Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Connolly for President @catherinegalway.bsky.social · 7d

Catherine Connolly, Oct 2020: I actually feel nauseated by language being turned on its head. It's time to stop talking about the vulnerable women. They weren't vulnerable, they were strong, vivacious women who were made vulnerable by the system, who were demonised by the system.

Brussels today.

Photo of a protest against the genocide in Palestine. Over 100 thousand people in attendance. Almost everyone is wearing red. Palestinian flags are visible and a hand holding up a poster of Bibi Netanyahu with a caption Wanted above it. All against the backdrop of the political centre of Brussels, home to all the embassies, the economic centres, and the European Commission. The heart of darkness for European complicity in genocide.

On the one hand, the enormous cynicism engendered in me by a government that "In the Thick Of It" would have struggled to parody, on the other... aren't you supposed to at least _try_ to not be panto villains?
