There's nothing better than Brooke, having been away, returning to the mic with a razor-sharp ten minute monologue it feels like she's spent the time pondering on, and throughout which she doesn't miss a beat 🙌

Another thing that happened this week was I ran my workshop on collaborative story-making with BA students, and wow did it remind me how generative and knotty and fulfilling those collective learning spaces can be

Involves hitchhiking in Romania, the Pied Piper, and occasionally schnapps.

More boats. More flotillas. Beautiful.

BREAKING: 45 civilian boats have just set sail from Turkey bound for Gaza.

It comes as a direct response to Israel’s illegal interception and abduction of the Global Sumud Flotilla and its 500 passengers.

Remarkable.

"We are actually in a consistent battle to unleash and free our imaginations in the face of unrelenting oppression... Imagination is an important terrain of struggle."

And this line, which gave me shivers:

"grief is abundant, and fascists are listening closely"

hc. krempels @hckrempels.com · 22d

"This is not about saving poor white people. It is about refusing to let fascism monopolise their grief. It is about refusing to cede the terrain of belonging, ritual and story to the far right."

"We need white folks to organise here. White folks who understand the system, who have studied alongside, marched alongside, posted Black squares, built credibility alongside and sought affirmation from Black and racialised leaders...must now step into responsibility like never before."

Isaac Herzog is named directly in the UN report which states clearly that Israel is committing genocide - he is named as one of the figures inciting genocide. Last week Keir Starmer felt it was fit to roll our the red carpet for Herzog on in a visit to Britain.
