

probably an obvious thing they're doing already or have already looked into, but if it's discrimination/hatred towards a specific group then it might be possible to find groups nearby either just supporting each other or actively campaigning/doing something. like it doesn't have to be immediately overthrowing the government, even small orgs helping out or mutual aid kind of things can both actually help and also help you emotionally by making you feel less helpless. this of course massively depends on what's in their area and what their capabilities are.

this answer of course comes from my own experiences As A Trans - even if the national government is shite on trans stuff I can still try to find trans people I know and try to do what I can, even if that's just saying hi and being another trans person in the room as we help each other feel less alone in transness. this doesn't completely destroy my worries about the state of the country of course, but it can make a dark day a little bit less so.

e: I realise on reading back this is more advice for the other person than for you specifically. On that front I don't have much good advice beyond what Jaeluni said
