Tend to give out about subtitle fails & watch a lot of movies. Will happily watch Die Hard, Jaws, Shawshank Redemption, Stand by me, Back to the Future & Heat on loop (until they make better movies). #Deaf #DeafInterpreter #Spoonie. #amateurgenealogist
Made the mistake of starting Task late in evening and watched all 7 episodes. Just some great TV that kept me on edge of my seat throughout. Now off to google all about it and waste another of sleep

Got to see #DeafRepublic at the Dublin Theatre Festival and it burned a memory into my brain that I’ll fondly remember for the emotion that it evoked. Oh I cried tears. It was sublime ❤️
Putting this out again in case you missed it the first time around. #deafrepublic @royalcourttheatre.bsky.social is a wondrous piece of theatre.

Deaf Republic is unmissable – Other shows can only dream of being this good
Deaf Republic at the Royal Court creates the kind of immersive theatre dealing with big issues that few others even attempt and asks us, can we remain silent, any more?

Loved the subtitle addition for James of the Ryan family in Limerick on tonight’s #GoggleboxIre - very clever 😂

Loving #themoneylist being back on RTE1 - the concept is so easy and it’s addictive watching. Baz is a deadly presenter!

Urgh, I need a #GaaCatfish masterclass in time management to get through the next 5 days. Anyone know how I can book a session?

Delighted to see series 2 of #TheComplaintsBureau back on RTE1 - I love an oul email of complaint and this programme is a great reminder of your consumer rights (this week alone, I got money back from a complaint I sent… complaining works!)

Went to see @liannequigley.bsky.social at the Project Art Centre for her solo show as part of the Power of Expression set at the Disrupt Festival 2025. It was breathtaking, moving, and bought tears to my eyes. It’s a show that needs to be seen by more people as it makes an impact with its message ❤️

RTE aired #Creed3 on 3rd Feb and plans to show #Creed2 next Wednesday… seriously ridiculous - I know the reasoning is because they probably hadn’t the rights yet but the timeline is just stupid!

Once my BAHA hearing aid comes off at night - I hear nothing but fecking hell, some nights, I swear I become hearing and hear weird imaginary noises which means getting up, checking everything even though it’s impossible I heard anything 🙈

Just sent an email of complaint to a Deaf organisation advertising a position where the manager at the end of job spec asks ‘want more information? Call ….’ It’s bloody 2025! Get a bloody grip😤😤

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

I know I shouldn’t mention this…. I’m breaking the rules afterall… but I watched #fightclub - I can’t believe it’s been 25/26 years since I probably last watched it.

Saw #intersteller again this week, I decided at 1am I wasn’t tired and I wanted to see it (again) and it was so worth it. I love a movie that makes ye think 4/5/6 days later/makes ye google 4/5/6 days later - I think I appreciated it more the 2nd time around

Went to see #ACompleteUnknown - I listened to Dylan as an angsty teen thinking it made me cool; and really liked this snapshot of his life. It made me wanna root out my CDs and moan that I no longer have a CD player and then realise, I’ll just go to Spotify!

Recorded #ImogensCabinet 2 years ago & only watched now. Fascinating watch abt Irish artist #ImogenStuart. The family footage of her early life in Berlin was fascinating and to see her in her 90s working on her self portrait was stunning. I love her piece in the @nationalgalleryirl.bsky.social ❤️ RIP

Just think of all the potential TV shows the #GAACatfish could go on…. An Irish version of the #MaskedSinger…. And she sings…. As a…. Catfish!
