What a joy to read this short graphic novel by @SeanMichaelWord
I've loved Orwell since I read 1984 and some of his essays.
Recently I got into biographic #comics.
So when I saw this on the book shelves it was a no-brainer that I should go for it.

Good & bad news for those who want to cancel me for my opposition to Israel's Apartheid/Occupation: The good news is that I was cancelled in Vienna where, on Monday, I was to deliver the 2023 Otto Wagner 2023 Lecture, organised by IKA Institute for Art and Architecture (even though I had no intention to refer to the situation in Israel/Gaza). e-flux.com/announcements/560… The bad news, for you good people who want me cancelled, is that the organisers lacked the guts to admit that they were terrified of hosting me because of my opposition to Israel's Apartheid/Occupation. They suggested that we all pretend the lecture was postponed until my new book is out in German. When I refused to participate in that lie, they cited "the current dramatically escalating, geopolitical situation"! The gist of it? Civilised Middle Europe recoils in horror when faced with a principled opposition to Israel's Apartheid. And then, immediately afterwards, covers up its cowardice in lies.

I’ve been offered tickets for the executive boxes at St James Park, expensive dinners by lobbyists, hospitality for sporting events – and I turn them all down. I’ve claimed £0 in expenses since I was elected. I just think it’s wrong to take perks when you’re elected to do a job. theguardian.com/politics/202…

Corbyn was the proper opposition:
- the media hated him
- the corporations hated him
- the Zionists hated him
- the tax evaders hated him
- the racists hated him
- the criminals hated him
- the centrists hated him
- the fools hated him
Corbyn gave us a voice.

#WhereAreTheTrees? Some interesting observations by @SeanMichaelWord for @fairplanet:
“It’s fine to prune trees", (says the gardener),"but I feel sad to cut them down altogether. But what can I do? It’s my job & nowadays people don’t want trees so much.”
