Whose worse?

It feels like such a shame that in 2023, I ask this question.

Between the Republicans and the Tories, there doesn’t feel like much of a difference at the moment. I called the Tories the Nazi Party 2.0 yesterday, after seeing about three different stories about all the harm they’re doing to like…everyone.

Yesterday, the UK Government announced it may stop recognising gender recognition certificates from as many as 14 countries, including Canada, New Zealand and Australia. This is an unprecedented and spiteful attack on trans people who want to make their lives in Britain. This comes as the UK Government considers whether to block gender recognition reforms voted through in Scotland last month by a decisive majority of MSPs from every party. Reforms that would make it easier for trans people living in Scotland to live and work with dignity.

Being Australian, I cannot write to my MP, but if you live in England and you support trans rights, you can.

The NHS is literally dying, the Tories want to make striking workers, just illegal. The Tories are one of the only “First World” countries who wont ban conversion therapy entirely. Leaving loopholes, that abusers will use.

The Republicans House Committees have already scrubbed all hearing information and documents on their sites from when Democrats were in control. They scrubbed submitted written testimonies and committee reports. The documents should all be on the wayback machine. It’ll be much harder to find specific documents from committee hearings.

Some Republicans in Arizona turned their backs on Katie Hobbs, who was talking about standing with people who need abortions.

MTG had a go at Dr Dre saying he glorified violence and drugs in his music. I have feeling she was feeling a bit “sore” because she used his music without permission and got herself into trouble on Twitter. What the heck was her video about anyway? “Oh, I don’t want to talk about that” After going on about 9/11 conspiracies’, AND JFK Junior conspiracies’. I think she blamed the Clintons for that plane crash?

This week Bookmark Chronicles would like to know:

What do you think is worse:

A book with water damage or a book with a broken spine?

Oh this a great question, mainly because they are both horrible situations to find yourself in and both can potentially lead quicker into the books becoming more easily damaged.

I would rather a book to have a damaged spine than water damage. It also depends on the water damage, has it ruined the ink? Has it gone all the way through? One of the major problems with water damage is that there can repercussions with the water. You have more of a chance of mould and attracting little insects. Watch out if it doesn’t dry properly.

A damaged spine you can get repaired, while you might be able to do something. Do not get it repaired yourself, take it to a professional. They are not too many places to get them repaired, but they are out there!
