TERFS HATE WHALES
You may remember I painted the below image last year and auctioned the original on ebay to raise money for the anti-whale hunting charity Sea Shepherd UK. It was inspired by the actual signs Japanese whalers hold up while they’re being photographed poaching whales in the South Atlantic. But there was a problem; that charity auction was sabotaged, deliberately, and not by a pro-whaler, but by an anti-trans activist who was furious I didn’t want to talk to him about his horrible anti-trans opinions anymore. He put in the highest bid, then refused to pay, all so he could write a negative review, which is deleted by ebay anyway if a bidder doesn’t pay so the whole exercise was pointless and hurt nobody except a few sea creatures. This confused me. What on earth did anti-trans activists have against whales? Do terfs hate whales now too? But then I realised: it’s because the ocean is a gender-neutral toilet, and they’re furious about it. So I decided to do another whale painting (above), and I’ll be auctioning this one off for the UK trans charity Sparkle, as well a re-auctioning the first painting for Sea Shepherd UK. I’m running both auctions on ebay now. 100% of the final selling price goes towards each charity. Links: The Ocean Is A Gender-Neutral Toilet “I’m Okay With This” I’m also doing the gender-neutral toilet image as a limited-edition print with 50% of proceeds going to Sparkle.
PINKWASHING
Surprisingly honest sign outside Sainsbury’s. The only thing a corporation can ever proudly support is their ability to make profit. To them, social issues are merely PR opportunities to drive sales and enrich investors. Particularly fucking annoying about the original sign is the tie-in with Sainsbury’s 150 year anniversary, making it look like they’ve been supporting LGBT+ rights for 150 years.
DEFUND THE DAILY MAIL
I started adding these stickers to the products of companies who help fund racist propaganda by advertising in the Daily Mail. If you’d like to get involved, you can download & print your own stickers or order pre-printed stickers here. The Daily Mail is one of the most vicious and dangerous purveyors of racist propaganda in the UK, and that danger spreads globally through its website. But like the rest of the media, the Mail’s ability to churn out racial hatred, misogyny and anti-LGBT bigotry is only made possible by the support of its advertisers.

MINI DAILY MAIL GIVEAWAY
Get a copy here: www.minidailymail.co.uk. I’ve been handing out these hand-drawn miniature Daily Mail newspapers on the streets of Liverpool. The project was inspired by the departure of Paul Dacre as editor of the Mail, a toxic influence on British life for 26 years. The Daily Mail is without doubt one of the most racist, sexist and homophobic far-right publications on the market, beaten only by the BNP annual newsletter.
I MADE A HORRID LITTLE NEWSPAPER
