Irish Mammy, vegan, book lover. Trans rights are human rights. Free Palestine. Working in climate policy. All views my own.
In the last month i have been rear-ended by a person who seemed high; been chased, flashed and roared at for the “crime” of forgetting to turn on my lights; and was subjected to verbal abuse when a stop/go system malfunctioned and i met another car head on (i was the stupid f*cking bitch). Scary.
Been absolute carnage on the roads, and it breaks my heart.

Something has gone terribly and uniquely wrong for road safety in Ireland.

The Icelandic pop star Björk's new installation at Centre Pompidou in Paris uses animal sounds to help people understand what's lost and what we stand to lose as a result of human-caused climate change.
A new installation lets you hear extinct and endangered animal sounds, thanks to Björk

Alright Irish Bluesky - we have 3 weeks to go until the Toy Show.
Time to lightly bully your friends and mutuals to join the butterfly place and we *might* just have enough time to have an excellent live reaction space again. #SpeirGorm
