Thread, long but very worth it.
My parents were free-wheeling Boomers convinced things were only ever going to get better, financially. They had good reason, then. They could afford a house, car, and weekly nights out on two full time assistant manager jobs at a fast food chain. But they also got caught up in emulating wealth trap

Galway shawls were a type of heavy-weight shawl once worn by Irish women. Firmly believe we lost our way as a nation when we stopped wearing items that doubled as cosy blankets and would like to propose a return to the wearable bed.

First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes. GRMA! www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

#spiergorm #theatresky #booksky one of my favourite combinations of hashtags. Maybe a festive present for someone? Or yourself.
From @lilliputpress.bsky.social , just in the door, the official history of Galway's iconic (yes) @druidtheatre.bsky.social by Patrick Lonergan. A fine book, beautifully illustrated.
