This is beyond shocking - how can this be allowed to happen? Why on earth can’t they be released on bail? They have a right to a fair trial, appropriate medical treatment, & the removal of punitive Prison Service conditions. Govt’s ban on Palestine Action is simply intolerable

I'm suspicious of those who don't aim to haunt a bookshop or a library. If the afterlife isn't the point you tackle the eternal 'to be read' pile I'm not sure we can ever call ourselves friends. If I am not allowed to read as a ghost there will be much trouble. – #DAKilroy #Books

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

‘Ghost-carved’ may be my new favourite phrase 🖤 Hoping to walk some ghost-carved paths soon 👻
Some roads seem ghost-carved. Part of a haunted hodology. They cross the land joining places together not only in this world, but also in the Empire of the Dead. We may view them as paths of peril or accept them as part of the psychic infrastructure and walk them with a sense of wonder. – #CJosiffe

RAINY DAY BATS In Japanese, #bat is 蝙蝠 komori; they are associated with happiness and good fortune. Here their wings are seen to resemble the folding and unfolding of an umbrella

If you know any Arab journalist or writer such as myself please be aware that were we in Gaza right now:
1- Israel would seek to murder us and
2- the NYT would publish a piece explaining why we’re bad people
Our loved ones would still be mourning for us while the NYT goes on the offensive

In Appalachian lore, when a cat crossed your path before a journey it could foretell of luck or doom. Norse myths tell of Freyja traveling through realms in her cat-drawn chariot. Sailors’ tell tales of ship cats sensing storms as they travel the high seas.

The problem we have about health is that it’s marketed as this personal thing & conceptualised as the result of what you do to yourself or what individually happens to you -your bad luck-
But health is largely a collective expression of our environment & circumstances. This requires societal action.

Do you think you're sitting still right now?
- You're on a planet that orbitis a star at 30km/s
- That star is orbiting the center of a galaxy at 230km/s
- That galaxy is moving trough the universe at 600km/s.
Since you started reading this, you have traveled about 3000km.
