yes I was wondering about that
Bare black tree trunks and branches against a grey-white sky.
Some lovely goth trees in Festival Gardens today, makes me think of an @ianrpearsall.bsky.social print 🖤
There are siskins in there somewhere… 🤷♀️
yes but is it a baby banana from a child's school lunch box?
I hope not... or is that what works best on TikTock?
who is it attributed to less often?
hope it goes well...

the stealing the blossom, no the "Get ‘em by the plums, Mr Mayor!"
that's a selfish thing to be doing...
The threat to Rojava is grave and resonates beyond Syria. This is where the phrase Woman Life Freedom was first used. This cannot be where it dies.
I write for the Guardian about why we should all be standing by the women in NE Syria in these desperate times.

Women are braiding their hair in solidarity with the Kurdish women facing up to oppression in Syria.
Not a beauty trend.
But very beautiful.

Feminists across the world are paying tribute to Yanar Mohammed, great defender of women’s rights, who was assassinated today in Iraq.

Devastated to learn that the great Yanar Mohammed, founder of the Organization for Women's Freedom in Iraq, was assassinated today by 'unknown' gunmen in Baghdad.

5. In most cases, it is against the law to condition federal employment on a candidate’s political views.

FACT: The Trump administration started a war in the Middle East with NO PLAN WHATSOEVER to ensure the safety of the hundreds of thousands of American citizens in the region.
Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, said on Monday in a social media post that he could not vouch for either route’s safety, but that he was “Praying your safe passage!” “We’re religious people,” Mr. Harris said, “but that’s not exactly what you want to hear from the government.”
Thoughts and prayers! is the policy solution to the tens of thousands Americans unable to get home.
I'd forgotten about that. Thanks for the reminder.
and some people will believe it to be true. And no one in the room can say it's a lie
It's hard to hear K Starmer backing up what has just been said.
Maybe Mr Shelbrooke would like to repeat those allegations outside the HoP - Mr Ali could then consider instruction his legal team.
surely it will cost more...
Hi! Immigration lawyer here! Mahmood's view of the Refugee Convention as providing temporary protection just isn’t correct & AFAIK isn’t one anyone has ever adopted.
On the contrary, the Convention is clearly predicated on a long-term need for protection.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1670 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The main headline reads “TRUMP ATTACKS IRAN,” with a subheading “HOW OPERATION EPIC FURY UNFOLDED.” The cover features four photo panels set in the situation-room with US political figures seated around a table. Speech bubbles add dialogue: “Is the Supreme Leader dead?” followed by “No, Trump always looks like this!”; “Mission accomplished!” answered with “Yes, I’ve killed the Epstein story”; “What happens next?” with the reply “Popular revolt and regime change,” and a follow-up, “In America?”; and finally, “Why have you started this war?” answered with “So that I can stop it,” alongside “I’ll ring the Nobel Committee.”
Trump Attacks Iran. How Operation Epic Fury unfolded…
The new Private Eye is out now.
"Every uncritical mention of far-right rhetoric is an editorial decision with political consequences. Every headline, every clip, every click adds weight. This is how the line gets crossed."
"And how some media are no longer just covering the far right but helping it speak."

'El-Tayyab said the pending vote has already increased pressure on the administration to provide more information to Congress, pointing to a handful of Republicans who have expressed scepticism. “This proves that the debate is not abstract politics,” El-Tayyab said.'
a different way?
