As the world bears witness to Israel's deliberate starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, the Knesset yesterday voted overwhelmingly to annex the West Bank.

It is a moral imperative for our government to immediately recognise the State of Palestine. History will not forgive us.

This story is so dystopian, using anti-terror legislation to arrest a man for holding up a cartoon from a beloved national magazine at a peaceful demo. I really lost it though when the police got the suspect's name after finding his "senior bus pass"

A sudden dramatic shift in the BBC's coverage.

Why?

Because everybody knows that the utter calamity engulfing Gaza is going to be impossible to hide.

For the Guilty Men of the media: you all had ample warning for 21 months!

You did this! Everything that now happens is on you.

Me: what a strange thing to do considering the historical dominance of male stories due to the patriarchy.
Also me: omg that looks like the perfect place to submit my novel to.

Did you know only 8% of England’s countryside has a right of public access? And only 3% of our rivers? Sign this petition from @Right2Roam calling for access reform this election. We shouldn’t be shut out of our own country, or risk being told off for going for a swim! We need access for everyone.

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/un...

I killed a spider
Not a murderous brown recluse
Nor even a black widow
And if the truth were told this
Was only a small spider
Sort of papery spider
Who should have run
When I picked up the book
But she didn't
And she scared me
And I smashed her

I don't think
I'm allowed

To kill something

Because I am

Frightened.
