"Visiting #Ireland last month, #UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine Francesca Albanese held a mirror up to the Irish State but also the media to reflect if it is reporting accurately on #Gaza The clear answer is no.”

The Currency · Omissions, caveats and false balance: How media is failing Palestinians, the international order and our profession - The Currency“Legal scholars tend to sharpen their pens after the smell of death has dissipated and moral clarity is no longer urgent.” This is a line from an article penned by Palestinian human rights lawyer Rabea Eghbariah for the Harvard Law Review as he explored an “inertia of legal academia” in examining Israel’s assault on Gaza...

Haven’t managed a #FF in a bit - but I’ve just had a gorgeous #commision piece arrived. So, here’s two #art recommendations off the back of that.

@welshpixie - gorgeous calligraphy focused prints with the most beautiful bordering and lettering. 10/10 would hire to “Book of Kells” a memoir.

@Ciaraioch - one of the best people on the internet - will make you burst out laughing. Wonderfully unique and brilliant style that’s cheeky and utterly captivating.

Two Art Pieces. (Top) A Calligraphy piece by WelshPixie with a floral border of Heather, thistles, Gorse, and BlackBerry Briars. The text is from a James Connolly piece, and reads “For our demands most Moderate are, we only want the Earth - James Connolly 1907” (Bottom) A portrait of James Connolly by Ciaraioch. His fire and surnames sit on either shoulder. Black and white image capturing something of the man that you usually see in photos of him.
Highly detailed geometric patterns with a skull centred and the words “La Mort” above it. WelshPixie
A gift from a pal was a commission with Ciaraioch. I decided my big lump of a dog at the time could do with his 15 minutes. Scene is Bodhi standing triumphant over, Cu Chulainn, a mythical Irish character who he’s slain. Piece is called “The Real Hound of Ulster”. To the side is a caricature of me in a knitted tank top (which is a real thing I own, knitted many times over the years for me by my Nan). Can’t tell you how much this piece means to me. Bodhi is an ex-Romanian Stray who ended up in Glasgow fostered by a Monaghan woman who I had never met, but on adopting the big lump of a - we realised we were from the same town. Figured despite never being to Ireland - Bodhi had found his people. Annoyingly for me, we’d to rehome Bodhi after we found out we had a small person on the way - and Bodhi unbeknownst to us at the time of adoption had some big old behavioural issues. Despite lots of work with him and him coming on miles - he’s the best dug, but just needed some love, it wasn’t going to be safe around little people. Somehow, stars aligned and a neighbour (also Irish) had just lost their dog and we ended up talking and they asked if they could adopt Bodhi. So, notwithstanding me crying loads and not really processing passing my pal terribly well at the time - all turned out really well. Still see the lump and maybe because his owners feed him whole chickens he doesn’t seem too mad and still gallops over to say hi.
