Update: Nest coming along nicely. It's now a fully formed sleeping bag with a tiny entrance hole. They're adding big feathers for the interior lounge area - bitta luxe

Poking my head back into the dripping sewer of socials because I NEED to show people these pictures of a long-tailed tit nest I found yesterday

Every time a British unionist politician says "let me be clear" you're about to hear the most outrageous lie they've got the audacity to put into words

Who doesn't want a bailiff-free Britain? Today @acornunion.bsky.social took over the CCUA conference in Leeds - a yearly event where council officials mingle with the unregulated cowboy bailiff firms they hire to collect council tax debt and carry out evictions.

They're saying she's the worst camera woman of all fime

Watchers of the @traditionalscrench.bsky.social stream will remember this poor old faded rose of a building from my appearance talking about Porth High Street. She lives!!(?)

Bailiffs are scum, we don't want them in our communities and we don't want them in our country. We urge every one of our supporters to join ACORN, because this union is fighting to kick bailiff leeches out of Wales.

I recently interviewed Dee Murphy, 70, who was detained at gunpoint by Israeli forces while on a humanitarian mission to Masafer Yatta in May. I wrote this as an introduction to the situation in MY for those unfamiliar, and an update for those who are. voice.cymru/when-i-got-t...

Checking in with friends in Gaza and writing up an interview with an ISM volunteer detained by Israel in the morning; working at retail day job in the evening. I am doing mental muscle confusion on myself at all times

In July, we decided to try to meet Nikki and Sion's landlord again by visiting the address listed in their contract - which is in Newport. A group of us went with Nikki, who brought with her all the necessary documents and evidence to make it easy for the landlord. At last, we met the man! (5)

A little thread 🧵 Over the past couple of months, ACORN Cardiff have been taking on the case of our members Nikki and Sion, whose deposit has been unfairly withheld by their landlord for 8 months! Content warning: - Profanities - Threats of violence - Physical aggression (Not committed by us) (1)

"She had decided that in the grim calculus of risks for her family, the hope of getting a little food finally outweighed the risk of losing the adult who held their lives together."

"We leave you with some of the images of the man made famine in Gaza where more than 100 people, including children, have died of malnutrition. The Israeli blockade has plunged the strip into a starvation crisis rarely seen in modern history" Never again, right?

i love that "pension commission to look at why four-in-ten fail to save enough" goes live the same day as "water bills to rise 30%"

🚩 TOMORROW IN CARDIFF! The yearly commemoration of the Welsh volunteers in the International Brigades will be taking place at the Spanish Civil War Memorial in Alexandra Park, in Cathays, Cardiff. Join us and others as we say ¡nae pasaran!

Thinking about the Bayeux Tapestry? A while back I spoke with artists and historians about community embroidery. Come see the Palestinian History Tapestry, the Keiskamma Tapestry, Quakers sewing the Peterloo Massacre and more…🪡🇵🇸 www.bbc.com/culture/arti...

Cardiff Council are trying to kick 17 families out of their homes for alleged links to the 2023 riots. This is disgraceful behaviour from the council. They have no desire to help those in need and instead look to punish those who were expressing anger over a devastating event in their community.

Another push for people in Wales to support ACORN's call for a ban on using bailiffs to collect council tax debt. The Welsh Government is running a consultation until 23rd July. If you live in Wales, I urge you to sign: acornuk.good.do/cymru/wales-...

Hey. Do you have money? Do you need something to do with that money? How about sending some of it our way so we can continue to help provide food for hungry families in Abertawe? You get to help people AND stick a middle finger up to government that has reneged on its responsibilities. Win win! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

🚨Petition: Boot Bully Bailiffs out of Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 The Welsh Gov wants to know what you 🫵 think of the Council Tax System — we say it robs working families, and benefits bully bailiffs who profit off people's misery! Want change? Sign ACORN’s petition by 23rd July: acornuk.good.do/cymru/wales-...

Thinking about the Cave of Hands, some of the art dating back to 7,300BC, where 25% of the hand prints are thought to be that of children. Imagining those people gently holding their child up to the cave walls, and using their tiny little hands as a stencil. Art = love = the human soul

in the future ecosocialist UK we're going to do all sorts of Wicker Man shit on flying ant day

Any money you donate goes directly to providing struggling families with packages not only of tins but also plenty of fresh produce. We also cater these packages to dietary and religious requirements. This isn't cheap but people deserve to not have to live on baked beans and canned soup alone.

Shwmae! We need money to continue helping feed families in Swansea. With Westminster's latest attack on those receiving benefits we can only expect the demand for our food parcels to increase and we just don't have the funds to help as many people as we'd like. If you can donate please do 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

I'm on a podcast again! Pushing through post-warehouse shift heat madness daze to talk about Wales, Farage, Iran, the mental health crisis, and the temporary resurrection of The National Wales by a team of enterprising AI slop farmers: open.spotify.com/episode/2tGf...

if you are old enough to remember, at all, what was going on during the run-up to iraq, and fall for it again now, you are either vile beyond repair or such an enormous mark that you should be locked in a mcdonald's playplace for your own personal safety

I was mental for this take. I failed to consider the opinions that are routinely expressed in said warehouse

had an incredible time deciphering American Judaism with the homies

S4E16.5: A Serious Man This week we're joined by friend of the show, co-mayor, and all three hosts of this podcast @mattielubchansky.com (thats an S1E18 joke) to discuss the Coen Brothers' movie about a man faced with a lot of questions and seemingly no answers. www.patreon.com/posts/131893...

Say what I will about lugging boxes in a sweltering hot warehouse, I at least wasn't looking at and aware of World Events in there

You think you’ve got a read on what’s going on here and then a M Night Shyamalan twist gets dropped on you out of nowhere

Man, I have such a backlog of bird images to bother everyone with. Sacks full. Soon

Wow so you're telling me appeasing the genociders didn't mean they backed down from other conflicts. That's wild. It's not like there is any historical context for such a thing, and usually genociders are so chill!

i reviewed @brian-goldstone.bsky.social's stunning book There Is No Place For Us. the book will make you very sad and angry but it is a vital and inarguable rebuttal to the american fantasy that the only thing between you and a good life is hard work www.thenation.com/article/soci...
