"War is hell. It always is, whether it involves First World War tanks or 21st-century drones. We shouldn’t forget that while old men far from the front line celebrate their victories." - @teddyjamieson.bsky.social
Good to see Cannon Fodder in this...

"...During the war the British army was losing up to 3500 men a week not actually engaged in fighting. The phrase used to describe those lost was “trench wastage”. An ugly term for an ugly thing..." www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

An handwritten postcard on top of a pile of old blank cards. Text reads “perhaps at midnight, when all boundaries are lost produced by the shortwave collective reminds me of radio’s most powerful quality - that it is in the air, and that we are entangled with it. Radio is a borderless, boundless force, the perfect medium through which to transmit ideas, feelings, truths, that might meet resistance on the ground. Through radio we are also tapping into something natural and eternal, something in the atmosphere itself. This work makes me feel less alone in the world because it reminds me that I am of this world, porous and permeated by it, in reciprocal dialog with it - Ariana Martinez”
A beautiful drawing on a postcard on top of a pile of old blank cards. Delicate threads move across the card the titles ‘a mother tongue’ and ‘a walk through my cucu’s farm’ are visible
An handwritten postcard on top of a pile of old blank cards. Text reads “I remember listening to Poetry, Texas by Pejk Malinovski on my bike on the way to work in the spring. On the specific bend of road some kind of alchemy must have happened, because for years afterwards, everytime I passed that bend an image from the documentary flooded my mind - not a particular scene or sentence but a feeling of poetry Texas’
“A feature from the 70s where a woman is being interviewed who is taking a bath, she is telling the interviewer about her day”
The bundle comes with a blank postcard to contribute to an ever-growing archive of radio memories - glimpses of the ways radio is lodged in the bodies and imaginations of the people who listen…
