It would appear that they asked the right person!

Thanks to a wave of online orders yesterday, we’ve gone from no hope of making rent to having rent within our grasp! We pay rent today and we’re only a few hundred away now! Less than 10 sales could get us over the line! littledeercomics.ie

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.

Setting fire to a building when people, children, are inside should be investigated like it's an attempted murder because that's what it fucking is.

She’s just fantastic!

Just woke up, first thing I did - check @gavreilly.com for the spreadsheet. Essential in any Irish election #Áras25 🗳️

Up and out to the polls early before work for me. There was always only one choice for me. For balance, integrity, consistency, pride and fairness - it’s Catherine Connolly #Spéirghorm #Áras25

I actually gave @phlaimeaux.bsky.social a big round of applause, while sitting at traffic lights when he finally worked out the “H” that he might like on today’s #WhatDidYouDoYesterday episode! And yes @maxrushden.bsky.social I was one of those people shouting out the answers in my car 🤣

New introduction for new followers. I’m Marc & this is Master Pippin. By day, I produce LEGO® Bluey & LEGO® DUPLO® Marvel apps for little kids. (Best job ever.😉) By Dawn, we walk the shore & capture ireland’s incredible sunrises. Come with us? Pls share if you enjoy what we do? #ireland

Personally, I’ll be there with bells on. Ignoring all of the distractions and voting for the independent candidate. That’s how you use a vote 🗳️ You should only use yours for whichever of the 2 candidates you feel will make a better president. #Aras25

I really can’t believe that I have to point out that spoiling your vote is not the protest you may think it is. It’s not a kick in the eye to the government - in fact it plays into their hands! If you really don’t want either candidate as our President, better to stay away from the polls. #Aras25

Here’s Jenny Maguire, the first trans woman elected to be President of the Student’s Union at Trinity College, Dublin, recommending voting for Catherine Connolly, the inclusive president we need! Jen is sound! #Aras25

How lovely is #LeonardAndHungryPaul ?? I absolutely loved the book by @ronanhession.bsky.social and the TV adaptation is the perfect balm to watch at the end of the week in our chaotic world. Fair play Rónán, you have created something gorgeous that deserved this other life👏 Can’t wait for next week

Sometimes I make videos of moments I simply think are calm and beautiful. And I don’t always bother sharing them because, well, it’s troublesome & I think people might find them boring? But here….

Bertie’s gonna be RAGING? #Aras25

Which is why there should be flotillas every week of the year.

Manchán 🕯️

I’m very sad at the news about Manchán Magan. He was such a gentle treasure. A few years ago he was giving out lesser used words as Gaeilge to people to take care of and use. I got MAIGHRE, which he described as someone being “a bit of a stunner”. He was an absolute maighre himself, gone too soon.

Gaze upon Cleo and her elegant ways … and you want to smile, read the alt text 👌

Big bualadh bos to whatever “mad bastard” managed this. And on this weekend too👌 This is why I still love Dublin. Long may it fly there 🇵🇸 #FreePalestine

Kneecap’s Mo Chara sits down for world first interview after terror charge dropped. “Better luck next time Keir,” says the rapper - who says he’s considering legal action against the British state over damage to reputation and loss of earnings over court hearings. @virginmedianews.bsky.social

Ooh, this one looks like a great event. LOVE Chris Whitaker’s books. Right, am I free on this date 🤔 #Booksky #MurderOneFest2025

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

I think my car may be trolling CMAT 😱 Some weird glitch caused this image to appear when I was listening to her earlier. #CMAT #EUROCOUNTRY

I haven’t been able to read properly for months. Poor attention span! But I’ve missed it. This beautiful book though - read with the sound of the sea crashing onto the County Clare coast is reeling me back in! First Hugo Hamilton for me & it’s gorgeous. Thanks Hugo and @kennysbookshop.bsky.social

Same 🥺

Lovely interview with one of the great, kind, balanced people out there. I love her kind heart and intelligence as much as her naughty stories 🤩 And I fully agree on Lynn Ruane. We would be lucky to have her represent us.

Well, SOMEONE mourns the wicked

Predictions for tonight's #TraitorIRL Paudie gets confused and accidentally comes down to breakfast in his Traitor robe. The Faithful still vote out Joanna

Looking for a new series that you won’t be able to put down? I LOVED this series and am sitting on my hands waiting for more! #Castleby #Suspense #Booksky

Just saw #TheLifeOfChuck what a beautiful movie it is. I will forever love Stephen King but Mike Flanagan’s movie leaves us all wanting to dance. When Sarah made this gorgeous face to Chuck, I immediately recognised her. Has Mia Sara lived in the universe inside my head since the 80’s??? Perhaps!

They really do seem to be all crawling out from under rocks for this election. It’s getting embarrassing at this stage.

Ah Janey, sad to hear this. Bernadette in Priscilla Queen of the Desert will forever be one of my favourite characters with possibly my favourite line from a movie, ever. Among many great lines.

Sickening. On recognition of Palestine state by other countries, the Israeli Finance Minister clearly identifies Israel’s aim that, “There will be nothing to recognise No one to recognise” Now say it’s not about ethnic cleansing, genocide, in breach of international law www.bbc.com/news/article...

Having read a few threads on this. This seems to be a very balanced response & explanation of the Polari Prize story. Completely agree that we should be hearing from the authors who chose to leave as well as John. Total respect to people for taking a stand and solidarity, as always with trans people

What gif pops up when you type in your name? Only the most famous/hilarious Aisling of our tribe 🤩

Highly recommend #TheOpheliaMurders I very much enjoyed it earlier this year.

On a day when the world has even more sucky news than we have been having lately….. I present you with a timeline cleanse. Come on, let’s hear you …. Biiiiiiiiig stretch 🐾

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

So essentially denying the human right to exist in public or ever potentially need a toilet outside of their own home. Not a good look UK, not quite as far from Afghanistan as they’d like to think! My heart breaks for trans people living this. #TransRightsAreHumanRights 🏳️‍⚧️

Well this was a joy to listen to on a bank holiday Sunday. Filling me with lovely memories of seeing Tim live last month. I love the way his mind works! For @timminchin.bsky.social fans or David Duchovny fans for that matter and those of us that sit in the overlap of the venn diagram there 😉

British doctor comes back from Gaza and confirms two things we knew: 1- the Israelis *specifically* confiscate formula feed to starve children 2- there is a clear pattern in gun shot wounds pointing to the fact that IDF soldiers are playing games hunting humans. www.instagram.com/reel/DMm03Kp...

Ten authors by whom I’ve read more than 5 books. - Stephen King - Michael Connelly - Elly Griffiths - Jane Casey - Armistead Maupin - Alice Oseman - William Shaw - Hazel Gaynor - Fredrik Backman - J. M. Simpson There are more but there’s 10 for you 😃 #AmReading #Booksky #GreatAuthors

Janey’s legacy 🫶

View to a kill. Report: @sallyhayd.bsky.social

I don’t know how many more of these horrific stories I can take - and I’m very aware that’s absolutely nothing compared to actually living in this hell we’re all complicit in allowing to continue. So many absolutely needless deaths.

I was volunteering at the National Gallery today and we had visitors coming in specifically to see this beautiful portrait of Sinéad on her anniversary. ❤️ By Hugh O’Conor.

Love the dogs of the week…. Take a moment to smile / giggle at these cuties 🥰
