on this international workers' day, please remember those whose labour goes largely unacknowledged, unappreciated & unpaid. here's to the carers & the cleaners & everyone else without whom the world would pretty much grind to a halt.

reform are just turdbo-charged tories. they don't care about you unless you're minted. they'll demolish workers' rights, the NHS & most of our hard-earned comforts.
help the TUC & megaphone to reach potential reform voters so they know that their lives won't improve under a reform government.

#art #history: if most of the people born into privilege were like nancy cunard (born #otd in 1896), maybe we wouldn't have such an itchy collective guillotine finger. this fashionable fash-basher & anti-racism campaigner (& heir to the cunard shipping line) was a writer who became a muse to man ray, james joyce & langston hughes.
when she wasn't busy being effortlessly avant-garde, nancy worked as a translator for the french resistance.

@gvenema @eslam94 @rania40 @aral @chielk @whangdoodler @lashman @vega stripe has put a hold on the funds whilst they conduct what they say is a routine review of my account. :(

@eslam94 just to clarify for everyone reading: chuffed hasn't done anything. stripe has put a hold on my account whilst they take weeks to conduct what they say is a 'routine review'.
@aral, please, could you advise how difficult it would be to reverify if i have to start from scratch a new fundraiser for islam?

@AsarSameer @raphaellakay @Geri @fabio @divya it's so unjust! :D
my dog-ter is the same. i look after her in the day & make sure that she has healthy meals, good walks, clean feet, comfy bed. who gets all the wags & happy barks? her da!

@AsarSameer @raphaellakay @Geri @fabio @divya yeah. also familiar. all i have to say is, 'where's your parge?' & she's off.
the world runs on mum power, though. :)

@AsarSameer @raphaellakay @Geri @fabio @divya well, i can already tell you that you're a much better mum to sila than i could ever be (even if i had human kids in addition to my non-human family).

@AsarSameer @raphaellakay @Geri @fabio @divya just being honest. :)
it's an honour to know you & sila. against all odds, you bring pure happiness & i can't wait until your lives reflect all the goodness you put out into the world. love you!

sign this to demand that the UK government disclose all details of peter mandelson's connections with palantir. we need to disentangle ourselves from any contracts with thiel's surveillance monster.

when you witness the complete impunity with which the wealthy/ruling classes behave & the widespread harm that goes hand-in-hand with it, to see the punishment meted out against those of conscience & compassion just rips you apart.

i've succumbed (after a long absence) & added a blog to my illustration website because, given the current trajectory of human existence/technology, i feel it's a good thing to have a space i own where i can deposit the thoughts that plague my brain.
i've not yet fleshed out these first posts, but i'm hoping that, as i do, i'll have something of interest to say.

plastic is a real problem. scientific consensus estimates that, globally, just 9% of plastics is recycled - & even recycled plastic leaches microplastics into the *everywhere*. all of this is in service to the survival of one of the most insidious gangs of corporate thugs ever to exist: the fossil fuel industry.

i've only just got round to watching this channel 4 documentary about jeff bezos's shitty, shitty criminal enterprise, 'the great amazon heist'. if you haven't yet seen it, get your eyes on it - especially if you still willingly use the company.

the zionists have truly & fully lost their humanity.

@raniagaza @celestinia @gaza_verified_campaigns @Rania
aral (@aral), i've created a chuffed fundraiser for rania & she's made a different mastodon account to go with it. does she need to be verified again for this new masto account?
