We’re still boycotting

This is what it’s like to be Palestinian: Israel threatening you with “severe consequences” if you express any joy at the homecoming of your loved ones from captivity in Israeli prisons, where they’ve been tortured for decades.

This one has been glued to me like a limpet to a rock since I came back from my travels

A circulating video of slain Palestinian journalist Saleh Al-Jaafrawi, who was killed by Israeli-backed gangs this evening.

It hurts how your geography can decide how much pain you’re forced to carry

I’ve passed through the arrivals section of Liverpool Airport for gods knows how long now, and I only noticed today on one of the many posters advertising what our lovely city has to offer that I feature on one of them (this image would’ve been from around 11 years ago)

Final day in Malta, and I visited the Ħagar Qim and Mnajdra temples, some of the oldest freestanding structures in the world. These were something I always wanted to see, but the surrounding view was something else. Genuinely breathtaking, could even see Tunisia on the horizon. Best €10 I ever spent

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

Visiting the Camino Blue Lagoon was a let down. I know I’m part of the problem in this case, it was ridiculously overcrowded. I went to explore and walk around the island but turned back and stayed on the boat after seeing so much rubbish in what’s also supposed to be a protected nature reserve 💔

After billions of years, the sun dies. All is black. Nothing grows. All life is extinct. Your Party (Corbyn’s Version), however, has yet to officially launch

Yeah nah, this is on point

This far way from land and I can still get a phone signal. We really are living in the trenches back in the UK 😭

Reclaiming the English flag from the fasc is still white-coded. It’s an ugly flag with an equally ugly history, move on!

Regret to report the labubus have achieved the impossible, something not even the Ottomans could do: they’ve taken Valletta

First impressions of Malta so far: - Pedestrian crossings make the same “bup-bup-bup” sound as they do in NZ/Oz - The English language is so jarring to see everywhere in a climate so unBritish - Maltese is so beautiful to listen to - The pigeons look very clean and elegant - Rabbit stew is lit 🔥

If only he was as committed to her as his is with that dusty old wig of his

My grandmother has wheels, therefore she’s a bike

Another day & still no focus on Tadhg Hickey & the other 15 Irish flotilla hostages in the media Clearly standing up against genocide & being kidnapped in International waters by a terrorist state is not news worthy in Ireland Very sad to see that this is where we are in 2025

If this site goes to shit I think that’s me done with Twitter-expys. I’m so done with social media, whānau

Not sure I’d name myself after the chief paramount of the royal paedo family if I was on a crusade against ‘sexual immorality’

Legitimately thought this was one of the Chuckle Brothers there for a second

that's not a very nice way to refer to London museums

Protect Nyongbella at all costs. She’s such a ball of unbothered sunshine in this season of Drag Race UK

Ta Nehisi Coates called this absolutely right: people who refuse to draw the line at genocide are unlikely to draw the line at democracy. I would add that everything they say and do should be considered with that in mind.

I've resisted the term "Ulsterification" cos it implies that NI's political culture is somehow un-British, rather than an entirely British weaponisation of Britishness, enabled and enacted by British interests. But the PSNI boomeranging back to London to round up protesters is really something.

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others." she was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy." when you're definitely the good guys

Blustery day, isn't it? Here's the National Grid: Live generation data. Wind and solar are generating 74.2% of our electricity. Gas is generating 13.1%. And yet our household electricity prices are pegged to... the volatile price of gas. Which is the basis on which the right attacks... renewables.

Gen Z have every right to be calling millennials cringe

Benjamin speaking at Flag Waving on Friday giving an update on a statement received from MFaT regarding the three New Zealanders abducted by Israel Information is coming out now from the activists who have been released that they weren’t treated well #NZPol

“They dragged little Greta (Thunberg) by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” says Turkish activist and Sumud Flotilla participant Ersin Celik

Queck indeed. British Library, 14th c. Add. 49.622

Had the government said "as a mark of respect, we'd like you to cancel football matches, concerts etc AND protests today", then fair enough. But to single out the protest they've long wanted to stop anyway as the one thing we should not do looks like disgraceful exploitation of a horrific attack.

In an alternate universe Starmer is the manager of a local Nando’s and spends most of his time policing the soft drink machine so no one gets a freebie

good morning

The more I see Zohran Mamdani on my feed the more I’m developing a wee bit of a crush on him. I get it, I see the vision

Reject modernity, embrace tradition

i actually prefer it when the mods actively hate the user base and vice versa, that’s how every great message board worked for years and i think we should give it a whirl

Irish detainees from the Gaza flotilla have told their lawyers they were kicked, pushed and cable tied. Outside the notorious Ktzi’ot prison where they are currently held, Miriam Azem told me of “aggressive treatment and violence” the detainees say they received: www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

Gaza fishermen able to fish for first time thanks to sumud flotilla distraction they STILL FED MY PEOPLE. 🥹

I’ve officially entered middle age: went into my mobile network provider to enquire about an issue with my phone, turns out the problem was literally a switch had been turned off 🤦🏽‍♂️

lol at "nearly all 12 apostles". nobody cares what bartholomew thinks

"And when Keir Starmer - in one of the most deeply cynical and morbid acts I’ve seen in my lifetime - decides to recognise a palestinian state at the same moment that his government is an active participant in the murdering of the Palestinians, then we must never be silent." - Zack Polanski

What the actual fuck

Extremely simple - the fact nobody in the public sphere (apart from Polanski) is prepared to say this is extremely worrying

Taylor Swift is the Keir Starmer of music. No I won’t be elaborating

They did a gender reveal in the Anglian church?

He flatlined a second time
