Folks, big ask for @joynewacc from Gaza (and my partner at Gaza Verified) who wants to study abroad:
Do you have any connections at Trinity College Dublin and/or UCD?
Joy’s already applied at UCD and we’re awaiting a decision. We also already have a contact there but more wouldn’t hurt.
We can’t seem to reach anyone at Trinity for help in having her apply. Ideally English/English Literature.
Please feel free to direct message me if you like.
And thank you!
💕

I'm giving a talk this morning at TU Dublin for Visual Artists Ireland's annual 'Get Together'. The event is for artists and arts workers.
They gave me the working title 'Grassroots Technologies', and I decided to stick with that name, though I might end up talking more about roots than tech. More radicle, less radical.

Today in Labor History August 26, 1913: The Dublin lock-out began, a 5- month strike over terrible living and working conditions, and for union recognition. At the time, some Irish workers were living with 55 people per house. The Infant mortality rate among the poor was 142 per 1,000 births. TB-related deaths were 50% higher than in England or Scotland. The main organizers of the strike were 2 syndicalists, James Larkin and IWW cofounder, James Connolly. Several workers were killed by police and by strikebreakers. Hundreds were injured. WB Yeats’ poem, September 1913, is often viewed as a commentary on the brutality of the strike. Connolly was later executed as a leader of the Easter Rising, in 1916.
