Does #radio get any more joyful than @cerysmatthews.bsky.social speaking with Hamza Yassin about the beauty of the natural world and the power of music to unite
Or should that be the power of the natural world and the beauty of music to unite?

What a photo.
Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman?
Show me a time when it hasn’t been, especially for working class women.
"Why aren't the Free Palestine people cheering about the ceasefire?"
If you saw a man beating a child into a coma, would you cheer after the beating stopped? No, your first reaction would be horror at what happened and your second would be fear that he'll attack the kid again.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

You don’t get to bankroll a genocide…
Embolden and cheer on the perpetrators
…and then call yourself a hero for pulling the plug.

Programme for the play ‘Punch’ at the Apollo Theatre. The orange fronted cover features the photograph of a young man in a white shirt and jeans who is breathing out a cloud of dust/light particles.
Headshot of actor Tony Hirst.
Really fortunate to see #Punch at the West End tonight
Of even greater privilege was to be in the audience for a post-performance discussion on masculinity
Actor Tony Hirst walked the walk of allyship as he called out male privilege and the falsehood that the far right are acting to protect women
Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.
