If you feel shitty, and down about everything, know that this is normal for this time of year. It is so normal it is probably why our festivals of light are about now, be them lanterns, bonfires or light itself. Just keep going. Survive. There will be another good day.

Anti-Semitism Vasily Grossman (Life& Fate)

Anti-Semitism can take many forms - from a mocking, contemptuous ill-will to murderous pogroms. Anti-Semitism can be met with in the market and in the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences, in the soul of an old man and in the games children play in the yard. Anti-Semitism has been as strong in the age of atomic reactors and computers as in the age of oil-lamps, sailing-boats and spinning-wheels. Anti-Semitism is always a means rather than an end; it is a measure of the contradictions yet to be resolved. It is a mirror for the failings of individuals, social structures and State sys-tems. Tell me what you accuse the Jews of - I'll tell you what you're guilty of. Even Oleinichuk, the peasant fighter for freedom who was imprisoned in Schlüsselburg, somehow expressed his hatred for serfdom as a hatred for Poles and Yids. Even a genius like Dostoyevsky saw a Jewish usurer where he should have seen the pitiless eyes of a Russian serf-owner, industrialist or contractor. And in accusing the Jews of racism, a desire for world domination and a cosmopolitan indifference towards the German fatherland, National Socialism was merely describing its own features. Anti-Semitism is also an expression of a lack of talent, an inability to win a contest on equal terms - in science or in com-merce, in craftsmanship or in painting. States look to the imaginary intrigues of World Jewry for explanations of their own failure.
LIFE AND FATE (VINTAGE CLASSIC RUSSIANS SERIES): **AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO... At the same time anti-Semitism is an expression of the lack of consciousness of the masses, of their inability to understand the true reasons for their sufferings. Ignorant people blame the Jews for their troubles when they should blame the social structure or the State itself. Anti-Semitism is also, of course, a measure of the religious prejudices smouldering in the lower levels of a society. An aversion for the physical appearance of a Jew, for his way of speaking and eating, is certainly not a genuine cause of anti-Semitism. The same man who speaks with disgust of a Jew's curly hair or of the way he waves his arms about, will gaze admiringly at the black curly hair of children in paintings by Murillo, will be quite undisturbed by the gesticulating and the guttural speech of Armenians, and will look without aversion at the thick lips of a Negro. Anti-Semitism has a place to itself in the history of the persecution of national minorities. Anti-Semitism is a unique phenomenon - just as the history of the Jews is unique. Just as a man's shadow can give an idea of his stature, so antiSemitism can give an idea of the history and destiny of the Jews. One trait that distinguishes the Jews from other national minorities is that their history has been bound up with a large number of religious and political issues of world impor-tance. Another distinguishing trait is the extraordinary degree to which they are dispersed throughout both Eastern and Western hemispheres; there are Jews in nearly every country of the world. It was during the dawn of capitalism that Jewish tradesmen and usurers made their first appearance. During the industrial revolution many Jews made names for themselves in the realms of industry and mechanics. During the atomic age many tal-

And during the epoch of revolutionary struggle, many of the most important revolutionary leaders were Jews. Rather than relegating themselves to the periphery, Jews have always chosen to play a role at the cen-tre of a society's industrial and ideological development. This constitutes a third distinguishing trait of Jewish minorities. Part, of the Jewish minority becomes assimilated into the indigenous population, but the general mass retain their peculiar religion, language and way of life. Anti-Semitism always accuses the assimilated Jews of secret nationalist and religious aspirations; at the same time, it holds the general mass of non-assimilated Jews - the manual labourers and artisans - responsible for the actions of their fellows who become revolutionary leaders, captains of industry, atomic physicists and important administrators. This is a fourth distinguishing trait Each of these traits taken singly may be characteristic of some other minority, but it is only the Jews who are characterized by all of them. Anti-Semitism, as one might expect, reflects these traits. It too has always been bound up with the most important questions of world politics, economics, ideology and religion. This is its most sinister characteristic: the flame of its bonfires has lit the most terrible periods of history. When the Renaissance broke in upon the Catholic Middle Ages, the forces of darkness lit the bonfires of the Inquisition. These flames, however, not only expressed the power of evil, they also lit up the spectacle of its destruction. In the twentieth century, an ill-fated nationalist regime lit the bonfires of Auschwitz, the gas ovens of Lyublinsk and Tre-blinka. These flames not only lit up Fascism's brief triumph, but also foretold its doom. Historical epochs, unsuccessful and re-
LIFE AND FATE (VINTAGE CLASSIC RUSSIANS SERIES): **AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO... actionary governments, and individuals hoping to better their lot all turn to anti-Semitism as a last resort, in an attempt to escape an inevitable doom. In the course of two millennia, have there ever been occasions when the forces of freedom and humanitarianism made use of anti-Semitism as a tool in their struggles? Possibly, but I do not know of them. There are also different levels of anti-Semitism. Firstly, there is a relatively harmless everyday anti-Semitism. This merely bears witness to the existence of failures and envious fools. Secondly, there is social anti-Semitism. This can only arise in democratic countries. Its manifestations are in those sections of the press that represent different reactionary groups, in the activities of these groups - for example, boycotts of Jewish labour and Jewish goods - and in their ideology and religion. Thirdly, in totalitarian countries, where society as such no longer exists, there can arise State anti-Semitism. This is a sign that the State is looking for the support of fools, reactionaries and failures, that it is seeking to capitalize on the ignorance of the superstitious and the anger of the hungry. The first stage of State anti-Semitism is discrimination: the State limits the areas in which Jews can live, the choice of professions open to them, their right to occupy important posi-tions, their access to higher education, and so on. The second stage is wholesale destruction. At a time when the forces of reaction enter into a fatal struggle against the forces of freedom, then anti-Semitism becomes an ideology of Party and State - as happened with Fascism.

During the Middle Ages, cats were associated with withcraft, and on St. John’s Day, people all over Europe would stuff them into sacks and toss the cats into bonfires. On holy days, people celebrated by tossing cats from church towers.During the Middle Ages, cats were associated with withcraft, and on St. John’s Day, people all over Europe would stuff them into sacks and toss the cats into bonfires.

October is the busiest month, but early starts and late finishes have their own rewards. Today a bridge informed me that it’s Fire Safety Week #FSW24 - a timely reminder in a time of fireworks and bonfires.

View of the Liffey from Talbot Bridge: the lights from buildings at either side, and even a tall crane whose reflection stretches to the bottom of the picture frame, do not meet in the middle, and the dark power of this broad, deep tidal river can be judged by the ripples of current in the middle. Central and in the top-third of the frame, the Sam Beckett Bridge, still lit in the grey dawn light, shines red along the stands of its harp-shaped back, creating a canvas with the numbers 2024 picked out from the colour.

Gonna start taking this country seriously again once we have a #GeneralStrike, seized the means of production & nationalised all the billionaires & their assets & then had one mother of all bonfires burning the effigy of NeoLiberalism.

Breathtaking 🏆 I see the X’s in the sky as references to the marks on the map showing the Meseta bonfires that form the true border around Echo, and the eye motif of the moon and stars that Sam sees in the Echo mine staring back at him on the spider!
