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

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...

I haven't been active on #Substack lately but I wrote this little piece to mark it last year 🐍 sadhbhosullivan.substack.com/p/imbolc

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.

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.”

"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...

A view from inside Israel: The closure of the Dublin embassy is a distraction tactic

Israel is a diplomatic bully and never addresses its human rights abuses. Global focus should not be on etiquette but on freedom for Palestine

In the lead up to this #GeneralElection I've seen more conflicting posts than ever about how far down the ballot you should vote. There's a lot of confusion out there about how transfers actually work. This article explains it really clearly #ge24 #speirgorm jackkennedy.ie/2020/02/07/h...

Vote down the ballot or don’t, but know how it works: STV transfers

Ireland’s having an election tomorrow. And, as usual, it’s stressing me out a lot. One of the things that’s stressing me out is ongoing Twitter discourse about how best to use one…

When I was floundering, a friend reminded me that in the #socialchange ecosystem, the role of the storyteller and the musician matters. So here's a work-in-progress inspired by a recent protest at Shannon. I'm running out of ways to say this is not ok, but I'll keep saying it anyway. #freepalestine

I got to witness the incredible voice of Ganavya in Dublin Unitarian Church last night. Transcendental, life-giving, many tears and deep sighs. My heart is better for it today! I said to someone afterwards "This music thing...it's good isn't it?" Sometimes you forget ❤️‍🩹 youtu.be/FrqdESG9rLs?...

After a week of feeling completely overwhelmed and like nothing I do is enough, working through @deepaiyer.bsky.social's Social Change Ecosystem this morning is giving me life. None of us can be everything, but we all have something to weave into the tapestry of change. #socialchange #socialjustice
