Lewis Call @lewiscall.bsky.social · 20h
Netanyahu runs a Zionist terror state that is waging a genocidal war vs Palestine. UK Labour Government supplies weapons for Netanyahu's genocide whilst arresting thousands of Britons for holding signs that say genocide is wrong. Greens are the only party standing up for Palestine. Polanski for MP.

I just saw that Electra/Persona - that I have tickets for on Wednesday - is a 2hour show with no interval. And I can't help thinking the people behind Tena and Tena for Men have missed a wonderful sponsorhip opportunity.

UN Palestine Expert Francesca Albanese on Being Sanctioned by Trump, Gaza’s Ongoing Genocide, and Netanyahu’s ‘Theatrical’ UN Speech
During a Zeteo Town Hall with Mehdi, the UN Special Rapporteur also discussed her upcoming report on the media’s complicity in the genocide, which she predicts will ‘make some headlines’ of its own.

On October 1, 1970, Janis Joplin walked into Sunset Sound Recorders in Los Angeles and recorded “Mercedes Benz,” an a cappella performance that would become the final studio recording of her life. 🕯️💖🕊️ 🌹
Written by Joplin with poet Michael McClure and Bob Neuwirth, the song was recorded in a single take, with Janis singing completely unaccompanied. Its humor and irony made it unlike almost anything else she had recorded.
Just three days later, on October 4, Joplin died at the age of 27 while still working on what would become Pearl.
“Mercedes Benz” was eventually included on the posthumously released album, leaving one of rock’s most unmistakable voices completely alone for one remarkable final studio performance.

The BBC and other national news outlets continue to report, daily, even the smallest, non lethal, Russian attacks on Ukraine. Yet. There are between 5-15 Palestinians murdered each day by Israeli forces, yet this mostly goes unnoticed and unreported. This is disgraceful.
