Youse aren't ready for how much re-beating of dead horses I'll be at now

Oh my god finally
Louise (@selkies.bsky.social) reply parent
It's weird to me a chara what can I say
Louise (@selkies.bsky.social) reply parent
YES and I realise you could argue that that's more an American dialect thing but it's a bridge too far for me
Louise (@selkies.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh my god yes I think this is actually the worst thing. Like it's fine to misspeak but if this is a video ESSAY then the script should be checked for this shit.
Louise (@selkies.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah I've met loads of normal sounding people who went to Mount Temple to be fair to the school
Louise (@selkies.bsky.social) reply parent
Why would it be one or the other

It really makes me wonder how much of studying journalism is about language use, because it's something I have clearly been taking for granted in other media produced by pros

The topics are interesting, the research looks good, but their ability to articulate themselves is letting them down, man. I don't want to hear "it gets to where it's really bad" or "should have went"
Louise (@selkies.bsky.social)
I don't know how to say this without sounding like a massive curmudgeon but a lot of these Video Essay people are really lacking what I would have thought were basic language skills

Tbh he actually wasn't yet elderly then but still
Louise (@selkies.bsky.social)
Mad to think about but there was a time when both me and my elderly uncle were frequenting the same place, me calling it Workman's and him calling it the full The Workman's Club, on different days of the week both feeling like the target audience

Thank you a chara I'm being a total whinge and I appreciate the support

Our vet is after getting us in some special biscuits and some special wet food as well for her, the pee test is to make sure it's not sneakily more advanced than it seems. GRMA she appreciates the well wishes

Skyler Gisondo is such a discordant unsatisfying name the fact he's doing well really goes to show that you don't need a stage name to make it in Hollywood

We are taking it seriously obviously she's my baby gal but she's also 14 so these might just be her Real Pissin Years

Cat's pissing too much so we're having to trick her into pissing on some silica gel looking beads so we can bring her piss to the vet and see what she's pissing about

Oh I didn't know there was a film merci

Now that you say it I really see that

Is this a safe space to say that I thought Charlie was supposed to be Black or Melungeon for a few episodes and was very surprised when people weren't being racist to him

Ironing a sewing project - delightful satisfying I am fastidious and at ease. Ironing clothes I want to wear - MISERY of a Victorian flavour.

Ironing clothes to wear and ironing fabric to sew are to COMPLETELY different tasks aren't they

Oh it's a very effective domestic brainwashing campaign. Donyou remember when The Hairy Bikers with their matching Che Guevara tattoos did an incredibly happy clappy "we're all friends right?" series about the best dishes that came out of the British Empire (that starved millions)

And if your country got rich off the backs of people in its colonies and their resources, the poverty that exists in those plundered countries now is ALSO your responsibility. The wars over YOUR badly drawn borders, yep you guessed it, your responsibility.
Louise (@selkies.bsky.social)
AND ANOTHER THING if your country's empire was the force that enshrined homophobia in law and set up things like the death penalty in Uganda for homosexual acts, then it is your MORAL DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY to take in those people at risk.

Rylan going on about how "this country (England) was built on legal immigration" is so crazy when actually his country got rich off selling people as slaves and colonising other countries
Louise (@selkies.bsky.social) reply parent
I would also like these people to understand that claiming asylum is perfectly legal and allowed and even if someone's application is later denied that doesn't make them a liar or retroactively make their arrival illegal or dishonest
Louise (@selkies.bsky.social) reply parent
And they probably would have done it illegally if they'd had to!
Louise (@selkies.bsky.social)
One thing I would love to impress upon people who are hung up on "illegal" immigration versus "legal" immigration is that it's all made up. It's all entirely made up those rules are not meaningful and could change tomorrow based on nothing in particular.
