I look forward to Your Party, My Party, Not Your Party and It's My Party And I'll Cry If I Want To Party.

I think at the moment everyone's just relying on a lot of second-hand reports. We need to wait and see what happens at the December meeting.

If it's a decision to keep Israel in the contest I'm going to just watch the national finals and then just stop watching when things move to Vienna.

Honestly, given my chances of heading to Vienna in May are looking less and less because *gestures at everything that's happening* it feels like a VERY tempting alternative.

Honestly, the Faroes is on my bucket list so I'm more than tempted.

Because like so many dudes who've leapt aboard the terf train, his supposed defence of women's rights is deeply rooted in misogyny.

Hard to say at the moment. I think we just have to sit and wait to see how it plays out. If Israel stays I'm just gonna watch the national finals and then nope out for the main contest.
November 30, 2025 at 6:43 AM
Dunno about permanently. I do think it's clear that if Israel is there next year at least some countries will pull out for 2026.

Honestly it was so lovely to watch a song contest that had a clear moral mission and we didn't have to worry about *waves hand at all that*

We're all going to the Faroes next year aren't we?
November 30, 2025 at 6:14 AM
That was such a good contest! Panarcticvision is incredible!
November 30, 2025 at 6:08 AM
Hard to say really. One wildcard is that Lebanon, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria and Morocco are all EBU members, so if they turn up to vote that could be decisive.

LET'S GO TO THE FAROES

Wild that this is in an army cadet hall. Takes me back to my high school years when I was a child soldier.

It's so good, isn't it? It just has a heart that I feel Eurovision has been lacking for a long time.

Totally yeah, and it's the voices of marginalised and colonised people. It's something to be treasured.
