I think all shows should have to perform for a solid 24 hours at the very end of their run. I want to see David Tennant get through Macbeth twelve times. I want avant garde durational Mousetrap. I want to watch the cast of @mincemeatlive descend further and further into madness.

The Tories kicked off an open consultation (see link below) on reforming retained EU employment law.
Deadline: 7 July. Please spread the word!
The guidance provided is extremely rose-tinted. I'll highlight some key issues in the rest of this thread.

Doubtless you've heard that "we all get the same 24 hours in the day." Of course it's not true: rich people and poor people experience very different demands on their time. 1/
ALT A waiting room, draped with cobwebs. A skeleton sits in one of the chairs. A digital display board reads 'Now serving 53332.' An ogrish, top-hatted figure standing at a podium, yanking a dollar-sign shaped lever looms into the frame from the right. He holds a clock aloft disdainfully, pinched between the thumb and fingers of one white-gloved hand.

Feeling slightly weird shouting about it at this current moment, but also I've worked hard to reach this point: after a fair few years of casual and fixed term contracts, I'm now permanent at Central as a Lecturer in Popular and Queer Performance.

There is absolutely no chance of me having the focus to read a book tonight, which I'd much rather be doing, so let's do a little explainer on devolution, Section 35, and UK trans law! Mostly got an international audience in mind for this, but maybe that includes England, lol.

How to destroy the NHS:
Step 1. Run it into the ground with austerity.
Step 2. Exploit the crisis to empower the private sector.
Step 3. Abolish the principle of universal health care.
End privatisation, support striking workers and save our NHS.

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.
I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

So while folk are struggling to survive Sunak changed the ministerial code to allow frontbenchers to be driven home to their constituencies wherever in the UK at public expense. No need for them to struggle with the rail system they’ve collapsed, they get a private limo on us.

Ich finde es anstrengend, wenn Naturwissenschaftler zu einem komplexen sozialen Problem naturwissenschaftliche Fakten liefern und es dann als gelöst betrachten. Für Transgenderrechte z.B. ist es völlig egal, welche Keimzellen es gibt oder ob Fische ihr Geschlecht ändern. (Thread)
