hows that?
A purple banner with orange text which reads "Turn off the immersion for feck's sake". It is from a text generator where you can make your own words into what looks like a Mamdani poster.

Love this shot from the Irish Times.

A photo of a some people at Dublin Pride today: young, older, black, brown, white, variety of genders presentations and nearly everyone is smiling. Except the woman second from left, but I think she just has one of those faces. Centre is a cool placard which reads "Mammies for Trans Rights". It is being held by a male presenting grey bearded fella in sunglasses, you can just make out his tee shirt which says "Dad's for trans rights" I'd say he's holding someone else's placard, but he cuts a swathe.

On the First Belfast Pride Parade in the 1991 there were more protesters than marchers. Thankfully, that day is gone and the wee cute bigots look quaint :) I've lost the plot completely! :) 4/4

A black and white photo, group of people marching at Belfast's first ever Pride Parade. There are buses to the left of shot and tall buildings either side. Everyone of course looked fabulous.

Skibbereen, every Saturday.
A group of about 40 people holding many Palestinian flags gathered for a demonstration of support for Palestinian people and calling for an end to the war. This happens every Saturday in Skibbereen in West Cork.

I drive up the country today and was frequently delighted by state agencies flying pride flags. First nice surprise was Teagasc opposite the big new services on the M8 Fermoy, pictured below. Then there was one flying with all the other international flags at the exit to Dublin Airport.

Glad to see this happening in Cork.
Join LINC and Gender Rebels next Wednesday evening to hold space for the community to discuss the UK Supreme Court Ruling, understand what this means for Ireland and come together in support and solidarity for our trans sisters and brothers. There will be tea, coffee and snacks and I’m sure a reflective and impassioned space to hear others and be heard. Kevin Hosford (Gender Rebels) and Soph Eales-White (LINC) will be facilitating this event.

Maybe it's time for another run of me stickers.
A colourful sticker which reads LoveOrganiseResist is stuck on a lamppost to the left of shot, and in the background is the Brandenburg Gate with people walking about between. Centre shot. A Sticker reading Love Organise Resist stuck on a lamppost.

Brown Envelope Seeds are so cool. Here's the cover of this year's catalogue, the theme is seed heros. Those internationally diverse gardeners and growers be wild! And the seeds are the best of the best. Love it!

I swear I don't know how you cope with the sweetness, feels like they could melt your teeth. These are my go to donuts but where I was raised in Derry we call them gravy rings. Yum!

This arrived in the post, and now I'm drinking it :)

We have a really special coffee roastery in Ireland @imbibecoffee.bsky.social . Not only do they supply really extraordinary coffee but they are riddled with wonderful ethical principles and show exemplary business responsibility. If I was a coffee roaster, I'd want to be Imbibe. #SpeirGorm

Yeah that looks like a gimmick for the USA market. The cheese is actually fabulous. These are real and famous Irish potato chips. We call them crisps, not chips here, and this was the first flavoured potato crisp in the world :) There is lore around us and our Taytos! We love them.

Look at me new mini HEPA filter! It's teenie and so effective. The mug is for scale, but also one of the best political party slogans I've seen. @socialdemocrats.bsky.social #GE24 #CleanAir

The train or the shop in Skibbereen? I was never on the train, but I would miss this shop :)
A shop window, for a shop called Eurostar, decorated with a spider's web, autumn leaves and a spooky pumpkin and words that say "I'll put a spell on you"
