Northern, Miner’s Strikes Protest is in my blood. Geordie accent, NHS workers, the Beatles. Beaches in winter, building sandcastles anyway. Billy Elliot. I try to force myself to assimilate, speak in Geordie or even brummy, never in my dialect, never in the tongue of my people. Never show them fear, you were born here. But,…

Hamilton is a perfect example. God bless Lin Manuel Miranda. He represents the loss of hope and trust in the system. Obama ten years ago, Trump now. We’ve gone backwards. What would the founding fathers say? RISE UP. TELL YOUR BROTHERS AND YOUR SISTERS TO RISE UP https://open.spotify.com/album/0ZbK4Yjy6MO72GAMcqpzXJ?si=czt691DrQl2Vkp3l2eHUwg

as always, BMT displaying best practice and setting an example for all UK museums. What a joy this exhibition is. Samuel is a wonderful person, and has asked to work with school children in Birmingham. In particular, those who are disabled and marginalised.

I’m tired Of being a good time. Sometimes, it’s like all songs In human existence, were written purposefully, fiercely about me. It is sharp. Bright. Like someone turned up the volume.

NOT A CONFLICT NOT A WAR STOP THE OCCUPATION NOW Amplifying Palestinian voices, and not just speaking for them is important. They are humans with lives too, with families and hopes, worries, dreams. Location and skin colour is the only difference. They killed my father and took my younger brother. When he was arrested, He…

the stats for my blog so far are so nice to see, my voice is being listened to, that is powerful. Being a woman, in itself, is resistance. Being a lesbian, in itself, is resistance. In a society that hates us, kills us and then blames us for it. It is a really comfort to…
