"i know you’re afraid of blood so we’ll write it with water the water the wounded man asked for when he could no longer swallow and just looked at it water that seeps through a shelled-out roof water that can replace tears" WHAT WAR IS Ostap Slyvynsky Full poem: snyder.substack.com/p/what-war-is

Can't tell the real intentions in the choice of this music being performed at The White House but it feels like a powerful statement to me ...

I've had these words running through my head today "Just what the truth is I don't know anymore" realised it was from Nights in White Satin and a great excuse to share one of my favourite songs: youtu.be/p6xMOTjLIaY?...

A little bit of Blue Sky in my part of the world. Almost 3 years ago Lismore and surroundings were devastated by floods and some of the saddest photos were of the books trashed in Lismore Library

www.theguardian.com/books/2024/d... #Maigret adaptation? In English. Mon Dieu! Apparently they’re remaking Maigret for the modern era. I’m not sure what to make of that, some of the stories do transcend to today I suppose but others clearly belong in the 1930s, 40s and 50s.

The concept Nigel Farage is incapable of grasping is human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. I’ll fight that to my last breath

Do proud Brits really want other countries’ billionaires playing games or settling scores with our democracy? Time to close the gaps in our political funding rules that make it possible.
