Just watch it. All of it.
You have a 100% success rate on SURVIVING. How’s the THRIVING going? Let’s talk about it. THRIVING, NOT JUST SURVIVING: Building Confidence and Emotional Stamina FRIDAY 19th January 6pm - 9pm GMT / 10am - 1pm PST tickets eventbrite.com/e/thriving-not…
The Good Week Jar - my favourite selfcare ritual. Each post it has at least one good thing that happened that week - a bit of good news, a catch up with a friend, some personal or professional victory. So, each week I have to acknowledge whatever good things happened. 😉🙌🏼🥰
Here’s a constructive way to start 2024: I'm running two of my courses in one interactive session - Confidence Surgery and Building Emotional Stamina. FRIDAY 19th January UK: 6pm - 9pm PST: 10am-1pm TICKETS (very affordable) eventbrite.com/e/thriving-not… ThankYou 🥰 @BreakingLens
Thank you @NFTSFilmTV and @sashaorev for a fantastic course on how to write and direct a short film. It was so interesting and I met other lovely writers and directors. Actually wrote a whole first draft, so much fun! Keep on writing! Let's go! ❤️
Really inspired by @sashaorev's talk on self confidence today. The metaphor of the bird on a branch especially resonated with me: don't trust the branch not to break - trust that you can fly if it does 🐦

You get me I know you do and thank you 💜
@clairebubblepop Well said Claire. So many people think it can never happen to them. It can and it does and we need to hold together rather than be forced apart by divisive rhetoric from spivs.
If you’re wondering? I had four kids at the time, they were 3yr, 5yr, 6yr and 15yr. Yeah it was a hard time. People forget the kids are going through it as much as me. They didn’t ask for any of it.
Just read a thread where there was zero compassion from some. Look if you’ve had a good life, I’m happy for you but we’re not all that lucky.
I’m gonna explain one more time. For those who say people on benefits are scroungers. My story. I had a partner, we had a beautiful family, we had a good life, he died. Our youngest was 3yr, I couldn’t afford childcare, we were grieving, I was forced onto benefits. Not asking for…

On Saturday at the March for Palestine I led the crowd to sing “Yma o hyd” (“still here” in Cymraeg) and “Sumud” (“steadfast perseverance” in Palestinian) together And above those beautiful voices I sang this poem by Ukranian-Jewish-Puerto Rican poet Aurora Levins Morales:
Read my essay in full here charlottechurch.co.uk
I was so delighted to work with Côr Cochion, the socialist choir first formed in Cardiff during the miners’ strikes in the 80s Their director, Wendy Lewis (incidentally one of many Jewish people who is opposed to the Israeli occupation), is a wonderful genius of community action
I do not support Hamas and condemn them for the attack on October 7th. There were undoubtedly war crimes committed, appalling acts, including the massacre of innocent civilians and hostage-taking My heart goes out to the victims of that attack, the hostages, and their families.
I hope that my words make it clear that I have deep compassion for what Jewish people all over the world are experiencing right now, due to the rise of genuine antisemitism. 🧵 8/12
I am not, and have never been, and will never be an antisemite. I hold the Jewish people in my life very dearly, and have always kept great reverence for Judaism and Jewish culture, since travelling around Israel and Palestine as a teenager 🧵 7/12
This included a discussion as to whether or not I should be arrested for my activism My safety and the safety of my family has been threatened by some pretty scary people, emboldened by the rhetoric of frontline politicians, as well as cravenly irresponsible coverage 🧵 6/12
My attempts to protest the atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank, and the West’s complicity in them, have been ridiculed by powerful men in the media in conversations that I have not been asked to contribute to 🧵 5/12
Since footage was shared online of a Sing For Palestine event I took part in to raise money for @MECAForPeace, I’ve been continuously dragged in the press and on social media as an antisemite (which I am not) and need to respond to those accusations fully 🧵 4/12
Some of those accounts saying often violent, misogynistic and racist things, had phrases like “whites will not be replaced” on their profiles, and images of iron eagles as banners. And I’m the extremist?! 🧵 3/12
This weekend I participated in the 10th national March for Palestine in London in solidarity with our siblings in Palestine, as well as those at home, and for doing so I was called all manner of ungodly things online 🧵 2/12
I wish I didn’t have to write this I am an artist, not a politician, and would rather speak through creative action than explanatory text But I find that for several reasons, I must respond to accusations and smears made against me these last couple of weeks 🧵 1/12
