@vancssasbeckett And the remakes / reboots are always crap

'reboot' 'remake' 'spin-off' 'sequel' CAN YOU GUYS COME UP WITH SOMETHING ELSE

@FriendOfAstraea Also he’s a mayor…why would he have ANYTHING to do with matters of foreign policy let alone outside the city

I think y'all are shocked by this because you've all just gotten so used to blabbing nonstop about complex issues you don't really know anything about it, so now it's genuinely alien to you when a person admits they're not qualified to have an opinion on something.

@b1982lfc So this kind of meningitis which is common around young adults only emerged in 2015. Plus the vaccination does not guarantee permanent immunity. People have died, have some respect.

Do you realise how thick you are to not get your child vaccinated against meningitis 😂

@piece_m3rthur All of the Merlin costumes were so good, especially Morgana’s imo (although Gwen got much better costumes in later seasons)

Dress so iconic I've seen this shot so much when I searched for medieval aesthetic

@m1nhaxo Regardless of if I wore real gold or not I would still feel the need to take it off. Idk why. I just do. But I will admit it’s annoying

@mensrightsbunny Cause when has toxic femininity caused violence, murder, constant pushbacks for men…? These men can say whatever they want and face no consequences…destroying women’s lives through their influence.

You’ll never see a documentary about toxic femininity or Feminism. It’s always man bashing. The kicker is the picture; that arm around his neck is actually a symbolism for feminism #Subliminals

@rinasnights God forbid you don’t live in a town where the bus comes rarely 😐

i must live in a different uk 😭 bc here trains are extortionate never run or time or they are filled to the brim, in smaller towns trying to get a bus anywhere is like a guessing game sometimes they come sometimes they don’t especially at night !!

@TheNewRhyme @CromRedoubt Good luck! I’m sure you’ll do amazing!

@bl0om_2 @CromRedoubt my condition was really simple, getting 14 out of 20 in my baccalaureate degree

Fascinated by the idea of an American that goes to Leeds Arts University

@TheNewRhyme @CromRedoubt Curious what th conditions are for international students? Results wise as UK students take exams in the summer which offers are dependent on

@CromRedoubt ? Im African lol

@m_bee4 Sm1 explain

it’s getting ugly

@neilblackthorn Nah cause the map in that book is diabolical 💀

i can't wait for another book from the author whose entire core of worldbuilding is "imagine if england was opressed by ireland"

@littleoldcee @mournfulamb Mass market paperbacks are smaller editions of popular books which you can usually fit in a pocket or small bag comfortably They’re not the same as normal paperbacks which are still common

@mournfulamb I’m a bookseller and we have no shortage of paperbacks coming in. Where’d you here this?

it actually breaks my heart that they aren’t really going to produce mass paperbacks anymore

Ok, Americans, I am beginning to realise how badly misinformed you are on UK politics so let’s blitz this. 1. There is NO “welfare” in Britain. There are specific allowances and support systems in place for the vulnerable and deprived, but we call this benefits/universal credit. If you asked for the “welfare centre” here no one would know what you meant. It depends massively on where you live and what your situation is. 2. The NHS is not “welfare”. It’s not “what poor people have to do”. The vast majority of people use it. 3. You can’t get benefits in the UK unless you are legally allowed to stay here, are established as unable to work, facing extreme poverty, or are actively looking for work. You’d be given a leaflet on applying for jobs. 4. You can’t get council housing (welfare housing) in the UK unless you have no funds to support yourself in the private market AND you are unable to house yourself on your wages/income. Often they will place you in temporary shared hostel housing , not your own place, especially if you don’t have kids. You don’t just get a “free house”. 5. No, illegal immigrants don’t qualify for anything. You’ll be denied assistance if you don’t have the correct documentation as a refugee, citizen, resident, etc. You can’t just turn up and get money and education. 6. We pay councils (like mini states) tax on top of our normal tax for residency in that area and they are responsible for a LOT of local services and funding decisions. Nothing to do with Keir Starmer. 7. You have councillors and MPs. Both are elected. The first are usually civil servants who know how to do things, the second are more career politicians. Sometimes you get a “angry at the government” idiot candidate as a councillor and you’re fucked because he’s a crook and out for himself. 8. No, the king can’t intervene in politics or change any laws. The last person who did was Edward VII in the 1900s and he was ordered to after an election/parliamentary ruling. He’s basically Melania Trump power wise. 9. No, we don’t all support the royalty. It’s mostly for tourist so and grandmas. No one really talks about them. 10. No, we aren’t overrun by Muslims. London, Birmingham and Bradford are large urban immigrant areas but 60 years ago the same rhetoric was about Irish people and Black Caribbean people. Racists gonna racist.

Students loans should be about paying back to cost of your degree Not funding the NHS and other things

@shanfairy13 What book is that from-

i always wonder how the entire boys of tommen fandom was somehow brainwashed into believing shannon lynch said this

@Maamelm is it that hard for you to comprehend that other people can work just as hard as you and not go to oxbridge…?

frankly, yes

@pulpy_fiction it’s funny that somehow they’ve been defined as the smartest people yet they cannot comprehend that others work as hard, or even harder, as them

@bl0om_2 the amount of oxford grads quoting this and saying ‘tbh yes we do think everyone else just fucked around’ like what is wrong with you people!!

do oxbridge grads think the rest of us just fucked about at uni. do you think someone studying medicine at kent had a much easier time of it

@s1lverliz What was it? It’s been deleted

not hating but tbis has genuinely never happened to me 😭

@JeremyTate41 And that’s a bad thing…?

These are some of the books on the new Texas state reading list (grades 9–12) Yes, students will have to read these in their ENTIRETY.
