this book is a masterpiece. so incredibly comforting

my friend said that when you have high verbal intelligence (good at expressing yourself/arguing) you should be careful not to take advantage of other people who are less good at “debating” and that’s always stuck with me

[Ellie Flynn @ellieflynn]

A reminder that nearly 2000 serving police officers, PCSOs and special constables were accused of sexual misconduct in just four years in the UK. Just 8% of the officers accused were dismissed from the force.

This is Horace de Vere Cole (1881-1936). He’s gone down in history as practical joker. Among his many pranks, he paid for bald men to attend fancy theatre events, & painted their heads with letters that spelt out FUCK or BOLLOCKS, words visible only to those in the circle & boxes

@nomadicrevery have you listened to the MJ Lendermen album Boat Songs? seems well up your street.

Everyone agrees that racism is disgusting and wrong.

But why is anti Traveller and Romany racism and prejudice seen as acceptable?

Why isn't this type of hate called out the same way that any other racism is?

If you are anti racism, then be anti racism. All racism is wrong.

for like two weeks last year I made a venn diagram every day but I quit when I was busy doing shows. I kind of missed it though, so now I'm BACK. it is, once again, day one of making a venn diagram every day

It’s always the victims of racism that are expected to “rise above it” - usually by people who don’t know what it feels like.

This battle may be lost but we must keep fighting. Please continue to put pressure on your MPs, local authorities & the government to #KeepCaringto18. It should be the bare minimum in a so-called developed country.

I really want people who think abusers can be rehabilitated to read Why Does He Do That by Dr Lundy Bancroft. That book was written by a man who has spent years running an abuser rehabilitation program and the picture he paints is…not good

[TravellersAgainstRacism @TravellerRacism]

You're a Traveller with a young family. Sites are full. Stopping places have been closed off. Youre not welcome on caravan parks. You cant stay on the roadside. You can't keep driving forever. Your family needs rest. You see an empty carpark. You are exhausted. What would you do?

[Afrori Books | Bookseller of the Year 2023 @AfroriBooks]

We were delighted to have the opportunity to donate books to @Sistah_Space earlier this year. This is a vital service for black women in the UK and the fact that it has had to close its doors to protect its staff from racists is something this country should be ashamed of.

[The Folklore Centre, Todmorden @CentreMyth]
