Aphra Brandreth. Awful woman.

I hardly dare to hope any more but watching Zack Polanski on Question Time almost gives me hope 🤞

okay, brace yourselves for this folks.

An english politician speaking honestly and (in my view) accurately, without a hint of spin, racism or rhetoric. And the audience clapped!

This is not AI. this actually happened on BBC last night. 👇

(the new leader of the UK Greens Party: Zack Polanski)

The BBC is doing an incredibly in-depth interview with someone talking about the Israeli hostages. I'm glad they will be freed, but why are we not hearing anything about the Palestinian hostages held by Israel, some of whom are children and medics?

I hate this woman so damn much. I think I'm actually, after nearly 50 years on this planet, gonna join a political party, because the Green Party are the only vague hope I can see for this island overrun by bigots.

"Write to your MP" There is literally no point in writing to my MP. Absolute waste of space vile Tory I'm stuck with representing me. FINALLY got back to me about my emails regarding ceasing arming Israel, with this mealy mouthed smug cut and paste praising Trump and framing Israel as the victims.

Oh awesome, thank you so much! It fits a standard belt, that is, 1.5" / 3.8cm wide. Or obviously would fit a narrower belt than that too! I'll get that packed up for you now, you just caught me in time for my post office run!

Dear God seeing 'Trump snubbed for Nobel Peace Prize despite ending war in Gaza!' headlines on every gutter rag. Israel have not ceased their attack! The US remains the main supplier of arms to Israel! Yet people read headlines and believe them. Boycott Israeli products. Vote for peace.

Boycotting works.

Now my brain is also guilting me for whingeing so obviously I am having an anxiety day and I'm gonna log off before I dig in any deeper 🙃

Die Booth @diebooth.bsky.social · 2d

(And anxiety).

🖤 I know I do. I just wish the guilt would do one.

Like if I have to pay the government extortionate amounts for basic human rights, then I can get myself some treats. (It's very hard to get past upbringing innit).

These sound perfect for folks going to protests and the like right now or people doing spell and ritual work for their protection and victory.

Petition to sign.
To note, if new rules were made, it would also negatively affect trans men and nonbinary people as well as trans women.

Hello all.
Earlier this summer I started thinking about a plan where I would release 3 open calls (OCs) for the 2026 anthologies (“Tea or Coffee, Stars, and Gravity”, “Endings”, “Owners Manuals”) and couple this with a Kickstarter campaign to fund all 3 books at the same time. /1

Die Booth @diebooth.bsky.social · 2d

28 years is such an achievement. I hate what's happening in the world now. I don't have anything more constructive to say as I think most creatives are struggling under the current conditions. We can only carry on and hope it doesn't last forever. I'm honoured to be in your latest volume.

With "Mmeory" now in the hands of most US backers and international backers very very soon, the book is officially available on the AaN site - aanpress.com/aanorder.htm.... And here is a photo of the book at a local bookstore. Order your memory manipulation anthology today and beat the holiday rush.

Thanks so much for the reposts and to the people who just bought stuff from my Kofi, it means a lot 🖤 I am dreadful at self promotion but creating is my main job, so I super appreciate any signal boost or support.
