A few thoughts on the way home from @cantkillthespirit.bsky.social - a wonderful play I saw today about a Greenham woman whose activist spirit is reawakened in the climate movement 40 years on. One more performance tomorrow if you’re anywhere near Brighton #brightonfringe #greenhamcommon #protest

Last call for tonight’s essential webinar to hear about the past & present legacy of British nuclear colonialism on Western Shoshone tribal land #nukesky from-bombs-to-data-centres.eventbrite.co.uk

After reading my early '80s Ladybird book version at bedtime last night we've been on a Little Mermaid extravaganza! Watched today: the 2023 live action version, a 1970s Readers Digest cartoon (narrated by no less than Dr Kildare!) and best of the bunch - the trippy 1968 Soviet animation #filmsky

I've recorded my latest video book report, this one on my mid-1960s vintage charity shop gem, 'The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Atomic Radiation'. Full thing will be up later on this evening but here's a sneaky peak... #nukesky

Wanted to share this unbroadcast clip from my film of the inimitable Pete Wilkinson discussing (in trademark style 😄) how @greenpeace.org founder David McTaggart plucked this 'ornery sonofabitch' from a Somerset post office to help start @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social in the late 1970s. RIP Pete 🕊
