MANIFESTO AGAINST A ❤️-LESS 🌎by @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social is highly highly recommended reading “this is the new vocabulary for the progressive politics of emotions…now is the time for the new, the beautiful and the humane🔥

Fighting rising fascism isn’t rocket science. We have to educate, agitate, organise. Arts Emergency does all three. Keep hope alive! Enjoy this wonderful manifesto from our Youth Collective on this bright sunny day ☀️

Stone cold bangers this sunny morning ☀️🎶

Urgh, the Guardian cosplaying as a social justice/charity thing after dismantling the Observer team and partnering with Open AI (along with much editorial/commercial/lobby murkiness) it just…hits different 🤢

At one point I had 10k followers at the bad place. I’d like to get more engagement here. So politics aside for a second, these are my feral rescue cats. Shadowfax on the left, and Hunty-Rocketbooster-Batman-Cool on the right🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

May Day🌹🍞

These absolute diamonds 💎

We had a get together at Christie’s to celebrate @artsemergency.bsky.social with old friends and new faces. Thank you everyone, and especially @yomiadegoke.bsky.social who took it to the next level x

when everything is a god damn campaign nothing really is…gah…

Because my whole life is social justice I don’t always choose to read about politics or activism. But @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social’s book is utterly utterly UTTERLY essential right now! Please make time to read up and tool up for the struggle that is here…

there is an alternative world & it exists already! After so many years organising & campaigning I’m very confident nowadays in telling you directly that AE is a hugely important & unique part of that world. Get on board - counter dank autocratic injustice with positive action & good vibes ftw🚨

After raising 15k volunteers and a few £mil from donors we took the decision to cut the cord and leave what is now a spiritual cesspit. Scary to jump, I built our movement there but it was ALWAYS about what we do offline in communities. I’m happy to say that is happening at an unpreceeented scale🚨

Spent a wonderful evening with Joe Tucker in q&a about his uncle Eric and wonderful new book ‘The Secret Painter’. Also well worth checking out the exhibition of working class art. Very moving. Two Temple Place until April.
