Great to see IPSC are going ahead with this demo!

It's important to mark our victories, clarify why we fought, and celebrate together.

This morale boost is essential; we can use the energy to push the OTB over the line.

When we mobilise together, we can win big victories!

Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign @ipsc.bsky.social · Sep 1

We will still be at the Central Bank tomorrow, to mark this big moment for our campaign and to reiterate the demand for an end to all Irish state complicity in Israel’s apartheid and genocide against Palestinians. No genocide bonds here or anywhere. #StopFundingGenocide

Can you be arrested for an anagram? How to hide Palestine Action, useful for placards at demos

no elite captains
I alone, pittances
a polite instance
penalties action
set national epic
a spleen citation
inpatient solace
antiseptic alone
a social penitent
pain at elections
Atlantic peonies

Always helps to remember that the initial essay criticising The Poetry Review for “speaking only to itself” was a review of the issue that included this poem, which was read and shared by tens of thousands. x.com/PoetrySociet...

Not to be a pain but would you mind sending me a link to the registration if you could? The website page seems to not be working for me!
