I’ve written an open letter (found IN the link below) in my attempt to help #SaveSquareChapelArts (Halifax) & managed to get a group of well-known pals to back my cause. 🙌 I’d be enormously grateful if you could read the letter & repost. 🙏🏻 Many thanks x www.canncomms.co.uk/post/open-le...

Monster fishing vessels are hoovering up whole ecosystems in UK waters that are supposed to be protected. I just signed a petition calling on the new government to save our seas from destructive fishing, by banning supertrawlers in UK Marine Protected Areas. Will you join me?

The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall. I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this evil.

The walls have been uncovered of what is thought to be one of England's earliest & largest leprosy hospital, the Hospital of the Holy Innocents, Lincoln which dates from the late 11th or early 12th century.👇 BBC News - Medieval leprosy hospital uncovered in Lincoln www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m always happy to hear from BlueSky folks who recognize Alexei Navalny’s name and appreciate his bravery. If you have not read his autobiography, I encourage you to do so.

I know we’re all thinking about what happened at Cornell. But I also can’t stop thinking about Emma Sulkowicz and all the other young women forced to carry that weight. Read my column at the newsletter 💜

This isn't *just* a sincere and committed actor and director trying to save something of value for a West Yorkshire community. He's backed by experts in the arts and heritage sectors. These are serious people, with an important goal. Let's bring this to as many eyes as possible! 👍

If you could take a minute to read this and, if it takes your fancy, then re-post it… I’d be so grateful. 🙏🏻 I’m doing my utmost to #SaveSquareChapelArts for the good people of Halifax & far beyond, and I need all the help you lovely lot can give me. Thank you! x www.canncomms.co.uk/post/actor-a...

Oh yes please, this would be such a great project. It would be amazing for Halifax, and would be another magnet to draw in people from out of town (like the Piece Hall does). I couldn't imagine a better custodian than Reece either, so fingers crossed something comes of this!

I would love to breathe new life into this little gem… but I NEED funding! I may well eventually turn to you good people, but if there’s an arts-loving benefactor out there who fancies putting their shirt on a passionate, highly-qualified player, then do give me a shout.🙏🏻 Please RT, folks! x

Oh my… if only I had the money (or the backing) I’d buy this place (adjacent to The Piece Hall in Halifax) & run it as Artistic Director. I was once its Patron. A jewel in Yorkshire’s magnificent crown, please someone rescue/revive this little diamond. 💎 🙏🏻 www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/people/...

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

Anyone else get a message on entering Blue-sky? Basically it asked for my birthday with an option below of signing out or deleting my account. Is this genuine? #Blue-sky #scam #musk?

The Epstein files prove there is no justice for the wealthy in the US. They can almost always buy themselves out of a bad situation. If you are rich enough, the law is optional. You don't face consequences. You just pay a fee

Word spaghetti doesn’t cover it.

I keep trying to word a post to describe the presidential address to the press which is ongoing, and nothing quite covers it. It’s a ramble, of a babble of a frayed meander through the disordered thoughts of a strange, strange man. Who happens to be president.

Once again Trump bats for Putin and blames Zelensky for not caving in to unreasonable demands. In Trump’s version, I’m guessing Ukraine also broke every ceasefire by being bombed. Bloody Zelensky!

Yesterday Mark Carney was told, “Mr Carney, there’s a genocide in Palestine”. “I’m aware,” Carney told the protester, “That’s why we have an arms embargo.” This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.
