Reform is literally threatening my ability to stay in the U.K. after 20 years and six years of settled status. But they also means I’ll be able to vote against those fuckers.22 Sep 2025 11:01 +0000at://did:plc:vaoujgwjb5g2o7gfa5sc4nmt/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzgayavjdk27https://bsky.app/profile/aleksandrvoinov.bsky.social/post/3lzbu552zgs2xMan, shamanism is already giving me so much.

Harris and Hopkins deliver astounding performances, whole cast is excellent. The twists, the turns, the depth of the narrative.

EU goods are now 25% more expensive than they were in Jan/Feb 2025. And almost half of that is people doubting the US dollar’s strength.28 Jul 2025 14:22 +0000at://did:plc:vaoujgwjb5g2o7gfa5sc4nmt/app.bsky.feed.post/3luzs4oiv4s27https://bsky.app/profile/aleksandrvoinov.bsky.social/post/3lurs6d5p5225So the local seat went to Refascism UK - 1,342 votes, with 185 to the Greens, 540 to LibDems, 720 to Labour, Cuntservatives at 1,161. Turnout was 28% and the fascists got 30% of that - so a very tiny amount of Xenophobes and “Woke”-Haters just got us an absolute crackpot on the council.25 Jul 2025 10:02 +0000at://did:plc:vaoujgwjb5g2o7gfa5sc4nmt/app.bsky.feed.post/3lurs6d5p5225https://bsky.app/profile/aleksandrvoinov.bsky.social/post/3luntssjgik2uKnock on the door.
