Dave -- Keeper of the Dream
@smithx57.bsky.social
Writer. Football/Soccer goalkeeper. Currently working on creative non fiction book -- "Keeper of the Dream" (per Vladimir Nabokov). Retired professional nonprofit fundraiser.. "Progressive"
Frequent derision heaped on #boomers is a distraction, a red herring. The vast majority of boomers are poor and underprivileged like the vast majority of people. The focus on "boomers" distracts from the struggle against #fascism, #racism, #capitalism and #imperialism and the #oligarchs.

It is too late for this year anyway... But Henry Kissinger is surely the worst recipient
My controversial opinion is that if he ended the immediate genocide, give him that inane prize, who fcuking cares? They gave it to Obama the drone king ffs.

Monstrous. The IDF literally does a double tap. They bomb the hospital and when rescuers rush to the scene bomb the rescuers... Targetting -- again -- journalists...

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif.

He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.

Speechless.

After due consideration, having weighed up the relevant evidence, assessed the balance of arguments and gamed the likely implications, I have reached the conclusion that Keir Starmer can fuck off from a great height.

"The whole world is watching". In the 1960s and '70s the student movements in the US raised this slogan in response to the repressive actions of the state. Today as I helplessly watch the #genocide in #gaza these words have a totally different meaning.

@araujohistorian.bsky.social I just came across your work and am very interested in it though I tend more towards literature than history as such.

I find that African novelists are very underread by North Americans and Europeans and I'm making a concerted effort to find out about and read more
