For all my new Irish friends, because of the strangest case of mistaken identity in the history of Irish-American relations, I've been invited to be interviewed by Katie Hannon. The taping is tomorrow and I'll let you know when it's scheduled to be aired

Learning that you are an NPE oftentimes is shocking. It cuts at the core of your identity, of who you think you are and where you came from. Thankfully there are many resources available today for NPE’s to help them as they navigate their new reality.

We need to overcome the fear of posting or replying here beyond a mere click on a "like". "It's not so bad once you're in" used to be the phrase for poor souls getting in to swim in Dublin waters....same here: it's grand and welcoming. Come on in!

For #TombTuesday, I thought I'd share this Neolithic portal tomb known as the Gaulstown Dolmen, from the Anne Valley of County Waterford.

It is beautifully set in an atmospheric glade at the foot of a hill known as Cnoc na Cailligh (The Hill of the Witch).

Beware, this "BBC Breaking News" account is fake. It's not an official BBC News account.

If BBC News ever joins this platform, it'll be publicised via official BBC platforms.

Only thing I’d say is getting people encouraging others, keep posting, interacting, boosting others — make people see the benefit in this place.

Men’s pants: Your waist is 30 inches, therefore you are a size 30.

Women’s pants: Your waist is bad inches, you have wide hips, a small butt, short legs, a prehensile tail, and we don’t like your face. Therefore you are a size whatever the fuck we want, but only at this store.

When I first joined ‘the other place’ I loved it ‘cos people like @anniewestdotcom.bsky.social made me laugh every day. That changed, I could barely find my funny friends anymore + the place eventually became a toxic hell hole. So here I hang my hat now with fresh high hopes - who’s with me? 🌼

Had lots of folks ask, so here’s the plan:

I’m hoping tonight will be my last AMA on Twitter.

I’m going to announce it that way with the goal of driving as much traffic as possible away from Elon.

Starting next week, AMAs will be here as long as this platform works well for them!

Welcome to another wave of Bluesky newbies!

Remember - alt text your photos. Tag #alt4me if you need help. We value inclusivity!.

This place isn’t algo driven. Follow, reskeet & engage! That’s how you build your feed!

Also - it’s not Twitter. Take a breath. Aggro doesn’t work here.
