Hit with incredible anxiety today as close family located just outside evacuation area for Eaton fire which has not been contained. Meanwhile, I work from home here in Dublin due to weather warnings for freezing temperatures. The world feels so precarious and I feel unsettled.

Fifteen months of absolute hell coming to an end for the Palestinian people with the long overdue ceasefire. I feel like I can breathe again. There will be much hard work to do to rebuild, and a lot of grieving before the healing can even begin, but for tonight, let's celebrate.

It is with great sadness that I have to announce that El Gato died on Sunday. He gave joy to many throughout his life. He was happy, gentle and full of personality. Life will not be the same without El Gato’s company and friendship. We will miss him dearly.

A retreat from the world in hauntingly beautiful Malin Head. Long walks along the cliffs and by the sea shores and reading by a turf fire in the evenings. The batteries recharged and a submission sent off to Winter Papers. Here's hoping!

Blown away by this performance. Got a ticket tonight last minute and rushed into town as I'd been hearing for ages how brilliant Oona Doherty's choreography is and what an exciting dancer she is. Specky Clark is just so insanely inventive and full of surprises.

Thanks so much to Ali Abunimah and Abubaker Abed for the talk tonight and thanks to IPSC for facilitating it. I don't think anyone walked out of that room without being changed in some way by what they heard. ❤️

It was significantly honourable for me to share the stage with Dr Ali Abunimah in Dublin yesterday to talk about Western governments and media’s complicity in the ongoing holocaust in Gaza, crystallising the dark history of the Western empire in facilitating our plight.

Breaking: Israeli warplanes have just bombed a bakery due to distribute bread to the people in Gaza, reportedly killing 12 so far and injuring others. What a horrible war crime! This is just relentless.

🚨Breaking🚨 Israeli war bonds won’t be sold in Ireland from tomorrow. Israel today moved its bond prospectus approval process to Luxembourg. It has also not included Ireland as one of the member states where it will sell its war bonds.

BREAKING NEWS! Israeli war bonds will not be sold in Ireland from tomorrow. A little win in the middle of a Genocide! Source: the Ditch

Breaking news: Hamas ceasefire negotiators have been targeted in an explosion in Doha, Qatar. Israel has confirmed it was them, says AJE live just now.

.Keir Starmer has sent planes over Qatar to help with the assassination attempt. Keir Starmer and his government must be prosecuted at once.

For clarity: This was an Israeli airstrike on Qatar! Not only an explosion. Unprecedented and shocking. But not surprising given Israel's total impunity. The US must have given the green light, no doubt about that.

According to "Israeli" media, the murderous aggression against Qatar was "coordinated" with the US. Qatar must investigate the role of the al-Udeid US base on its territory. This aggression proves that no Arab regime is a US "ally," but merely a hostage and vassal. Qatar must end

Each time Israel gets away with a new crime, it expands its circle of atrocities. Today that meant dropping bombs in Tunis and Qatar as well as the usual crimes in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, which are so routine they’re like background noise. It won’t end here. If Israel isn’t

Bombing Qatar isn't going to start WW3, it will barely elicit a condemnation from Qatar itself. It's just another declaration of impunity to a world that already knew that US / Israel can bomb any country it likes and that most will apologize for being bombed.

The crunch time is upon us. Two years into the genocide, as Israel prepares for a final push into Gaza City to purge starving Palestinians from their last redoubt, western publics are starting to acknowledge a horrifying truth: their leaders are not coming to the rescue. This is
