Blessed to make it down to the final afternoon @h.artslane.

Such a visceral response, seeing all Matthew's work on the walls, annotated.

Even more blessed to see lots of familiar faces and to meet @matthew.collings_. A chance to say thank you in person and to support artists in Gaza.

The warmth, compassion & thoughtfulness of the chats that take place in such spaces are so precious. So strikingly at odds with Zionis* vitriol, failure to listen and no clarity of conversation.

90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street.

In excellent company.

The banner in #1 was hand printed by the incredibly talented @jo_jones213. Fascinating to hear the process. Such clarity: the print and the message.

History has repeated itself, making it so important that we know our history and our abilities to resist fascism.

Do one thing today that isn't about you.

For the animals, for the community, for a charity, for a friend.

Things that don't require money, but do require humanity.

Every act of care makes us stronger.

Hot on the heels of Rob's arrest earlier today in Liverpool for holding a sign, @defendourjuries have released this video.

Join us by the Echo arena in Liverpool at 1pm tomorrow as more citizens of good conscience get arrested to stand up against the government working for Israel

LIFT THE BAN

@coinstreet_se1 the added insult to the brutality and bereavement of destruction will be the time the site is closed.

How would you feel if someone bulldozed your family home?

A) this is a rare gem in Central London with so many artists' lives depending on it.

B) A beautiful space for local people and visitors alike

C) A peaceful escape from city life

This is a terrible mistake that will haunt you. by @vcpsychdoc

Do visit @gabrielswharfta this week if you can.

Decades the home to a beautiful community of artists

Evicted for corporate greed

Shame on @coinstreet_se1
Shame on @sadiq for your silence

Thanks to @hartexgram for all my brilliant goodies!!

Super pigeon was on the way back to Waterloo. Hoping he can get folk to see sense and appreciate the uniqueness of the Wharf versus corporate bland branding.

Some of the background from thehistoryoflondon.co.uk - 'Between the late 18th and early 19th centuries Gabriel’s Wharf was a timber yard, handed down through the Gabriel family. Throughout the 19th century it was a rather successful business and one owner, Sir Thomas Gabriel, was Lord Mayor of London in 1866-7. His great-great-great nephew is a favourite musician of mine, Peter Gabriel. The timber yard closed in 1919, and the site went through various commercial uses thereafter.' by @vcpsychdoc

Legends of political t-shirts @katharinehamnett @sportsbanger in conversation with @steffyotka from @i_d today @magculture.

Has there ever been a time in the last 40 years when I have t-shirts in my collection I can't wear due to Z*ism legislation? Seems that time is now. taken in MagCulture by @vcpsychdoc

My apologies to anyone I have seen in person this week. I want to let people know, so you can make appropriate checks.

I am fine, but my worry is re: passing COVID on.

I still test when I am meeting in a small space around potentially immunocompromised folk. I was negative Friday morning, before meeting a friend with throat cancer. Thankfully, I still wore a mask.

My throat has never been 100% since first COVID.
Hot flushes are normal in my life, as is fatigue. So today was no different. My temperature is in the normal range.

I think I was last positive 3 years ago. So, I was really shocked to test positive today. Grateful I did, before more people were exposed.

Apologies again. Most pharmacies still stock tests. taken in London, United Kingdom by @vcpsychdoc

Blessed to be present to see these legends @freethefilton25 be reunited with their loved ones.

I am so grateful to you all & so happy for you.

I haven't smiled like I did today, for a long time!!

"Say it clear and say it loud, Filton 25 you make us proud".

Also the incredible highlight of getting to speak to @freeumerkhalid on the phone whilst I was there. He has the best friends !!!!

Let us build on hope & never back down, where we are still needed. taken in Central Criminal Court (The Old Bailey) by @vcpsychdoc
