The Society of Authors needs to change. But it won’t without you. Join – or rejoin – as a Full Member by Wednesday 30th April to vote in this year’s Management Committee elections. Writers, translators & illustrators face huge challenges right now… (1/5)

The Society of Authors needs to change. But it won’t without you. Join – or rejoin – as a Full Member by Wednesday 30th April to vote in this year’s Management Committee elections.Writers, translators and illustrators face huge challenges right now including: falling earnings, the threat of AI, the sector’s complicity in genocide and fossil fuel extraction, challenges to free speech. Can you resist these threats? Yes! But only if you have a member-led union that truly represents you.Fossil Free Books recommends that writers, translators and illustrators join the Society of Authors. With its wealth of resources and powerful industry connections, it has great potential – but without you it can’t channel that potential into meaningful action. Recent successes at the 2024 AGM and EGM have already shown that you have the power to use its existing democratic processes to make it the healthy, bold trade union that you need and deserve.The only way to create a fairer, more sustainable industry is to create it together. Your union won’t change without you – and the first step is to join. If you need support with your union fees, you can claim £50 through our Open Collective fund (link in post).

Labour = let's keep the wealthy avoiding & minimising tax, ditto oil & gas, big tech, etc... give MPs a 2.8% pay rise to £93,904... plus, I know! Cut (or at very least freeze) benefits for disabled & chronically ill people. Gotta fund defense somehow. FFS.

For someone who enjoys talking to Jordan Peterson about cancel culture, the millionaire comic Jimmy Carr remains omnipresent enough to be the poster boy of an Orwellian dystopia - meanwhile truly original left wing comics like Josie Long remain rarely seen in the media

Jimmy Carr’s awful face

I really am not sure what else to say about the genocide in Palestine that I have not said already. That our governments are complicit, that we ourselves are complicit through our taxes, that those who are silent are complicit, that intl law is complicit, that we are repeating history…again.

🚨Only six days of flour left to distribute in Gaza: UN Israel has blocked all humanitarian and commercial aid to Gaza for about 20 days, — longer than the initial siege from October 7–21, 2023.

Drop Site@dropsitenews.com · 2y ago

UNICEF Executive Director: “Reports and images emerging from the Gaza Strip following today’s attacks are beyond horrifying. Hundreds of people have reportedly been killed, including more than 130 children, representing one of the largest single-day child death toll in the last year.”

Rachel Shabi: "None of the papers have anything about... Israel collapsing the ceasefire and blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza, which is a war crime, and it is striking that that has not made any of the front [pages of the UK papers]"
