Proud to be standing for the #GreenParty in OldTown today! #LocalElections #UKPolitics #Eastbourne #GPEW

(EDIT: i should have said, I am only a paper candidate and won’t win, this is a LibDem stronghold, but still proud 😊)

This morning i spent 20 min carefully outlining, to a family member, how the Golders Green stabbing is being misrepresented in media (as terrorism, leaving out third, Muslim victim, etc), and why this is being done (to damage Greens and curtail Palestinian protests). She thanked me and said this all makes a lot of sense.

Made me realise that these things are not so clear to many around us; and that it’s really worth taking the time to talk people through all this. #UKPolitics

#Eurovision matters

Leading figures including Paul Weller, Primal Scream, Paloma Faith, Kneecap and former Eurovision winners Emmelie de Forest and Charlie McGettigan are among more than 1,000 musicians supporting the boycott of Eurovision. In an open letter published today by No Music for Genocide, the signatories say the contest will “whitewash and normalise Israel’s genocide, siege and brutal military occupation against Palestinians.”

My 12yo nephew - who has had a difficult time at school due to severe dyslexia - just made this for his mother for breakfast! Isn’t it amazing? Super proud aunt here.

Labour MPs vote through draconian law giving police powers to ban recurring protests

Recurring protests which might have no connection to each other could now be banned by police on the basis of “cumulative disruption” caused by past or future planned protests in the same “area”.

I reject everything that Labour has become. What dystopian times we live in. #UKPolitics

Israel launches massive strikes on central Beirut after Iran ceasefire

Reportedly hundreds dead. Israel is doing everything to jeopardise the ceasefire. A murderous, horrific regime.

💯with Polanski and Davey on this. This must happen immediately.

“The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military.“

Not sure whether this qualifies as #MagicInTheMundane but the mushrooms on this tree stump in my neighbourhood are something else. I mean, zoom in!

@PhoenixSerenity @robtherunt

Thank you both - as is evident from my post i knew nothing about these kinds of funguses and am now reading up on turkey tails and false turkey tails. Fascinating!

#ClimateDiary Morning walk to shops seeing debris of storm #Goretti everywhere i was musing all the small ways in which our lives are crumbling, getting harder than they used to be (for some reason pinning this on Woody Allen films, privileged couples casually having dinner together in restaurants as if it’s nothing - that world, always for the few, doesn’t exist any more) - then saw this wall and thought it was apt! #TheCrumble #CollapseDiary

#ClimateDiary How are you all doing - climate emotion wise? Where are you at? Hope you are doing ok. This is not a call for help or advice - I too get sustance from small things, i am OK in that sense - just wanted to check in on everyone. I have to say after height of activism 2019-23 i am (through personal circumstances, too, but mostly i think through learning and seeing things differently) in a very different space now. No energy, even for just posting here. I realise this is 1/2

#ClimateDiary Report by German researchers (came out in October, missed it then): climate change is accelerating faster than initially assumed; we cannot exclude 3°C warming by 2050

@aral This is always the way! Thank you for all the anazing work you do 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

#Gaza The latest, most extreme version kf colonial capitalsm - neoliberal genocide. Sickening beyond words.

“Palestinians would be encouraged into “voluntary” departure. Those who own land would be offered “a digital token” in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, to finance a new life elsewhere.

Those who stay would be housed in properties with a tiny footprint of 323 sq ft – minuscule even by the standards of many non-refugee camp homes in Gaza.”

#Gaza Today, another beyond comprehension event in this beyond comprehension genocide:
Israel strikes the aid workers and journalists who have arrived to rescue and document. Four more journalists killed, all live streamed.

There is #KnowTheirName reading in Eastbourne today: we are reading all the names of the children killed in Gaza. I arrived during the reading of 6 year olds. 30min later, still doing 6 year olds. It is just awful. #Gaza

UK close to giving Israel's Elbit £2bn contract to train British soldiers

“for Israeli companies such as Elbit Systems… the ongoing genocide has been a profitable venture”.

@aral Exactly, exactly this. So well put. My number one cultural reference in the last few years, even pre-genocide, has been and contiues to be The Fire Nation in The Last Avatar (the series). We are the fire nation: so many nice normal people part of an imperial machine destroying everything.
