Thank god Spurs Women are back tomorrow, we are in severe need of cheering. Though even that is complicated now by the fact that we have to play against Ash 😢

Simply this.

Tony Benn would have turned 100 today.

A rare, courageous and continuous voice for peace, Tony was driven by the radical idea that all human life had equal value.

We all have our inspirations – and he was mine. Happy birthday Tony.

Disability benefit cuts will push over 250,000 people, including 50,000 children, into poverty.

Did anyone vote for this?

Great article. Within the much more sweeping big picture is the specific important scientific point on vaccination: due to herd immunity, antivaxxers have, until now, been protected by the rest of us.

Hi. Just wanted to bless your timeline with this photo:

The only way the right can win state power is to acknowledge the deep suffering that has been created by decades of rising inequality, and blame this suffering on some ‘other’ - migrants, criminals, deviants etc.

That othering is, of course, the prerequisite for fascism.

Levy had a hungry young manager, a once in a lifetime forward and several other highly talented players. Arsenal were years behind. He could have dared to do but he chose inaction. We’ve gone backwards ever since and Arsenal are now years ahead. He’s shown us who he is. He will not change.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! A special thank you to those who are working over the festive period.

Not everyone is able to enjoy Christmas in comfort — here’s to a more equal world free of injustice, suffering & war.

Today, express gratitude to those who bring you joy!

WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

Not switching platforms until Bluesky gives us quality deranged content such as this.
