“shame must change sides”
If you’re a survivor of sexual abuse… it is a tough time to be online.

It’s ok to take breaks. It’s ok to cry. It’s ok to rage.

Whatever you’re feeling is valid.

I like to remind myself what Gisele Pelicot said… “shame must change sides”

We’re going to make the abusers feel shame now.

This is the best takedown of Musk I’ve ever read. From a beloved author around my age no less, Joyce Carol Oates.

This postcard I wrote to a young reader, Sasha Stephenson, was returned to me, as she no longer lives at the address she gave me. Please help me to get it to her if you can!

Politicians have chosen to be in the public spotlight.

We choose intense scrutiny and everyone is entitled to an opinion. And that's right.

But how do these nasty digs about physical appearance serve anyone?

It's no wonder so many people - particularly women - are put off ever getting involved.

Plumes of smoke from Israeli attacks were seen rising over Gaza hours after Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a ceasefire plan, brokered by Donald Trump.

Less than half an hour ago reports from Gaza told us Israel is bombing Palestinians returning from the north because they’d heard about the ceasefire.

My maternal line were Cohens. I used to be proud. Now I’m sad and angry. I categorically do not love Israel.
Trump: "I spoke to Bibi Netanyahu just a little while ago. He called, he said, 'I can't believe it. Everybody is liking me now,' meaning him. I said, 'more importantly they are loving Israel again.'"

Pay attention to the language that will be used by much of the media.

The Global Sumud Flotilla never entered Israeli waters.

They are in international waters attempting to reach Palestinian waters.

Israel is once again breaking international law

The entire world is out in the streets protesting Israel’s illegal interception of the Sumud Flotilla- carrying aid to break the siege on Gaza.

We are done with this genocide. We are done with our complicit leaders. We are done with Zionism.

Israel illegally attacks Global Sumud Flotilla. Comms have gone dark, cameras are offline and flotilla’s boats were boarded by armed, masked commando forces. Yet another breach of international law attempting to silence voices against genocide of Palestinians.

How would this work for my partner, his brother and many like them? Folk who stiill use a dumb phone, or no phone or are unable to use tech? What about all the younger people eschewing smart phones? Will the government provide everyone with a phone and pay the bills? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's the Autumn Equinox - the first astronomical day of autumn! 🍂

Crisp air on your cheeks...
The smell of damp earth.
Dew sparkling in cobwebs.
Cold hands wrapped around a hot drink.
A Robin singing as golden leaves crunch underfoot...

Join us in exposing them.

AFAIK there is no such organisation. We referred to ourselves as #antifa when I was still healthy enough to march and protest, short for #antifascist. I am indeed #antifascism and I am most definitely sick and probably a disaster. I don’t think I’m dangerous and I’m not a terrorist.

I want a reverse vacation. I want to stay home and have everyone I know go away for a week.

And now… the good news.
Tommy Robinson attracted approx. 100,000. 100,000 too many for sure.

Pride attracts 1.5 million. We are 15x gayer than we are racist.

Sorry Tommy.
