Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system 1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK 2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc 3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

A ‘Mamdani Monitor’?? Zohran RESPONDS to the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt for vowing to “track” his admin for antisemitism. “I have some doubts in Jonathan's ability to do so honestly, given that he previously said I had not visited any synagogues only to have to correct himself.” zeteo.com/subscribe

I’ve seen on the media how pundits amusingly refer to Zack Polanski as if entirely propped up by social media & youngsters’ ‘vibes’ but to this middle aged women (who has no TikTok account) he seems the most serious political leader in sight talking about real issues with conviction and directness 🤷🏻‍♀️

this is a great reminder that ‘anyone can register with a GP surgery, and that proof of address or immigration status are not needed. It also highlights that people have a right to a free interpreter’

So many of us British Jews feel the same, thank you for your voice Zack

My excellent friend Viatrix and me are thrilled to be featured on this month’s Plastic Language w/ FIELDNOTES.. such an honour to be played amongst these wonderful sounds www.nts.live/shows/plasti...

Very excited about this show on Sunday. 'Maison Rose' from '77 is a real cult gem of course but she's still making vital music - 2022's 'Targala, la maison qui n'en est pas une' is delightful johnkoolrecords.bandcamp.com/album/targal...

One of the most important political messages on the internet.

Imagine you’re at a party. How do you respond to a middle-aged white guy saying that he has recently ‘experienced an increase in racism and sexism’. As a white man.

Macabi Tel Aviv are now saying its too unsafe for them to go to Aston Villa so have cancelled their visit.. well done everyone for letting them play the victim www.maccabi-tlv.co.il/2025/10/%d7%...

oh Ed you schmuk

The delivery of 'Newcastle' here is brilliant bsky.app/profile/cedw...

Please don’t use my Jewish identity to try and shut down protests that are calling for the end of a genocidal war. This conflation is what fuels antisemitism, please stop

Zack Polanski saying what every politician should be saying, "It's problematic to weaponise the synagogue attack to silence protest in this country against the genocide in Gaza" "These are separate things and we should condemn them both"

Under the Concrete Gazebo this Sunday, 7th September 1-5pm at Waterbeach Barracks. A mix of group improvs open to all and performances including: Nye Jones Twenty-three hanging trees and Rachel Watkins Threshold entities Personal Reasons (that's me & @lauradymphna.bsky.social ) Free entry!

Cambridge-based duo Zenneroes (aka Elien De Schryver and Nye Jones) have their debut album of diaphanous ambient/improv up on the Process Theatre Bandcamp page processtheatre.bandcamp.com/music

This should be obvious to anyone not blinded by their hatred of Abbott and the Labour left. Meanwhile, the Forde report - commissioned by Labour's NEC - found that anti-black racism and Islamophobia were not taken as seriously as antisemitism within the Labour party, and it was never mentioned again

'The song ‘Holiday In Gaza’ (2012), is a tip of the hat to Dead Kennedys that also proved to be shockingly prescient. “It’s unbelievable because Trump has started talking about exactly that” - turning the territory into the “Riviera of the Middle East”. GrRzZz Interviewed buff.ly/pwtB7oC

Getting ready for the show TOMORROW www.junction.co.uk/events/heart... @cambridgejunction.bsky.social

‘If we could stop thinking of the brain like it’s a Rubik’s cube, then perhaps we would have more capacity to talk about what’s truly iconic about Gage: that he survived, both as a body and a person’ buff.ly/1gMuFXd

my new favourite band

The short documentary ‘Walls Cannot Keep Us from Flying’ (2021) captures skateboard culture in the West Bank, where the sport offers a fleeting sense of freedom to young Palestinians living under the constraints of Israeli occupation

First they came for the transes, and you said "Fuck the transes, they're weird"... Remember, until a few years ago it was almost unheard-of for a woman to be charged with procuring an abortion. Now they have "new national guidance" on how to hunt them down. www.theguardian.com/world/2022/j...

For so many of us, the images are unavoidable. Our social media feeds are full of Palestinian death and dehumanization by the Israeli military.

There's another Concrete Gazebo album on the way featuring more recent material (& possibly a physical release too) but in the meantime we've put up a quirky, colourful assortment of tracks extracted from online jams that mostly took place in 2021 processtheatre.bandcamp.com/album/wait-f...

⚠️BREAKING⚠️ 31% of UK children are living in poverty after housing costs. A record high. A lack of truly affordable homes has left families fighting to provide. Tell the government that they must commit to investing in social homes 👉🏿 shltr.org.uk/ZfmeU

If there’s anything we learned from the pandemic it is that *healthy people=healthy economy*. It’s not health v economy; it’s health And economy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c0...

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting. This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity. These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.

"Opposing Fascism Is a Jewish Tradition"--JWP at Trump Tower today.

Fascinating talk by William Jubinville highlighting the bi-directional relationship between acquired brain injury and homelessness, and the way ABI services struggle to meet the needs of people with multiple health and social vulnerabilities #inclusionhealth2025 @pathwayuk.bsky.social

We need more understanding and action around executive functioning and people experiencing multiple exclusion homelessness - Ellie Atkins and her team’s work in Manchester is so important m.youtube.com/watch?v=4dc-...

Water bills increasing by huge amounts. Energy bills increasing by 6.4%. Some council tax increasing by 10%. And now 'misery for rail passengers' as fares increasing by 4.6% #GMB

will my life-long dream of eating my own artichokes come true this year?

I loved listening to the podcast made by Tape Letters, an oral history project on how tapes were used by British Pakistanis as long distance communication.. touching and enlightening on so many levels @modusarts.bsky.social tapeletters.com
