I don’t know how many of you are of an age to be told - or perhaps more pertinently, had parents/grandparents who are/were of an age to tell you - that watching too much television will make your eyes go square &/or your brain deteriorate in some way, be that melting, turning to dust, or going to mush [like a soggy weetabix]. (Exit of brain tissue via ears &/or nose optional). Perhaps that some programmes were “chewing gum for the mind”?
Have to wonder if they were perhaps onto things with screentime generally & Weetabix brain (wet or dry) because I struggle to understand - & this is as someone whose brain is not Weetabix-y, but is Badly Behaved - how else people could Tweet some of the things they do.
It’s not a[n early] National Youth Choir rehearsal, so why are they so at ease with being Loud And Wrong?
The endless privilege on display is really somewhat nauseating. “Ooh, look at us making edgy jokes about how they’re Nazis!” I mean, it’s libellous not just wrong; but when you use that particular slur against a group full of women the actual Nazis would have executed; some of whom lost family in the Holocaust? That’s a special sort of disgusting behaviour.
On a lighter note, Shakespeare is trending alongside Mumsnet, Graham Linehan & Glinner, but sadly not because his TERFery is being acknowledged. Clearly Shakespeare’s not a TERF, but acknowledging biological sex etc gets people accused of it, so I was hoping to see some denunciations & demands. Terribly disappointing.
This royal throne of kings queens, this sceptered isle, This earth These TERFs of majesty, this seat of Mars Fry’s, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of women, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands… This blessed plot Mumsnet lot, this earth those TERFs, this their realm, this England the UK.
