Now you know! :)

A Fight for Peace Fire in Every Direction (by Tareq Baconi) is a story of plight and hope. Fear and family. The dream that one day, there aren’t two stories, but one.

As the Iran & Israel wars rage on, this is an important love memoir wrapped around the continued Israeli advance in the Middle East.

Do You Come From Gomorrah? - Abbey Theatre Written by Frank McGuinness and performed by Ryan Donaldson, a young man relives difficult memories from his past. ***** The Irish Times

Can't review this @abbeytheatre.bsky.social because I know the playwright, Frank McGuinness, too well. But I also know it's a remarkable work. A career-defining performance from Ryan Donaldson, text, lighting, design, soundscape, combine to draw you in to a queasy and still unresolved subject.

Done. Thanks!

Still shocking 😳🤯🤣

What’s it about?

Yay!

Thanks for supporting small shops. 💙💙

The Majesty of Fungi In what will go down as one of my top books of 2026, Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake, PhD, opens up this reader's eyes to the life under our feet.

Science is amazing. Who knew!?

This book took me to places I had never dared to look. So interesting to learn about fungi and its unlimited potential and understand how little we really know about this living organism.

For no reason at all, here are some poems about war, destruction, and how awful humans can be, from my poetry collection MEXICANS ON THE MOON. 🙂 Much love to all.

I appear to be sneaking up on the 2K followers milestone, despite my being rather noticeably inconsistent in posting frequency (and quality, I'm sure XD).
