Getting ready to bring my plants inside for the year--and realized all 52 of my houseplants are at least twice the size they were last year. Including the trees. We're not even gonna think about the veggies and herbs coming in D: Welcome to the jungle I guess.

Hell yea 👏👏👏
We have made the decision to depart as Ed Sheeran's band on the remaining US Loop tour, following the silencing of Macklemore by zionist lobbies.

We are a traditional Irish band who never saw ourselves playing in stadiums of that size and that opportunity is not lost on us. We have been friends with Ed for over 10 years now and will continue to be. We believe in dialogue as a means of progressing the plight of the Palestinian people.

As musicians, playing to those crowds every night is the stuff of dreams but to play in venues that silence anyone advocating for a Free Palestine is simply not an option for us.
It's important that everyone knows that the real enemy is the zionist lobby. They have worked tirelessly to silence artists who want to speak freely about a genocide happening before our eyes, for fear of retribution.

Research how much Robert Kraft has done to fight the BDS movement. That will give you a sense of what we've all been up against.
We were there for Macklemore's performance and speech. We fully supp orted his message, so did most of the audience in MetLife Stadium which terrifies the lobbies.

Go back and read the transcript if you're in doubt.

We are Irish people who understand colonialism. As founding members of the Irish Artists For Palestine movement, we are committed activists for justice and will continue to be.
This whole episode is once again serving to distract from the real issue, over 1000 Palestinians have been killed since the most recent so-called ceasefire.
Up the workers.
Free Palestine.

BEOGAI have made the decision to withdraw as a support act for Ed Sheeran's The Loop' North American Tour.

I don't take the decision lightly. Ed has been a friend to me and has changed my life, I could never thank him enough for this.

But as Irish people we know all too well about genocide, forced famine and violent occupation.
I cannot stand by and allow billionaires to use their position of power to silence the rightful voices of those who speak up against Israeli genocide and who highlight the savage murder of children.

I would lose all respect for myself to carry on as normal.

I need to be true to myself and my ancestors who resisted colonisation, and fought for a freedom that I enjoy today in Ireland.

FREE PALESTINE

AARON ROWEIt's hard to watch families in other parts of the world burying the people they love.

We should be able to speak about war, about civilians being killed, about children who deserve to grow up. Wherever they live. Whatever flag flies over them.

I grew up in Christiania, a small community in Denmark where speaking your mind was part of everyday life. Having more money didn't make your opinion worth more than anyone else's.
Money doesn't give you the right to own the conversation.

Nobody's bank balance should decide who gets to speak or which suffering we're allowed to acknowledge.

I love Ed, and I'm grateful for everything we've shared. That hasn't changed. But I can't put these words out into the world and carry on with this tour as things stand. We're withdrawing from the remaining dates.

I'm sorry we won't be there. This is a difficult decision, but it's one I need to stand by.

🍉🍉🍉Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed.

I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates with Ed Sheeran.

I stand with Palestine and its people.

Comics take a long time to make. Like a stupid long time. Especially for one person. Most popular comics are made with TEAMS of people, not just one person. Yes, even manga. Webcomic creators are usually one to two people however, and they're heroic and INSANE. (humble bragging here).

There is a rescue protocol. There is also a shoot-on-sight directive. Guess which one matters in the Spill. This weeks #cyberpunk #webcomic is live at dystopia.ink
A Dystopia comic page shows Bradson and Frazier trapped beneath the Spill in a collapsed underground space lit by a green glow. In the first panel, Frazier is shown from the chest up in his green military uniform and cap. He looks worried and asks whether there is a recovery protocol under the Spill and whether anyone will try to dig them out.

The second panel is a close view of Bradson adjusting his vision gear. He explains that even if rescue is possible, anyone lost out here is considered lost. He says no one who has been as close to “those things” as they have has ever made it back, and he doubts anyone would change the “shoot on sight” directive just because Frazier is a full bird.

In the third panel, Frazier reacts with disbelief as Bradson gets the night vision overlay working, casting a bright green glow across the space. Frazier repeats, “Shoot on sight?!” and asks what Bradson is talking about.

The fourth panel pulls back to show Bradson and Frazier kneeling among rubble, broken concrete, and twisted debris. Bradson explains that they will be assumed infected and shot like anything else moving on the Spill. In the fifth panel, Frazier coughs and angrily insists that the idea is insane, saying they are part of the Force and that there has to be a rescue procedure.

The final panel shows Bradson turning sharply toward Frazier and pushing back. He says there does not have to be anything, reminding Frazier that the Force is voluntary, that they took the risk and will pay the price, and that the virus carried by the creatures spreads easily, especially through the Net. He ends by saying that everyone is plugged in.
