A friend sent me this - spotted in Bath! In its splendid apparel designed by art wizard Craig Fraser, Domination looks gorgeous as @waterstones.bsky.social Book of the Month! I love seeing it in bookshop windows - please share if you spot it out in the wild!

Just finished ‘Legenda’ by @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social . Great read, real enthusiasm for the subject coming through as usual. Some women discussed I knew little about, and what I learned was fascinating, also quite disturbing in parts, esp. Catherine of Sienna. Leaves me wanting to dig deeper!

The joys of being a Spurs fan, I’ve felt like this for 50 years!

This is a legitimately good idea. Studies show that heavy metal fans tend to be the least angry people. Presumably because their brains experience anger a lot, but in safe, controlled, voluntary ways, so they have a lot more practice dealing with it, but fewer upsetting incidents that triggered it.

Both brilliant, but have to say Trivium as seen them live a few times and always brilliant.

Musician Sam Fender has donated his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the Music Venues Trust, to support its work securing the future of grassroots venues around the UK.

Fender: “I wouldn’t be doing what I am today if it wasn’t for all the gigs I played [at small venues] when I was starting out."

Sounds like a very apposite topic!

Got our copy yesterday, and we’ve put our little signed sticker in! Very excited to read it, but in the middle of reading Charlotte Cooper-Davis’ Christine De Pizan, so it will have to wait a few days!😊

Think this is going on my Xmas list!

Just finished ‘Son of Prophecy’ by @nathenamin.bsky.social after enjoying his talk at Gloucester History Festival last year. Great read, largely due to his obvious love of the subject. Learnt lots of new facts from differing perspectives, but now have extensive list of further reading!

Attacking facts and science is a threat to free speech - it has to stop.

"The US president, JD Vance and Nigel Farage seem to believe that checking facts is a form of censorship. Nonsense: speech is only free when it is anchored in truth."

Time to take on the Daily Mail and this Labour Government.

Let's keep growing our movement with the joy of knowing we all deserve so much better - and we can make it happen.

Time to join.greenparty.org.uk

Challenging the right requires us to grow our international movement.
