It has been proven that not only it could, but if the victims are othered enough - if the enough people don’t care, decades later, respectable people in suits will tell you it’s the only sensible thing to agree that justice would be divisive and to forget about it

Don't think I've spoken to a single artist who didn't struggle this Christmas, and I spoke to a lot, so even if it's not my work I'd really encourage people to try to support a local artist that you like instead of big corporations - every single sale makes a real, tangible difference to their life.
If, like me, you did NOT get the ONE thing you wanted from Santy (a 95-year-old bachelor farmer with plenty land and a bad cough), treat yourself to a print from an Irish doodler instead - big discounts across the shop, including on bundles, so go on. Go on go on go ON.

Commemorative poster I doodled for tonight's fundraiser organised by IAFP. It features a Palestinian flag with colours made up of the Reeks, a keffiyeh design, and swirls from the Newgrange stone, representing Palestinian and Irish culture intertwined. Signed copies by the bands for sale at the gig!

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

I would happily publish this statement in a UK newspaper – but that would now be illegal

There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

I've seen the question crop up a few times in recent days - How do you begin to resolve a conflict like Israel/Palestine?

So resharing a thread of some thoughts on how the peace process in Northern Ireland might inform a strategy. Important to note, no two conflicts are similar enough to think...

The ad for expressions of interest from ‘official’ historians for the ‘public’ history of the NI Troubles came out on 8 April, 3 days after the Court of Appeal found the British govt’s continued refusal to hold a public inquiry into the death of Sean Brown unlawful. Impeccable timing yet again.
