Couldn't resist. That's not my Booky Wook.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is. It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime. This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

Legitimate Concerns?

Today’s poem in the form of a Hauku: The concerned citizen Concerned citizen, unbelievably was a xenophobic prick. #Haiku #Concernedcitizen

She said she preferred chocolate to me. (Specifically, CDM, as she's all about the classics.) I coated my skin in Shea Butter and went on the sunbeds until it became culturally inappropriate. My nightgown was traditional purple foil. The wooing experiment predictably failed. #poetry experiment.

We don’t deserve love. It's not the be all / end all. Organic, not false. #haiku. Philosophical about life.

#strongmessagehere I was at a CIPD exhibition at the Excel last week. When fielding questions all the key note speakers replied with "that's a great question" before answering. I can't be the only one to notice this unusual trait?

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants. History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well. 🧵
