By myself. It's taken me long enough to regain my attention span after a few years of really bad concentration (post lockdown) so I need to be able to focus. 📚😌

The fireworks are deafening around here. I'm definitely getting more sensitive to it as I get older, but it's mad! 🫣
Poor pets and animals too, it must be so scary for them. Having said that, I do hope the kids all have fun 🎃🧡 #Samhain #Halloween

This is where we are in 2025 Ireland: Two different assaults on drag queens on the street in Cork in front of hundreds of witnesses. That didn't even happen back in the 80's.
At least the second criminal's faces are visible. Prison for both

The same people who are spitting venom about foreigners being a danger to women and children are on social media congratulating the white Irish man who attacked Mary Lou McDonald and her group of canvassers today. Make it make sense

So angry for the Bloody Sunday families and the people of Derry. Absolutely no justice in this at all.

He may have been allowed to walk free by a British court, but the world now knows that David Cleary was part of the unit that murdered 14 and injured 15 in Derry on Bloody Sunday, 1972.
Let history judge them with the same amount of mercy that they showed their victims - that is, none at all.

Superb 3hrs that flew by in the blink of an eye with @seanronayne.bsky.social at #thelarkdublin tonight.
An evening of laughter, tears, joy, awe & hope.

What an incredible evening spent listening to @seanronayne.bsky.social at The Lark in Balbriggan. He spoke so engagingly and movingly about all aspects of bird life & general wildlife in Ireland. Stark+quite depressing statistics were presented alongside ever present hope and optimism. GRMA Seán 🦉

A small fire at the front of the bookshop was started last night after rubbish bags that were awaiting collection were set on fire. The guards don’t have reason at this time to believe it was a targeted attack. Thankfully the damage was limited and everyone is safe. We are open for business as usual
