Many people seem to be passionately attached to the statement “Zionism is racism”. But it seems unnecessary, even gratuitous, to me. We can say all the things we need about successive governments of Israel and their horrific policies without having to make this generalisation.

Eritreans have a 96% asylum grant rate currently, so this is a truly insane announcement from Mahmood. What's even more insane is that the government she'd announce this same day the government put out a statement confirming their belief Eritrea and Ethiopia are about to engage in all out war.

That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

Huge spending and unfunded tax cuts were the backbone of Truss' budget. The continued stupidity of the Tories is astounding.

"in the UK... uniformed far-right groups marching in Dover and Portsmouth. Jewish Greens stand firmly against any attempt by the far right to divide our communities, and any attempt to legitimise, or normalise, such extremism. Ultimately, the far right targets anyone who is not white and Christian"

I watched The Wicker Man for the first time last night, and both my partner and I were really surprised to discover it's a musical. I've heard so much about this film, and no one has ever mentioned this.

Mahmood says she's pro-Palestine and feels "very uncomfortable" about the arrests of people opposing the ban of Palestine Action. She also condemns far right protestors saying, "they'd definitely kick me out of my own country". (1/2)

She's dangerously close to self awareness.
J.K Rowling tweet from 18/08/26. It reads, "The more nonsensical and obviously absurd a belief is, the more people who hold it (or pretend to) will resist recanting. The potential for humiliation rises in direct proportion to the ridiculousness of what they've publicly swallowed. They see no choice but to double down."

Lots of people talking about how Arday needed to be held accountable, but you better believe not one single person will be held accountable for the way he was treated in the days leading up to this.

The most disturbing thing about the whole Jason Arday thing isn't anything he's said or done, but how genuinely eager and excited the press and public are to engage a public humiliation ritual.

Girlguiding and now the WI deciding to exclude trans women is disappointing, but the only losers here are Girlguiding and the WI themselves. They've been struggling with membership and finances for years because they refuse to move with the times and appeal to new generations of women.

A huge relief to see the Israeli hostages released and the joy on family faces. But the fact that Israel has banned Palestinians from celebrating the release of their relatives, posting on social media or giving interviews - most held without charge - tells us how much there is to go.

Came out of Brixton station yesterday and a woman immediately approached me, pointed at a pigeon and said "who's he?", and as evidenced by this text from my mother, it's not the first time someone has assumed I just know pigeons.
A screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation between my mother and I. The first message from me says 'Just been to a comedy show about pigeons', below is the reply from my mother which reads 'Were there pigeons in it that you know?'
