Diana Marksman’s dancers appear melancholy and internal creatures. Their youthful frames appear less as spine and bone than as a fluid collection of thoughts and associations held together, barely, by a thin cover of translucent skin. nyer.cm/8C8Ggtk

The usual geniuses keep using this photo, to make their usual dumb/hateful anti-immigration arguments.
Quite ironic, to say the least.
A few facts about this photo, for anyone interested in who those women were - and what their stories might tell you about Ireland. /1

This was me exactly 3.5 years ago today. I was in hospital as I’d just nearly drunk myself to death. I’d been an alcoholic and suffered from depression and anxiety for 25 years.
I’m completely sober now and wanted to share some learnings that may help someone (1/8) 🧵
We watch a campaign that is senseless, disproportionate, counterproductive, cold blooded and fundamentally evil. Israel will admit the futility of it all one day, but Sidra and her family, and tens of thousands more will be long gone off this earth. Enough Israel, just stop.

This is 7 year old Sidra, the cousin of my wife. The impact of the Israeli missile was so powerful it flung her out, leaving her mutilated body dangling from the ruins of the destroyed building in Rafah 48 hours ago. My wife’s aunt Suzan, her husband Fouzy Hassouna, two of their sons, Muhammad and Karam, Karam's wife Amouna and her three children (7-year-old twins Sidra and Suzan, and 15-month-old Malik) were all killed. The family had been displaced from the north of Gaza and took shelter in Rafah. We will be relentless until those responsible brought to justice.

Nick Cave's new tribute to Shane MacGowan, which doubles as a tribute to Sinéad O'Connor (from his newsletter, doesn't seem to be linkable yet)
"A beautiful and damaged man, who embodied a kind of purity and innocence and generosity and spiritual intelligence unlike any other."
Ireland 13th from the bottom in 240 nations in the biodiversity intactness index (Northern Ireland 12th), being ‘one big farm.’ We can come back from the brink though. Well worth a read.

The day before the contract was signed, Micheál could have placed that ‘lessons have to be learned’ message into a bottle and flung it out to sea, for it to come cheerfully bobbing ashore this week.
Posh Cork has a plan

R.I.P. Tony Sirico. Gave me so many laughs, and this was close on the best TV episode ever.
RIP Tony Sirico
Paulie Walnuts. One of the greatest TV characters ever. @LightsCameraPod
Much as I admire @EamonRyan, I’d hope he would have a quiet listen to this very blunt indictment of Ireland’s energy planning by Sarah Cullen. We are in big(ger) trouble if we can’t get our act together and act on what our experts are saying. podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcas…
Any news @talktoBOI ?

Lots of people asking us about #bumblebees at the moment - why they’re seeing them on the ground - so here’s a quick thread to explain what they’re up to. Please share as every #queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce new queen #bees for next year! 1/7
While at the same time making an excellent case for joining NATO before breakfast

I don’t normally share anything personal but this my dad from a while back explaining to my daughter he signed the Beatles. Ordinary people do extraordinary things. Great decisions are made for the simplest reasons. “I figured if I like them this much other people might too” ❤️
Is Ray Houghton being paid by the word? A lot of distracting ‘what he should be doing here...’ #IRLAZE
