Hello all! I'm not so active on here at the minute, but wanted to share that the first screening of my community pop-up cinema, Breeze Frame Film Club, is on Thursday at the Irish World Heritage Centre in Cheetham Hill! 🧵

Not having a go at this, as the rise of racism and the far right around east Liverpool is a huge problem….but the opposition in Knowsley is the Green Party, and their rise in one of the most deprived bits of the country is a genuinely untold story. Work needs doing in this!

Having ditched Amazon earlier this year and drastically reduced my google use to work hours only (check out Ecosia instead) I’ve now migrated from Spotify to the far less evil Qobuz. It has all the tracks and I used an app called Soundiz to migrate my million playlists...

Delighted to see some organising on the left in party politics. Please please please find space in this new party for citizen assemblies or other forms of democratic deliberation. Legitimacy and relevance is very very important imho

This story is so important. Black children are disproportionately treated as adults and rarely viewed as innocent victims. Child Q *a schoolgirl* was wrongly suspected, on her periods, and stripped by officers to her intimate parts without an appropriate adult present. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Child Q strip-search: Met Police officers sacked for gross misconduct

The girl, who was wrongly suspected of possessing cannabis, was searched by police at her school.

Is it wrong to feel hopeful that the paltry turn out for the Big Dic energy ‘parade’ suggests a very loud minority of bigots and braggarts and the broligarch media that dramatises them are not here to stay, and are more a dip in Humanity’s overall rising trajectory towards???

Telecoms in #Gaza have been disabled, thus entrenching the isolation of this besieged population. One way to help Gazans stay connected is thru e-sims. Here is a brilliant campaign led by disabled activists which has sent thousands of e-sims since Oct 2023. It’s easy to donate & a v useful thing.

🍉 Please help us continue to keep the thousands of eSIMs we bought active so Gazans can connect with the outside world For more: chuffed.org/project/crip...
