Today’s IMF report reveals the reality of seven years of Tory economic failure - John McDonnell

labourpress

John McDonnell MP, Labour’s Shadow Chancellor, responding to today’s IMF report on the downward trend in labour income shares, said:

“Today’s IMF report reveals the reality of seven years of Tory economic failure. 

“The share of national income going to workers in wages has fallen since 2010. This is yet more worrying news for working people who have suffered from stagnating wages and a decline in living standards, with nearly six million people being paid less than the living wage.

“That’s why today Labour is announcing that  we will introduce a real Living Wage of £10 per hour from 2020. Only Labour will ensure workers are able to share in rising prosperity and higher living standards.”

I think something a lot of cis perisex Discworld fans don’t understand is that Cheery is canonically, textually a trans woman by definition. A trans person is, quite simply, someone who identifies as a different gender to the one they were assigned at birth. Cheery was basically assigned Dwarf, but she identifies as a woman. Her physical anatomy is irrelevant. Maybe it’s in line with a human idea of a cis woman, maybe it’s not. The point is, she wasn’t assigned female at birth. She identifies as female. Therefore, she is a trans woman.

(Edit: Yes, cis people are fine to reblog this)

A bird explaining to a hedgehog crossing so it doesn’t die.

!!! ok but that’s legitimately what it’s doing!! That’s a corvid right there (looks like a hooded crow, to be precise), which means it’s intelligent enough to recognize, a) cars are dangerous and streets should be treated with a certain degree of caution, b) this car’s slowing down for them–cars do that sometimes–which means they’re not in imminent danger, so it doesn’t have to fly away just yet, c) that hedgehog’s still gonna get killed if it doesn’t MOVE, FAST (cars can change speed very quickly and the hedgehog’s still in the way), and almost certainly also d) if the bird does nothing it gets a free lunch.

Y’all, Y’ALL. This bird is consciously deciding to put itself in danger in order to save the life of a very stupid creature. A creature which, if the bird did nothing, could be free food. 

i can’t - look if you follow me you know I have a thing for corvids, but this is - like!!! People are always saying “ah yes they have sub-human intelligence and don’t consider anything that isn’t immediately necessary for their own survival/pleasure,” but! Whether or not it can do philosophy, this crow is clearly demonstrating compassion. Even if it’s just the kind of compassion a toddler shows to a snail, a social creature that instinctively recognizes the potential for emotion in other beings, that’s still huge and cool and important and corvids!!! are! neat!!!
