Worth saying out loud: Foreign mass murdering criminals like Trump and Netanyahu are given state visits and welcomed with open arms while British citizens are jailed and criminalised for holding up placards protesting against genocide.

We have this too. Where Shemima Begum, who was groomed as a school girl. Made poor choices. Has subsequently lost her children. Yet the British press blame her. She is a victim. Farage, at the same age was accused of racism. But we are told”he was just a kid!”

‘Thank you, said the three bridges to the sun, thank you for the beautiful marmalade sky. You’re welcome, said the sun, and just out of sight, his love the moon knew it was also for her, giving her the light she needed to allow her to slip into her silver gown.’

Democracy dies in darkness. Getting the below post seen by as many people as possible would be very helpful 👇
I discovered yesterday that in advance of our meeting with Westminster Council to discuss the Adelphi tent encampment, they secretly brought forward the eviction to present us with a fait accompli. The community is now fractured. Here is my open email from today to Adam Hug, Council Leader.

For #31DaysOfGraves day 26: figure. The first day after clock change and the first proper chilly weekend here in Scotland, so here's a frosty figure from Cathcart Cemetery here in Glasgow.

Seasonal pic for today

Red berries feed her grave
Dropping through her iron cage
Red berries taste like wine
My forever valentine

Seasonal pic of the day.

Reaching, yearning, searching
The parts of my body
Now changing
Shifting with time
Unfamiliar but still familiar
I am still rooted

The air was filled with the sight and sound of migratory birds.
They land ,and I try to capture them as they surveyed a small loch, my camera lens whirs in to focus and they take flight. This clumsy lumbering human is no match for their grace and beauty.
