Another morning on #earth. Since being a child I've always woken up each day overwhelmed with the fact that I'm in a body on a planet spinning around in space. Have a good weekend everyone! #blueskyartshow

Another reason not to vote Reform UK on 1st May

NEW: Family of Virginia Guiffre tell NBC News: “it is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night…She lost her life to suicide after being a lifelong victim of sex abuse and sex trafficking.” She was 41 years old.

Whenever a post of mine about patriarchy gets a lot of attention, I inevitably have at least one person comment something about how I need to have more compassion for men. It makes my eyes roll back into my skull. I already have compassion for men—the lack of compassion for women is the problem!

“The game's afoot: follow your spirit, and upon this charge, cry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint George!’” Wishing all my followers a very happy Saint George’s Day x

26 March 1934 | A French Jewish boy, Francis Levin, was born in Paris. He arrived at #Auschwitz on 23 November 1943 in a transport of 1,200 Jews deported from Drancy. He was among the 914 people murdered in a gas chamber after selection.

Rachel Reeves is right that the world has changed - so why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Rigid adherence to arbitrary fiscal rules & refusing wealth taxes is a political choice that’s causing huge pain & harm, as well as laying out the welcome mat for the populists at Reform UK

🚨 CONFIRMED: Social security for disabled people has been slashed in the Spring Statement. This is cruel, irresponsible and shameful. People at food banks are already telling us that they’re terrified about how they will survive.

In a targeted attack on his car, Israel has killed Al-Jazeera's Hossam Shabat, who was only 23 years old and was one of the last remaining journalists in Gaza. There are no words.

Singer Sinéad O'Connor was told by her record label to look more feminine, which she not only ignored but rebelled against. She later wrote an open letter to Miley Cyrus warning of the misogynistic manipulation of women by the music industry #WomensArt

Get rid of this ridiculous “boys club” called DOGE. Stealing from the poor and vets is unconscionable. 😡

“Instead of cutting benefits for disabled people, wouldn’t the moral thing to do, the courageous thing to do, be to make a real tough choice and introduce a wealth tax on the very wealthiest people in our society?” @richardburgon.bsky.social #PMQs

Oh dear, what a shame boo hoo😂😂😂

I note with interest right-wing media's total absence of any concerns about prominent BBC presenter Armstrong expressing his highly political opinions. As was always perfectly clear to many of us, the problem was not that Lineker had views, but the fact they didn't approve of his views.

In grim contrast to the red carpet, Soheila Golestani faces 74 lashes for her Oscar-nominated film, The Seed of the Sacred Fig. Watch this film to understand the repression of Iran’s theocratic regime &why the #WomenLifeFreedom movement is so important: www.thetimes.com/culture/film...

Looked in at the Wedgwood Museum today, and admired these exceptional c.1785 chess pieces.

“There is no act too small. Every action matters.” AOC, awesome & on it as always.

Starmer should now say the truth; the world has profoundly changed, we cannot rely on the US anymore, and we should rejoin the EU. Negotiate re-entry with the EU soon, and then put those terms to a referendum. He'd win.

Good Day! I very much enjoyed the Tirzah Garwood: Beyond Ravilious exhibition at the Dulwich Picture Gallery. Garwood had a magical world she escaped to in her wonderful explorations with creativity. She had the potential to be one of our greatest illustrators but sadly died too young.
