Towards the end of my Dad's last prison sentence, I ended up taking on caring responsibilities for my little sister. They recently shared this poem they wrote about that time and have given me permission to share it here. Honestly don't think I'll get over this - so touched 🥺.

2022 has taught me some difficult but necessary lessons around how I talk to and view myself, boundaries(!!!!) and the importance of slowing down. Going to Do My Best to be better to myself in 2023 and make more time for joy and quiet.

Over Christmas, a woman died in HMP Eastwood Park. The third to take their life in under 6 months. Rest in power 🖤 Some of our best people are already on the other side with you. Beyond rage and beyond despair we have no option but to keep fighting the state. Fuck HMP 🖤

🎶 ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAAAAASS IS a functioning democracy where the Government shows compassion instead of scapegoating people seeking safety in the UK, and doesn't try to rip up everyone's rights and freedoms to hide from accountability for its unlawful actions 🎶

A deeply concerning decision. It is quite obviously not a criminal offence to ask "who elected him" of a new monarch.

Yesterday, I was charged with breach of the Public Order Act for my objection in #Oxford in September to the proclamation of Charles Windsor as king (the police waited 3 months before charging me). I will be in court on 31st January to plead Not Guilty. #DefendDissent #NotMyKing

A new bill going through the British Parliament could impose unprecedented restrictions on the right to protest in England and Wales. I wrote about the measures that civil rights advocates are calling "draconian" and what they mean for British democracy:

How Britain Is Waging War Against Climate Protesters
Critics say that the Public Order Bill, if approved, could upend the right to protest in England and Wales.

@UniteAtShelter
With at least £13 million in reserves, significantly more than the reserves target of £8.9 million, Shelter can more than afford to pay its staff a decent wage. Reserves are saved for a rainy day. But Shelter staff cannot be any clearer that it’s currently pouring ��
