Another snippet from Faustus: That Damned Woman written by #chrisbush directed by @NastazjaDom and sung by wonderful cast from Rose Bruford College youtu.be/4sZJP5-jVSU?si=BB2h…

Piers, It may seems like attention seeking, but we shouldn't miss the mark. Greta isn't seeking attention she's stepping into the void left by governments and institutions that have failed to act. She's risking everything to break the siege in Gaza and stop a genocide that the world has turned a blind eye to. Calling her an "attention-seeking narcissist" dismisses her courage and the desperate plight of those she's fighting for. She's not insulting the hostages, she's amplifying their suffering in a world that refuses to listen.

I'm writing a play with @katiehurley @jovanabackovic & @NevenaStojkov I couldn't be more excited or more full of rage. #ElianneAndam #Katie #genderedviolence #masculinity #patriarchy #equality #abuse #shame @graysonperry @jessphillips @bphillipsonMP @naushabah_khan @RefugeCharity

Starmer says targeting disabled benefits is about fairnes Fairness would be making the super rich pay more & having a fully funded social security system for everyone. What Labour are doing isnt motivated by fairness. Its about protecting the rich & making ordinary people pay

The people of #Serbia have very specific questions, they need to know whether negligence and corruption have led to this tragedy. People have the right to be angry and to protest against the lack of transparency in the investigation. Restricting freedom of expression or using excessive and unjustified force against politicians and citizens is unacceptable. Those who protested peacefully and were illegally detained or arrested should be released immediately. reneweuropegroup.eu/news/202… via @RenewEurope

Journalists and people who work in the news media that aren’t screaming about Gaza are all, every single one, our enemies. They are our appointed arbiters of truth and their silence on matters of such grave importance as genocide is a betrayal of all humanity.

Israel is attacking the Kamal Adwan hospital, where children are being treated. But they're Palestinian children, so Keir Starmer doesn't care.

The British government is helping commit genocide without even having as much as a single debate in Parliament about its direct military involvement — never mind a vote — and you think we live in a democracy? ARE YOU FUCKING OK?

Anathema, my first solo release under @infinite_rituals is nearly done. I own this gorgeous cover to #arpadslancik who kindly allowed me to use a photo of one of his artworks. Release is inspired by #renégirard book Violence and the Sacred and is first in the cycle of songs.
