Why Am I Judged For Preferring Barry When It’s Literally Like. Guys. Dorian KILLS Basil. PLEASE COME

People in Britain! If you want to connect to fellow workers and learn all about organising please consider coming to our conference in Manchester on July 26!

You don't need to be in a union, you don't need to have union recognition at work, you don't need to know anything!

This is specifically for people who are interested in learning about organising at work, no matter what stage, even if the idea has just crept up in your mind!

We are not affiliated to any political party or any particular union. We are here to support each other in organising our workplaces.

Our conferences are participatory - we have had enough lectures from above and are more interested in a rank-and-file viewpoint and democratic organisation.

Tickets starts at £5 including lunch!

We also have free childcare available, please sign up early if you require this!

And given the recent news from Britain: As one of the coordinators of Troublemakers at Work, I can only stretch that I will always support trans people (because I mean it when I say solidarity forever), JK Rowling is a despicable transphobe and British institutions clearly care more about catering to her and her thugs' selfish interests than enhancing the rights of oppressed people.

real life prince on his way to the masquerade ball | for @jinstronaut

my favorite part about the novel is that you dont get to see utterson's (and poole's i guess) reaction to the letter so i get to imagine anything i want. utterson crying and hugging the body my beloved. hyde survivng and having to face his best friend..,, i can do whatever i want,,,

Maybe "The Picture of Dorian Gray" 2009 wasn't so good (because some parts of the editing were dizzying and the ending, with all that about Henry and his daughter, was pretty meh) BUT we have gay sex scenes and two kisses between Basil and Dorian. And I believe that is what Sir Oscar Wilde would have wanted.

i cant really fully describe how disrespectful the netflix adaptation for the picture of dorian gray is, as i am not the secretly repressed homosexual man who wrote the novel and said all the characters represented him, nor am i a gay man who lived in the 1800’s, but i am queer and i do adore oscar wilde and i have studied his life.

not only is the book one of the first popular and honest representations of homosexuality, but the book is written by a man who said the book represented him. oscar wilde was a homosexual man. and after being arrested for indecency (doing gay things in simple words) wilde lost all his reputation and was pretty much exiled in british society (even beyond) - majority of his plays were phased out of the public and his name was silenced. oscar describes the picture of dorian gray’s three main characters as parts of him. Basil: his trueself, romantic, full of emotion, artistic and finds beauty extremely valuable. Henry: his public persona, the way the public perceive him and finally, Dorian: the man he wants to be - youthful and beautiful. Changing the main emotional plot in this novel, that happens to be romantic and queer, is not only disrespectful to the way Oscar wanted to represent himself, but also disrespectful towards the fact that Oscar himself was convicted for homosexuality and had a passage from the novel, where Basil confesses to Dorian, read in court as evidence against him.

leave queer historical figures alone. you do enough by just denying their identity.

what if instead of Gabriel Utterson it was FREAKY utterson...

Fellas is it gay to describe your victorian scientists friends hands frequently enough for them to associate it with you ??
