The good in this world is what we fight against the rise of fascism for. Fight to the last. May the interior country of your mind never be over run. Be the good in the world. That is what is asked of us who care for people and nature, social justice and inclusion. It's a way of being. #brazil

Trump and Putin are world ruiners. That the diseased egos of such men, rise to the top of power, throughout history says much about a fatal flaw in our species. Humanity collectively produces monsters, and the work to prevent that isn't enough.

No one is going to give you the education to overthrow them.

To qualify, turn up and vote as its still a chance to change things, depending on how the fascists decide to mess with the voting system. Lets not kid ourselves that they cannot mess with it, or create a situation where the vote is postponed.... perhaps for a long time.

America is a madhouse of money and unbridled power, death planes and guns. The mask is off and all the ugliness is on show via Trump and Maga. You have fascism and nazi zillionaires and you still think the mid terms will be a meaningful vote. Gotta admire that level of belief. Good luck America.

As Burnham continues his centrist in disguise path as PM and is set to approve the pointless 2% Jackdaw oil field, here's a photo I took of Andy Burham in Nov 2016, speaking passionately at an anti fracking demo in Manchester. Politicians eh? #burnham #oil #climatecrisis #climatechange #fossilfuels

Under a tsunami of curated, carefully chosen news that is designed to reflect the will of right wing media owners, it is difficult to find hope for a future that isn't about war and destruction of nature. If us on the progressive left are unable to unite and push back, then the news is the future.

Doesn't amaze me. The people that support Trump despite this approve of him because they have the sam shitty attitudes, hidden or not. What surprises me is that we are surprised that many people are like this. They walk among us.

A poetic master-stroke. Equally remarkable, Beckett gently plants the perspective of parent, in empathy with a child’s first reaches and joys, using the madrigal, strongly associated with nature poetry. Both poems are laden with jewels of innocence. Treasure."

Like a ‘Madeleine de Proust’ these poems discard time, and leave the reader in the nursery and the garden of child-wonder-eden. Zegans explores the soft universe of developing awareness, knowing words were stretching to be born too. youtu.be/G4N-4Ck3kMU?...

I wrote a short piece on the book: "These two poems will awake something in you. They are both a broadcast from infancy and early childhood. When you have difficulty articulating your own early childhood apprehensions, trust a poet to enable you to reach back.

A new work: Poets Larry Beckett and Marc Zegans have collaborated on a new poetical work in the form of a 'Chap' book, a slim poetry volume called 'The Book of Immaculate Perception and Madrigals'. Poems that are linked in themes of infant and childhood. #poet #poetry www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3M0...

Nick spent alot of time in Paris, in the soup of French culture, and no doubt Brel was part of his European musical horizon.

Spent the last few days listening to the four gospels of Mark Hollis and Talk Talk. A spiritual experience, in all truth, to the final silence. Inspired by @graemethomson.bsky.social new biography The Four Seasons of Talk Talk. Let him who has ears, hear what the Spirit says. #music #nowplaying
