Israel is still slaughtering Palestinian and Lebanese civilians and already has the full backing of the US to do quite literally whatever it wants, including attacking Iran, which was always the plan. I know that seems obvious but I just wanted to make international media aware

"John Pope is one of the region’s most celebrated instrumentalists..." Not my words, pals; the words of the lovely @narc_magazine peeps. Hitting at @theglobene4 this Sunday with John Garner, if you want to celebrate too! :D

Over 100 people killed, mostly women and children. At a school. Massacred. How is there no arms embargo on Israel? How do the people who express horror and revulsion when Putin and Assad do this sit silently by as Netanyahu does it? Don’t look away:
This is the only image I can bear to share from the massacre at Tabeen school in Gaza City. The scattered bodies and burned corpses are covered, but this glimpse barely scratches the surface of the true horror that unfolded.

Uuuuuurrgggh. Another frankly unnecessary TTRPG purchase in the form of MOTHERSHIP from @playTKG. Don’t watch @Quinns108 reviewing games late at night with money in your bank account… Excited to get spoooooky in spaaaaaace, mind 😅💀👽

FWIW I don’t seem to spend much time over here now, but I’m pretty active-ish on Instagram, so maybe gimme a follow over there if you want sporadic bass/tarot/TTRPG musings and updates: instagram.com/basspope?igsh=…

Powerful peaceful anti-right wing counter protests this evening. Elon Musk, Nigel Farage, Robert Jenrick, Matt Goodwin , Suella Braverman: you don’t know your Britain. You want to disown the violence while exploiting racist tropes. As common decency prevails, where do you stand?

Some of you are using todays events to do the “haha can’t believe you lot are soo gullible” thing, in order to feel better/more intelligent than others As if seeing the sort of solidarity displayed today isn’t somewhat reassuring for many people across the country
