Headliners: PETE KALU and DOMINIC BERRY!
#BSLPoetry #York #AccessibleArt #Poetry #YDW25
Image shows inside of large former church, now the National Centre for Early Music performance space. Large pillars hold of the ceiling; to the right of centre is a massive arched window. Audience is seated to the left, and to the right, at stage front, are: a BSL terp, almost hidden to the side of a female poet wearing a pink hat and looking at paper. Behind them on the wall, to the far right of the image, is a lit-up large screen with words on it. Overlaid are three text boxes: "Join us and feel included!" and "Headliners Dominic Berry & Pete Kalu!" and "NCEM is a steps-free venue, excellent acoustics, BSL terps, poems on screen". Below text about headliners are two photos: a balding young white appearing male, one eyebrow cocked, pointing a finger at camera (Dominic), and a medium-brown middle aged man with a sweet half-smile, glasses, and a white pullover, peering out from between two orange curtains (Pete). Poetry for all is a disabled-led, disabled-focused annual event held in York, UK.

Can you IMAGINE the uproar then? Why not now?
Screenshot of two social media posts. The first sent out by the creepy Trump, today, 11.48am local. "I just had a good and very productive telephone call with President Putin of Russia prior to my meeting, at 1:00PM today, with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine. The meeting will take place in the main dining room of Mar-a-Lago. Press invited. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT" In reply to Trump, Mrs Betty Bowers posted on Bluesky: "I had a good and very productive phone call with Fuhrer Hitler of Germany prior to my meeting with Charles de Gaulle of France today. Fuhrer Hitler was very clear about which parts of France not currently under Nazi control he wants. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Winston Churchill."

7k elders booted from care in 2024! Lemme see if i have this right: When MomMom & PopPop are capable, SURE care homes want them; when they'd be OK near fam. BUT if they become too "difficult" for a CARE HOME (surely "too difficult" for working fam), they're kicked out! inews.co.uk/news/health/...
Care homes are evicting thousands of vulnerable and older people each year
Some have been forced to move due to local council funding battles but several families believe their loved ones are victims of 'revenge evictions'

As a malignant narcissist the deaths of others do not generally register with him. Except for the deaths of those he feels have wronged him—those bring him genuine delight. This prevailing ethos is true for the other evil fascists surrounding him. Classic war crimes—and the reckoning is coming🗡️🔥⚡️

This is from the Irish Labour Party, the SDLP and Irish Labour Women. A full-throated condemnation of UK Labour’s ban on trans women at its women’s conference.

“In the current climate, the trans community is the canary in the mine for the growing wave of anti-LGBTQIAP+ rhetoric.”
UK LABOUR PARTY BANS TRANS WOMEN FROM ATTENDING ITS CONFERENCE Labour LGBTQ+, SDLP LGBT & Labour Women Ireland condemns, in the strongest terms, the shameful decision by the UK Labour Party NEC ban trans women from attending the Labour women (UK) Conference. Trans women will be barred from the main part of the 2026 Labour (UK) women's conference and entrance to the main conference hall. The resulting prohibition will deny the rights of Trans women to have their say on policy debates, motions and national women's committee elections. The decision follows on from the UK supreme court's ruling on gender identification and the rights of self-determination for trans individuals. This regrettable decision by Labour UK calls into question the party's fundamental values and its commitment to human rights, equality and feminism. In the current climate, the trans community is the canary in the mine for the growing wave of anti-LGBTQIAP+ rhetoric that is fuelled by far-right agitators from inside and outside of the UK and Europe. This is a slippery slope that risks undermining social progress and the fundamental democratic rights we all depend on. It's imperative to make a stand and oppose this unjust action. We call on the UK Labour party's national executive to reverse this shameful decision and not exclude trans women from the democratic process.

Norwegian Airlines is advertising "Black Week" - i think someone needs to clarify what this allegedly represents.... although if "Black Friday" was traditionally the day a small business finally went into profit, i reckon all those Oligarch Bros should have BF sales in, idk, February eh?
