- Reposted by Talis Kimberley🇪🇺We need a UK Digital Sovereignty Strategy! Our over-reliance on foreign tech giants is a huge risk to our security and resilience when faced with Donald Trump’s ever increasing belligerence. Companies like Palantir have no place in our critical digital infrastructure.

- Clearing out the freezer, some very vintage courgettes had created this unexpected beauty. And we need beauty, and laughter, and art and music and every kind of solace. What have you found?
- Morning. Woke up, looked at socmed, started crying. Turned up the volume on the Mamdani 'A woo woo woo' vid. Crying with laughter. Bless the man. Decent men exist too, thank gods. And I'm fortunate to know some IRL. So, anyway. If you can make someone laugh or smile today, do it.
- Reposted by Talis Kimberley🇪🇺Labour is briefing that they know they won't win the Gorton and Denton by election. The Greens are favourites and are the only party that can stop Reform. Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.
- Reposted by Talis Kimberley🇪🇺Are you sufficiently concerned about Palantir and Peter Thiel? Because he wasn't just in Epstein's life or files. He's in yours, and your files are with him thanks to the UK government.
- Reposted by Talis Kimberley🇪🇺Zack Polanski, "Palantir.. £240 million contract last month" "That was lobbied by Global Counsel which is Peter Mandelson's lobbying group" "The idea that a defence company from the US has its fingerprints all over our healthcare system, alongside Peter Mandelson"

- Today included lots of very tiring, very soggy driving errands. I really should've got out of wet socks & boots sooner. Am now crocheting & sewing with some vintage Time Team (UK archaeology show) & wondering if it's too early for early PJs & pushing the rest of what I meant to do, off to tomorrow.
- Reposted by Talis Kimberley🇪🇺this weekend i visited a beloved local cafe/record store and they had a bathroom labeled "Gay Bathroom". when we complimented the sign the barista said sometimes shitty people ask if there's a different bathroom they can use, so they have a second one in the other room labeled "Super Gay Bathroom"
- Reposted by Talis Kimberley🇪🇺Today is Candlemas If you have not cleared all your Christmas decorations by today, a demon hiding behind them will cause dire mischief in your house for the rest of the year. See my popular post on this: emptycity.substack.com/p/twelfth-ni...
- "Don't you think opposing genocide is divisive?" Absolutely: it divides those of us who believe genocide (mass murder, torture, rape, starvation, & the obliteration of peoples' lives) IS MORALLY & PHYSICALLY A BAD THING, from those who don't. WE are united across age, background, faith & language.
- Goddess Bridget, Sainted Bride Hear my prayer this Imbolc-tide As my garden you pass through Bless me, if it pleases you. My scarf's upon the apple tree: Goddess, lay your grace on me. #poetry #bardwork #Imbolc #RitualInTheRain

- Feeling it necessary to inflict Finbarr's brilliant pun on the rest of you.
- Reposted by Talis Kimberley🇪🇺Two people have been abducted from Scotland in the middle of the night by the US military. Despite an order from our highest court that they be kept here. The Scottish Government must show that actions have consequences by evicting American troops from their base at publicly-owned Prestwick Airport
- Reposted by Talis Kimberley🇪🇺Looking forward to chairing this event in Manchester tonight with @zackpolanski.bsky.social and Salma Yaqoob. Limited tickets! actionnetwork.org/events/make-...
- Reposted by Talis Kimberley🇪🇺For those outside the UK who may not have seen, we had a reckoning on media regulation 15 years ago, and the media won a decisive victory against meaningful regulation. TL;DR, they were caught hacking the phone of a murdered child, there was an enquiry, but they avoided all the recommendations…
- #Minnesota #MattMoberg #interfaith #protestsong #folk #songwriter I wept to read the Timberwolves' Chaplain, Matt Moberg's, statement today. Then I rewrote it into song-shape, to be SUNG (I hope to have tune in a day or 2). If of use to my friends in the US or beyond, with all love please use it 1/5
