the saddest part about england becoming the hellhole that it is under tory rule and presumably not getting much better when labour win the election (wrt trans rights, immigrant rights, disability rights) is that despite all the horror i don’t want to live anywhere else. i don’t want to sound patriotic and we have a disgusting colonial history inextricable from any culture that we have produced in the past 500 years but i still love it here somehow. an outsider here inevitably, but is that any different to living as an autistic queer person in any other country in that respect? i like the weird small towns that all look exactly the same the old village churches the fields with the cows and hedges and ancient footpaths and the music all the punk and goth and britpop and bad movies and worse tv and classic literature that is perhaps only slightly overrated and i don’t want to be pushed out. i don’t want to have to emigrate again. yes russia is my heritage and i loved the experience of living there with my family for a couple of years before the war, but i was born in england after all so if anything’s a motherland, it’s her. as with any mother, we have an incredibly toxic relationship. but we better get things sorted out soon because it’s just getting worse

tldr: i love england the way one would love an abusive parent . the way grian from fontaines dc speaks about ireland in i love you

Honestly, after what sunak has been saying and how the tories are just going full mask off with their prejudice, anyone who votes for them still is suss af

In a world where discussions of immigration and national identity often spark controversy, Britain's history offers a complicated story that challenges certain nationalist and anti-immigration policies. From the ancient Romans to the post-World War II Windrush Generation, waves of immigrants have left an indelible mark on British culture.

Robert Winder's seminal work, “Bloody Foreigners,” sheds light on this rich tapestry of diversity, revealing how seemingly quintessential aspects of Britishness are, in fact, imports from other cultures.

Delving into Britain's multicultural past uncovers a story of resilience, adaptation and integration, where cultural exchanges have contributed to Britain's national identity. In fact, many aspects held dear as quintessentially "British" are actually cultural imports integrated into everyday life.

The Capture of Bagur, 1807 by George Chambers

On the night of the 6th August 1807 (at a time during the Napoleonic Wars when Spain was still France's ally) Captain George Mundy of HMS Hydra chased three armed Spanish merchantmen into the Catalonian port of Bagur (also called Begur, near Girona) and captured all three, while also taking the port's fortress.

not nearly enough people are fuming about the cass review. do you understand the eventual implications? trans people in the uk will be considered children up until the age of 25, and denied HRT/surgery/even basic measures like legal name change and social transition. all owing to a biased and largely unscientific study. you know what “treatment” for gender dysphoria is recommended by the review instead? conversion therapy.

this will kill people and they know it, because they prefer us dead and out of sight. the government, the NHS and even the opposition have made this clear again and again. a twenty-five year old can have sex, get married have children, join the military, earn a living, be halfway up the corporate ladder or highly successful in their chosen career field by that age, but they can’t transition under NHS rules. this is a death sentence for trans teenagers and they are going ahead with it. it’s trans genocide, same as across the pond.

i’m so afraid for my trans siblings and our futures. i’m so scared for myself. what are we to do if not even the party that is supposed to be on the “left” gives a shit about our safety and mental health as long as they get voted in? labour have become tories with a red coat of paint. it all feels hopeless
