18yo Lana on the trauma of fleeing #Artsakh.
"I don’t want people to remember my homeland for its tragedies. Yes, there has been an immense loss and sorrow, but in my memories, it’s not only about sadness, but about beauty, strength and resilience."https://t.co/vxETtWGcXd

Please remember it was @Influxpress that first published Percival Everett in the UK.

A reminder it is the small presses that do a great deal of the heavy lifting in finding great new writing.

.@ForcedEnts, known for its challenging, confrontational work, is turning 40. In a Long Read, the experimental company’s founders, including artistic director @Tim_Etchells, talk about its evolution, improvisation and working together for four decades 👇 https://t.co/MAnP3YwXWd

[Forced Entertainment @ForcedEnts]

This year, 2024, we are 40. It’s an extraordinary record: six artists sustaining a unique partnership and creating work together for all this time. As part of our celebrations we are presenting a Season of Performances and Collaborations in London.

“Sheila Heti said ‘You cannot [make art] by looking at a toaster.’ It struck me as a provocation. Perhaps you *can* do it by looking at a toaster, I thought.”

[Bletchley Park @bletchleypark]

❤️ Yesterday, we welcomed 18 wonderful Veterans who worked at Bletchley Park during WW2 to return to the once top-secret site for the Annual Veterans’ Reunion.

Aged between 97 to (almost) 102, Veterans enjoyed an afternoon tea in the Mansion, spending time together, with family and friends and reminiscing on their wartime experiences.

Hazel Halter, who worked in the Naval Section during WW2, is now 99 years old and attended the reunion for the first time. She said: "I am so glad I came here to my first reunion. I have had a most enjoyable time. I was so happy during my time working at Bletchley Park, with wonderful friends. It has brought back so many lovely memories."

Love it!

When leaders like Starmer blather on about “tough choices”, why is it *always* code for hitting some of the poorest hardest? Where’s the “tough choice” of a wealth tax on the super-rich? Why do shivering pensioners have to pay the price for “fixing the foundations”? #bbclaurak

People voted for change, but @UKLabour insists on flogging the dead horse of austerity to appease the right. Austerity doesn’t work. We want publicly-owned utilities, starting with water. Stop thinking donors & profiteers, start thinking investment & infrastructure

[Greg Stone 🔶 @gm_stone]

I hope the BBC reflect on how their normalisation of Farage during the election helped to enable this, and I hope that Ofcom reflect on how their utter failure to effectively regulate GB News has helped to further fuel the situation.

[Cath Phillips @phillipscath]

@KatyaTaylor Woohoo! Congratulations! Great news!

The majority of MPs do a good job. But It shouldn’t take public pressure to make an MP failing to do their job step down 😠 I've signed this petition calling for MPs to have minimum standards they MUST meet. Join me? https://t.co/uMBI7aJOHf

[Brendan May @bmay]

It was the media's puerile fixation with Johnson that gave you that bumbling venal cretin, stop doing it with Farage, or we'll end up like Le Pen's France or Wilders in the Netherlands. He has 4 seats. So do the Greens. Get a fucking grip.
