#Gaza is not just facing a humanitarian catastrophe. It is facing the systematic destruction of a people. Doctors in Gaza know they cannot stop a genocide. But world leaders can, if they choose to act: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-do...

Come back, Jennifer Makumbi. We miss you!

Maybe don't share videos of a guy shot in the neck.

My father is dead. The sun shines overhead. My limbs tingle. A woman compliments my hair, pink. 'Thank you' I say. A hand wrings my heart like a dishcloth. The daughter wants dessert after school. I hurl my heart-free body to an ice cream parlour. 'Thank you,' she says. My father is still dead.

God, I am tired of American news. Were we not all here when they stormed the Capitol? Now that Babbitt woman is not only a 'hero' but her family has allegedly been compensated. Stay safe, friends. This is the worst timeline.

Such hate on the TL.

Well. This is a devastating read and I am trying to stop myself from weeping. What a sad state of affairs.

Many people I follow are wilding out at #AEW which is lovely hey by the way wrestling fans, I have written a pro-wrestling themed murder mystery, it’s out in January, Simon Miller helped and everything www.waterstones.com/book/the-gra...

Dazzling aka 'Ozoemena' Russian edition. Sold before the war in Ukraine and subdued because of it.

Hmm. Interesting concept but struggling with whether reading it might make me complicit. Which might sort of be the point. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

I remember why I stopped watching The Flash. It is poorly made and badly plotted, the rules are like shifting sands. What a foolish show. I hope everyone dies.

Postcode pricing is despicable.

Also known as the Littlefinger Effect.

If you haven't yet, read 'The Seawomen' by Chloe Timms. Fantastic read. I hate that it had to end.

Soad's had her account suspended yet again. She's a real person! In real need! Please @support.bsky.team can you stop blocking her account?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Time travel can bite my flat bum.

Why oh why are DC TV shows and films so crap? Someone explain it to me please. And this is despite me liking Tom Welling as Superman and Grant Gustin as the Flash. The shows might start out promising but pretty soon, they start to suck. Hard. Lana-Lang-as-a-witch suck.

The hell kind of name is Eobard anyway?

Once upon a time, there was a ruthless president, he huffed and he puffed and tried to blow, alas! trapped in a fleshy maze of perfumed sex merchants, he expired. And there was dancing and merriment in the streets of Nigeria for many nights. May your FANTAsies come true. May you also know such joy.

Coming up on Monday the 4th of August, me, rabbiting on about patronage, parenting and other artistic concerns, and Cailean Steed, being very patient.

I welcome the government’s move to recognise Palestinian statehood, but it must be unconditional and immediate. In Gaza, Israel is killing one person every 12 minutes, and famine is continuing to mount. We need sanctions, an arms embargo, and recognition now.

Yes, Grant Gustin is the best Flash but the show is the pits. Rewatching and remembering the crap CGI, rubbish ships and annoying plots. Also, Arrow crossovers with The Wrong Amell. Ew.

Grant Gustin is the only Flash I recognise. He was BRILLIANT.

Only 18 months for a police officer who drove a vulnetable teen girl to a nature reserve under the pretext of getting her statement, only to pester her for kisses and sex. What a loser. What a creep. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Tom Welling remains the best Superman, ever. I haven't watched the latest offering but I know this to be true.

We are living in SUCH A TIME.

I want this little girl to live and I want people to make art and neither of those things should be controversial or painful

Way too much going on right now for human brains to process. I was about to call PayPal to complain about censorship and then a Palestinian family I am supporting where I can sent me a picture of their daughter holding a sign saying thank you to me and now I’m just staring
