Hardcore that leans punk rather than metal is my thing atm and few bands are as consistently good at it than Pressure Pact pressurepact.bandcamp.com/album/scared...

New episode is out, here's an interview I did with Andy from @beyondgrace.bsky.social www.mixcloud.com/Medwayprider...

Transphobes going for ideological capture because the average person in the street would think they’re just another weirdo handing out leaflets.

Strange how so many of the decent, proper Labour MPs who worked to rescue the party from Jeremy Corbyn and his cult of extremists keep turning out, themselves, to be thick-skulled bigots and nasty pieces of work. Almost as if the problem with Corbyn wasn’t bigotry, but something else entirely.

Always trust the Guardian / Observer to tip-toe all the way around Christian fundamentalists pushing transphobia as well as anti-abortion BS. Almost like the two issues are part of the same drive against women’s bodily autonomy. Almost like transphobes and their mouthpieces are complicit with that.

Very much enjoying this Faze EP - if scrappy Bib-style HC with a touch of LCD Soundsystem dance-punk sounds like you thing, then check it out: fazefazefaze.bandcamp.com/album/big-up...

Allfather side project Go check it out

I’m not an expert, but there might, *might* be some kind of link between Israel systematically starving Gaza for over a year, and Israeli hostages in Gaza being underfed.

Unison is the largest women’s organization in the UK. It has a million women members. The Unison women’s conference just voted for a motion that said; “trans women are women and trans men are men” with no-one speaking against it. Transphobia is a top-down, elite practice.

1. Quick 🧵 on the change to policy that, on the face of it, bans refugees from ever acquiring British citizenship. @sonial77.bsky.social has published a short article on Free Movement: freemovement.org.uk/good-charact... And I've done a follow up on my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/wewanted...

🚨 Revealed: Wes Streeting met with and expressed sympathy for pro-conversion therapy parents group Bayswater Earlier this year, an investigation exposed how the parents in the group conduct abuse towards their children. This is what we've uncovered 🧵👇

Genuinely gobsmacked to be one of @bigissue.com 100 changemakers of 2025. None of it would be possible without the support of @pc-73.bsky.social Right, back to work…. www.bigissue.com/news/activis...

Growth, wealth creation, ‘open for business’. All that bullshit means is funnelling money up to the already-rich. If your purpose in life is to put some percentage points on a billionaire’s wealth while we eat shit then just say it.

Anyone with half a brain could have called this. It’s not a ‘major operation’, it’s the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from the West Bank, and it’s the price of the Gaza ceasefire.

I know for a fact that the U.K. media have devoted more column inches and words to the looming threat of trans people than there are actual trans people in the U.K.

As always, when the media talk about arrests at the London march for Palestine, what they won’t say is that the police abused their powers, provoked, and repressed protestors. Arrests are not a marker of illegality.

Stop calling transphobes transphobes and start calling them trans eliminationists. Because that’s exactly what they are.

Every man who goes well I’m not like that and nor is anyone I know, he’s clearly an exceptional monster…is exactly like that or enables people who are. Because actually it takes work to recognise vulnerability and do your best not to hurt people, even if you don’t go that far

@rjmrgn.bsky.social happy birthday my good man.

Me starting a new job on Monday: Me: hi new boss and team New boss and team: hi tom, did you have a nice weekend? Me: yes, recorded some vocals for a transatlantic black metal project then had band practice with my anti-fascist hardcore sludge band.......you?

This. We have so much to give, and such a desire to share it, and instead what we get is abuse and hatred.

Punk with gruff vocals and oi / 80s HC vibes is very much my jam these days. notimepgh.bandcamp.com/album/youll-...

Don’t talk to me about El*n M*sk unless you’re telling me he’s de@d.

Fucking sick of bootlicker techbros. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Rest in piss.

My son put on my Body Void t shirt today so I told him to name 10 Body Void songs or take it off.

I think it should be a condition that, if you’re a billionaire, you have to consent to being beaten up every single day. Like at any point during the day a bunch of burly dudes will kick the everloving shit out of you. Don’t like the kickings? Give us your money then.
