It is the birthday of the musician who wrote,
“I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think a pessimist is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.”
Canadian singer-songwriter and poet Leonard Cohen was born on this day in 1934.

I ended up doing an extra talk at the #HowTheLightGetsIn festival this weekend because a speaker literally had to go and reduce the risk of nuclear war #BestExcuseEver
Laugh or cry? ENORMOUS queue to hear me talk about my novel TIME/LIFE at Hay #howthelightgetsin. And not one single copy of the book for sale in the festival bookshop. I’m not just crying. I’m crying a river #timelife #writerslife

Looking forward to speaking at #HowTheLightGetsIn next month; the conversation emerges from *Crossings: Migrant Knowledges, Migrant Forms* eds. Mukherji, Williams, and myself:
I'm going to Hay but at the other #HowTheLightGetsIn festival. Perhaps catch up with you somewhere...
I finished #HowtheLightGetsIn yesterday for my 6th read of the year. I initially really enjoyed it but honestly it felt like propaganda at the end of the book. 2.25/5 #BookSky
I’m looking at tickets for HowTheLightGetsIn.
Has anyone been?
I’d love to understand how family friendly it is!

HEADLINE SPEAKERS ANNOUNCED! THE BIG IDEAS MUSIC & PERFORMANCE ACCOMMODATION TRAILER INFO TICKETS HOWTHELIGHTGETSIN JEREMY CORBYN JEREMY CORBY FORMER LEADER OF THE LAB DGER PENROSE NOBEL LAUREATE JORDAN STEPHE ARTIST AND MENTAL HEALTH "Democracy is not just about voting every few years; it's about people having real control over their lives." Jeremy Corbyn is a British politician and current independent MP who served as the Labour party's leader from 2015 to 2020. Representing the constituency of Islington North since 1983, he was a vocal backbencher with a reputation of voting against his party until he was elected leader with the largest party membership for a generation. He contested the 2017 general election and won 40% of the vote, the largest Labour share since 2001. Since he has been expelled from the Labour party, Jeremy has gone on to win his Islington seat as an independent. His views place him firmly on the progressive left where he is staunchly anti- war, anti-austerity, pro nationalisation and pro-Palestine.

Two at a time cabled sleeves on a long circular needle. There’s one tiny mistake on one of the 6-stitch cables and frankly, I don’t give a damn
I’m making progress on my TAAT cabled sleeves but I just had to ladder down and fix a 6-stitch cable and I noticed another mistake on another one, and you know what? That cable is going to be on the underside of a sleeve and I just… don’t care 🤷🏼♀️ 🧶#happyaccident #howthelightgetsin

Audience in a tent listening to a talk on Israel and the Gaza Genocide, with a steward watching from just outside, her elbow against a billboard, and a man listening in, outside the tent.
Blue cloudy skies above a sunny festival site with tents, flags, and several people ambling across the grass.
Screen of a talk entitled 'The New Overlords' with speakers Ali Allawi, Clarie Provost, Armen Sarkissian, hosted by Roger Hearing. Lots of soud equipment in the background.
Stage with lighting, plants, and sound equipment on it, as well as 4 speakers with a large 'iai' logo against a black backdrop
Only 1 day @ #HowTheLightGetsIn this year, my 1st since #COVID. Perhaps it's middle-age cynicism, other knowledges, deep anger at #Capitalism & our ongoing complicity in it, but this once refreshing festival now feels too commercial, smug, sanitised, expensive, stripped of all radical ideas & action
Planning to go this year - I missed the last few due to big life stuff, but it's in my calendar for this year #HowTheLightGetsIn
