My fourth time at the so-wonderful Mangetout on Trafalgar Street - sit and drink the softest most mellow coffee and the most fabulous French food while looking at some of my pics - ‘Don’t Be Afraid’ - the last words of Seamus Heaney to his wife before he died - we need to defy fear with hope 🥰

Surprised that randomly imposing punitive tariffs on every country on earth, pausing some of them, and then trying to strike ad hoc “deals” isn’t working out

Me (sigh): What do you think?

The potentially crippling defamation verdict against @greenpeace.org — which hasn’t been getting the attention it deserves — appears to be a classic example of the trend in “Murder the Truth.” Powerful people and companies are weaponizing the law to muzzle critics. dankennedy.net/2025/03/21/a...

My painting, ‘Murmuration Midst’ will be used as cover for a CD of choral work, raising positive awareness for Alzheimer’s.

The painting imagines the experience of a starling amid the wings of the murmuration’s dance, as it swoops over the ocean.
