'the old is not yet dead and the new is not yet born’

Journalist.

Trying to make sense of what's happening in the meantime.

@donne_mark Probably so... I think it’s credit to the movement that people engaged in that way, and that, fully justified or not from XR’s pov, there’s potential in the discussion. Be good to chat as I’m interested to know what follow up there is...

[Julie Tomlin @JulieTomlin]

Get your point, given issues of race, class, experiences of global south etc, they are important issues/tensions and so maybe 1) how do we work together from now on? 2) what would pave the way to those ‘asks’ being populated and actioned

[Julie Tomlin @JulieTomlin]

@donne_mark But response to criticism like this is critical/important... That’s not to say that lots hasn’t been done, but the onus is surely on keeping things on that footing

“...The crisis is an economic model that no longer works, which is fuelling the rise of fascism, racism and misogyny, and the imposition of algorithmic control by states and corporations.”

Way forward for Labour's internationalist and socially-liberal left? Support our MEP candidates, stage left primaries to select new NEC candidates, make the Green New Deal our #1 issue - and unite in action to kill the f*cking dragon... https://t.co/CRSaZ2BSsN

Tonight @DavidJRosenberg told stories @RyeBooks about radicals who lived here/what they achieved. A tale of a different city, one in danger of being lost to finance HQs, luxury flats and student accommodation, but important as potential source of a different future…

April: I’ve walked a trail to London's hidden wells & springs, seen Waterloo Bridge transformed into a garden by @ExtinctionR…& the city has never seemed so enchanting and alive

Dublin, mentioned 50 times in this poem...

@JulieTomlin @mikegarry @official_jcc @HawksWellSligo Here it is again: https://t.co/WajGFlHDUk

@SJSwords @mikegarry @official_jcc @HawksWellSligo You're welcome. Had some time in Dublin after and it was good walking recalling a few lines of 'Dublin You Are'

[Julie Tomlin @JulieTomlin]

Coming out of my own “semi retirement” from Twitter to tip my hat to
@SJSwords & @mikegarry who opened for the marvellous @official_jcc at @HawksWellSligo. A night during a jaunt to Ireland that was both funny & charmed. Definitely worth seeing/reading if you haven’t already...

We are planting trees in the middle of #ParliamentSquare. It's time to work with and like and not against nature.

“Hopeless realism, tinkering at the edges..got us into this mess. It will not get us out
“Do not allow those who have caused this crisis to define the limits of political action. Do not allow those whose magical thinking got us into this mess to tell us what can & cannot be done”

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Why do civilisations collapse? Not because they lack technology or expertise, but because the power of oligarchs blocks the necessary solutions. Will this happen to us? My column:

“As Ms. Marvel says: Good is not a thing you are. It’s a thing you do. This is not about censorship. It never was. It’s about consequences, about drawing a line in the sand.”

I would have a smidge more respect for the far right if a single one of them had replied ‘don’t modulate the key then not debate with me’. But they didn’t, and now it’s too late. https://t.co/lOhpakGOfu

@SMFFearn Thanks Simon, sorry I couldn’t return your call. Will be in touch tomorrow.
