Hope you enjoy "Aran Isles" available now on Bandcamp: https://t.co/1ZWjsRtO1h, a dance remix of this song about the group of Islands off the West Coast of Galway, Ireland. Sufi meets Gael, good for the soul! X
Enjoyed the #FontainesDC gig at #kunst!rasen #bonn last week. A great evening seeing a band in their stride, definitely maybe not yesterday's dinner (:)! Reasonable ticket price. Had a nice curry wurst, on the subject of food, and refreshing apfselsaftschorle X
The Dictionary, quoting Byron, quoting Boswell, quoting Samuel Johnson: "Those who call protesting the US & West-supported Israeli Government's genocide 'antisemitic' would cry fire in a flood, inferno in the deluge, or 'Fire! Fire! in Noah's flood." One gets the picture... X
With this month hosting Cow Appreciation Day on the 8th, I hope you enjoy 'The Magic Cow', a video filmed with #orefilm last November in Rome https://t.co/Gdrq36TA7c. All support greatly appreciated, messages for the Magic Cow will be passed on without delay...Mooo....X
Enjoying a pint and pub grub (tasty if pricey fish stew(!), a special treat!) at the The Cow Saloon Bar & Dining Rooms, Westbourne Park, the cow theme tying in with 'Magic Cow', first release from acoustic album Lá Bealtaine, coming soon...! Mooo....:) X
It will be tragic if Gaza is not also finally protected while there may be leverage against Israel and its allies. I hope something concrete finally happens. X
Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz says Israel’s war in Gaza should be brought to an end. Speaking in parliament on Tuesday, Merz said “the moment has come” for a ceasefire in the enclave between Israel and Hamas.

@AJEnglish#GreenhamCommon women were cleared of criminal damage after throwing paint at cruise missiles in 1983. The Tories never branded us as terrorists
The Guardian and Reuters are now reporting Trump is planning a nuclear strike in Iran, on the pretext of the non-existent nuclear bomb programme. Time to update this film title to: Dr Strangelove: Or how I learned to avoid (my backers') financial clawback and love the bomb. X
'GardenOfTheWorld' about the threat of war in the Middle East ('Reverse Rewind' album). Gaza, now 82% Israeli military zone, a bit handy to weaken Iran, Palestine's ally, just before going for the last 18% of land...?...Hoping any peace includes Gaza X https://t.co/UhM2brAhUn
How past leaders dealt with double-talk and brutality - a great anecdote from Irish/ English history by The Dictionary - by meeting one on one in a river. Hopeful but pessimistic, as the destructive wrecking ball approaches Iran...X

The world could have stopped the genocide in Gaza.
Instead, governments — including our own — allowed Israel to act with total impunity.
Israel’s reckless strikes on Iran are the product of that impunity. They represent a shameful failure of global leadership. And they are a threat to the safety of humankind across the world.
Our government needs to wake up, end its complicity in Israeli war crimes and defend international law.
That is how we bring about urgent de-escalation, end the genocide and stop the world from being dragged into a catastrophic, nuclear war.
We are all human beings on one planet. Surely that is enough to try and bring about a world of peace.

“Again at the park on a nice summer day
High up above me the trees gently sway
A bird flew away and I went to sleep.”
Resharing this as I figure out photo ratio...(!) Pic was taken a few weeks ago, wearing my kneecap tee. Hoping political pressure builds as it's now openly admitted this has been a land grab. Shocking, disturbing. T X
Me last week at Porto Palazzo market, Turin, alongside a poster for 'Any Where, Any Time', opening scenes filmed there, the story of a Senegalese immigrant struggling to get by. Humbling to remember that three generations ago my own family went from Connemara to America. X
