I know I haven’t written anything in a while but I just had some of my writing on radio for Chapel FM’s Writing On Air Festival!! It’s the first thing I’ve done since graduating. If you missed it you can catch it in the archives! Small steps into new things ✨✨

Great news! A new bill has just been put forward in Iceland's parliament that would ban whaling for good and prohibit the export or sale of whale products.

Representatives of four of Iceland's political parties are backing the bill, arguing that whaling is against the nation's laws, public opinion and cultural heritage.

This is brilliant news and brings us one step closer to making Icelandic whaling history!

This week, MPs agreed that peaceful protesters, whether convicted of any crime or not, can be electronically tagged, forced to report to the police, forbidden to associate with others or to attend or encourage further protests.
Somehow this passed almost all of you by.

This is distressing, and important. And his point ‘you’ve had ten years’ is really powerful.

Just left #ReclaimTheseStreets vigil. I went to connect with women in our shared grief but it was ruined by men’s behaviour — the man who occupied stage with megaphone who wouldn’t leave, photographers + cameramen inches away, refusing to stop and chatting through minute silence.
