I doubt we’ll even have much time to really notice how radically the world has changed for the worse in just the last few years. It won’t be long until it’s always been this way.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

My first article is out (!!!) it’s a collaborative piece I wrote last year with @sophiemng.bsky.social about moments of recorded excess, laughter, fuck-ups and longing gazes. It’s a short epistolary article and I’d love for you all to read it. I’m so excited to have it out in the world!

This is not war btwn two states, or just about Modi.

India is occupying Kashmir. There is no evidence that Pakistan was behind Pahalgam, but Indian imperial expansionism and Islamophobia drives this jingoism. Most impacted regions are lands of struggle - partioned Panjab & esp Kashmir. Free Kashmir

What Will You Do? What’s your “I am Spartacus” move to protect the more vulnerable, the targeted, the invisibled, the next-on-the-list?

"They looked suddenly like they’d just been served ortolan, like they needed to hide from God their ghoulish glee at disappearing a college student who, it was later reported, was walking to break Ramadan fast with her friends."

We condemn the University of Cambridge's attempt to place legal restrictions on all pro-Palestine protests.

Alongside @pscupdates.bsky.social and @libertyhq.bsky.social we call out this application to the High Court for an injunction what it is: a shameful attack on basic democratic rights.
