Eloquent, my dear.

KEV TOWNSEND WEEK 2026 | DAY 3: Location(s)

Vinny and Lewis: their entire relationship has taken place off screen and when they come back they've moved ahead 100 paces just to disappear again only for Vinny to be axed ending the relationship.

Vanessa: Is ignored most of the time and when she does get a love interest they cheat (or worse apparently).

Mary: Again ignored, all of her love interests end up dead or fucking her over.

Matty: His wife died less than a year after they were married and he didn't even get a storyline about it.

Suzy and Ethan: both queer POCs end up dead.

Suni: another queer POC is gaybashed.

Let’s not forget that we had Robert drugged and nearly raped by another man. I can’t help but feel that the writers are trying to say “don’t be LGBT+” because you will either end up:

a) dead (especially if you are an LGBT+ POC)

b) being a rapist

c) condemned to a life of misery and loneliness

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

if you're a rabbit, the boss rabbit is the one who gets groomed by its subordinate rabbits.

but if you're a cat... the boss cat is the one that grooms the other cats.
