That @bethstratford.bsky.social is a marvel. Here she is explaining the economics of rent controls 👏🏻💜

As it's polling day, I thought some might be interested in these thoughts I recently shared about the Green surge and how we might relate to it - including what it does and doesn't mean for me to put this sign outside my house... www.christineberry.net/2026/03/afte...

A friend won this ace fridge magnet in a tombola and gave it to me. A timely reminder that whilst being a left wing person in public life is liable to have you dragged through the gutter by the right wing press, as long as your head isn't on an actual pike you're still doing better than John Ball.

See my profile pic? That's me in beautiful Ryebank Fields, an amazing rewilded local green space which @manmetuni.bsky.social want to turn into luxury flats. The community has an alternative plan to retain it as a woodland and meadow - please share and register support: ryebankfieldscommunity.co.uk

Helpful summary from @theguardian.com of the nonsense that is Labour's strategy. Prices will keep going up, people are losing their jobs, but it's okay because some numbers you don't care about went up slightly faster than we thought.

Lovely call this morning with @calebalthorpe.bsky.social planning this workshop for @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social. Looking forward to a great conversation about what democratic ownership is, why we need it and how we build it. All welcome! visions-for-the-future.sites.uu.nl/events/speak...

It seems like as of tomorrow it could well be considered illegal for me to share this blog (written a year ago), which is pretty wild. Maybe give it a read it now while you still can... www.christineberry.net/2024/05/on-d...

With Palestine Action due to be proscribed next week, now seems like a good time to share this blog I wrote last year. I hadn't grasped the full impact of proscription when I wrote it, but I think the basic message still stands. www.christineberry.net/2024/05/on-d...

Solidarity is survival. Embroidery by @christinejberry.bsky.social who has only recently taken up embroidery, since becoming ill with Long Covid. Isn’t this design of hers fabulous? #chronicillness #longcovid #needlework #fiberart #embroidery #sewing #craftsky #solidarity #textileart 🧵 🪡

A hand sewn embroidery on cream fabric, still in its embroidery hoop. The neat sewing features the phrase ‘solidarity is survival’ forming a circular design. Inside the word survival is a tree whose roots become some of the letters. Other letters have tiny delicate leaves growing from them. At the centre of the design is an image of two arms holding hands, one black and one white, with each other.

Just been catching up on the details of the planning bill via @georgemonbiot.bsky.social's typically excellent and informative column - and I have to say, I take absolutely no pleasure at all in how right this turned out to be. www.christineberry.net/2024/09/labo...

Damning reflection on the UK government's inhumane cuts to disability benefits - and a wider thought on how people who think they are good, can allow themselves to do great harm to others...

100 years ago, this rewilded urban greenfield space was claypits with only an ancient ditch, a row of magnificent Black Poplars, and a hedgerow. Please join our campaign and object to #MMU plans to build on this special beloved place #RewildingTogether www.saveryebankfields.co.uk/object-now/

Why do all these people have depression we ask as we create systems designed to make their lives as insecure as possible.

I wrote a thing about the unreality of the debate on disability benefits, where it comes from and how it affects us. It cost a few spoons to do it, but I think it would have cost more not to. Have a read if you're interested: www.christineberry.net/2025/03/the-...

Spot on from @patmillsuk.bsky.social 👏 - as a disabled person it's genuinely really cheering to have this solidarity at a time when the rhetoric coming from other quarters feels so draining and dispiriting. Thanks friends.

Finally, someone points to the elephant in the room. Thank you @francesryan.bsky.social - long covid sufferers have been feeling like we're going mad sitting here watching the disability benefits debate unfold. It's like an exercise in mass gaslighting. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
