Since living in the US I’ve come to have a deeper understanding of the history of the country.
Founded on systems of slavery, genocide and barbarity… like many countries all over the world.
Colson Whitehead’s exceptional book is a challenging read.
I feel it ought to be on every school curriculum..Every child in the US and elsewhere should know these truths.
If you don’t realise the full effects of historical slavery and racial abuse, then you’re living in a kind of ignorance or denial.
It’s part of our collective responsibility to fully grasp the historical background of ‘racism’ - not only in America, but all over the world.
I highly recommend you read this book if you haven’t done so already. Love Annie

Maui…
This picture from Associated Press speaks volumes.
And I can only assume that, like you, I’m horrified by such an event. Just as we’re shocked by the incidences of wildfires and devastation in what is evidently an ever increasing cycle of catastrophic events.
This is why I support young global activists, whose future lies at stake.
When you feel paralysed by doom, the best you can do is to join forces by those who feel the same way..
even if it’s on a small scale.
This is how I try to bear in mind when I feel overwhelmed with frustration - grief and impotence.
Love Annie

I’m a tremendous admirer and fan of @marysmeals ..as you might already know!
Their food programmes manage to access remote communities, even in regions of conflict.
Here they are in Tigray - Northern Ethiopia..
I’m absolutely in awe of the work they do.
Just wanted you to be aware that MARY’s MEALS are out there making a massive difference for the good.

Me and Alicia working out the details of the performance!
Let me tell you people - this woman is EXCEPTIONAL!!
( Not as if you didn’t know already! )
SO calm kind thoughtful confident beautiful and TRULY gifted.
It was such a BLAST to be invited to join her and be part of the final night of Alicia’s Summer tour.
Even though I don’t go on tour any more - it gives me such a boost just to come up on stage to sing a song or two! Thanks and appreciation to Alicia and EVERYBODY who made it all possible.🎶❤️🎶

Here’s the most stunning picture of last night’s Super Moon…
This is the majesty, the splendour and glory of the universe, of which our lives play merely a microscopic momentary part. Like all living things, we are a temporary witness to the infinite, ever changing eternal choreography.

Like everyone, my heart has been heavy and my mind preoccupied with crowds of thoughts about the “what if’s” and “ if only’s”….
I just want to share this little clip to remind ourselves of her strength, power, determination, humour and courage at TWENTY - FOUR years old!!! No-one knows what Sinead went through except her close friends and family, but here she is - speaking with such grace and dignity about how it feels to be publicly targeted and ‘taken down’ when you try to speak truth to power. Now there’s a global outpouring of love and appreciation, which is great, but I really wish she’d had more public support for what she was trying to get through.

Sinead …
You bared your soul…
Shared your brilliance
Through exquisite artistry
Your incredible voice..
Fierce and fragile
Lioness and lamb
Sweet singing bird
Keenly tuned
Trembling..
Tip-toeing along the high wire
Or stamping the ground
Raw
Wounded
Fearless
Impulsive
Bold and beautiful
Truth teller
Singer of songs
Crazy wisdom
Power house
Shaman
Priest and Priestess
Unafraid..
May the angels hold you
In their tender arms
And give you rest
In peace…❤️

As every day passes I realise that the war in Ukraine is still continuing.
This clip was posted by the New York Times today.
A filmed overview of hundreds of deliberately destroyed buildings.
A starkly shocking reminder as to how terrible and far things can go.
These are people’s actual homes and work places - Entire communities now have nothing to return to. Mothers, Fathers, Children, Brothers, Sisters, Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, Friends and Colleagues…
Total desolation. The ultimate vandalism.
Where was everyone when this horror took place? Did they manage to hide or escape??
How could anyone survive such a hellish situation?
This is a the REAL horror that war brings to ordinary people just trying to live their lives as best they can.

I cannot even begin to imagine the mental and physical stress and trauma this has caused.
Nothing and no-one should ever have the right to serve and deliver an apocalypse like this.
It is utterly deplorable.
How could anyone go to sleep with a clear conscience after taking part in any of this?
Surely this HAS to stop.

AI …. All along!!!????🤣

But seriously folks…
Have you noticed how the proliferation of ‘humanoid’ robots seems to have been stepped up and snuck upon us this year??
It seems these kinds of inventions/phenomena are somehow ‘foisted’ upon us all without any kinds of checks and balances. The power of the ‘new’ seduces us into simply accepting these things because they’re THERE and there’s nothing we seem to be able to do about it.
If the powers that be in the political and business world were as invested in tackling the REAL issue of CLIMATE EMERGENCY we might not be at the tipping point of a catastrophic crisis.
But there’s always some new invention to distract us away from what we REALLY need.
Pandora can’t close the box..
remember!
Damn! - Watching journalists engage in ‘conversation’ with these ghoulish inventions is one of the most disturbingly ludicrous things I’ve ever witnessed.
How do you feel about AI ???
Please share your thoughts.
