#art #history: today, let's celebrate ursula le guin's appearance on this rock (#otd in 1929).
ursula's words of prescience & compassion always provide a bit of solace when you're feeling despondent. to wit:
'i think hard times are coming, when we will be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, & can see through our fear-stricken society & its obsessive technologies, to other ways of being.'

@eslamradwan1_D_5 we will fight for you, eslam & gaza, until you live in a free & abundant palestine. x

@eslamradwan1_D_5 i hate that you are undergoing this barbarity.
do you know how to have your account verified here? have you started the process? sorry for all the questions.

@eslamradwan1_D_5 no need to apologise (although i am not a sir). i am tagging @aral in the hopes that he will see this & help verify you.

@MediaActivist excellent analysis, jay - as ever.

@agitprop_n_absurdity heroes, all. indubitably. may they stay safe &, by some miracle, break the siege.

#art #history: i wish those bampots who're going about with their flags of st george & their paintbrushes & their screaming at hotels & their fear-based racism would realise that immigration is an integral part of a strong society. where would england be without freddie mercury? nowheresville.
happy 79th, mister bad guy. <3

@Geri @nusher @PGBeattie & nooch. NOOCH is becoming a luxury.
there's just no political will to address the problems that are contributing to these conditions.

@nusher @PGBeattie vegan household speaking & i can confirm that it's been the same leap for us. even the cost of our local veg box delivery is insane. i don't know how people who are less well-off than we are (~£35k a year) even manage to meet basic needs. the situation is so unnecessary & completely depressing.

@nusher @PGBeattie yeah, definitely. it's from glasgow, but they're already teetering on a knife's edge in terms of being able to make enough profit to survive.

let's talk tea towel shame. here's the most ignominious of my collection (but i had a vacancy for a floor scrubber, anyway, so it's fine).
show me yours.

centrist dads doing more for gaza than the UK gov by wrapping the building opposite labour HQ with this graphic that the cowards can't ignore...
