i can't remember the exact name of the account, but there's an account on Instagram that posts welsh memes and you start watching a reel and you think "haha" at first but it gets past the first bit and you're like "hmm this seems a little too focused on a more nationalism side of things". then i check the pfp and im like "i swear that symbol looks familiar.... is it that one fascist racist nationalist welsh independence group?" but im not entirely sure and i didn't remember the name of the group, so i just decided to not interact w any of their videos in my feed and scroll past real fast

anyway one of their videos came up again and it turns out the account IS that one group (people have talked about it on here before, eryr wen I think?) so now i am blocking them so they don't show up anymore

If I see one more naive white queer speaking over actual Chinese queers people and proclaiming xiaohongshu/rednote or even China in general is somehow a fucking wonderland incapable of violent bigotry I’m gonna explode

1) a lot of the queer related tags have suddenly become usable again after the great migration

2) the #le tag for lesbians literally comes from the #lesbian and #les tags being banned so to act

3) the welcome you’re receiving by chinese people isn’t what actual Chinese queers have experienced (we experience a bombardment of loud angry homophobes/transphobes every single fucking day) and every single Chinese queer I know has been ranting about this for days. Unfortunately a lot of people are hypocrites who are only nice to the guests in the house

4) not only is this rhetoric of don’t ask don’t tell being the main consensus in China FALSE (I don’t even want to get into the media’s suppression of hate crimes and how many queer activism accounts are being banned left and right), passive queerphobia is still FUCKING QUEERPHOBIA…

The audacity to come into OUR HOUSE and speak over us after 3 days of being pampered on this app just for being western is vile and so fucking demoralising because we’ve been yelling about our condition for so long and you guys would rather not miss out on social media brainrot than to actually apply some nuance for once… you guys wanted to distance from the sinophobic propaganda take of China being unequivocally evil so bad that you’ve swung to the other end

i mean. ai is bad and we all know that but uh. the bbc headline about keir's new plan for ai in the uk was something along the lines of "government reveals plans to unleash ai on the uk" and it's like. come on. if you're describing your own plan like that surely you can see that it sounds like the backstory to a cyberpunk dystopia?? iesu grist. bobl bach. ych a fi, even

Just a reminder of how shit it is here. Even if there wasn't a cost of living crisis and fuel crisis, the UK has some of the worst homes in Europe. For a long time I just assumed everywhere was like this, but it's not 🙃

This is a result of the inhumane decisions that members of this administration want you to be silent about in public for fear of a loss of “civility”.

the most depressing part is that it's not even kamala's stance on genocide that is costing her the elections. i wish it were. it's people genuinely shifting for trump. but it's the pro-palestine movement that's going to get the blame for it.

how much will the US election result impact the political climate of the UK?

It’s not due to the US election, but Labour support is collapsing across the country.

Trump is likely to use his presidency to platform and elevate Nigel Farage and therefore the Reform party.

We’ve all got our work cut out for us.
