In UK we call a lesser enabled phone a ‘brick phone’. I’ve seen it called a ‘dumb phone’. Do not use that term, a phone with less tracking and cookies/personalised ads is very smart, if you are brave enough to step out of the echo chamber cave & look outside, instead of at the shadows on the wall.

We all need a a timeline cleanse! A tiny #Egyptian #frog amulet, made of carnelian (height 0.9 cm). Because of their numerous offspring, #frogs were considered a symbol of fertility. Dating c. 1540-1296 BC, New Kingdom. A lovely weekend to all of you 🐸 📷Cleveland Museum of Art

Wow, go me. 😆 I escaped from some gnarly Egyptian dinosaur 🦖🤷‍♀️ (rotting flesh on Allosaurus thigh bones) underground burial chamber last night in a dream. I escaped by way of a narrow marble platform that was actually spring loaded by a series of wooden bowed bounce supports, activated by jumping.

Will be watching this. Sun Ra is an important figure in SFF who is often underappreciated.

"Normally, saying ‘let me think’ always led to me thinking of everything except the thing I was trying to think about, but somehow, on this drug, I was able to think deeply and directly in whatever direction I turned my mind." —Sheila Heti for @grantamag.bsky.social granta.com/good-medicine/

Happy birthday in heaven to Georges Simenon, born on this day in 1903. To mark the occasion, a piece l did a few years ago for @crimereads.bsky.social celebrating the dark, transgressive wonder that is his Roman’s durs. crimereads.com/simenon-roma...

Huda Ammori: "This is a.. victory both for our fundamental freedoms here in Britain & in the struggle for freedom for the Palestinian people, striking down a decision that will forever be remembered as one of the most extreme attacks on free speech in recent British history"

Why not learn Tachelhit? It will take your mind off other things for a while. 😆

A bit long but here’s Marx from the 1844 manuscripts providing an exposition of Goethe and Shakespeare on the power of money that all happens to sum up exactly where we are right now. (Reminded of this passage by Epstein’s capture of prominent academics.)

RIP Bud Cort. How else would you even pay tribute to him.

Talked about St Brigid and the wonderful writer Kate O’Brien (there was a connection but you had to be there to follow it) with UL’s Tina O’Toole and UAH’s Marisol Morales at an Irish Embassy event in Madrid tonight. Added bonus: another excuse to wear my St Brigid’s cross brooch.

Trump’s escalation of the illegal blockade on Cuba has triggered a humanitarian crisis. This is but the latest attempt by the U.S. to destroy Revolutionary Cuba. For more on that history, consider these titles. We've also made the e-book for "The Declarations of Havana" free.

oooh, a Seishi Yokomizo novel I haven't yet read. Congratulations to Brian Karetnyk.

While #Kobani remains under siege, while graves of #SDF fighters are being destroyed, while displacement of Kurds continues, a big issue at the core of all these developments remains unaddressed: colonialism. Let’s add it to the equation to make sense of developments in #Rojava and #Syria!

Rejected. ☹️ Seriously, who wouldn't want to publish my fight poems about Istanbul, human rights and REAL people, who are still in prison? It's hard to write about court cases & people who fought for freedom from dictatorship. I will publish them myself and get on with all my other projects.

Jesus wept. A judge who prosecuted women court reporters & who headed some of the judicial panels who made horrific decisions in contravention of the ECHR & press laws has been appointed Minister of Justice in Turkey. This will signal a further crackdown and human rights violations. We need change.

Honor your rhythms, she said, because everything has a rhythm.

#digitalcollage My poetry pamphlet on trial monitoring in Turkey was rejected. I’ve opened an online shop and will forge ahead with putting stuff out. I am not an English poet. Every line does not ‘pop’. My aims are not at all high, I’d rather stay local, be mediocre and make products. ☺️

At its inception, Bangor Uni was supported by subscriptions and donations by the slate quarrymen of the NW of Cymru; their financial resources were few but they recognised the value of education. On the other hand, Isabel Oakeshott...

Let’s have rent caps in the UK. House rental prices have gone up 6x in 15 years. My landlord is a mean millionaire who won’t clean communal area, repair a hole in the roof or do basic maintenance. Greed will be the cause of our extinction. (Bold claim, prove me wrong afterwards) ☺️🤣
