Been reading peoples posts on how to respond to US government requests: both sad and funny. Check forest for women hanging out with bears, they feel safer there. 🤪😩

What a cool idea! A pirate bookshop. 😊

An important message for disabled people in the UK. Please respond. ❤️

Trump accuses Zelenskyy of being a dictator There's truth behind the lies. A common trick used in domestic abuse - the perpetrator accuses their victim of doing the behaviour they are actually doing. Aka DARVO Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender. It’s psychological manipulation and abuse.

When you know what I mean! Recovery is possible. 🤗❤️

Somethings very wrong with our UK prosecution system! I’ve been researching evidence for my latest artwork and found shockingly low sentence rates for all kinds of crimes!

While doing research for my next artwork. Something to think about this morning. #protestors #peoplesrights #humanrights #womensrights

Imagine during World War Two if Roosevelt discussed with Hitler about giving him “a bit of Britain” without discussing it with the British government or people! What Trump is doing to the Ukrainians leaves me without words.

Yes this!

In the UK I’m confused about labour as a party. A version of Reform? Playing at being Conservative? What the hell is going on? They are so far away from what I recognise that I’m even questioning whether I live in the US now or if I’m actually still in Britain! So many issues where do I start?

Here’s a little reminder: Never look down on anybody unless you’re lifting them up. The boundary to what we can accept is the boundary to our freedom. Stop accepting the unacceptable folks!

Not sure who created this but felt it was worth sharing widely. ❤️

Oh look this is familiar! Who thinks I’m exaggerating when I call Trump a F@scist? Ps love this @bladeofthes.bsky.social 🔥

If you think equality has gone too far and is ‘misguided wokeness’ (as Wes Streeting, UK’s Health Secretary believes) remember women in Afghanistan once wore mini skirts, drove cars, went to university and held positions of power. Today it’s THEM: tomorrow it’s YOU. Beware the signs are there.

If you think women’s spaces need protection from trans people - that’s what misogynists want. If you think immigrants are the problem- that’s how Hitler gained power and dehumanised Jewish people. Today it’s THEM: tomorrow it’s YOU.

The more hate I see, the more radical my views. The more rights I see removed, the more rage I feel. The more obscene behaviour I witness, the more grounded I become. We need to feel RAGE, get RADICAL and stay GROUNDED in the face of extreme fascist behaviour. DIVIDE and CONQUER to CONTROL.

WTF?? Do I live in England or America now? Can someone please explain to me what is happening here? I keep thinking I’m seeing things- thinking surely this isn’t true, then realising it is!! OMG The far right is round the corner. Source from: The Telegraph

‘Grateful I’m not American’ created from various plastics and stitched. 2025 Text reads: State owned Government property Imprisoned after miscarriage Accused of illegal abortion Judged unfit mother Forced adoption - Silenced, Shamed Inside the hand print- my body, your choice #feministart

I made this little reel a while ago now but feel it’s worth repeating. What’s happening out there in the US is truly nightmarish and it’s having an impact in the rest of the world. #whendogsarecats refers to gaslighting the people. #humanrights #disabledrights #LGBTrights #transrights

Noticed this morning that sensitive content settings have been reset on Instagram again! This means that anyone with political views or opinions considered sensitive gets silenced! Check your settings. #feministart #transrights #abortionrights #womensvoices #womensart

Earth Man 140cms long x 77cms wide Made from hard to recycle plastic wrap and packaging. Text reads: Maybe we need to think about the earth as man. Because look what we do to women. Is this why we treat the earth like shit. Inside the body of the man, text is about things we do to women.

Compost woman: Compost bags sewn into. Text reads: My body, your choice My compassion, your violence My peace, your war My labour, your profit My land, your control My earth, your dump My gifts, your plunder How we treat and respect each other is interwoven in how we treat our earth.

Picture of Gregg Wallace with the text, A Middle Class man of a certain ago who thinks he can do whatever he wants. A picture of a woman with her tongue sticking out and the text written on it saying: A Middle Class woman of a certain age that’s sick of this shit!

@axisweb.bsky.social good to see you moved. Just seen your post on instagram. ❤️
