Interesting development.

A new skin-signpost to honour my magnificent mother (a month since she left us today!) – to honour the act of creation, of connection and weaving, and the art and act of all the glorious and expansive maternal traits comprising 'mothering' in general. [text continued in replies].

Pls donate to this urban agriculture project - led by Muhanad Al Araj - part of a wonderful family I got to know in the Palestinian village of al-Walaja. Funds will help buy greenhouses for villages in the Bethlehem area, enabling them to grow their own food and sell produce at the local market.

It’s funny because it’s true.

I studied film, wrote about it, & discussed it as a broadcaster for over a decade. Recently, however, I've struggled to find a space to hold its magic in our current reality—a framework of madness, horror, & terror. Tilda's speech casts cinema in the realm of possibility, solidarity & imagination.

Another university just ditched fossil fuel and arms companies - thanks to student campaigns Arts University Bournemouth is now the 11th UK university to end fossil fuel recruitment on campus - thanks to a @peopleandplanet.bsky.social led campaign www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

An extraordinary image of the striped mackerel snapped by underwater photographer, Alex Mustard. This fish swims with its mouth open, using its gill rakers like a net to filter its food from the ocean. It almost looks like a glorious concertina built of iridescent silver taffeta.

Beauty. Always a salve and always a reminder - no matter what form it takes - of what is worth fighting for. #muloobinba #awabakal #worimi countries

No prizes for guessing why this field manual which was compiled by the precursor to the CIA during WW2 & declassified in 2008, is currently one of the most popular open source books on the internet...The motivating factor for writing the guide: to train everyday ppl in the art of simple sabotage.

Today Isr@eli police raided 2 famous P@lestinian bookstores in EstJerusalem: The Educational Bookshop & The Bookshop at the American Colony Hotel, confiscating books & detaining 2 of the owners in the al-Quds interrogation facility known as 'al-Moscabiyeh'.

Taken on my mum's last day of life. Some moments of exquisite beauty captured amidst heaviness.

To stage this event at a time of genocide when we have been witnessing the most barbaric annihilation of P@lestinian lives, society & infrastructure is utterly deplorable. This is white supremacist & European imperialist rhetoric at play here, pure and simple.

Looking to meet talented vegan artists (working in any medium) living on Aboriginal land in Victoria, Australia. If you have someone in mind, please suggest them here.

On average, 4 incidents of settler violence take place each day in the occupied West Bank according to data from the @unocha.org

A gloriously unpretentious institution that fosters community and a happy place for all cinephiles in London's West End. The city would simply not be the same without the beloved @princecharlescinema.com ❤️ Please sign the petition below to #savethePCC ✊

Powerful essay by juliabard.bsky.social & davidjrosenberg.bsky.social. "Any nuanced understanding of the Holocaust, which would be a resource for every minority threatened by the current rise of racism and fascism, is being undermined and subsumed under a singular interpretation of anti-semitism."

This is a very powerful 3-min video from the traditional owner and knowledge holder, Carol Ridgeway-Bisset of the Maiangal ngurra of the Worimi Nation of Port Stephens and Stockton area. #alwayswasalwayswillbe

WTF! @intifada.bsky.social's brilliant Ali Abunimah was arrested by Swiss police ahead of a speaking event in Zurich on Saturday afternoon.

It's repugnant that Jan 26 – the anniversary of the 1788 landing & raising of GB's Union Flag – a day of violence & mourning – is still used by 'Australia' to ‘celebrate’ nebulous ideas of national identity & ‘gratitude.’ Gratitude for what exactly? Racial supremacy? Systemic violence? Imperialism?

Mutual aid is not just a disaster response, it’s a way of caring for one another, building stronger communities, and preparing for whatever life may throw at us next. It’s a labor of love—and a way of life. I put together a reading list (and words of advice) for LitHub: lithub.com/we-only-have...

If you're into Vangelis AND microneurosurgery, well, today is your lucky day. Dr. Stergios Tegos – a neurosurgeon in Athens – asked Vangelis to compose music for 12 hours worth of footage of microneurosurgery. vangeliscollector.com/movies_micro...
