Join us on 2nd November at 7 pm GMT. #WeKeepTelling
We are raising funds for wonderful people & projects in Gaza while celebrating Palestinian poetry. Now, more than ever, we keep telling, sharing, giving. Please do what you can- and join us!
buytickets.at/sdhepress/18...

Title: “We Keep Telling: a reading series for Gaza.” Text: “Online on Zoom. 2 November, 7pm GMT, tinyurl.com/wekeeptelling.” In the background is a painting of a dancing Palestinian woman in a white, short-sleeved thobe with red tatreez and a keffiyeh tied around her waist. Her long black hair is swirling around her and covering her face. A dove stands on one of her outstretched hands, and another dove dances around her other hand. In the lower left, the painting is signed “Marah.”

There's an excellent exhibit in the @nationalgalleryirl.bsky.social of words and phrases in Irish for fauna, Tails from the Archive. I think Manchán would have appreciated it.

Butterfly buns? Spotted dick? Bombay duck?!? 🤭 Tbh I’m a veggie and hate this recent trend to shoehorn illogical meat references into every non-meat product - “meat-free chilli CON CARNE” anyone?!? 🤦‍♀️ - it makes me queasy and puts me off buying the darn things. 🤷‍♀️

Looking forward to reading at Cultivating Voices this weekend with a wit of fabulous poets 🤩 (it’s one of my favourite word games to think of collective nouns for a group of poets)
