Alright, so I really am salty. I could not care less about the monarchy, however, I do care about how much more our already dwindling economy is going to get fucked over by this. State funerals, days of mourning and all that crap. So forgive me if we don’t find your jokes about the situation funny, I already know I’m setting myself up for ridiculous comments from people who don’t understand.

Us regular British citizens are literally just trying to exist here, while the country fails around us and the Tory twats in charge trash the environment and subsequently remove any rights that trans people were only just trying to obtain.

sorry sorry i was reading babel by rf kuang and oof

"English did not just borrow words from other languages; it was stuffed to the brim with foreign influences, a Frankenstein vernacular. And Robin found it incredible, how this country, whose citizens prided themselves so much on being better than the rest of the world, could not make it through an afternoon tea without borrowed goods."

#bangs head on the table #as a citizen of a country who was under the british #rf kuang is validating stuff in me i didn't know i needed to be validated #send help please #babel rf kuang

I'm livid. Attenborough played a large part in me deciding to follow ecology and conservation as a career path! The episode that's being withdrawn is about the destruction and rewilding of British natural habitats, which the general public need to see! Pandering to right-wing morons, who do nothing but bury their heads in the sand and pretend that they've got nothing to do with it, is not how we're going to fix it! The world is suffering biodiversity loss on a huge scale and more awareness means more likelihood of people coming together to find solutions! I've never been so disappointed with the BBC...

I'm dying over the fact that the royal family is so adamantly denying that King C has prostate cancer and is instead refusing to state what kind of cancer he has. Like. We weren't born yesterday, he Obviously has prostate cancer. And my problem isn't that they're denying it. My problem is that they should not have been sharing such personal medical information (several days ago when they said he'd been admitted to hospital over prostate issues) to begin with. Like, period, actually.

#british royal family #king charles iii #king charles lll #tw medical #and dont get me wrong. get the crabs ready etc. i am a crab rave abiding party. #i think it Would be bad for uk citizens to endure another period of mourning because i remember ppl complaining abt things shutting down? #also its nauseating to see them spend so much money on funerals and coronation. so im lukewarm abt him dying rn. #but like regardless of how scummy he is i really think ppl need to make up their minds abt how we talk abt sensitive medical issues. #like either we're spilling everything to destigmatize or we're allowing privacy for the sake of dignity in front of the whole world. #like fucking make up your mind royal family. #anyway we can still have fun with this because its kc3 and he sucks so crab wave away my dudes 😘 #🦌

"CANADA IS 'HOME' ΤΟ 135 IMMIGRANTS," Toronto Star. June 24, 1943. Page 3. ---- Canada became the official home of 135 foreign-born residents this week when they took the oath of allegiance to His Majesty the King. William Stangret, Parkham Ave., native of Poland, has lived here 16 years. He took the oath proudly.

Miss Helme Rahikka, native of Finland, has lived in Toronto for the past 13 years. "This is the happiest moment of my life," she exclaimed as she received her papers proclaiming her a Canadian citizen.

Private W. Strand, who has lived here 18 years, served with the Canadian Army before transferring to the Norwegian forces. A native of Norway, he went to school here. He wears a long service medal.

Tom Dorosh, native of Russia. came to Toronto 16 years ago. His father, brothers and sisters are fighting with the Russian forces. "I am happy to be a real Canadian if not exactly a new one," he said.

it's actually a common misconception that british people aren't real. the fact of the matter is they are only virtually mythical creatures as sightings are becoming rarer and rarer. the truth is that british citizens are endangered and are dying out faster than ever

let's keep the british species in our prayers, no matter how mythical and annoying they may seem, we'll save you <3

#adopt a british citizen today #british people aren’t real #british people are endangered #(i genuinely dk were the joke starts and ends i've lost the plot) #snail speaks #(should i make a shitpost tag?) #:)

reading British monarchy news

It's good, but it can be better:

#news #uk news #british monarchy #monty python jokes are forever #I think the strange women lying in ponds should keep the swords for themselves #as a canadian citizen I can totally mock british monarchy #it's my monarchy to mock

i live in the US and my sister lives in the UK so all our conversations are just

“How’s the garbage fire?”

“Bad. How’s the tire fire?”

“Terrible.”

#amazing how the british and us governments are in a pissing contest for who can make the worst decisions #and fuck over their citizens more #not merch #shitty-fate-mod speaks

ive been staring at the words "Add something, if you'd like" for so long trying to figure how to remotely articulate whatever emotion im feeling in response to hearing someone stating - very confidently, i might add - that george orwell did not write anything substantial about the spanish civil war and francoist spain.

my guy, my dude, my man, my bloke, my chap, he took a bullet to the neck fighting against francos forces in the spanish civil war. its literally where a lot of his political leanings were cemented. i think that might have informed his later writing.

also he wrOTE HOMAGE TO CATALONIA. WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT BOOK IS ABOUT?

#kai rambles #im just #W H A T #can i sue this guy for psychic damage??????? #do i need to tag for the spanish civil war? #or franco? #my brain is so fried after hearing that take that im just #i feel like you could knock on my head and hollowness would ring out #comically loud #my brain is gone #WHAT DO YOU MEAN GEORGE ORWELL DIDNT SUBSTANTIALLY SPEAK OR WRITE ABOUT THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR? #HE FOUGHT IN IT #AND BY FOUGHT IN IT I MEAN HE WAS A BRITISH CITIZEN WHO JOINED THE PARTIDO OBRERO DE UNIFICACIÓN MARXISTA #HE FOUGHT ON THE FRONT LINES AND HAD TO FLEE TO LIKE FRANCE I THINK BECAUSE POUM WAS DECLARED ILLEGAL #CAN PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT GEORGE ORWELL STOP TALKING ABOUT GEORGE ORWELL

National Status of the Former (and Ongoing) British Empire

I've been doing research on the nationalities of all the former territories occupied, colonized, settled, controlled, or otherwise claimed by the British Empire. Short story: it's a mess.

But it also occurred to me in doing that that I couldn't find a good list of former colonies and territories that noted their status today (in Jan. 2024). So... here we are! I bet there are errors and I bet there are omissions, because – again – it's a MESS to get a clear picture of. And according to many legal historians and cultural studies scholars, that was and is on purpose.

Snapshots of those lists below -- but the full, and better-formatted version on my wordpress [because Tumblr didn't support the table I tried to make].

[* Denotes countries now in the Commonwealth of Nations.]

Again, I am sure there are issues here, as there have been contestations, debates, and challenges to the statuses of people born on land around the world that was once touched by British imperial boots.

For more on the CHAOS of those struggles, including the fundamental problem with establishing what “British nationality” even means, I highly recommend:

Ann Dummett and Andrew Nicol, Subjects, Citizens, Aliens and Others: Nationality and Immigration Law (London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1990).
