Can you imagine if Russia had killed 165 Ukrainian schoolgirls? Or if Hamas had killed 165 Israeli schoolgirls? Or if Iran had killed 165 American schoolgirls?

The outrage would, rightly, be off the charts. It'd be spoken about for years.

But when the US killed 165 Iranian schoolgirls... Silence.

distant shores
onced tethered
an anchor of hope
or a garrote of delusion

horizons shift
the sun sets
but it will always rise again

Keir Starmer saying "we have learned the lessons of Iraq" and refusing to join in the illegal, unprovoked and utterly insane US-Israeli war against Iran is the only time I can say have been impressed by Keir Starmer. The man finally grew a spine and stood up for something.

Three years ago I helped write a story along with 174 other writers across the globe.

The Masks We Wear:

❀️ Exploration of identity
🧑 Mental health rep
πŸ’› Chronic illness rep
πŸ’š LGBTQ+ rep
πŸ’™ Intricate family threads
πŸ’œ And ultimately, what it means to finally shed our masks.

Saying Starmer is not a racist, genocidal drunkard is probably the greatest compliment Starmer has ever received. πŸ˜…

It's a no from me.

AI, LLMs in particular, is built on stolen human creativity and is absolutely horrendous for the planet (the energy it consumed is sickening).

Visited the cemetery today for the first time in a while. The weather hasn't been great for months, to be fair. Can't believe it's going to have been a whole year tomorrow...

There are those
Who #quest
For treasure or fame
And others
For love or retribution
If only
There were more
Who quested for peace

USA & ISRAEL have begun unilateral regime change war on Iran. This is illegal. In my SOTU analysis I warned Trump’s obsessive praise of war heroes was for the purpose of priming the pump for more warβ€”days later here we are

The people's flag is brightest green
Soon on every tree to be seen
The colour of life, of peace and hope
Wiping the slate, vibrant and clean
