A beautiful tribute to Anas. Pease read & share. Uplift the truth-tellers in Irish media. We need them.
"Many Western journalists do not regard Palestinian journalists as colleagues and that’s why those reporting from Gaza can be killed by Israel with impunity."
Thank you @barrymalone.bsky.social

Even in years when August weather has been beautiful I've always felt that its mornings, particularly towards the second half of the month, have a distinctly autumny feel...those fresh transitional vibes in the air...
And here's a song I wrote as a nod to the #Cailleach, also known less commonly as Beira. A song about darkness and light as two sides of the one coin, a tribute to the misunderstood Hag of Winter. Filmed on a January day with cold fingers and cold vocal cords! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBjB...
Beannachtaí Imbolc, Lá Fhéile Bríde shona daoibh. The start of spring in the Celtic year, when the #Cailleach, goddess of winter, melts into #Brigid, goddess of light. I haven't been active on #Substack lately but I wrote this little piece to mark it last year 🐍 sadhbhosullivan.substack.com/p/imbolc

Do you (or someone you know) live in #Kildare or surrounding counties & have something to say about your relationship with your voice & how it shapes your identity & impacts upon your daily life? We would love to hear from you!

Driver alone in a car taking up huge space next to a packed city bus and tight pedestrian and bike space all filled with people complains “Damn those bike paths and bus lanes taking up all the space.”
This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.
"Unfortunately, actions have been few and far between. In an effort to keep it this way, Israel acts as a diplomatic bully, never quite addressing the substance of its policies or engaging with arguments over the factual record." www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2024...
What the f*** did I just read 😂 Terrible piece of journalism, if you could even call it that!
No words left, except rest in peace and in power, Khaled Nabhan, grandfather to so many. I'm sorry this world failed you and your beloved Reem, the soul of your soul. #soulofmysoul #freepalestine www.youtube.com/shorts/EycYm...
I only came across it recently. Mad!
I have a #Patreon which I often forget to mention! Latest post is a short song inspired by the concept of Active Hope. "If we hold in mind the best that could happen as well as the worst, what could we do to make better scenarios more likely and worse ones less so?" #JoannaMacy patreon.com/sivemusic
100f***ing percent! Also...the lyrics of Neighbourhood Bully? WTF?
