Terrible idea to start 'Home For Christmas' season 3 at this hour of the night. I need some anti histamines, stat!

my latest in The Ditch. Ireland is not immune to foreign interference, but it comes in many guises, not just from state actors. and it won't always be this clumsy

I haven’t even looked at half of Josep Goded’s posts over the past 24 hours and I’m STUNNED at the number of Israeli attacks on civilians in the West Bank and Gaza‼️😭🤬 And, the world looks away and govts do NOTHING to stop Israel, & even aid and abet THE TERRORIST STATE OF ISRAEL IN ITS GENOCIDE ‼️ 🇵🇸🇵🇸

Lovely. Some prick in his Mam's spare room tried to take on a qualified woman: www.thejournal.ie/online-troll.... Sad for him and his complete lack of dignity.

Very disappointing: www.thejournal.ie/bill-to-ban-...

The Venn diagram between people who say vaccines don't work because one person they know got sick anyway and gun laws don't work because Australia had their first deadly mass shooting in 29 years, is a perfect circle. It's an anti-science, anti-common sense, anti-humanity, dangerous cult.

It is absolutely ridiculous that there is no rail link between Rosslare and Waterford: www.thejournal.ie/rail-review-...

And the Harris & Martin Laugh-In we call a government take another step to the Far Right, joining Hungary and Slovakia, and without any meaningful public debate. #speirghorm

The biggest threat to social cohesion is the lack of affordable housing NOT immigration. Immigrants are not paying 1M€ plus for a mediocre end of terrace 3 bed in Rathfarnham. They’re not buying fancy apartments around Dublin. We need to invest in social/affordable housing or we are fucked.

Really want to go to bed, cat is stretched across my ankle. I need Youtube music vids.

Today is 2025-12-12, the sun sets at 16:05:44 and the grand auld stretch tonight was 00 mins and 1 sec. #GrandStretch #GrandDrawingIn

www.thejournal.ie/charlie-mcge... I'm not a Eurovision fan, but this is hands down my favourite winning song (sorry, Johnny Logan; 'Hold Me Now' is second and 'Hard Rock Halleluiah' is third). Fair play to Charlie Mc Gettigan.

This is fucking ridiculous. This is up there with pedestrians and cyclists should wear high vis vests if they don't want to be mown down. Maybe the onus should be on the fecking drivers to slow down and not be looky loos?: www.thejournal.ie/sensitive-en...

I am getting very sick of my insurance company's hold music.

Good Lord Above, I can't get to work tomorrow, thanks to some fault on the Luas. I was ages getting in today and ages getting back. There is no fecking bus route that properly replicates the bloody Luas. Maybe Dublin Bus should get on that?

I have made it to my Luas stop, just about. Deeply regretting my decision not to craft a nest for myself in the office.

Absolutely fucking ridiculous: www.thejournal.ie/nitrates-der...

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: my.uplift.ie/petitions/pe... @uplift.ie

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. GRMA! www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

www.thejournal.ie/tuam-mother-... The Mother and Baby Home where I came from is now covered in a housing estate. I often wonder how many infants are buried under those nice semi Ds. They keep trying to cover the grounds of Bessborough in Cork with housing. But we don't know what's down there.

St. Cuthbert of Lindisfarne is the patron saint of otters. He would stand waist-deep in the North Sea during his nightly prayer vigils, and according to the story, two otters would come and warm his feet with their breath and dry them with their fur. Art my own. #ArtAdventCalendar #Folklore

Behold the Goblin and the Weasel. @moarchampers.bsky.social

Other countries: Lapland: Come and visit Santa and his reindeer! Czech Republic: Come and visit Wenceslas Square! Ireland: We killed Santa. Would you like to see his grave?

We got seagulled this morning. 1 of the 2 bins out. As I was on my way to work, I asked himself to go out, scoop up the detritus and fix up the tear with some sellotape. He did so. They still didn't lift the bins. Greyhound, you have pissed off the wrong woman. In 2 weeks I will take the day off.

Elusive void.

@annstapleton.bsky.social I have no idea how to slide into your DMs cos I suck at social media, so public it is! I said to G just heard from Ann, when was the last time we saw that face? He said too long. I know, I know, Christmas, but hit us up in January. It has genuinely been too long.

Anyone with any (house) insurance knowledge on here willing to help me? If you slide into my DMs, I promise you pics of an enormous floofy ginger, an extremely elusive tiny void and a tortie that belongs on the Only Fans of tummies! Quid pro quo, Clarice.

In my youth I worked in a cash and carry. I have never been as fit and thin. Scale up three shelves, I would estimate at least four times my five foot one height. Wrestle a ten kg box of Persil over your shoulder, drop it down to colleague. Yeah.

Oh! So

The tortie (2ish) is 100% Jane Seymour. No one fucking liked her, apart from Henry. Pitch your tent to a better queen!

I am a bit odd. I am obsessed with witches and the six wives of Henry VIII of England. No, none of them were witches, contrary to popular opinion. No one is a witch. I am channelling the cats and I think oldest boy 12?ish is C of Aragon. The middle child (9?) must be Anne of Cleves because reasons.

@8radioireland.bsky.social Well, that was a lovely little 90s interlude! I saw Tricky at some Feile or other. Timeless classics. 'Picture me giving a damn? I said NEVER'.

What sort of unmitigated ghoul is running this country? It beggars belief. www.thejournal.ie/justice-mini...

This is an insane abuse of power. The United States acting against a European judge to protect their genocidal protégé in the Middle East, and Europe is doing nothing anout it. www.thenational.scot/news/2563997...

Ok but this is totally something Charlotte Church would do

It's important to boycott Uber. They will use the drones that killed children, who stood in line for flour, to deliver your food order. Do not use Uber. For anything.
