The responses to the question of ‘personal philosophical evolution in 7 steps’ demonstrate some interesting absences. NOT. ONE. WOMAN. None. People, we are in 2025. At least try to disguise the misogyny. (Latin American, African & global majority philosophers also absent).

I think the biggest indicator of the fact that this wasn't a "conflict" or a "war" or literally anything you can "both sides" is: no part of Israel looks like this

From Rome to Milan, Bologna to Genoa, Livorno to Naples, Turin to Florence, Bari to Palermo, and over 60 more cities across Italy — workers are massively rising in solidarity with Palestine, demanding an immediate end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. This is historic 🇮🇹🇵🇸

Huge congratulations to @IanHumphWriter . Well deserved!

It has been 8 years since the Grenfell Tower fire 72 people were killed because of greed & dishonesty but not a single arrest has been made. 8 years on, people are still living in unsafe buildings. We will never forget

The Little Review – the pocket magazine for anyone interested in poetry – is now OPEN for submissions for Issue 2. Send in flinching, compromising poems & subjective, irresponsible criticism.

My call for an independent inquiry into the UK's role in Gaza has passed its 1st reading in Parliament. We will establish the truth over the UK’s complicity in genocide - and we will bring about justice for the Palestinian people.

Congratulations to Mimi Khalvati!!!!!!!!

A friend sent me this photo that he took this morning on the Victoria line train London (southbound). It is a poster of my poem “Daughter” on the subway. It is an official Transport for London poster, too.

This photo should be on the front page of every major British newspaper. But it won’t be — because, like the political class, they’re complicit. It’s their genocide too.
