...and a Happy Birthday to @racheltaylorbeales.bsky.social! 🎂

We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

Consider the fact that it is the only Jewish party leader currently being targeted after an antisemitic attack. Rather than Nigel Farage, who has allegations of extreme antisemitic behaviour from over 30 people he grew up with.

Today is #bandcampfriday - @robinince.bsky.social and I made an album - very excited to say that the next instalment from our recording session will be coming out hopefully within the next week or so (couldn’t quite get my it ready on time for today) in the meantime -here’s one we made earlier!

The Untangled Knot is a community based, collaborative music project focusing on issues of inclusion, freedom, and the things that make our local areas special to each of us. What makes your own area special? @racheltaylorbeales.bsky.social @shirley-sings.bsky.social #BethPorterCello

As I keep saying: Because no matter what abusers take from their victims, they don't want to take the blame. And one of the prerogatives of power is to be in charge of blame, and abusers routinely exercise that power to make their own acts someone else's fault.

"I don't want to happen but it probably will" is classic abuser language: "look what you made me do." Except it's not on the scale of a household, but of a nation of 90 million and millennia of civilization.....

My thoughts summed up by Edwin Star - m.youtube.com/watch?v=ztZI...

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military. The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him. Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

Never thought I’d see the day when a US President threatened to carry out a Holocaust and such a significant chunk of the US population are ok with that.

I #JustListened to the debut release of @theuntangledknot.bsky.social, a collaborative EP(?) by @johnreed.bandcamp.com, @racheltaylorbeales.bsky.social, @shirley-sings.bsky.social and Beth Porter. It's Folk in a variety of styles; all very lovely in their own right. Highly recommended! However...

... however, this is apparently intended as a much larger project, with workshops, albums and concerts. @johnreed.bandcamp.com wrote about it on his blog and I recommend giving that a read. And also to follow @theuntangledknot.bsky.social to keep up with what they come up next! 👍

I’m celebrating @recordstoreday on the 18th April 2026 with an exclusive vinyl release of my Acoustic Album - the first time this has been available on vinyl! Released exclusively on Crystal Clear LP for Record Store Day. cookingvinyl.lnk.to/RSD26 #RSD26

If you’re for glorious bluebell woods in the springtime, Brighton is for you. (Available in Stanmer Park - for a limited time only!)

Thank you to everyone who's contributed stories so far about how #LibrariesChangeLives and sorry to all i've not replied to today. Hectic one and in the studio with the band all weekend but i'll catch up in between. Keep em coming, these are brill. @robinince.bsky.social could you share pls 🙏

It’s not Bandcamp Friday it turns out, but hopefully you can still find time to listen to our album

John has written a lovely blog post about the Untangled Knot creative performance collaboration and community project.

It should be #bandcampfriday - please take a look at the album of poetry and music I made with @racheltaylorbeales.bsky.social - she created beautiful music normallyweirdassociates.bandcamp.com/album/weirdl...

More drilling in the North Sea would be a catastrophic mistake for Labour - locking us into high bills, and betraying their climate ambitions. If they’re serious about energy security, the answer is to double down instead on renewables and efficiency - and lower bills for good

Such a fun project to be involved in! The Untangled Knot - officially launching today!
