Depresso: that feeling
when you wake up, it’s
time for coffee and you

Heavenly Birthday Jane
Jane Birkin, a passé sa vie à relier les mondes, les langues, les arts. Celle qui transformait l’intime en beauté a désormais une passerelle à son nom, rejoignant ainsi le parcours poétique des comédiennes dont les noms s’égrènent le long du canal St Martin.

J. J. Cale #botd shunned the spotlight but gained fame penning such hits as After Midnight. His blues-inflected rock inspired some of the genre’s biggest names. "His influence is immeasurable" suggests Rolling Stone.

Israel is planning to drive out Gaza’s surviving population using the cover of media silence. Meanwhile, despite a supposed ‘ceasefire’, it is burning children alive in tents, killing little kids as they collect firewood, & refusing to let in aid.
