I was born in a water moon… Since then I've paid an inordinate amount of attention to politics, made Sheffield my home, and made lots of things with yarn. Queer, disabled, democratic communist, one half of Mary James maryjamesauthor.wordpress.com
Email me at southyorkscrossrail@gmail.com if this sounds interesting! Let's build better regional / commuter rail with the Burnham bucks!
Charlie@fearlessknits.bsky.social · 5d agoWhat would happen if we all lobbied for Oliver Coppard to use his new Burnham Bucks to build better regional rail for Sheffield and South Yorkshire? Wanna find out? substack.com/@fearlesskni...

South Yorkshire must use new mayoral powers for better rail
We need to start organising now to collectively lobby Oliver Coppard

@garethdennis.uk You might recognise this map! If you like the idea, I'd love a boost (Tried sending you an email but the address on your website bounced. Is there a better address to use?)

Reminder to politicians today: Lindsey Graham won’t see the posts of you reaching across the aisle to gush over how agreeable he was despite being of opposing political policies as you are but your constituents will.
Nigel Farage is correct about one thing. It’s the people vs the establishment. Reform are literally the establishment. And it’s the Green Party on the side of the people. Wealth tax. Rent controls. Now. Join.greenparty.org.uk
walking around for the rest of the day with TURKISH .357 MAGNUM WITH "KEIR STARMER" ETCHED INTO THE BARREL running over and over in my head
Thomas O’Mahony@gotitatguineys.bsky.social · 4w agoOne of the personalised pistols Erdoğan gave to each NATO leader. There is a pistol out there that says “Keir Starmer”, and for @bloodwork.show purposes I need to own it.
So Ann Widdecombe appears to have died violently. Fuck violence. But also, fuck Ann Widdecombe.
Charlie@fearlessknits.bsky.social · 2mo agoI keep coming back to this video from @slimemildred.bsky.social on libs and stochastic terrorism. It's the clearest 22 mins I've ever seen or read on the subject, and the best thing on any subject in the last year. If you've not yet watched it, watch and bookmark it now. youtu.be/fqqwwS9Kvy8?...
violent public threats towards trans women? Remember how many people are in prison for holding signs or joining zoom calls regarding Palestine Action despite legal multiple legal resolutions showing how legally dubious Labour’s authoritarianism is? Think they’ll receive any compensation?
How dare the slightest nod towards actual justice be made towards violent bigots? Remember the constant calls for disabled people to be left to starve to buy more weapons, and yet £25k of public money goes to compensate a bigot for the slightest possibility he might be *investigated* for making
Rebecca Gellman 🩷💛💙 - Dignity & Respect stolen by UK Government.@starfleet-net.co.uk · 4w agoFor anyone not keeping up, Graham Linehan has been rewarded with £25K for calling for the public to "punch [trans women] in the balls".

Sky News@news.sky.com · 4w agoAnn Widdecombe, the former MP and ME, has died
Nigel Farage has called a “people vs the establishment” by-election in Clacton. He’s framing himself as the plucky outsider taking on the Westminster machine. Let’s talk about what “the establishment” actually means and what it doesn’t
We talk about “the Overton Window” and I do not think you will find a time in living memory when the goalposts of political acceptability were quite so forcefully yanked up, dragged rightwards and rammed back into the earth *by our political and media elite, in their own interest*, than our own era.
Oh Sarah you're so brave for staying when your wife transitioned! Wait so my life partner tells me she's gonna somehow get even hotter by growing some tits, and you think I'd choose that moment to leave?!?

So my girlfriend @fearlessknits.bsky.social and I wrote a book a couple of years ago about Democratic Communist values, and she's just written an excellent blog post about how it pertains to the current Labour leadership struggle, and you should read it! And the book! It's free!
The Labour leadership contest will be a values test, and there’s a book (that I co-authored) for that
So there’s about to be a Labour leadership contest. You’ve probably noticed.Whether it’s Starmer hanging on, the briefcase horror of Streeting, Burnham making his move, or someone…

Charlie@fearlessknits.bsky.social · 3mo agoHey, remember that book @jackalpants.bsky.social and I wrote a while back? I think it's extra relevant for Labour party members right now, and wrote a bit about why fearlessknits.wordpress.com/2026/05/16/t...

So I shop loads on Amazon, and I hate Amazon. So I wrote a blog post about how the Post Office could make something better fearlessknits.substack.com/p/the-post-o...
The Post Office already has everything it needs to beat Amazon
So I was doing that thing where you’re staring into space and your brain starts joining dots that nobody asked it to join.

One of the glorious and wonderful things about humanity is that we are nowhere near as independent as our current overculture would like us to believe. We are all dependent on the stories of the past, and the future is built on what we make of the brief time we are here.
Travelling today and my colour coordination is on point 😎
Oh so the super rich are vast swatges of nectrotizing cancer in the organism of the city? Cool cool cool that's great
Aaron W. Gordon@agordon.me · 5mo agoIt's a trend that is quietly changing the character of neighborhoods, block by block, as buildings that once housed a dozen or more New Yorkers become single-family dwellings.
THANK YOU to all the amazing #SheffieldGreens who worked so hard to get #HannahThePlumber elected! 💚 Lost count of trains🚆 carpools arranged 🚗 help & generosity🙏 Hannah inspired support all across these islands, from Cornwall to Shetland, NI to Norfolk. So proud of everyone. People Power! ✊
It took me about 2 seconds to link them to a CIA group by the way.
If you've never heard the term "family voting" before, it's because it's a term made up by Democracy Volunteers who really like to frequent elections in Tower Hamlets en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_...

flyingrodent@flyingrodent.bsky.social · 5mo agoI take it the Greens have won then, because we are instantly on our bullshit
The really dark fun is that Labour can't make Starmer resign because they need him as a human meat airbag to handle getting absolutely vivisected in the May local elections.
THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!! Morgan McSweeney, Keir Starmer, Peter Mandelson....you boys took a HELL of a beating tonight. @greenpartyhan.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social This is just the beginning.
Presumably there will now be wall to.wall coverage of Green policies and Polanski will be all over the TV. Isn't this how it works for Farage?
