My memory of 2024 is basically the obscenely wealthy & powerful attacking poor people for being poor , blaming Palestinians for getting killed, pretending extreme flooding & fires are normal & most of the world’s media applauding their ever greater depths of depravity .

What Reeves is saying is beautiful because its true. We have somehow talked ourselves into a corner where taxation of the rich is perceived as impossible, whilst, simultaneously, we are increasingly transferring all of societies resources to those untaxable people. 5/8

The plight of the small press, appealing for support in the face of poor sales, is often framed as a financial issue. While there is, of course, some truth in this, it's never simply a matter of money, and money is rarely the most important matter. A 🧵

Fantastic article about how #Dracula is returning to Derby. Read it, and if you're interested in getting involved in our events and plans, sign up for updates on the @DerbyUni web page about Dracula.
I really enjoyed writing this feature for @GdnSaturday on the Dracula Returns to Derby project and the fascinating evolution on stage and screen of such an iconic character. theguardian.com/stage/articl…

Great to finally visit @houseofholesuk this afternoon discussing all things Dracula
#DraculaReturnstoDerby #dracula #bramstoker #bramstokersdracula #classichorror #horrorfilm #horrornovel #hamiltondeane
Excited about this tomorrow!
First up, did you know Dracula is returning to Derby? @eine will discuss how the charming ‘Derby Dracula’ found its way to Hollywood and then conquered the world. This event has sold out, however, we have a waiting list, so get in touch if you’d like to add your name to that.

Hi Twitter, trying to find a new living situation for myself. I'm looking for a room/flatshare in North/East/South London that can feel like a home for a year or so while I get the money together for a deposit. Can anyone help? DM or comment if so. Pls feel free to share.
