Hey folks, i need a little help and I hate asking. I've had a sudden bill going out that was much bigger than anticipated. Im on a strict budget and could really do with a hand covering the shortfall. Its about £50 but anything helps, even shares etc #MutualAid #Helpsky www.paypal.me/MsDeathwish

I have…thoughts I think the critique of the use of a Ulster Scots imbued language for this being a liberal u unionist position is valid but it is still an overall fantastic translation of a great poem and making Beowulf more accessible is god’s work

Heaney’s ‘beowulf’

Not updated my reading on here for a while. With a bad taste in my mouth over Graham Platner and the actual continued attempts to defend him i decided to read Valerie Solanas’ ‘SCUM manifesto’ again. It’s a wild, satirical ride and, like, i don’t hate all her proposals…

The scum manifesto

I have read this twice before but just couldn’t power through its weird quirks for a third time and stopped 3/4 of the way through You should probably read it once as it is absolutely wild but it’s also a slog in places and seems long for a short book.

A powerful, ambivalent novel of the Harlem renaissance dealing primarily with race and sexuality where passing as white is mirrored by passing as hetrosexual. A highly recommended short work.

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame. Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.

Huge fires encompassing a street with buildings, cars and the majority of the street on fire with plumes of black smoke.

The wars of the past were often defined by a breakdown of communications, frightened people living in ignorance. In Gaza today, stories circulate fast. That's differently scary. It's a small country, so when a stranger dies, most people know someone personally affected. Samaa's family feel trapped.
