St Jude for lost causes, surely?

ETA: Damn you cesare

 

[Firky]

Yeah, I thought you said you weren't going to apologise, firky?

I did but when I scrolling through my twitter it appears I had apologised!

 

[cesare]

Cos she won't block him and he pretty much agreed yesterday that it was out of order. I just want the comments withdrawn, I don't much care how it happens.

Well, have you reported her for abuse?

 

[SpineyNorman]

Well, have you reported her for abuse?

Is that even possible to do when someone's blocked you? I can't even get onto her page or whatever it's called.

I've just asked Owen Jones if he'll have a word - doubt it'll help but there's not a lot else I can think of to do.

Vote labour with no illusions

Thanks. How do you link to a tweet? I've got no idea what to click on to get the link

If you click on 'details' so it opens the tweet by itself, you can then copy and paste the url in the address bar.

it's all for a new book apparently.

the decline of men or some shit.

On the twitter homepage, the direct link to a single tweet is through the timestamp. On something like tweetdeck it's the 'time since tweeted' bit, eg '2m'.

The one I think you want is on 16/12/12 at 20:51 if that helps?

We're going to need a bigger thread.

Didn't Susan Faludi already do that? Expect great chunks cut+pasted no doubt

The form doesn't accept it - can someone not blocked do me a huge favour and post or PM a link to it for me?

https://support.twitter.com/groups/...-how-to-link-directly-to-an-individual-tweet#

Doesn't seem to work if they've blocked you - just takes me to a page that says I'm not authorized to view it and when I put it in the form it says I need to post a direct link to the tweet. Fucking hell this is hard!

Edit: it's OK - did what Dave (Cinzano, not the other Dave) said and it worked.

Thanks and a Merry Xmas to you as well

 

[FreddyB]

I'm privileged but I have no power. It's not the same thing you see.

 

[articul8]

Yes it won't let me look up "details" though as I'm blocked

 

[FreddyB]

Men are so, so much more than stale patriarchal assumptions #feminism

I feel better now about my lack of power

 

[SpineyNorman]

I'm privileged but I have no power. It's not the same thing you see.

This you mean?

Laurie Penny ‏@PennyRed
Yep. That's the thing. Having privilege is NOT the same thing as having power. Not all privileged people are powerful. @joshua_eaton


I assume you can also have power without privilege - that's what Laura's got obviously.

 

[TruXta]

...and it don't stop.

Yes that, which was a reply to " Joshua Eaton ‏@joshua_eaton
@PennyRed So men are told their privileged oppressors, which is true, without having an outlet for the class oppression they get, too."

It's just one big circle of liberal madness.
