The fork in your hand is the front line of a moral revolution.

Personally, I don’t care. I don’t need a religious revisionist conspiracy theory to justify my veganism, just my internal moral compass. So religions are hegemonic, abusive, and manipulative? Who knew?

@alicerefitishopland took this shot of me recording the sea at Cushendun yesterday afternoon. Sadly, very few seagulls...

Oral storytelling has been around a LOT longer than Johnny-come-lately books.

Please cite a source for this data or stop undermining veganism with spurious hyperbole. We have enough of an uphill struggle fighting misinformation from big Ag. Sigh.

Well, that’s a wrap for the β€œI Just Called” Belfast libraries tour – now I have a house full of telephone seats! Big thanks to all the @librariesni.bsky.social staff, especially Sian Cairns and Christy Niblock.

Man arrested under terror act after Islamic centre attack A 34-year-old man has been arrested under the Terrorism Act and is being questioned by police after an attack on the Belfast Islamic Centre.

This terror attack using an incendiary device on an Islamic centre in Belfast on Friday night should be national news, it isn't. Terror reporting is swept under the carpet. Belfast people will always stand for communities under attack, paramilitaries don't get to drag us back to the dark days. [3/3]

...So, β€œMay Contain Traces”, a set of three sound and video installations is looking for a new location. I’m flexible about dates. Hit me up if you know of any interested parties –it doesn’t have to be a conventional gallery space.

I heard the sad news today that Arts for All/John Luke Gallery have been asked to vacate their current premises at the City Side Retail Park from 01 September. Unfortunately, this means that all upcoming exhibitions are cancelled – including mine, which was scheduled for January 2026...

You continue to sow confusion by conflating Roma and Romanian people. It's poorly researched and lazy.

No recent immigrants have ever beaten me up, threatened to have me shot, or murdered two of my friends. That was all locals.

As a person of Planter stock, I find it ironic and bemusing that the descendants of people who came here as immigrants forcibly expropriating land from the original inhabitants are now against immigration. Sigh.
