The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

You've heard all about the farmers' protests...

But you haven't heard about this one theconversation.com/the-uk-farme...
The UK farmer protests you probably haven’t heard about
Farm workers milk cows, drive machinery and pick crops – yet their grievances are seldom heard.

Elon Musk is an existential threat to the United States of America.

This is now both a constitutional crisis and a national security crisis.

As a citizen, my power is limited, but I do have the power to act. I am protesting outside OPM today from 3-5pm. Please join us.

Just back from a two week residency as part of the MA Dance: participation, communities and activism at The Place.

Coming from 13 countries and many languages we found each other and solidarity through dance. Embodied resistance to the things that try to separate us.

Magic moment from the @ousewashesmolly.bsky.social Molly Day of Dance.

Our side had learned this dance (and not tried it out yet) from watching videos of this US side. To get to dance together, forming all sorts of ties was one of my highlights.

Had an absolute blast at the @ousewashesmolly.bsky.social Molly Day of Dance in Ely.

Grass-roots, independent, proper folk culture. As the new kids on the bloc Molly No-Mates were welcomed with open arms. That's what it's all about.

Wrote a little poem and short essay at Solstice. Sort of about writing and capitalism and also just for fun. Read or not. I enjoyed writing them.

You think you’re tougher than a samurai? Write some poetry, you pussy!
We had a big chat on my stream yesterday about how creativity is good for the soul.

Not everything has to be goal-based. Make something just for yourself!

Also, samurai used to sit around writing haiku. You think you’re tougher than a samurai? Write some poetry, you pussy!

What with all the noise around a certain man, I just want to say those three finalists on #MasterChef Professionals were astonishing. And apart from the food, they were collaborative, kind and respectful. They are the best of the best.

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr.

The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...

With Farage back on Question Time last night...

...here is your reminder that Farage was on BBCQT a record-breaking 35 times before he became an MP.

And, further, that the panellist selection on BBCQT has been heavily slanted to right-wing think tanks and commentators over the years.

I came onto Bluesky an hour ago, and the first two things I saw were posts providing useful context for understanding the imposition of martial law in South Korea—the exact kind of thing that Twitter used to be so useful for in a developing crisis.

This describes my Mum perfectly. I've seen her tell off a bus load of young men and taken on someone about their anti -immigrant views (again on a bus). She's the fiercest person I know.
