An incredible cover by Norwegian Jørgen Dahl Moe. Right down to the very last beautiful note. I think Bruce Springsteen would approve 100%. Hope he has heard this. I keep playing over and over. Enjoy!

I feel this 😕
"Lately, it has become impossible not to notice how convincing
 people have become at looking fine. They laugh at the right
 moments, keep their replies light, post polished fragments of their
 lives, and move through the world with the kind of calm that
 makes suffering easy to miss. But if you stay long enough, if the
 conversation slips beneath the surface and the usual performance
 falls away, something far more painful begins to show itself.
 Beneath the pleasant expressions and carefully managed images
 are people carrying exhaustion so deep it has settled into their
 bones, fear they do not know how to name, grief they have taught
 themselves to swallow, and a quiet desperation that follows them
 through each ordinary day. This is a generation learning how to
 function while slowly coming apart, a generation trained to appear
 well while privately fighting not to collapse, and there is something
 chilling about how normal it has all become. So many are not truly
 living, only enduring, keeping themselves presentable while pain
 grows heavier in silence, and when you finally see it clearly, what
 unsettles you most is not that so many are suffering, but that they
 have become so skilled at making their suffering look like strength."
 -Steve De'lano Garcia

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

I think of this quote all the time.
“When someone works for less pay than she can live on - when, for example, she goes hungry so that you can eat more cheaply and conveniently - then she has made a great sacrifice for you, she has made you a gift of some part of her abilities, her health, and her life. The 'working poor,' as they are approvingly termed, are in fact the major philanthropists of our society. They neglect their own children so that the children of others will be cared for; they live in substandard housing so that other homes will be shiny and perfect; they endure privation so that inflation will be low and stock prices high. To be a member of the working poor is to be an anonymous donor, a nameless benefactor, to everyone else.” - Barbara Ehrenreich, Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America

Nice to take time away from the physical job of farming to relax with the, *checks notes*, physical job of gardening!🤣

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests. So, best we share all the footage we can here! This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu. 🇹🇷 #Turkey

But with solidarity Amazon can be rejected. It can be expelled from Ireland like Dunkin Donuts in the ‘90s.

It offers convenience so it can depress wages with its warehouse workers, so it can break AnPost unions with its drivers, so its delivery drones can have more rights than women. All so Jeff Bezos can die with unspent billions for others to fight over.

As you probably heard, Amazon is coming for Ireland. It’ll come for our small shops, it’ll come for our department stores, and it’ll come for our media, our journalism, and our democracy.

Genuine question, how can RTE news just blatantly get away with repeatedly putting out these green washing stories about airlines? Like changing the paint while aviation emissions (from Ireland and globally) skyrocket faster than their planes #speirgorm
