Jewish communities are living in fear amid rising antisemitism, including these appalling arson attacks. We must confront this. At the same time, antisemitism is being weaponised to shut down criticism of the Israeli government. Both are true. Both deeply concerning. Both Antisemitic.

Hard agree with this one.

Day 21 of #30DaysOfSonnets: this one turned out a bit more depressing than I planned. I blame the tiredness. #PoetsSky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

Day 20 of #30DaysofSonnets: today's ended up a little self-deprecating. I'm blaming the 7 out of 10 consecutive work days. But also, two thirds of the way through the challenge! #PoetsSky #WritersSky #poetry #writingcommunity

What the Dem platform for 2028 must be: 1. Epstein Trials 2. ICE Trials 3. War Crimes Tribunals We don’t want to hear about a $10,000 tax credit for starting new AI businesses. We demand JUSTICE.

Day 19 of #30DaysOfSonnets: I sometimes play a game of ending a musical by answering "no" to a song lyric (e.g. "Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?" "No.") so I sort of did a similar thing with today's poem. Not winning any awards, but it's cute. #PoetsSky #WritersSky #writingcomunity #poetry

Day 18 of #30DaysOfSonnets: I had a bad day at work. One of the contributing factors inspired today's poem. Also, I thought this would be my first non-rhyming sonnet, but I accidently rhymed in the first quatrain, so went with it. #PoetsSky #WritersSky #poetry #writingcommunity

Oh my gosh, how was this 21 years ago?!

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Day 17 of #30DaysOfSonnets: this one was pretty quick to write. #PoetsSky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

Morning of story development with my writing group and a great chat with my agent. Solid Friday so far, I have to say. #actor #writer #theatre #friday

Day 16 of #30DaysofSonnets: wrote this during the Neuro divergent Art Club - get sh*t done session. Does anyone else find themselves writing what the "should" write instead of going with what comes organically? #PoetrySky #WritersSky #writingcommunity

Day 15 of #30DaysOfSonnets: I'm halfway through! Today's sonnet was written on the train home from work. As it's about writing when tired, let's say the logical inconsistencies are intentional... #PoetrySky #WritersSky #writingcommunity

Day 14 of #30DaysOfSonnet: today's subject is the Witch: a title that invokes everything from fairytale villains, to a table of persecution, to crystal-filled wellness retreats #PoetrySky #WritersSky #writingcommunity #WitchSky #TarotSky

That 'explanation' was the epitome of "that's enough Internet for one day."

Love this! Plus, a great way to stay hydrated.

Day 13 of #30DaysOfSonnets: I decided to do a tongue-in-cheek exploration of idioms. #PoetrySky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

Orban’s defeat shows that when we stand together against the politics of hate and division, hope wins and the far right friends of Farage can be defeated.

Day 12 of #30DaysOfSonnets: another hard one today, but I got it done (for the record, my partner was the one who emptied the bins today) #PoetsSky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com #manosphere

Day 11 of #30DaysOfSonnets: for today's sonnets I took the first line for a poem by @jessicajocelyn.bsky.social as inspiration (I saw it shared on my Discover feed Nd thought I'd saved the post, but apparently not) #PoetrySky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

My BlueSky feed has skewed very writing heavy, which is great (also I'm writing a poem a day atm, so, y'know, it tracks). But where are the theatre peeps at? I miss the nerdy theatre talks I used to have on the bird app. #TheatreSky #Theatre #TheaterSky #Musicals

Day 10 of #30DaysOfSonnets: today is a love letter to the red lip, aka my go-to interview makeup look. Sidenote, I'm a third of the way through this challenge I made up! Woo! #PoetsSky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

Day 9 of #30DaysOfSonnets: I'm just really annoyed at how crap the weather was today. This one came out pretty sweary - you have been warned. #PoetsSky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

Day 8 of #30DaysofSonnets: today's poem is an exploration of the different ways to say "I love you". #PoetsSky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

Ok, now do the bass clef.

They plaster the faces of actors who have passed onto films, to make you feel something, so you feed the machine. They Rehash virbant animated films as monotone live action, so you buy the sane products again and again. We all need to become more comfortable with grief. With moving on.

Day 7 of #30DaysOfSonnets. I jinxed it yesterday by saying this was getting easier. But hey ho, at least I got to write in the sunshine today #PoetsSky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

Day 6 of #30DaysOfSonnets. Thought of the first line the other day, so decided to make it the subject of today's poem. Sidenote, I low key think these are getting easier, but I don't want to jinx it! #PoetSky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

Israel is leveling Lebanon, over 10 miles in of border, killing people, making over a million homeless, just like they did in Gaza. US MUST STOP FINANCING NETANYAHU'S WAR CRIMES. STOP ALL MONIES TO ISTAEL.

Isn’t it weird how “AI literacy” being pushed on students isn’t about learning how it works, the cost of how it works, learning to spot disinformation, media and tech literacy. But instead is just “employers will like it if you get it to write your emails :)”

Israel is blowing up entire civilian homes in Naqoura, South Lebanon right now. Civilian homes. No military target. No justification. Just pure terror and destruction. This is a war crime in broad daylight. And the world watches in silence.

Best Star Trek crew. Wrong answers only.

“Snafu Principle”: When authority never hears the truth, the people under it quit serving and commence managing.

Day 5 of #30DaysofSonnets. Too tired to give backstory for this one. Sorry. #PoetsSky #Poetry #WritersSky

This, 100%. Both things are true. I'd add that Billionaires who got their money through art rather than traditional business are still unethical.

What bothers me most about JK Rowling discourse is people view her as simply a problematic writer whose books contains bigotry who also tweets bigoted & transphobic things and not like a billionaire, more akin to Elon Musk, actively financing the far right in her goal of eradicating all trans people

I honestly love this film so freaking much The performances, the space and history nerdery, Janelle Monáe's sass as Mary Jackson... 10/10, no notes.

I fucking love Hannah Spencer. The Green Party is honestly the only party giving any sense of hope for a better future right now.

The Institution of the Catholic Church is far from perfect, but I'm sliding with the Pope on this one.

Day 4 of #30DaysOfSonnets: todays ended up being a tribute to all those hours walking in the woods when I wasn't allowed to. #PoetsOfBlueSky #WritersSky #PoetsSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

Day 3 of #30DaysOfSonnets. I'm so tired from life and work and audition prep, so this is what came out of me today. Written on the train home from work #WritersSky #PoetsSky #Poetry #PoetsOfBlueSky #writingcommunity

Day two of #30DaysOfSonnets. After spending my 4 hour shift on the struggle-bus trying to write between customers, I came home and wrote this in 20 minutes. Why is writing like that?! #PoetrySky #poetry #writingcommunity

Yesterday I had the idea to write a sonnet every day for 30 days and today I wrote a sonnet, so that's my April sorted, I guess. #WritersSky #PoetsSky #Poetry #PoetsOfBlueSky #WritingCommunity #Sonnet

So, forgetting the date and being the gullible numpty that I am, I thought this was real for far longer than I should have #TheEmperorProtects #Warhammer www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

I mean, same composer, same literary source... I'd say it's close enough.

Day two of a headache that's not so bad that's utterly debilitating but just bad enough to suck all my will power. Fun.

Shame is so 2015
