Delighted that my article on music in a medieval astrological text has been published in Renaissance Studies! My first publication, and part of a special issue based on our project “Sounding the Bookshelf”, where we read every book published in 1501

"The entire population of North Gaza is at risk of dying."

This is a statement from the United Nation's most senior humanitarian official.

She could not be more explicit.

Her statement is barely covered by the Western media.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

As you slept, Palestinian kids in ICU were killed because Israeli forces bombed a hospital oxygen station.

Just what will be the consequences of the West facilitating this depravity in full view of the world?

I honestly don't know. I just know we are going to find out.

[Continuo Foundation @ContinuoFndn]

In our latest newsletter, 'Florence, Stories & Soundscapes' we highlight concerts inspired by the city's history and great medieval authors. @RuneMedieval & @Ensemblepampinea explore Boccaccio's Decameron and @MusicaAntica presents 'Il Gran Capitano'.

This was posted by Mohammad Magadli, journalist and Palestinian citizen of Israel.

It's a video of a girl in Gaza, maybe 7 or 8, walking barefoot with her injured sister.

“I'm tired, I have been carrying her for an hour and I can’t now”.

Brace yourself for the responses.

@RichardBratby @amwilson_opera People love stories - the best way to make music resonate with people is to give them some connection to the people who created or heard it, rather than dumbing it down to bland descriptors of how you’re supposed to feel when listening to it, as I often see in marketing copy

weird AI alert: this sponsored post on FB caught my eye as the image of the curly haired gent on the right looked…strange (🧵)

[Dr Oliver Doyle @OliverDoyle1501]

Probably my favourite programme of our series this year, and already nearly sold old! Lots of obscure music to enjoy alongside some Josquin and Isaac gems, and Emma-Lisa Roux’s beautiful sekf-accompanied singing to boot. #se16

[Continuo Foundation @ContinuoFndn]

Step into 15th & early 16th century Florence with 'Il Gran Capitano della Morte' from @MusicaAntica and Emma-Lisa Roux. Explore music under Lorenzo the Magnificent, then Savonarola and finally the Medici restoration.

@crom_oliver @shillitz You know the guy hosted a Tory party fundraiser, right?

[Al Jazeera Investigates @AJ_Investigates]

"Raw footage of Israeli soldiers in Gaza, destruction of life, the appalling death toll of children. Pictures devastatingly realistic in the horror they showed of torture against Palestinian prisoners."

We are urgently fundraising to save an early Crucifixion by Fra Angelico for the public.

Thanks to generous support from major donors, a large circle of supporters, and significant grants from the Art Fund and others, we are now within striking distance of our target. 

We hope that, with your help, we will be able to bring this masterpiece into our permanent collection so that it can be enjoyed by our visitors for years to come.

The reason why Councils are charging for taking refuse, for parking, why your leisure centres close, and why Council Tax soars is because Conservatives have cut funding by more than 30% in 14 years.

What have they done with the £200bn ’saved’?

Stolen it all.

[Musica Antica Rotherhithe @MusicaAntica]

Flyering day! Moralising carnival songs, filthy frottole and a mass setting based on a love song, all from 15th century Italy, and featuring the wonderful Emma-Lisa Roux. 27th October in Rotherhithe, tickets £2-10 via our website! #se16 #rotherhithe #earlymusic

Lady with blonde hair, "The previous Conservative government and the current Labour government have not held Israel to account at all" #BBCQT

"They continue to say Israel has a right to defend itself, but not hold any sort of boundaries to that whatsoever"

"And now its progressing to three or four countries all across the middle east"

"When does defend yourself end? How many countries is Israel going to bomb before you finally stop selling arms to them?

If a 21yo rents a single room in London at today's rate, they will have put more than £100,000 into their landlords bank account by the time they reach their 30th birthday.

This is why young people don't have mortgage deposits or pension plans. We are other peoples'.

So lovely to be a part of this, my last paper given under the aegis of @tuosmusic!
