‘Just stay to the left of the sheep’

Somewhere on a deserted road on the far left side of Ireland, Achill Island. Mountains in the background, clouds in the sky, a couple of electricity poles along the road and sheep coming our way.

Of course, #MVT was present at the memorial concert for the #MiamiShowBand massacre in #Dublin 10 days ago. Don't know the story? Watch the 2019 Netflix documentary. Proceeds from the evening went to the #IrishCancerSociety, which we wholeheartedly supported.

Jaarlijks gaan er miljarden van ons belastinggeld naar grootvervuilers zoals Tata Steel. Wat als we dat geld gaan gebruiken voor gratis OV voor lagere inkomens, meer natuur, schone energie en groen & gezond leven voor iedereen?

Kan gewoon. Moet je alleen even op ons stemmen.
Stem PvdD op 29 oktober

Dit zijn geen onschuldige opmerkingen.

Dit is een doelbewust poging van partijen als BBB en PVV om sluipenderwijs de democratische spelregels en grondrechten te ondermijnen.

Sta je op en laat je je horen? Of kijk je weg als het mis gaat?

Dát is waar deze verkiezingen over gaan.

When not in the spotlight...

But somewhere far away, in a somewhat muddy back garden of a small rural village in Ireland.

I love the sound of breaking glass
Especially when I'm lonely
I need the noises of destruction
When there's nothing new

Some two years ago we met a musician in the elevator of our hotel on our way to #NorthSeaJazzFestival. We had a little chat and he suggested we should come and enjoy his performance with probably the oldest artist around. RIP #HermetoPascoal multi-instrumentalist from Brazil.

Hermeto Pascoal, brazilian multi-instrumentalist live at North Sea Jazz Festival in 2023 passed away at age of 89.

Vorige keer heb ik strategisch gestemd. Ik ga nu gewoon met mijn hart stemmen. F*** it. Er is een politicus waarbij ik elke keer bijna sta te juichen als ze het woord voert in de Tweede Kamer: Esther Ouwehand van de Partij voor de Dieren #PvdD

Hello again @newagedoom.bsky.social glad to have seen your performance with @pussyriot.bsky.social today and speaking to you afterwards. Inspiring and brave you are. This is what I told you about and what we sounded like 36! years ago. CU again.
