I constantly post about #Dublin and #JamesJoyce

On #Bluesky I click hashtags and find I am #blocked - people are so dehumanizing with computer worship on Bluesky. I have never commented or posted to this person, yet when I was following 11 month old messages I find I am blocked by them

For what crime? I posted about James Joyce? People are so dehumanizing on #Bluesky #FWakeBlockHappy

"Finnegans Wake is the greatest guidebook to media study ever fashioned by man." - Marshall McLuhan, Newsweek Magazine, p.56, February 28, 1966

Some of the greatest most creative minds weren’t above a dirty joke or two.

#JamesJoyce was another admirer of standard-bog humor.

"The snow was falling upon every part of the lonely churchyard on the hill where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead."
- James Joyce, "The Dead"

Photos of Anselm Keifer's exhibition 'Finnegen's Wake' (White Cube 2023). Tough, gorgeously physical work, & especially enjoyable for the small works & (for me) wonderful chaos of the hang - plus clear evidence of a sense of humour (snice). I love (most) of his big paintings but they are queasy - in part / too much - gross excess (spectacle). These smaller works were very engaging.

+ such a great text.

the municipal plaque marking the former home of Marshall McLuhan on Wells Hill, along with the copy of James Joyce's Ulysses that - in an exemplary instance of Bretonian "objective chance" - I found in an adjacent little free library 🏡 📖 ✨
