Blow me down with a feather. I am experiencing the @ALCS_UK high when you get paid for work that you never would have been paid otherwise, or even known about. Seriously, all #writers need to join ALCS, aka every writer's fairy godmother. #WritingCommunity

Very excited to see @holliepoetry in Barcelona tonight for some poetry in the sun (I mean the shade).

This brilliant moment did working parents a huge favour so I have to say thank you to this family. I have thought of you on lots of child sick days in recent years.

Powerful words by 102 years old philosopher Edgar Morin, one of France's most revered intellectual figures, as well as a Jewish WW2 resistant who fought as a lieutenant in De Gaulle's France combattante.
https://t.co/SJXMywTXb5
Here are his words on Gaza: "I am both astonished and outraged by the fact that those who represent the descendants of a people who were persecuted for centuries for religious or racial reasons... That the descendants of this people who are today the decision-makers of the State of Israel, that they could not only colonize an entire people, partly drive them out of their land and seek to expel them for good... But also, after the massacre of October 7, engaged in a real massive slaughter on the populations of Gaza and continue, incessantly, hitting civilians, women, and children.

And to see the silence of the world, the silence of the United States, protectors of Israel, the silence of the Arab states, the silence of the European states who claim to be defenders of culture, humanity, human rights.

I think we are living through a horrible tragedy because we are also powerless in the face of this thing that is unleashing. At least, I say: bear witness! The only thing that remains if we cannot resist concretely is to testify. Let's resist in our minds, let's not be fooled, let's not forget, let's have the courage to face things head-on."

CUTRE Y RACISTA 😒

En España hay racismo estructural aunque se siga negando. Pudiendo poner una persona negra de Baltasar deciden siempre pintar de negro una persona blanca…. estar acomplejado….

EN ESPAÑA HAY NEGROS! #blackface
