When literally nobody is trying to censor you:

The last episode of the first season of the Limerick's Life podcast will be coming out at the beginning of October. You can catch up on out previous episodes here, or wherever you get your podcasts. shows.acast.com/limericks-li...

Clearing sites = stripping out all vegetarian, especially native. Goats are living, walking ecocidal strimmers.

It's all made out of blubber extracted from whales killed by windfarms and feathers from eagles killed by electric bikes.

Kaleb Horton on the 1976 Chowchilla school bus kidnapping, in which three wealthy wastrels kidnapped 26 children and their driver and buried them alive (article from 2021)

Millions of years from now the intelligent descendants who evolved from here will still be trying to live this down.

They might look amazing, but on a per head basis, feral goats are THE most ecologically destructive herbivore in Ireland. These are ecosystem killers par *excellence*.

RIP Kaleb Horton kalebhorton.ghost.io/2025-so-far/

In 2005 I spent 5 months in Ecuador investigating oil extraction. Around then German bank WestLB funded a new Andes pipeline despite past spills. What I saw was shocking and mostly unseen. This 2022 video shows just one example of repeated spills poisoning rivers and communities.

This is brilliant! @brenttoderian.bsky.social @thewaroncars.bsky.social

It doesn't matter if you're into food and restaurants, this is a must-read on the importance of fact-checking and subject-matter experts (and a mini exposé on how a particular food enterprise in Dublin is capitalising on its absence in Irish media). www.allthefood.ie/single-post/...

There's a Slough House podcast, but for some reason it's called Barbican Station, and not The Adoration Of The Lamb. #SlowHorses

Maria Steen: Edgelady. #speirgorm

📺 Watch it back: Rewilding in Ireland 🌱 Feat. Eoghan Daltun @irishrainforest.bsky.social Mary Reynolds @wearetheark.bsky.social Pádraic Fogarty @whittledaway.bsky.social 🔗 youtu.be/j8X8bD8GmGA?... @irishenvnet.bsky.social #Rewilding

Three good talks on the state (pejorative) of rewilding in Ireland #spéirghorm

The US is now seeking to open the door to shark culling to protect the fragile egos of sport fishermen from the competition of local wildlife. This is disgraceful, especially the fact that Democratic Senator @schatz.bsky.social has co-sponsored this repulsive, ecologically illiterate bill.

Great blog by Jonathon Porritt where he expresses admiration for young activists, and the "radical kind of kinship" they manifest for future generations. I'd say that a "radical kind of kinship" also extends to other life forms - now and in the future... jonathonporritt.com/cop30-climat...

Vibes & Scribes shops donate gross profits from tomorrow Saturday's sales to @msf.ca

They're not fooling around.

OK Commuter.

‘Twas the month before Halloween, and through the long nights, Not a faerie was stirring, they stayed out of sight, The púca’s portion was no longer left in the field, Folk had forgotten the nightmare was real . . . But this Halloween, he will make them remember. #Halloween #Samhain #SpeirGorm

Brit Card? More like Acquit Chairde. #speirgorm

Donal Fallon includes Norah Hoult here, citing writer John Broderick on how censorship had stolen a livelihood from Hoult: “She died with nothing except the old-age pension and was a most distinguished writer. She ended up in great poverty, and nobody bothered their heads about it.” archive.ph/rVmKZ

Our private messages should stay private. In a world where autocrats attack #FreeSpeech, Europe must protect our right to privacy. #ChatControl would force platforms like WhatsApp or Signal to scan every message and photo we send. That’s not security. It’s surveillance. 🎥 @marketkag.bsky.social

For real, it's Crowley Time! Episode 39: The DiPoni Contingency, as seen live on stages throughout the land, is on your podcast app and at crowleytime.com NOW! What happened to Marco DiPoni? Find out with Gemma Arrowsmith and Paul Putner! @mmaarrow.bsky.social @realpaulputner.bsky.social

Is this the MOST Halloween book you'll ever read? Maybe, but it IS set around the Irish hill where the bonefires were first lit. It is a story about the very roots of Halloween; the horror, mythology, and the harvest festival that lies between life and death. #Halloween #Samhain #Tlachtga #SpeirGorm

New comic: "Can’t stop" badmachinery.com/comic/2025-0...

My latest, for the @irishexaminer.bsky.social: How the coverage of Charlie Kirk's killer has seen once-trusted news outlets abandon factchecking for transphobia in the rush for online clicks. Available today in print and online: www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Disappointing that rather than reach out and offer support Cllr Carthy is lashing out at those who are…we need to put politics aside to fix the issue at hand. Thanks to both @rodericogorman.bsky.social and @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social for their tangible and very real support.

Y'know, if Maria Steen had been nominated it'd be months of serious both-sides questions about migrant trans woke climate activists eating our swans and molesting our peat fires, let's not get sniffy if this is the alternative. #speirgorm

In Ireland, 10 years before this event took place, the biggest case of government corruption took place and there still hasn't been any consequences for the perpetrators. In fact, one of them is in the current government. #Moriarty

In one of the strangest chapters of my life, I spent several months in the trenches of Big Headlight, looking to understand just how and why headlights became brighter than the sun. Answers, graphs, penis sketches—it's all here, on the brand new Ringer site: www.theringer.com/2024/12/03/t...

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

The world should be going all in on a clean energy race.

Loughrea in Galway becomes the lastest water body to suffer acute poisoning. People warned not to swim or let their dogs near the water. www.galwaybeo.ie/news/galway-...

This is a 'small' lignite mine on the former GDR border, the scar is so deep and wide. With it's own cloud ceiling in the morning. 150Mt CO2 emitted and it still emits by sitting there with exposed, once sequestered carbon. Burning stuff is the past. Don't live in the past.

Ink studies I made based on the paintings of Caspar David Freidrich (1774-1840). I started these inks back in 2023; it'd been several years since I'd drawn regularly, and I was feeling stuck as to how I could get back into the swing of creating. (cont)

Don’t let the internet fool you. I was at a protest for trans kids yesterday an HOUR south of Seattle, and it was HUGE. And there was a cacophony of drivers beeping in support. I could not believe it. Because I spend too much online and figured it’s a lost cause.

More than three-quarters of planet Earth’s life support systems are no longer in the safe zone, experts warn.

I remember Paulina’s predictions 25 years ago about where our thinskinned, antisocial tech elite were headed. She was right. She’s now living in precarity in Oakland while Ezra Klein, Bari Weiss, & Steven Levy cash their oligarch flattery shares. Read her work. Support her living expenses.

“An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients.” What an absolutely incredible, joyous achievement for everyone involved. Hurrah for science and scientists! www.bbc.com/news/article...

She looks like the actress playing the woman who lead a campaign to ban jazz in the 1930s. #speirgorm #Aras25

Another small stab in the heart of a dying planet as the EU caves in to pressure and delays... again, its deforestation law. www.politico.eu/article/eu-d...

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: I have received an Agility Award grant from @artscouncilireland.bsky.social to make a short film! This is the first time I've ever received funding for any of my projects so I feel extremely privileged. Expect to see YOUR HORIZONTAL HOLD IS GONE in 2026.
