This town hall in Fosses-la-Ville looks set for demolition. From the end of the C19 and by a Brussels architect. A bit of a time travel experience. You don't see buildings this prominent disappear often these days.

Now including people up to the age of 35!

Young people, age 16 - 35, who are non-speaking, sometimes speaking communicate differently and their supporters, I'm interested in hearing from you for my
@researchireland.bsky.social funded project.

#LoveIrishResearch #SupportedDecisionMaking #ADMCA

Poster the University of Galway and Research Ireland logos. The poster has a series of questions with pictures beside each answer. The text reads. Young people who are non-speaking, sometimes speaking or communicate differently and research on the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act.
Who can take part? Young people who are non-speaking, sometimes speaking or communicate differently aged from 16 to 35 years and their supporters can take part. They should have made or be getting ready to make a support agreement under the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015. What will people taking part have to do? People taking part in this research will have to tell Clíona things like who helps them to make decisions, what role under the new law they picked, what was easy or hard about learning about it or getting it set up. How can I find out more? Contact Clíona at cliona.debhailis@universityofgalway.ie or 0860081153

University of Limerick

@unioflimerick.bsky.social

Today UL has made the decision to no longer post on X

If you're one of our new Bluesky followers, check out our UL Starter Pack of academics, researchers, departments & faculties:
go.bsky.app/6E5Dav8
#StudyatUL

Why we are no longer posting on X

In line with University of Limerick’s ongoing commitment to providing engaging, transparent, diverse and positive communications through our digital channels, the University has conducted a review of its presence on the X platform (formerly Twitter).

Due to the sustained decline in engagement, concern as to the veracity of performance data, the prevalence of automated traffic, an ongoing EU regulatory review, and the increased presence of toxic content, UL will cease posting on the X platform. This decision aligns with our commitment to responsible digital communication and safeguarding our online community as well as our own team members. The University will continue to prioritise social media platforms that provide a safe, engaging, and effective environment to communicate with our audiences, while remaining open to reassessing this decision should the platform’s content moderation practices and user experience significantly improve in future

Cityscape.

You can find this in the National Gallery of Ireland.

I LOVE the when and why of this painting.
A new beginning for Neel.
