People encouraging other people at the gym is one of my favourite things to see. 🥰💪

It's no competition. It's progress over perfection & we're all on our own journeys, but simultaneously in it together!

Show up. You'll never ever regret it! 💛✨️

That's a shame. That would be difficult! But ofc - only bad workout is the one you didn't do and all that! 💪

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

250,000 people turned out in Amsterdam to support Palestine today.

Our leadership does not represent us.

Working class voices are rarely the forefront of what we hear.

We ALL have problems.

MOST of them are because of our class system.

Our job is to reconcile our differences along these lines. As far as we can.

Fuck the bullshit they feed us.

We need to stand together.

The US are the same comrades I have here.

You either work for a living or you don't. Count yourself in that.

It's my responsibility as much as yours to ensure our class speaks for us.

Don't sit on a soap box and dismiss. Get involved.

This is our fight.

Wit?

Working class voices are me and my comrades around the world.

A few fanny's have expressed their bigotry and hatred.

They don't speak for me or the majority.

We want equality, empowerment, and freedom for us and everyone else.

Pay attention.

Don't get it twisted.

“Working class” voices have made their wishes quite clear.

They want white supremacy and are getting it in spades.

So not sure how that’s not at the forefront.

By that time I agree. Beforehand, not the case. An active British establishment worked to make that happen. Accounts maintain that. Like accounts in any place where it happened before. We can't ignore that.

Amy @amzomac.bsky.social · 3d

People who had a good life, don't ask to be evacuated unless external factors were put on them. It didn't happen in a vacuum, and these histories are never the histories are never the ones that are written. But aye, send us a DM, happy to discuss!

Totally. To some extent i do too. It's pure awful for under 30s.

Thankfully folk are getting more conscious and the new generation know it and as unserious as they are, they're also legends who are up for the fight. It's alll gonna be well ✊🏽

100% agree Vinny!

Amy @amzomac.bsky.social · 3d

Totally agree. It's completely out of order. Thank you. But collectively, we need to sort it out. It's no future for any of us!

I mind reading about St. Kilda back in the day. Last of the Highland clearances in the 1930s. They didn't know what coins were but forced to comply.

Scotland, like Éire, to a lesser degree, forced into occupation & capitalist life.

Not on.

We need community. They won't allow it. It'd topple them.

Definitely. Privileged to have a roof over my head just now and definitely not complaining at all about my current position. Just raging that this is what's out there for folk, myself included. Not on!

Just browsing Jillian. Long term, probs need something cheaper than currently paying! No urgency, it's all grand, just perpetually on the look out!

It actually is Alan! Genuinely was appealing for the price, then I gave my head a wobble. It's a joke!

100% jillian! Was speaking to my mum and she was like you could get a twin tub etc as an alternative. Aka back in the 90s when she had two young weans as a teenager in a shoebox.

The fact that we're even have to go back to this, with decent wages is a disgrace. Landlords are a poison!

Amy @amzomac.bsky.social · 3d

100% same shit here. This is 100% one of the better ones. But still, after you've paid for a Laundrette and electricity for the heating, shower etc, it's a joke.

More labour, more stress for hee haw!

I know Jillian! Absolutely wild so it is! 💀😂
