Clive, my friend, retired colleague and overall ultra-nice guy is walking from his current residence near Zurich to Plymouth where he was born.

During this 1400+ km trip he is raising money for the Memory Matters Foundation. This foundation raises awareness, provides vital dementia services, and supports families facing dementia. 🧠

He is on his 11th day and crossed the border to France two days ago. In case you see a bloke with silver hair near Besançon, treat him well and send him my regards.

In case you are willing and able to contribute to this good cause, you could send Clive a donation and good spirits via the below link.

The Green Party of England and Wales have booted another TERF, risking another £90,000 loss in court for discrimination against someone for a legally protected belief.

"Leader of Green group claims party ban"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2epgz9x182o
[CW: Transphobia, obviously]

I've said it before, but it's always good to say it again. The Green Party are the only party who have the guts to actually kick TERFs out of their party, even in the face of unjust legal consequences.

It is a good day to donate to the Green Party: https://donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk

And they're currently the third biggest party in the UK by number of members, so it's also a good day to join the party, from only 50p per month: https://join.greenparty.org.uk

WIST Quotations Has Moved!Nov 19

A quotation from Vaclav Havel

Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously headed for early success, but, rather, an ability to work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed. The more unpropitious the situation in which we demonstrate hope, the deeper that hope is. Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

Václav Havel (1936-2011) Czech playwright, essayist, dissident, politician
Disturbing the Peace: A Conversation with Karel Hvížďala, ch. 5 “The Politics of Hope” (1986) [tr. Wilson (1990)]

If you are a member and shop at the Coop anywhere in the UK you can select and support projects within 15 miles of your address - it really does make a difference.

A quotation from C. C. Colton

If a cause be good, the most violent attack of its enemies will not injure it so much as an injudicious defense of it by its friends.

Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 1, § 475 (1820)

Just learned that when the Green Party of England and Wales kicked a TERF out of their party (because they are the only political party who's actually had the guts to do that), the TERF took the Green Party to court over it because being a TERF is protected under the Equality Act (like religion), and the Green Party had to pay out £90,000 when they lost.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2dgd9d9503o

I would 10000000% pay £90,000 to get a TERF out of my political party.

Apropos of nothing, here is the page for donating to the Green Party of England and Wales without having to join: https://donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk/
