I want a bold Green Party that's unafraid to stand up to those in power. That's why I've voted for @zackpolanski.bsky.social for leader
At a critical moment in British politics, we have to call out hate and build a fairer future for everyone. I think Zack can do that

Sex Matters' attempt to stop trans women using the Kenwood Ladies Pond is small-minded and joyless
Sure, there's bigger battles to win for trans rights. But it's also important that edenic sanctuaries like the pond are open to all women

900 trans+ people and allies showed up for yesterday’s mass lobby of Parliament, drawing attention to the cruel and unworkable guidance that the EHRC is pushing regarding toilets and changing rooms etc.
This beats the previous record for #LGBTQ lobbying set in the 1980s against Section 28.

Israel kills innocent Palestinians. Activists spray-paint a plane. Guess which the UK government calls terrorism | Sally Rooney
If Palestine Action becomes a proscribed group, writing these words of support could become a serious offence. It’s vital we fight this alarming attack on free speech, says writer Sally Rooney

When will Starmer learn that no matter how good his Nigel Farage impression gets, it won't save him from wipeout at the hands of Reform? Here's another idea - how about doing the work that's needed to actually make people's lives better? 🧵

@sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social hello, I just read you'll be continuing your relationship with BP, despite their decision to abandon climate targets
As a science-led institution, why do you support a business ignoring climate science and the existential threat posed by environmental breakdown?

I made an effort to read more last year (esp since summer) so here are the best books I read in 2024
In particular, I implore you to read Our Wives Under the Sea (mesmerising, heartbreaking, terrifying) and Couplets (why is nobody talking about this big long poem?)

My wonderful publishers at Haymarket Books
and I just made Hope in the Dark a free download for a week And yeah, I know I haven't been around much--three platforms is a lot, and I reach a lot of people on one and read a lot of key sources on the other. www.haymarketbooks.org/books/791-ho...
