Ireland recognises the state of Palestine !! (Trigger warning heartbreaking images of murdered Palestinians) Over the weekend I spoke at the European Writers Festival I was asked about how my Irishness informs my life and my writing. I said that no matter where I am in the world being Irish is my anchor but didn’t have time to expand too much on what that meant. Here’s an example. Irelands recognition of the Palestinian State reflects our own history, the formerly oppressed siding with the currently oppressed. I’ve never really felt more proud to be Irish, nor felt as strongly the necessity of that anchor ! I feel it now keenly in this context, living in the centre of empire, in the beating heart of Babylon where atrocity is normalised and defended everyday, where we are expected to fall in line compliantly and so many clearly do so. But as an Irish person “raised on songs stories of heroes of renown” of freedom fighters, of steadfastness, of unimaginable bravery and integrity in the face of crushing colonial oppression, I know the difference between the coloniser and colonised and I know that the coloniser will employ the full force of their powerful propaganda machine to dehumanise the colonised and try to convince us that they deserve to be destroyed. Have included some images of the response to Irelands decision here too, Have also included some images of the daily slaughter being meted out upon Palestinian people…it’s beyond fucking disgusting…how anybody can justify, deny or entirely ignore what’s happening just beggars belief at this stage 🇵🇸🇮🇪🇵🇸

Ever inspired by and in awe of the magic the beauty the craic of Ireland When @aoife_ireland (whose stunning designs are described as unique Irish garments that are at peace with the planet) got in touch with the invitation to feature in her new collection how could I refuse the following proposal : “This season, I am focusing on reconnecting with our land and Irish roots, shedding light on the vibrancy and spiritual nourishment that our island has always offered. It’s about embracing the belief in animism, acknowledging the illuminating life force within nature that brings us sanity. As feminine energy rises once more, the question arises: Are we, as Irish people and those who share our cultural connections, ready to reclaim our heritage and embark on a journey of awakening and reconnection with our identity, land, language, and culture?” I mean…sign me up !!! ☘️☘️☘️#ireland #amngirls #coclare
*EDIT yis are all gassin me in the DMs so much that I’m pinning this promising myself to sing more ☺️* Because I’m pretending I’m a singer (I’ve never sung a day in my life) and kinda wishing I was because ya dun know I don’t wanna write the damn #PhD 😩 and because I love #thefourtops and because I’m feeling all emosh and because #procratination

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and recognised as one of best books of the 21st century, it was something of a pinch me moment when I was approached to write the introduction for the publication of this beautiful @foliosociety special edition of Colson Whiteheads Underground Railroad. The history in this brilliant book certainly does not make for a light read, but the storytelling is exquisite and god knows is it a necessary one. What an honour to contribute to this edition animated by the stunning woodcut and painted collage artwork of @jbarberstudio 🙏🏽
