Fragments of Victory, co-edited by @oisingilmore.bsky.social and David Landy is out in bookshops now! Hopefully it’ll be a useful primer on the current Irish left, to which others can add their own histories, accounts, stories, disagreements and provocations.

A schlocky title - but this is a surprisingly powerful story of how Ireland’s psychiatric hospitals were used for the social control of women, and how this shame and heartbreak is still enforced by lack of access to records. My respect to Julie Clarke, who has fought for the memory of the dead.

Didn’t watch a load of new stuff but it was one of my best years for watching films! Lots of new faves among these. An effort to watch more female filmmakers definitely payed off.

I feel like I can post about nice things here and just use Twitter for giving out. Only right to share the misery.

I saw this poster from the Haitian Revolution in Bordeaux in August and have been thinking about it ever since. The caption reads “Toi enfin sera heureux”: “You finally will be happy”.
