NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK "Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

Looking forward to this tonight. A fabulous Longbrrow line-up, brilliantly welded by Fay Musselwhite into a single performance piece fb.me/e/8kgPH0AU0.

Sheffield, this evening (you can also be among the first to pick up advance copies of Fay Musselwhite's new collection, which will be on early sale at the event)

What should you expect from the models. They might seem underwhelming, the atmospheres disintegrating, and harder to follow as they get further out and further apart. The idea is the point, and you can still see it, like the oblique Uranian axial tilt, this is expressed through the rings. 56/

This is one of the best (and experimental) poetry books I have ever read. One of the privileges of my life to hear Mark Goodwin read at the Carlisle Poetry Symposium. Buy this book, if you somehow have not already.

Our voices are close; completely echoless - muffled as if indoors. We're between four walls of mist. £3 off Mark Goodwin's hardback poetry/fiction collection 'Rock as Gloss' (until 2 April) markgoodwinrockasgloss.wordpress.com

#OtD 1 Apr 1982 oil company Exxon made a private report on CO2. It showed burning fossil fuels would cause global warming which may be irreversible and could be detectable by 1995. They then spent $31m to spread false propaganda claiming the opposite stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8039...

Old black eyes.. Of the birds nesting here currently, it's the Blackbird that concerns me the most. The female is sitting on eggs in a fearsome Blackberry bush but the leaves haven't opened yet which means the eggs are easy to spot when she occasionally exits the nest. Hoping for early foliage! 🦉

Maybe Herons, there in Life, Death, and Rebirth. Do humans who desire it get to return as Herons? What a joy that would be. 1/2

#OtD 25 Feb 1970 abstract expressionist artist and anarchist, Mark Rothko, died by suicide at his studio in NYC. Active in the @IWW union early in life, Rothko later became pessimistic about the future but he claimed "I am still an anarchist" stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7902...

The US does not care about the people of Iran. It does not care about democracy, or political freedom, or human rights, at all. Zero. It is pure propaganda.

And they want to do an illegal invasion in order to crush Iran's sovereignty and install the son of the previous dictator as a literal monarch, who will run the country as a playground for US capitalists.
