I'm very grateful to Deirdre and the Irish Examiner for giving me the chance to offer a voice for rural Ireland that reflects the diversity and vibrancy of our communities. It is long past time to dismiss the reductive idea that rural Ireland can be reduced to two industries. #Spéirgorm

“Every child killed is the greatest war crime in the world. There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it, and no policy can force me to selectively condemn war crimes against children. That children are killed by bombs in the 21st century is humanity's greatest defeat.”

Today is David Graeber's birthday. He'd have been 65 years old today. His ideas are still here and his message is more important than ever before which must remind us that a better world is possible.

“The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently,”

Shame on @rteone.rte.ie for allowing Helen McEntee to cast a shameful attack on Catherine Connolly, especially as she wasn't there to defend herself. When will they learn that people hate dirty politics and smear tactics.

One of David Graeber's most interesting pieces was from 2013 called - 'A practical utopians guide to the coming collapse.' Here is an extract.

"What would happen if we stopped acting as if the primordial
form of work is laboring at a production line, or wheat field,
or iron foundry, or even in an office cubicle, and instead
started from a mother, a teacher, or a caregiver?
.
We might be forced to conclude that the real business of
human life is not contributing toward something called the
economy but the fact that we are all, and have always been,
projects of mutual creation."
.

‘Ragout’ is French, ‘ragù’ Italian, and this meat sauce is certainly inspired by the Sicilian combination of sweet lamb, dried wild mint and crushed chilli flakes, though I’ve added an Anglo note with...

Every Gujarati African I have ever met identifies as African first, and probably Indian second but possibly not Indian at all. Indians certainly consider us African, to a point where more traditional Indians will not intermarry with us, even if they are ethnically and religiously identical.

He said this in 2018, but this is exactly what is happening in the UK with the Labour Government and elsewhere

"Fascism is now doing well
because the 'mainstream'
center-left completely exclude
any real left-wing policies
embracing instead watered
down versions of right-wing
positions all while having no
problem with the corruption
in the system."

3 months ago, I wrote this about centrist parties aping the far right, and how it's not just immoral, but suicidal. This is not secret knowledge. It's the most reliable effect in world politics. It's watching 40 guys getting killed by the same gorilla, one by one, and stepping up to take your turn.

You accept the far right’s entirely false premise that immigrants increase crime, that the housing crisis is due to migrants rather than your own bad policies, or that foreigners are swamping the health service, rather than holding it up with their bare hands in the face of your own drastic underfunding of the system.

And you become less popular. You, the sensible moderate, continue to slide in the polls against the very parties whose policies you were trying to steal.

A sizeable number of your own base are appalled, and you have failed to impress a single racist.

Because everywhere, from France to Germany to the Netherlands to the UK, as with Fanta and its supermarket imitators, it turns out people prefer the original to the copy.

Just to say, if like me your feed is alot of US politics to the exclusion of UK/Ireland accounts, then reposting content you like - even if it's just the picture of a beach - rather than just liking it, really works. My feed has improved (along with some judicious muting) immeasurably.

Spinach, Avocado and Pumpkin Seed Salad

This is one of my favourite salads: superb with salmon; wonderful alone. If you don't have any pumpkin oil, simply replace both pumpkin and groundnut oils with good extra virgin olive oil.

Who raised you?

A poem that reads:
If your mother raised you right
You’d never have the nerve
To arrest some other mother
In broad daylight
For protesting the murder
Of other mothers’ children
If your mother raised you right
You’d have picked a side
Not genocide
You’d have stepped back
From the border
Of just following orders
And made a stand
And let them sit
The mothers
Protesting murder
But cold and raw
Is the eye of the law
Deaf its ear
But still we hear
The cries of other mothers’ kids
Do you?
Or is this really how
Your mother
Raised you?

I don't want no "let the baby cry" people around me. All that baby wants most of the time is a heartbeat so they can regulate and recenter. It's the cruelest first lesson to teach a baby that no one will come no matter how hard you cry. Traumatizing babies and being okay with it ain't for me.

Quick reminder that your children don’t have to read the books you loved as children. There are many brilliant and much less damaging modern children’s stories now than ever before. Yes, they will cope without Enid Blyton. I managed.
