If you repost this repost shamelessly plugging the gig me & Forcione are doing in Brighton then i'll do a random winner pick thing as well & if you win that & if I've been lucky enough to win Kathy Burke's brilliant book I'll lend it to you.

Not right wing & anti-asylum enough for her. She's never even tried to conceal her bias.

Finally a politician who offers compassion empathy & hope

It's easy to forget the mainstream media are the minority. They shout so loudly it makes it seem like they're the majority when in reality they're just a small group of immensely wealthy people who don't want to pay their fair share of taxes

I don't care if it's common, I prefer mine defaced.

Fi @fleabaglady.bsky.social · 12d

Not really the point, is it? The idea is supporting artists.
I also still buy physical CDs of my favourite artists, rather than streaming, because it provides me with an offline digital version AND it's a much more effective way of paying them for their work.
