Been a couple months in the making.

So excited to finally get this out.

We have some exclusive stuff in there too. So you will not want to miss it.

Big thanks to @clairestranstalks.bsky.social.

Without her this wouldn't be possible. And is literally doing the work the NHS should be doing.

It's so exciting to announce the release of this.

It's been in the works for the past couple months. And there's a lot to digest.

One of the photos I've taken this year. I need to do more protests again as it's been a while since I've done some photography like this.

Sort of thing with a binary approach when it clearly isn't.

When I've been doing the list for actions against the UK supreme court. I always made sure to highlight both direct action and other lobbying options for fighting against the ruling.

And the use of these diversity of tactics genuinely help.

It's always frustrating when people approach this...

I kinda get fed up of this "one or the other" approach to how people approach organising.

A diversity of tactics is essential.

Violent tactics are just one tool in the toolkit when you fight for change.

But non violent approaches are also another tool.

Reform is taking one of our Green Party councillors in Worcester to court because the Reform candidate lost the election.

Trying to use the courts to undermine fair elections is another common tool in the fascist playbook.

Watching the latest 'YourParty' debacle yesterday cemented a few swirling thoughts.

- Corbyn is politically inept with zero energy - always has been but got away with it because he was shielded by others.

He was outmaneuvered by Starmer, who could play the game, and its happening again in YP.

I can't see your review anymore on there.

Did you know you can leave reviews of the EHRC on google?

Seems there aren't many reviews of them. Perhaps we can let them know our thoughts?

Apologies for the delay on this one!

Also, good to be back in the presenting seat again.

We break our own rules on this one. A certain "no grifter" rule.

Like, just starting with developing contacts for our reporting would be impossible to be done by AI.

There's probably more I'm missing too.

Bedwellj101 @alyx.whatthetrans.com · 28d

Ugh, ai can just fuck off

Ai will never be able to replicate the hard journalistic work we put into each episode we do.

And probably the same for many other podcasters too.

Was fun to get back in front of a camera again.

And to report on a protest that was really important to report on.

I also joined the green party just to vote Zack in.

However as soon as the election is over and winners are announced. I will leave the green party as I don't like being a part of political parties.

Ashleigh Talbot 🏳️‍⚧️ @ashleigh.whatthetrans.com · Aug 30

After we interviewed Zack for the podcast, I was so impressed I joined the Greens specifically to vote for him. If you're a member and you haven't voted yet, now's the time!

Caroline Litman @alicemydaughter.bsky.social · Aug 30

If you’re a Green Party member you have until midday to cast your vote for Zack Polanski and gift some hope to so many marginalised people.

I’ve never been massively political. But have been moved to join the Greens. I believe that under Zack they will be a party of integrity.The only one.
