There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism.
A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer.
Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore.
They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

Niche politics/theatre fact for you…
Keir Starmer met Steve Reed in the Royal Court bar in July 2019 to talk leadership bid. Jack Thorne’s “The End of History” was playing then. Its blurb? “When you’ve named each of your offspring after your socialist heroes, you’ve given them a lot to live up to”

I’d not say I’m spiritual but I did pick up a play at random this morning in need of inspiration-
My copy of Torchsong Trilogy was owned previously by a Glen Goei
Cards on the table - I had to google him - but I was suitably inspired.
