Waste and dystopia, sure it's grand down here in the dirt

[Kavita Thanki @big2leg]

I wrote a thing & you can find it here. You can find some other amazing things here too

Today's trashy workshop has been cancelled, but the good folks over at @ImagineBelfast are true to their name and have reimagined what a festival can look like. Find the online events listings here: https://t.co/ql78UMeBQK

So many beautiful voices!

To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay Women's Day, we present an audio anthology of work from 15 poets.

The themes and issues are diverse and distinct, but all have one thing in common: simply great writing.

@mza_artists @Daniel_Sloss London Palladium in May

[Kavita Thanki @big2leg]

Sat beside someone who had a panic attack in @Daniel_Sloss's show X. Thought it worth the warning (although he apparently doesn't??) that you may find it re-traumatising if you've experienced sexual assault

[Kavita Thanki @big2leg]

@seank1979 Thanks for watching! Hope it's helped you think more about your relationship with waste and value systems :)

[Kavita Thanki @big2leg]

@cyborg_feminist @UtopianActs Gaah sorry, am rarely on twitter! Yep -- maybe also check out @racheledini1's work on resisting use-putting as a (utopian!) means of resisting capitalism

'Query them on the documented, not speculative, environmental protection afforded by, say, making cheap picture frames. Reject the notion that cheap picture frames are a [necessary] social good' uh she's so good #zerowaste #recycling https://t.co/VF2lW5Zvju

Whenever I start to feel like Belfast is stagnant & stifling, I think of Arundhati Roy @aroybot still in India despite the hate mail & court cases -- doggedly, gracefully screeching 'fuck you' to the polluters there, the ones who turn people into dirt https://t.co/J0EOv1ybmq

The demand for basic rights of bodily autonomy and equal marriage (on par with the rest of the UK) is a fundamental, bare minimum of what we need for a better NI, no? If not that, what are they rallying for?

40K retweets, yet no one asking: "Where does the corn starch come from? How much land does it need? How much food is it displacing? How can the planet sustain ANY form of mass disposability?". Not super cool at all.
