This event is on Thursday 12th of March, Shankill Women's Centre. We're hosting politicians, urban growers and community activists. I'll be speaking at it and calling for more action for communities. It's free, but register for a ticket if you're interested.

Polls have closed in the first of this year's five German state elections, in prosperous Baden-Württemberg. It's looking like a remarkable win-from-behind by the Greens under @oezdemir.de. Full results over the course of the evening.

The north exports over 90% of its produce, which is meat and dairy. The UK as a whole imports 47% of its food.
We're currently not capable of feeding ourselves.

You can't breathe your way through it.
You can't meditate your way through it.
You can't spa weekend your way through it.
You can't retail therapy your way through it.
You can't lean in and "see the other side" your way through it.
Your nervous system is screaming because you're not.

It's not the "Iran war." It's the "attack by the US and Israel on Iran."
You could attempt to act like a news outlet.

Psychopathic politicians are so widespread now that their cruelty is a daily occurrence. The Overton Window now overlooks the seventh circle of hell.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay2026💕
A few facts regarding women that might surprise you:
🚩 Women&girls are worst impacted by climate crisis
🚩 Most of the world’s refugees are women&girls
🚩 No country in the world pays women equally as well as men - Iceland is best at 90%

🚩Women are responsible for between 50 % and 80% of food production, but these numbers largely omit any unpaid labour.

"We need to keep our children hungry, and in poverty, so we can kill children in other countries" is some policy.

The Iranian diaspora who were dancing in the streets, thanking Trump, have gone very quiet.

I see the US/Israeli plan to free Iranians from its tyrant is the same as the plan to free Palestinians from Hamas.

Carpet bomb and slaughter them.

"Ah here, luv. When's International Men's Day, like?"
His face when I told him 😉

It's International Women's Day this Sunday.
When they start with the usual "But when's International Mens Day?!!" it's on November 19.
You're welcome.

When someone tells me they're "proud to be (insert nationality), I congratulate them on their achievement and ask what it took? 90% of the time, it's met with a look of confusion.

The President of Ireland has sent her support for our Strength in Solidarity Climate event in the Shankill Women's Centre next Thursday 😎
All our elected representatives have been invited to hear from the community growers and 3rd sector organisations across the city. We'll see who turns up.

TRT World - US troops told Iran war is 'God's plan' to trigger Armageddon, watchdog says More than 200 complaints allege military commanders framed US strikes on Iran as part of a biblical prophecy, invoking the Book of Revelation and describing Trump as divinely 'anointed', according to ...

The US needs stopped.

“Our commander......urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God's divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.”

Adam Parsons: "In the eyes of many people this is an illegal attack"

No, according to international law it is an illegal attack. Do your job, look out of the window and tell us if its raining.
