Im going with 6, and 7 later lol

An orange poster: What is Antifa? Antifa is anti-fascism. ANTIFA IS NOT A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. Antifa is the conviction that fascism must be opposed. The USA has embraced this principle for generations. In World War II, our soldiers fought and died to defeat the fascist regimes of Hitler and Mussolini. ANTIFA IS NOT COMMUNISM. IT IS RESISTANCE TO AUTHORITARIAN RULE. IT IS OPPOSITION TO DICTATORSHIPS. I AM ANTIFA. AREN’T YOU? ~ Patrick Goodness

To be fair if someone else gets the plane now I'd be asking for it to get a deep clean first lol

From a very productive time when I took every opportunity to paint directly from the subject, usually putting my bike on its stand and resting my drawing board on the handlebars. Magdalene bridge is crossing the river, punts are for hire and it wouldn't be complete without some ducks are happily swimming around.

One of my Cambridge on-the-spot watercolour drawings from nearly 30 years ago. This was done from the riverside board walk that leads to Quayside. I don't sketch in town any more - too crowded plus lack of stamina!

The face you make when you're tired of "Winning"

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.

“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.

I’m not taking credit for this it may be copyrighted but replacing Kristi Noem with Markwayne knucklehead is like shitting your pants and changing your shirt.

Two photos. The left shows me, in a red shirt with a white blouse under it, a daisy flower crown in my hair, a navy blue knee length skirt, and brown flat, holding a tray and drinking from a champagne flute. The right painting is a woman in a red shirt with white cuffs, a dark green ankle length skirt, a maid cap, brown shoes, holding a tray and drinking from a champagne flute.

Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art.

As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky?

This was “The Maid” by Wilhelm August Lebrecht Amberg, from 1862

#Film4 at 2:35pm, "For whom the bell tolls" the adaptation of Hemingways Spanish civil war classic novel. Aside from Gary Cooper being way too old to play Robert Jordan its worth a watch. Cooper is always good in everything he does but he is just miscast here.

"Doctor Who: The Web Planet - Crater of Needles". #DoctorWho

Spain 1939. "Speak the national language" "Speak Christian. Don't speak like a dog". Part of widespread repression of the public use of Catalan, Basque and Galician by the Franco regime. Can't remember where I found it but looks like a screenshot from a Francoist NODO newsreel

Marvelous version of ¡Ay Carmela! (El Ejercicio del Ebro) performed by The Song and Dance Ensemble of the Moscow Palace of Pioneers, USSR, 1968.

The Irish poet Charlie" Donnelly was killed yesterday 88 years ago on 27 February 1937 by a Francoist bullet at the battle of Jarama. A few minutes before, after a lull in the fierce fighting, he was heard uttering his last and now immortal lines "Even the olives are bleeding".

The hope for a new Spain with the defeat of Franco.
"The instinct for life, stronger than death and destruction, beating in this scence. Motherhood under the Sign of the Revolution,"
Anarchist magazine Umbral, 2 October 1937
The tragedy/trauma of what Franco's victory meant for the women who lost.

Tearful farewell of father and son as family members board ship in A Coruña harbour bound for Buenas Aires in Nov 1957. Iconic shot by Manuel Ferrol encapsulating the trauma of Galician emigration forced by economic hardship +by extension similar worldwide. Don't know colouriser.

No a la guerra. Million-strong demonstrations in 2003 in Barcelona and Madrid against the Iraq War

Dude rocking a Kipper tie is the cherry on top lol

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

WAR CRIMES DON'T HIDE SEX CRIMES!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

"Doctor Who: The Moonbase" episode 4. #DoctorWho

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

Great character, the Bane trilogy is fantastic, especially the audio book
