Writings on Art
michaelecutaya.wordpress.com
Introduction time again: I am a French citizen living on the west coast of #Ireland for 30 years. I write about ideas and #VisualArts. I continually struggle as to whether writing is the best way to engage, so I'm #re-wilding my #garden. Lots of PDFs on my website.

It’s difficult to underestimate the extra burden that this is placing on our public libraries. For example, on a daily basis library workers are now filling the in-person/human service gap that billion euro banking institutions have abdicated from to maximise their profit margins.
"Essential services are now digital by default, leaving many older people feeling locked out of their own lives."

It was lovely to be outside Dublin castle this morning watching the preparations, doing a small segment on morning Ireland on the inauguration of President elect Catherine Connolly. The rain even held off for a few minutes. It’s a historic moment -the 10th President and 3rd woman. #speirgorm #aras25

I hear lots of calls in the UK for citizens' assemblies to improve their democracy. And every time I think, they're only useful if their conclusions are implemented. We got a watered-down version of the abortion recommendations, they ignored completely the biodiversity assembly and the drug one 🤷♀️
