yesterday i 'marched' (i'd call it a crawl) at the #DurhamMinersGala with the #TeessideRadicalBookfairCollective.
there was a lot of booing, one guy shouted 'EDL' and did a nazi salute. the police hassled the #FreePalestine block, which has not happened before & shows their boldness despite the increased turn-out of people. then a confused bigot pulled my banner from behind a barrier, & started to provoke me into a fight, shouting at me.
i felt very uneasy, and uncomfortable walking down ppl booing. i avoided eye contact with the spectators behind the barriers as i seemed to be the only #trans person in the march carrying the #pride :better_pride:, and #non-binary :flag_nb: flag. there was no #lgbtq+ 🏳️‍🌈 presence anywhere that i saw, i only saw one other pride flag on the festival ground.
#corbyn spoke after the march but failed to announce a new party to his electoralist socialist followers. i thought he gave a weak speech with no rallying cry or fiery call-to-action.
#AlanMardghum, the secretary of the #DMA (durham miners association), called the leader of the council, run by the far-right reform party, a 'keyboard warrior' and invited him to say the personal insults and lies he spouts online to his face.
for the first time ever at the gala the #Palestinian embassador gave a speech.

#GifsArtidote: #educate people around you on the lies the state and #reform are spouting. #organise your community #resist through direct action, #sabotage & #boycotts.

next year there should be a lgbtq+ block in the march!

☆ edit: there apparently was an lgbtq block according to the bbc so perhaps they're lying as they lie about most other things. i didn't see 'm, but i was at the back.

Good morning world! Here's your #GifsArtidote breakfast:

"#Anarchism is the idea that everyone is entitled to complete self-determination. No law, government, or decision-making process is more important than the needs and desires of actual human beings. People should be free to shape their relations to their mutual satisfaction, and to stand up for themselves as they see fit".

CrimethInc.Become an Anarchist or Forever Hold Your PeaceNeither courts nor laws will suffice to halt the descent into autocracy. Massive numbers of people will have to take direct action on their own initiative—in other words, to become anarchists.
