I have a quote taped up on my bathroom mirror: "Motion begets motion." When fear is overwhelming, taking any small action can help - you don't have to be able to see the final outcome (and can we ever actually see the final outcome?). Just doing one small thing to connect with community, to care...

This song feels incredibly relevant today.

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

shout out to women, got to be one of my favourite genders

i'm sorry, they cast JARED FUCKING LETO as skeletor in the masters of the universe movie???? that's a hate crime.

finally watched sinners lads

Hoping prison abolitionists will bite and share this one: research-informed, Palestinian-led mental health support for nearly a hundred kids who suffered in occupation detention. You support goes towards materials & facilitation. We have FOUR WEEKS: chuffed.org/project/hmg

Statement from @quaker.org.uk about tonight's police raid on Westminster Meeting House. Guys, I don't think they're buying the Met's line about it all being a cover for plotting "mass shoplifting"

using my fancy speakers for the task god intended (listening to theoden's speech to the rohirrim at the battle of pelennor fields)

not the police telling him off for calling racists flag shaggers , absolutely fucking pathetic

"we are living through unprecedented times". bro these times have so much precedent. these are some of the most precedented times of all time.

Skip years of therapy with this one weird trick

you are not prepared for the soundtrack

i love it when you ask a specific question on the internet & someone you don't know gives you an incredibly generalised answer, like you hadn't thought to look at some basic information first

god i fucking hate google. trying to find some mental health support resources for gazan refugees, so obviously google throws up the most heinous racist facebook rant from richard lowe on the search. just fucking appalling.

Keir Starmer cannot help but be the Richard Hammond of war crimes

I was looking forwards to some Labour Cope but Starmer writing a raving letter blaming it all *George Galloway* is just beautiful, nobody could have predicted that

one of those news moments that just feels so completely detached from reality that it's absolutely crazy making. pointing out that politicians support things that they openly & proudly support is "nasty" now??? meanwhile the open white supremacy in reform's campaign & labour's policies is fine

This is so stupid and I laughed like a drain

they should make it legal to hit senior management every time they propose job cuts

nothing like getting a haircut to highlight just how much your greys are coming in

my phone is starting to seriously do the whole planned obsolescence thing & just. urghhhhhh.

very important video please watch

'So tell me, is there a Mr Conduct in Public Office?'

HERE WE FUCKING GO

would like to take a moment to remember one my personal general election 2024 highlights: local alba enthusiastically canvasing in an area they weren't even running a candidate in, bc none of them seemed to have twigged that the constituency boundaries had changed

arriving at the studio to film my wuthering heights adaptation: what up, i'm emerald, i'm 40, and i never fucking learned how to read

my english teacher loved film, so we watched soooooo much totally disconnected stuff (along with the compulsory kenneth brannagh shakespeares). the mist, kidulthood, shaun of the dead, withnail & i, life is sweet are some i remember us watching; there were certainly more

Ok I have far too much to do today to spend more than 2 minutes on this but here’s my political cartoon of the day, please enjoy

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

today ended up being a two shower morning, bc turns out i'm allergic to some hair product i used after my first shower 👍

think one thing this book does well is straddle the tension between despair & hope. curious to know what other people think, esp bc for me this book doesn't really articulate anything new so much as it just provides better words for feelings & orientations i've already arrived at

Me whenever I have to communicate with other human beings #anxiety

i was literally thinking yesterday that perhaps it was time for a rewatch of casablanca, the best movie ever made

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

emotionally devastated! by the latest episode of the pitt

The Met is keeping receipts for "enforcement at a later date" in case the Home Office's appeal succeeds.

You cannot hope to bribe or twist, thank God! the British journalist. But, seeing what the man will do unbribed, there's no occasion to.

The proscription order remains in place pending an appeal. Until further legal proceedings are complete, it remains a criminal offence to support or promote Palestine Action.

Breaking: on two counts, the High Court has ruled that the Labour government's proscription of the campaign group Palestine Action was unlawful – a win for its co-founder Huda Ammori, who sought a judicial review of the ban

hold on i gotta take this

insufficient words to describe the PURE JOY i just felt coming out the house & seeing blue sky for the first time in weeks

it's my birthday

time to crack out the lettuce, lads?

cautiously placing a fiver on zarah saying something offensive about independence, jeremy claiming some arcane rulebook illegitimacy, the scots kicking off & YP getting their first formal splinter group before even actually electing an official leader.

Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso Cuarón put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens “Children of Men”.
