#muckraking — Public Fediverse posts

*But* ... the one thing Hipkins ought *not* to lose his leadership role over is stories about his personal life. His private business.

None of us are saints, especially in the eyes of puritan ultra-conservatives and crypto-conservative identi-Moonies. Every one of us has skeletons in the closet that scurrilous muckrakers could dig up as a basis to exclude us from political office.

i'm dedicating my portrait to decca's pet lamb, miranda, about whom her mistress said: 'she was the light of my life'.

bonus decca trivia: she contemplated assassinating hitler because her sister, unity, would have afforded her easy access.

another mitford sis, diana, married oswald mosley. the other three were a duchess, an author (nancy of 'love in a cold climate' fame) & pamela just cavorted. at the age of 19, decca bought a camera with her father's credit & ran away to fight in the spanish civil war.

Isn’t that what they used to call #muckraking?

Just submitted an FOI request to the Province of BC / MoT and I love doing this kinda stuff. The new $10 per Ministry request is nonsense btw. Used to be free. Purely a barrier. #muckraking #BCPoli #Transportation #ClimateChange #Rail #IslandRailway #Resilience
