as a history student i will hand it to the greeks, ancient and modern - they sure know how to make the most out of a word. us normies have to use whole sentences to convey a concept while the greeks will use one single word that is actually ten words glued together. respect.
First past the post is the most busted voting system going.
The SNP have been supportive of a proportional representation voting system even when First Past the Post benefitted them.
Because with FPTP you just get massive swings like this when the ruling government becomes fatigued and everyone gets sick of them.
And you rinse and repeat that cycle forever.

“I agree with their policies” - a reason for voting Labour which only 5% of Labour voters chose as their first
I’m reposting this with a link to some sources from the OP, btw; I’m sorry for not tagging them, but Tumblr won’t let me and I’m guessing it’s a privacy settings thing.

[Image description: a Facebook post by Melissa Hillman, which says "The oldest human civilization from which we have written records is ancient Sumer. One thing we know from the copious amount of writing they left--so much it isn't even all translated yet!--is that they had a thriving and extremely varied transgender population. Let's get into it:
There were people who were cis men at home but who worked as temple priestesses.
There were full-time transgender temple priestesses sacred to the Goddess Inanna.
There were trans male temple guards, also sacred to Inanna.
The oldest extant signed poem is by a temple priestess, Enheduanna, whose poem extols the many powers of Inanna, which include "turning a man into a woman and a woman into a man."
Sumer had nonbinary people and nonbinary mythical characters. Sumer had gender-affirming surgery.
Trans people have existed for as long as there have been people. You're not going to legislate away a human trait."]

@ everyone who thought this was about the Ghibli Miyazaki and not the Dark Souls Miyazaki: why did you just, like… accept that?
oh I assure you he’s been doing it well before ponyo
No but I for a second I really was wondering when Ghibli was almost going to put a mouth in the middle of a giant woman’s hand because I wouldn’t put that past either of these Miyazakis
Can we go back to the part where miyazaki was going to Shut Down The Horny but didn’t because it would have been Too Mean
a baby at work the other day gave me the meanest look i've ever seen as it got lifted out of a cesarean. 1 second old and already hating. you can't teach that.
