Thrilled to be the special guest performer at Off the Chest's birthday event this October! This is my first time on a proper line-up at a poetry event and I couldn't be more excited. Get your ticket! 🎟️ shorturl.at/42qVo

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday. Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month bylinetimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

just go an ig ad for a serum "clinically proven to reduce the appearance of expression lines" ...EXPRESSION LINES! god forbid my face hold any evidence of having ever smiled or laughed in my lifetime

Happy #NationalPoetryDay! I wrote a short poem about writing in celebration ✍🏼

Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death. Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

we really do need to figure out how this guy managed to create an environment where he can say "i wasted an amount of taxpayer dollars so large I can't even tell you how much it was" & it doesn't cause immediate national outrage

this! don't call me a "denialist", "pessimist" or anything negative if I have all the empirical evidence and receipts while the other side shows up with "potentials", "possibilities" & other buzzword. call me an expert, a scientist or a realist

Completely devoured the audiobook of @adelewalton.bsky.social's 'Logging Off: The Human Cost of our Digital World.' A personal yet thoroughly researched and accessible look at growing up with social media, big tech, gen-AI, workers rights, and more. Felt equally terrifying and galvanising 📚

I recently performed my poem about Ethan Hunt to a crowd while a pianist accompanied with a relaxed Mission Impossible theme and it was literally the best moment ever!!

3 years today since I lost my dad. I wrote this 6 months after and every word is still true. Trying to live good and do good, always with you in mind.

For Anas Al-Sharif, and every Palestinian journalist killed by Israel 🇵🇸🕊️

just a fun little poem i wrote about ethan hunt @paramountpictures.bsky.social #missionimpossible

The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

Ended up writing a poem about it.

my post office has had a small refurb, and where there used to be colouring books and stationery there is now a locked glass cabinet filled with vape pens and labubus and it made my heart a little sad

Performed my writing for the first time very recently at an Off the Chest open mic! Despite the trembling notebook, I am really so proud of this and can’t wait to do more and build my confidence🫰🏼🎤

Pleased to have voted today for @zackpolanski.bsky.social as Leader of @greenparty.org.uk – truly think he can make some real progress for the left in the UK, and hopefully open up collaboration with Corbyn, Sultana, and the new party forming 💚

Haven’t stopped thinking about the Skims ‘Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap’ and morning sheds on TikTok, and ‘high maintenance to be low maintenance,' and thus felt compelled to write something. millicentwrites.substack.com/p/the-mornin...

🚨 SUMMER OF ACTION FOR GAZA Israel is starving the Palestinian people in Gaza to death with its blockade. We must take emergency action to pressure our government to do all it can to end Israel's genocide. Take part in our Summer of action for Gaza in August and September. #StopArmingIsrael

If any pals want to see some live poetry, I have two gigs coming up after reading my work aloud for literally the first time last week. Terrifying and exciting in equal measure... 📅 August 7, Spit Nights 🎟️ shorturl.at/KeFQ5 📅 August 20, Morocco Bound Books 🎟️ shorturl.at/1IxPv

I think this mass produced trinket culture is for sure a recession marker. We are looking for any semblance of control so we buy ‘little treats’ because it’s all we can afford that will offer that agency.

It's time for a new kind of political party - one that belongs to you. Sign up at yourparty.uk.

The EHRC – the body which is meant to protect our human rights – is proposing guidance which would turn the Equality Act into a bathroom ban. If this becomes law, it would force trans people out of public life. And terrifyingly - this is all happening behind closed doors 🧵

A spontaneous poem about a special experience I had at a spoken word night this weekend 💙 @spitnights.bsky.social millicentwrites.substack.com/p/i-heard-my...

I visited the Aesop Free Queer Library on my lunch and had such lovely conversations in the queue! They had so many exciting titles, it was a difficult task to choose my book, but excited to have walked away with a hardback of Ocean Vuong's The Emperor of Gladness 📚

With the unseasonably hot weather we’ve been experiencing (every year), it feels timely to kick my @hyphenonline.com books column off with five compelling reads on the climate crisis.

Since Bob Vylan said "Death, death to the IDF" the IDF has killed 400 Palestinians. Which is why he said what he said.

Our politics is broken. That's why I’ve joined the Green Party to vote for @zackpolanski.bsky.social Be part of the movement: join.greenparty.org.uk

Had the most gorgeous evening at Bard Books celebrating four authors and their debut novels, hearing more about their processes and inspirations was so energising 📚 Congratulations Xenobe Purvis, Gabriel Flynn, Lisa Smith, and Gurnaik Johal!

Yes, joy is an act of resistance. It just can't be your ONLY act of resistance.

obviously good that nick frost actually did address this but a) human rights aren't really an opinion b) you're still doing the series!!! she's actively contributing to making life hell for trans people!!! why are you acting as though she said she hates italian food or something?!

Every person aboard the Madleen is a hero. The genocidal Israeli state's attack on unarmed activists aboard a UK-flagged vessel delivering aid to Gaza is a flagrant breach of international law. The UK must sanction Israel, end all arms & surveillance, & expel its ambassador.

We MUST speak up for the Madleen Freedom Flotilla NOW. 📧 Email your local rep and the FCDO 🪧 Find your local protest 🇵🇸 Don’t look away London — FDCO Building at 1 pm and Downing Street at 6 pm

🌎 Had a great time today exploring @earthfest.bsky.social Events like these are so energising and crucial to combat the oft paralysing anxiety that comes with fighting for climate justice. Earth Fest is still on tomorrow ft. an expo, panels, workshops and music – and it's FREE!

Israel continues to block humanitarian aid into Gaza — and has now hinted it will prevent the Madleen from distributing aid to starving Palestinians. The British government must end its complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Take just 30 seconds of your day to support the demand of our government to immediately suspend ALL arms licences and exports to Israel. 🇵🇸 Palestine will be free. 🔗 shorturl.at/o45Cx

"We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words." Ursula K. Le Guin, 2014
