I know I have some people in the music industry following me. This is a great idea. A live aid type of concert benefitting Gaza on the same night that Eurovision airs, with hopefully all countries who are boycotting Eurovision participating here
I could see the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign trying to organise something like that in Ireland. It would be great if we could do something jointly with the other countries that are also boycotting. I see Zoe Lawlor sometimes - chair of the IPSC - so will sound her out.

Germany, UK and Australia won't drop out but I have hope for the rest of Europe. Get loud people
...until MOST authors (& some judges) also dropped out! The Polari prize committee was forced to cancel the prize outright this year. It was unprecedented. Imagine if the same thing happened with eurovision..everyone drops out until there are no other contestants & no show. #WeCanDream

I woke up and decided to go get breakfast.

Husband called “I’m glad I called in sick, I still feel awful”

I said, “yesterday? How are you feeling today?”

He said “you slept for a couple of hours, but it’s still Friday. 7 o clock in the evening”

I am so confused 😭🤣

I fell asleep, and I dreamed that I was being chased by a monster. It was part of a computer game, and I couldn’t find the off switch. And so I couldn’t wake up, and I was stuck in the dream.

The Nordic model of capitalism is far superior to the neoliberal from and is a short term antidote to fascism. But it 1) still leaves some behind; 2) can significantly slow climate change but not ultimately stop it; 3) like all forms of capitalism, will still suffer long crises after several decades

Here's a hot take, since Covid and the ongoing Gaza genocide has general indifference increased in the population making it easier for politicians to dehumanize the homeless even more , just treat them as a rubbish problem to be criminalized and moved out of sight ? #nzpol

It's important to boycott Uber. They will use the drones that killed children, who stood in line for flour, to deliver your food order. Do not use Uber. For anything.

We broke our tradition of watching a scary (kids) movie to play “Grave Robbers from Outer Space”……..and that was a fun choice.

OMG watching John Campbell eviscerating Cluxon on TVNZ+ Cluxon is twitching and looking ill. Huge breathing’s into mic like he’s gulping. Then he looks and sounds pissy. Blinking rapidly. ‘ I’ve spoken to a tange of countries up and down err around the world’ . #nzpol

They also radically cut the budget for the retrials and some people are working for nothing on those cases to try to get the prep done. Ask me how I know
