One of my goals for 2024 was to get a poem published, and I did it! (Even if it didn’t come out til 2025 😆) Check out this poem, inspired by the most incredible interfaith activism I was blessed to be part of, in Bad Apple Magazine: badapplemagazine.org/wp-content/u...

A core reason why Farage and other far right leaders have managed to pretend they are the voice of the "left behind" is because of the classism of the media, political and academic elite
Diverting attention on the far right and blaming it on the working class has been very useful to prevent change

Your bills are going up because this government would rather protect the profits of a few corporations than the livelihoods of millions of ordinary people.
End this outrageous rip-off, and take water and energy into public ownership now.

I do not need to read an auto biographical essay opining the brilliance of jacket potatoes. I already know they are amazing, that’s why I want to eat one!?!?! I just need to know how long to put it in the microwave and the air fryer. GIVE ME STRENGTH.

I’ve been wondering whether I’m getting too sucked into US politics and how helpful that is to my own activism etc. Then, yesterday I actually got confused about which BBC headlines referencing horrendous cuts to government departments were in the US and which were in the UK 😳

£6 billion in cuts to welfare & disability benefits that will push 700,000 into poverty — instead of taxing the super-rich.
Spending on weapons of destruction — instead of helping the world’s poorest.
These political choices are cruel.
This isn’t the “change” people voted for.

That must be one of the most Orwellian statements ever. It’s bad enough to cut people’s benefits. To pretend some kind of higher “moral” duty while you’re doing so is insulting and offensive
Ministers have 'moral' duty to cut benefits spending, Labour MPs say
Labour is anxious to reduce the rising welfare bill as it plans boosting defence spending at a time when the Chancellor is perilously short of extra cash

Incredible event hosted at church yesterday, celebrating the women of Palestine for IWD. Talks, handicrafts, music, workshops, food and dancing. Such a joy to work with brilliant local women to bring it to life. My hearts is full 🥰

Why are there revenue protection “cops” on trains now? I don’t know, maybe spend the money on manning stations and/or making trains more affordable?

Ok, don’t know if it’s just because the algorithm just doesn’t know what else to give me but 20/25% of my feed on here is cats. Even though I keep clicking “show me less cats” I have nothing against cats, I’m just not that into them in the way Bluesky seems to think I am… anyone else?

Y’all are out here like “What can I do? I’m nobody”, as if liberation hasn’t always come from little nobodies in little rooms with faith the size of a mustard seed and a yearning for freedom.

I read a reimagining of Colossians to my church community today. In case anyone else needs to hear: “Do not let people tell you that empathy is a sin. As God’s children – sacred and
beloved – wrap yourselves in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and
patience…

We Brits are out here day after day navigating American English on Connections. I know it’s the New York Times, I get that’s the deal, it’s just nice to be seen once in a while 😆

This is the time to lead with gentleness. With delight.
Fascism thrives on equating power to might.
Being tender and bendable and loving — and still here — is our super power. It shows what a farce false power is.

the nazi salute thing is gonna be like israel bombing hospitals: it's really, really obvious that it happened, and at first they're gonna be like "no way! that didn't happen!" and then they'll keep doing it and stop pretending like they don't do it on purpose.

Nothing about yesterday’s march on BBC homepage all day, certainly no mention of horrific police violence. 100,000 people protesting a war we’re complicit in isn’t newsworthy. Now Corbyn and Macdonald are being interviewed it’s the 5th story… Not surprised, but it still makes my blood boil!
