Still Gnawing Through the Backlog

gwydion* Re: BBC and the Guardian, as well as other news sources.
We have reached final straw point on disinformation. I can't go back and expunge them given the amount of posting I do, but I'm looking at vetting more UK sources, since I basically dropped from five to three go to’s depending on what I'm covering. I'm also struggling just generally with sourcing for other commonwealth countries.
If you have good general news sources to suggest for your country just generally, UK, Commonwealth, or not, feel free to pipe up so I can take a squint. There are so many countries around the world where I am having to take a best stab with minimal guidance.
This goes particularly if you spot me using a problematic source. Do pipe up if you spot me accidentally using Japan's equivalent of the Daily Mail or Uganda's equivalent of the New York post, because odds are I don't know.
As always, I am grateful to know if I'm posting stealth Russian or TERF propaganda or the like. I do my damnedest to screen out unreliable things, but I'm one person and I definitely don't know or see everything. If I've been tricked by an off-brand Onion, for fuckssake tell me. I'd rather apologize than spread nonsense.

* Wednesday I went back on allergy treatments for the first time in... I'm guessing a decade to a decade and a half. Maybe longer. I simply couldn't afford the co-pays.
I hate allergy treatments. Everybody hates allergy treatments. Its pretty much the definition of short term misery for long term potential gain and humans are bad at that. Nothing pleasant happens at the allergist. You arrive well and go away feeling some degree of crappy and tired. It needs to be done, though, for all it takes a lot of time and gas and spoons.
I don't have much hope for the two things I'm most allergic to. They are everywhere and I had treatments for them in two states for about a decade and they nearly closed my throat this summer. (I hate the American obsession with mono-culture lawns. Give me native wildflowers or garden plots or local native mixed grasses at least). At the same time, if treatments could make these less dangerous, it's worth it. Last time treatments apparently peeled off the tree that mates in March, which was a material benefit to me. It'd be nice if they could do that with the asshole weed and the lesser things.
So I've arranged things with the effected Millennials schedule wise and onward we go.
I do not blame the very small children who start wailing at the top of their lungs when they see they have been taken to the clinic though. seriously from there perspective they are being taken to be tortured and made itchy and ill. I empathize, I really do.

* So I watched the first two episodes of the new Willow show, about which I have many thoughts, but it became clear I really needed to rewatch the movie, which I hadn’t seen in an age. This was the correct instinct, as I’d forgotten a bunch of things, including the entire character of Airk except for the not letting Madmartigan out of the cage scene, somehow.
So I’m like, wait, Madmartigan named his son after Airk. This Airk who is behaving like an angry ex in the only scene I vaguely remembered him in. This Airk who later on calls him a thief in a way that speaks of a deep personal disappointment in him.
Just what did Madmartigan steal from Original Airk?
Did they explore each other’s bodies?
I have so many questions.

We have reached final straw point on disinformation. I can't go back and expunge them given the amount of posting I do, but I'm looking at vetting more UK sources, since I basically dropped from five to three go to’s depending on what I'm covering. I'm also struggling just generally with sourcing for other commonwealth countries.
If you have good general news sources to suggest for your country just generally, UK, Commonwealth, or not, feel free to pipe up so I can take a squint. There are so many countries around the world where I am having to take a best stab with minimal guidance.
This goes particularly if you spot me using a problematic source. Do pipe up if you spot me accidentally using Japan's equivalent of the Daily Mail or Uganda's equivalent of the New York post, because odds are I don't know.
As always, I am grateful to know if I'm posting stealth Russian or TERF propaganda or the like. I do my damnedest to screen out unreliable things, but I'm one person and I definitely don't know or see everything. If I've been tricked by an off-brand Onion, for fuckssake tell me. I'd rather apologize than spread nonsense.

* Wednesday I went back on allergy treatments for the first time in... I'm guessing a decade to a decade and a half. Maybe longer. I simply couldn't afford the co-pays.
I hate allergy treatments. Everybody hates allergy treatments. Its pretty much the definition of short term misery for long term potential gain and humans are bad at that. Nothing pleasant happens at the allergist. You arrive well and go away feeling some degree of crappy and tired. It needs to be done, though, for all it takes a lot of time and gas and spoons.
I don't have much hope for the two things I'm most allergic to. They are everywhere and I had treatments for them in two states for about a decade and they nearly closed my throat this summer. (I hate the American obsession with mono-culture lawns. Give me native wildflowers or garden plots or local native mixed grasses at least). At the same time, if treatments could make these less dangerous, it's worth it. Last time treatments apparently peeled off the tree that mates in March, which was a material benefit to me. It'd be nice if they could do that with the asshole weed and the lesser things.
So I've arranged things with the effected Millennials schedule wise and onward we go.
I do not blame the very small children who start wailing at the top of their lungs when they see they have been taken to the clinic though. seriously from there perspective they are being taken to be tortured and made itchy and ill. I empathize, I really do.

* So I watched the first two episodes of the new Willow show, about which I have many thoughts, but it became clear I really needed to rewatch the movie, which I hadn’t seen in an age. This was the correct instinct, as I’d forgotten a bunch of things, including the entire character of Airk except for the not letting Madmartigan out of the cage scene, somehow.
So I’m like, wait, Madmartigan named his son after Airk. This Airk who is behaving like an angry ex in the only scene I vaguely remembered him in. This Airk who later on calls him a thief in a way that speaks of a deep personal disappointment in him.
Just what did Madmartigan steal from Original Airk?
Did they explore each other’s bodies?
I have so many questions.
