"They were waiting for me when I got off the plane... I was not prepared for them having a file on me... If you are deleting social media ~48hrs before your flight to the US, *it is already too late.*" Australian journalist denied entry to US, detained + deported for writing about Columbia protests

Let’s be clear- this Labour government isn’t just using existing capacity in the private sector to bring down NHS waiting lists - they’re building that capacity🚨. They’re funnelling billions into private companies when they could be investing in publicly-owned NHS services.

This lovely lovely memory came up on my FB - album launch at The Forge ten years ago today. #MusicSky #MusicLife #LondonMusicians #Music #Album

Apparently Trump posted this to his X. Not worth logging back in to find out but either way, it shows just how far AI has to go before it understands basic musical things, like why fingers move in time (!) why amplification exists (!), & *gasp* that mouths move when we sing. #MusicSky #AI

Global March to Gaza have called off their efforts in Egypt to explore other options, but Marco van Rennes, Pascal Maurieras, & Yanis Mhamdi are finally going home via Jordan (taken from Gaza Freedom Flotilla Telegram & Global March to Gaza Insta) ❤️

Israel has sent three flotilla volunteers, Marco van Rennes, Pascal Maurieras, & Yanis Mhamdi, back to prison. Here're UK & US instructions for supporting their return (taken from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition Telegram). #FreedomFlotilla #Gaza www.humantiproject.org/israel-has-s...

Longest video I can find so far of Thunberg’s Paris deportation interview. Very inspiring to watch the Boudicca of our times give exemplary (bilingual) press interviews with courage, conviction, & integrity. #FreedomFlotilla #Gaza www.youtube.com/live/Hvios9G...

Latest 'Misogyny in Music' report. Our Gov't rejected the last one's recommendations to strengthen legislation & create a Creative Industries Independent Standards Authority (CIISA) despite misogyny being found to be "endemic". #MusicSky #Misogyny committees.parliament.uk/publications...

Latest update on the Madleen crew as of 45mins ago, taken from the Freedom Flotilla Telegram

Latest Telegram re: #Madleen @freedomflotilla.bsky.social

Have suddenly realised how funny it would be to sign off emails with 'Forever in debt to your priceless advice' and it's now going to be incredibly difficult to resist the temptation to do so for the rest of my career.

Jeremy Corbyn reacts to Gaza Flotilla - ‘Its only weapon is the weapon of example’ & addresses UK’s culpability in selling arms. youtu.be/WDwMPIMkgkQ?...

I followed this on Telegram & Aljazeera until about 2.30 last night, as they were illegally captured on international waters, & again this morning for the many weak political responses & a near-silence in the media - the cowardice is deafening.

So far their Telegram channel shows four crew members including Greta Thunberg have been kidnapped.

Something for freelancer workplaces to think on: Why won’t some women turn up to team events? Or pop into the office & say hi? Why aren’t they taking some work on? Why do they keep to? 🤔 We don’t owe you an explanation + we know you won’t believe let alone protect us. #MusicSky #AcademicSky

UK instructions for supporting & protecting the ‘Madleen’ @freedomflotilla.bsky.social #FreedomFlotilla

UK instructions for supporting & protecting the ‘Madleen’ @freedomflotilla.bsky.social #FreedomFlotilla

Live update June 8 1600 EEST on Telegram @ffc_official_channel The #Madleen now sails just 165 nautical miles from #Gaza, a vessel of courage navigating hostile waters. As they draw nearer, we carry a revolutionary hope in our hearts that they will reach Gaza, ...2/

🚨 ACTION ALERT: The UK MUST protect ‘Madleen’ 🚨 The ‘Madleen’ is a UK-flagged civilian ship sailing to Gaza with life-saving aid as part of the #FreedomFlotilla. The UK has a legal duty to protect its vessel and the civilians aboard from Israeli interference. ..2/

I used to party, now I just get my work done & wait for the US to turn on.

“Bless every one of these brave activists. They are carrying the heart of humanity right now.”

I love this time of day. I’m just the right level of tired & wired to receive the inevitable hallucinations coming out of the US as it gets going. *stocks up on popcorn*

Imagine if it were two women behaving like this.

look, we're all out here making ourselves stressed out and miserable with terrible news all the time please let yourself enjoy this, for your own mental health

While we all grab the popcorn, may I remind you that as those massive man-babies throw the world’s toys out their prams, our generation’s Boudicca, Greta Thunberg, is en route to the mouth of hell to break the siege & deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Guess I just found a reason to log back into 'X'. Not seen men get this emotional since *checks notes* I didn't accept a random man's advance in the park yesterday.

happy Pride everybody

Listen up, musos. When you work unpaid, the costs of doing that (computer, lights on, kettle etc.) come from somewhere else. If your other money subsidises that, you're basically paying your boss. If that's not OK with you join a union, push back, have the difficult conversations etc. #MusicSky

Music production tip: When you're setting up your studio, make sure you stick some pieces of foam on the wall. Bad sounds are attracted to foam and that way they won't go into your song. Also, if you get overexcited making your music and start going berserk, you won't damage that part of the wall 👍

my roman empire rn is the fact that greta thunberg is on a boat to gaza with 11 other people, trying to deliver aid, knowing there’s a good chance they could die. while every government in the world is not doing shiiit. the badassery is out of this world. put em in the history books!!! i’m emotional
