Heartbroken by the atrocities being carried out in Palestine. I'm a Volunteer, Free spirit, avid reader, athletics freak, believe in fair play, a socialist Green Party Member. Poetry is my constant solace. On X under same name.
I tried unsuccessfully to get a good shot of the eclipse so thought I would have some fun with the photos instead. My good camera was hopeless so tried with my phone and got a double moon somehow ??
On 6 and 9 August 1945 the US denoted two atomic bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasaki. Thousands were killed. Sadako Sasaki was one of the children who developed leukaemia. Funds were raised by her school friends for a peace monument in her memory. Peace unfolds a thousand paper cranes - Sadako's wish
I went to the Keighley Gala today at Cliffe Castle to help out on the Keighley Together stall, bringing communities together to reject racism and division. Great turn out , lovely to see so many people enjoying themselves at this family friendly day out. The weather was kind to us this time 🫶
When reality seems unbelievable because the state and the media tell us it is—and that we should not trust what we see with our own eyes or what people are telling us about their own suffering and demise during a genocide broadcast live before us—we are in serious trouble. 👇

Today we visited the Teledyne Arms Factory in Shipley. They provide components & weapons to Israel to continue the Genocide. We decided to start our pots and pans protest early and were later joined by other men, women and children. We don't want a genocidal supporting arms factory in our back yard

This is how most decent people view success. Why would you choose do harm when you have the tools and resources to do good? 👇
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 2w agoOur criteria for success are disastrously skewed. In my view, a successful person is one who does more good than harm, on any scale. On this measure, most billionaires are massive failures, while humble folk in my neighbourhood who look after other people are highly successful.
I'm still trying to process the chaotic scenes outside the Westminster Mags Court yesterday. Peaceful protestors arrested for sitting down, clapping, wearing red whilst not showing any support for PA just there to support activists that were expressing support. Our Country has taken a dark turn.
70 arrests & counting outside the Westminster Magistrates Court. Not taking part today, but I did have a little win, having travelled 200 miles my case was adjourned, the Court apologised & admitted they had not notified me, so I can claim back all my expenses.....This is what humanity looks like.

Women and Men from far and wide came across the moor dressed as Kate Bush for the annual Wuthering Heights gathering in Haworth today. The weather was a bit wild. Unfortunately I couldn't get close to the action as it was a ticketed event which sold out in 45 seconds! I tried to capture the mood.
It's just so refreshing to have a Party that is on the side of humanity and also has serious plans to tackle the cost of living crisis and inequality. www.politicshome.com/news/article...
