Read Palestine Week is coming up on 29 November-December 5. A great way to support Palestinian writers is to read their work. Also, it's good to read it because of its quality. Why not take part and perhaps discover a talented writer you haven't read before.

Very pleased to see the WCC UK restate its commitment to the support of trans and non-binary folk in the discipline, particularly in light of the current political climate.

Worth noting that the U.S. has a specific law (the SPEECH Act) that means foreign libel judgments are unenforceable in U.S. courts. They do like a bit of hypocrisy.

It's about time someone told this reprobate repugnant emperor he's not wearing any clothes

How many people who despise trans people have the BBC had on to discuss the BBC's pro-trans bias? More than zero.

This holiday season, give Jeff Bezos and Amazon the gift of zero dollars. 🥰

For those lucky to have the means for gifts, mindful spending is power. Do we need more stuff, or could we spend instead on causes that need support? We don’t stop billionaires by pouring more money into their pockets. Collectively, we can shift the holiday spend to small business. Just imagine.

I dunno if folks in general are still snailposting, but looks like I am! 😂 When I sat down to draw yesterday, my head was full of snails, so here's an outlandishly colorful one. Hope it brightens your day! #art

I don’t know. We’ve got two Republicans where I am now, & I’m still gonna tell them what I think. How they actually vote after that is between them & their God —who actually likes “the meek”, based on what I’ve read.

The Republicans don’t hear from anyone, & they need to. Because in the absence of hearing from anyone, they get to assume they’re right & there are no consequences to voting like complete fucking assholes.

One thing I noticed last night is that people were talking about calling Democrats but no one was talking about calling Republicans. Because it wouldn’t do any good, I guess? Call them (email, send them a letter) regardless of party. The Republicans get let off way too lightly. WAY too lightly.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

LESS. THAN. A. WEEK. Took them less than a week to take one of the most visible public repudiations of the GOP in my lifetime and turn it into hog slop. I’m so mad my temperature is higher than my ACA premiums.

Please don't cut back shrubs and hedgerows until wildlife has taken all the autumn berries! Hawthorn, for example, is a fantastic source of food for birds - including blackbirds, thrushes and (if the weather gets very cold) waxwings.
