First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes.

I think this should be a much louder rallying cry The youth of today, teenagers right up to people in their 30s, have been and will continue to be saddled with governmental failure to deal with housing, cost of living, and capitulation to private equity Why would you fight to defend that system?

Israel is not allowing antibiotics, IV solutions or surgical material to enter besieged Gaza despite 2-month ceasefire.

Scottish friends! I'm looking for a voice actor (roughly 30-40 years old, female) for an unannounced game✨ You definitely don't need to be an established actor, but you must be UK based with your own recording equipment. This is a paid role, DM for brief! #voiceacting

Quick question If taxis drive slowly across the city, in protest, and bring the city to a standstill, how will that be different to what they do everyday? #busLanesForBuses

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Tired of rugby analysts being happy with a lack of knowledge of the scrums So I called up a scrum expert to get the verdict on Ireland's Springbok capitulation TLDR: Ireland shouldn't be worried, but the 'Boks are ludicrously powerful. What makes them so good? www.irishtimes.com/sport/rugby/...

Opened my Instagram stories and there’s Willow Smith over in Los Angeles lip synching a middle aged Limerick mans experience of maintaining friendships while being autistic

okay this is legitimately very dudes rock

The majority of an Irish city’s new protected cycle lane schemes do not impede ambulance drivers and have, in some cases, enhanced accessibility for emergency services, a new report has found

Always great to break down the match with Jeff It was an odd one, but maybe littered with more hope than I thought at first glance

Close to 1 full goddamn gigawatt of gas (open-cycle, so the most inefficient kind) for the "Project Jupiter" site in New Mexico. This whole article is a stunning illustration of how data centres are incentivising new fossil infrastructure: eastdaley.com/daley-note/p...

Everyone should have a home Yes, everyone means everyone We have over 160,000 vacant & over 20,000 derelict homes in Ireland Use them or lose them ffud streetart for #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland Sligo Town, Ireland, 2025, with @judesherry.bsky.social

I'm all for road safety but you could have every cyclist in the land wearing a full suit of Christmas lights and drivers fucking around on their phones will still knock them down

yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore I feel like we need this

How poor is the quality of politician in Europe, that she's the Commission President??

happy trans day of remembrance. you are beautifully and wonderfully made and I will never stop fighting for you. the world is better because you are in it

Private equity is looting our malls, doctors' offices, and nursing homes. Heck, you name it, and private equity has probably already bought it. Their scheme spares no one. I’m fighting to stop it.

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

This would honestly make you sick to the back teeth, the stress, and the absolute neck of the company involved

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

Hello! It's been a year and some change since I was laid-off from my previous job, and I'd love a new one. My name is Steve and I have 7 years of experience in the animation industry as a background artist and illustrator. I've worked on shows like Castlevania, and card games like MtG!

It's truly wild to have been one of the guys a decade ago writing pieces that were basically like "guys did you know the internet is a bunch of privately held buildings in distinct geographies and that has broader ramifications" and see how far public literacy has come

Rejoice, 'tis the day of my birth! I shall partake in the tradition of humbly asking celebratory reblogs of mine art 😌🎨

"You may not know this, but there exists, among certain cohorts of the public, a perception that Ireland’s political establishment and media establishment are too intimately connected. And what on Earth would give them that idea?" Happy Saturday, it's time to read my column.

There seems to be a running trend of bumping out films that feel like 1.5hr long episodes of Disney Plus TV shows (With the exception of One Battle After Another, which was excellent)

This is a deeply upsetting story, and what's worse is that it's far from the only one. AI companies not doing nearly enough to manage the mental health risks associated with the use of chatbots, which without reform is going to emerge as a genuine crisis.

This generation of FF’s ‘going forward’ sound bite for government inefficiency. Funny how the solution is never let’s tax the bejaysus of dereliction and build not for profit housing.

NEW POD ☘️ Golden Era Over? 🙁 Three losses on the bounce to the All Blacks has never felt as worrying as it does right now, so you can expect a variety of thoughts on 2025 Ireland from the lads. Enjoy! 🏉 youtu.be/x1zt4b8allg?...

Gaol would be a kindness He has wealth beyond belief, and he knows the cruelty it's built upon The French didn't build the guillotines because of how prettily the blades glinted in the Parsian sunlight, they built them to check pricks like Bezos The rich should be a lot more afraid than they are.

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Happy Samhain 🔥

By failing to even get nominated for the Presidency while another independent candidate scored a record victory, I have of course been proven right

The Taoiseach is not coming to Dublin Castle for the official declaration of Catherine Connolly's victory in the presidential election. Whether intended or not, it's going to look very confrontational for the head of government NOT to be there to congratulate the new head of state

The home of the O'Donovan family is being used as a polling station in Coolmoyne, Co Tipperary. Around 250 people are eligible to vote at the house and after they cast their ballot, they will be treated to a cup of tea, a slice of apple or rhubarb tart, or a scone | More: rte.ie/b/1540324
