Last week there was a pro-Israel rally and this week Bosnia cheers and chants Palestine’s name loudly and proudly in Toronto.
At a time when so many remain silent, my people refuse to. Because why would they? They know the cost of silence in the face of a genocide.

Writing my book about forgotten 20thC British artists, I keep encountering figures who were once celebrated and are now scarcely known. One of these is Gertrude Hermes, an artist who was, she said, seduced by the natural world from her youth. 'Undercurrents,' is from 1938.

"The same skills needed for writing are needed for reading. Writers fail readers, but it also happens the other way around and readers fail writers when all they ask of them is confirmation that the world is how they see it."

I thought that if Israeli soldiers or settlers attacked Christian villages, the Christian world would unite in their millions in condemnation that their sacred sites were being burnt and erased.

The OLDEST CHRISTIAN village in the world is burning.
Taybeh, Palestine.
The last 100% Christian Palestinian village, where Christ resurrected Lazarus, build the Church of St. Michael.

BREAKING:
This is Gaza right now.
Israel is raining bombs on civilian areas in the middle of the night while people sleep.
Not a peep from the complicit international community, of course.

"The language of science and the image from the older tongue speak into you as one. You see blue-green algae crawling over the skin of the lake, suffocating it like body-paint."

Genuinely fascinating to witness the American tendency to talk about Canada as if we were a long-lost civilization whose culture can only be inferred from a handful of pottery shards and a single well-preserved bag of ketchup chips.
Jun 10
Canada seems like it tried to imitate American wokeness (as it imitates American everything), but wokeness didn't really fit Canadian society as well (because it has no large permanent-underclass minority), so it mutated into something very toxic and bizarre.
