The clip circulating recently showing the bones in a baby’s onesie uncovered during this ‘cleaning’ exercise was gut wrenching. I cannot understand why the estimated number of killed Gazans has sat at around 80,000 for two and a half of the three year conflict (genocide) and everyone parrots that.

As Rod Liddle has died, I notice this column I wrote in 2019 about his attacks on people with M.E. is on the most read again. Rebekah Brooks, of News UK, described Liddle today as “provocative”. In reality, he spread lies about very sick people for cash. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Rod Liddle once called me "creepy and pornographic" in his column in The Spectator. Sad for his loved ones, but not sad he has gone. RIP (P not standing for peace here)

AMAZING MOMENT A woman came back still wearing a custody tshirt having been released for a terrorism arrest. While being arrested for declaring support for Palestine Action a second time, another woman came back to do the same. The opposition to this ban cannot be contained.

Love has never needed permission from labels 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 My emptiness of gender lets me see that clearly. Anxiety tightens around transgender lives right now. Why must their chosen bonds still pass through someone else’s gate? Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?
