Benefit cuts, blaming the “work-shy”, clueless politicians... sound familiar? 👉🙂👈
If you’re into comics that make you laugh and question everything, come and see our exhibition – opening 18th July!

Big Flame singles and minilp
Settling in for a an afternoon of cubist pop. Well, I say afternoon, total recordings are probably 40 minutes tops. #bigflame.
Also; I should go in the 7” singles box more often, full of gems from my youth.

Received this bIG*fLAME beauty from @precrecs.bsky.social today. Rumour has it there will be a few vinyl copies on sale at this Sunday's MCR Merch Market. They'll be in The Ritz.
I believe The Wilde Club was something to do with @davehaslam.bsky.social ?

A picture of Aaron, Belinda (Library Manager), and some of our volunteers in the NALGO Room, talking about the exhibition. The caption reads: "Aaron from M3 Industries popped in to work on our 3D design and build!"
Hear from our group! A speech bubble which says, "“It’s a really fascinating moment to be involved in the project. As someone that loves tottering around exhibitions wherever I find them, actually seeing the cogs turn to create them and how varied the work is really gives me a new respect for them!”, attributed to volunteer, Ley.
A huge thanks as always to our funders @heritagefunduk.bsky.social for making this work possible. Stay tuned for exhibition updates!!

A title slide showing a group of people sat around a table, chatting and smiling with brown archive boxes. The caption reads 'Big Flame: Session 12'.
🌷 "I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept." - Angela Davis 🌷
The above quote was referenced powerfully in Saturday's Big Flame session! This one was a two-parter!

A young person with short brown hair and a gold hoop earring stands in front of a piece of flipchart which says “engagement” in the centre. On it, they are writing ideas according to a prompt sheet. There is a red thought bubble positioned over their head.
Yeliz, a woman with brown hair clipped back and a blue shirt on, holds a magazine open as she talks to the group.
Lisa, a woman with long, wavy blonde hair and glasses, holds a piece of paper that says ‘memory wall’ and has lots of photos on it, and the caption says “Lisa shows us the Teenage Bedroom exhibition!”
It was a jam-packed day filled with discussion, sharing ideas, and as always, good snacks!
We can’t wait to see how our exhibition ideas come to life… 🖼️

A document entitled “40 excuses that sympathetic/lefty/ “anti-sexist” men use to avoid responsibility for doing anything about sexism (taken from an antisexist men’s newsletter)

This book about #BigFlame won’t sell itself, so I’m a (temporary) marketeer. Here’s something about a lovely meeting we did at #CaracolBooks in #Norwich — among those of 25 to 75 years of age, the flame still burns labourhub.org.uk/2025/01/20/t... Thanks, #LabourHub
