I absolutely loved this book by @lauracummingart.bsky.social.
It's about art past and present, and what it's like to be an artist, and what it's like to fall in love with a painting. But it's also about family and connection and loss and pausing to really look at who and what is in front of you.

I wrote much of what I think about this election before it happened, so I am going to put it all together here. My book, Autocracy Inc, described the network of autocrats who seek to undermine democracy, inside their countries and ours

Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon ie, both online and in the high street.
Shop direct with your Irish retailers, who already exist.
Support local, not the billionaires.
