Genius parallel 💀💀🤣
Thread: When it emerged that Jimmy Savile was a prolific rapist and sex offender I was working for a charity which had a cafe named for him. The charity very quickly moved to rename the cafe. There wasn't a single complaint. #BLM #BlackLivesMatter #colston
So I was trying to find a website to turn an Mp3 of me telling a story into text so I could use it as a script to make a podcast and the website produced an experimental piece of poetry, inspired (but certainly not constrained) by the story 🎷💢💎🌚🌈❔

Love that '160 prominent economists' (@Independent) and the nation's fave anarchist are united in seeing the sense of Corbyn's revitalisation of our society '...now might be a good time for somebody functional to grab the wheel.' Alan Moore momentumnorthants.org.uk/ala… @leahmoore
