today’s from Daniel Addercouth creeps up and erupts https://www.havehashad.com/7d0hk

On 4 May 1976 Rosie Hackett died. She was a nationalist, a trade unionist, and a workers' rights activist. She was only 18 when she led workers at Jacob's Biscuits to strike for better conditions. 1/2

This is so gross.

Just got the email that KNEECAP's September show in Berlin has been cancelled. Germany gon' Germany.

Based on the look my Austrian friend gave me when I mentioned “the Hallowe’en coconut” I am guessing the practice of buying one coconut every October was not a universal experience. Was this tradition unique to pre-Celtic Tiger Ireland or does it still happen or what? #speirgorm

"Be honest -do these pants make my gametes look big?"

"You’re the most important thing to me in the world, Josh. That’s why I asked nearly nothing of you in the lead-up to this wedding and asked that Steph, Mary, Clarissa, and Sarah each spend over five thousand dollars on my bachelorette party in Tulum and bridal shower in Greenwich."

It's okay to be not not not not not not not okay✨

When you ask someone if they want to split dessert, and they say "nah, but if you get it, I'll have some." ??? Over my dead body you will.

Apparently it's #NationalPetDay so that's two cat-related posts in a row for me. I'll aim for something hard-hitting or tantalizing tomorrow. Meanwhile, here's Birdie.

When I got a cat I swore I wouldn’t do the whole mama-and-baby dynamic. We would strictly be roomies, friends, gal pals. Turns out I'm the kind of person to give my roommate forehead kisses and tell them they’re the best little angel in the world a dozen times a day and that's FINE.

I really miss when the worst thing about Berlin was gentrification and not the fascist suppression of support for Palestine.

I was about to post about this and then saw I already had this precise thought a month ago. Very cool that I forgot the magic formula for an entire month and got literally no work done in that time, very, very cool.

Lather, rinse, read Amanda Nic an Rí's piece, repeat. jakethemag.com/lather-rinse...

Pretty stoked to have two of my poems up on JAKE today. Missing your mom? Absolutely *not* missing your ex? I got you! Thanks, @publishedbyjake.bsky.social

Always a good evening!

Two Irish citizens ordered to leave Germany over pro-Palestinian protests despite no convictions.

Watercolor of my sister and I in 1990.

Looking forward to getting cosy at @lettretage.de and enjoying the @saloneurope.bsky.social readings this evening.

When your anti-literary crush JAKE wants to publish your poetry next month.

We're doing a lil improvised, sing-a-long Little Shop of Horrors in Berlin this weekend. Can't wait playing the role that inspired my (persisting!) dentist phobia.

What a weekend at @edimprovfest.bsky.social ! Always a blast to perform there and a real treat to catch sets from Convoy, Asian AF and Old Yorkers.

It happened to me: I took a gulp of old coffee instead of cola

Dreamed I was playing with a huge, New York rat 😊 Awoke to Earth's continued demise and no rat 😣

Art's the best.

Roses are red, Violets are purple, let's be real.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Arts & crafts are there 4 u

As a kid, I adored Valentines –the paper hearts, DIY cards, pink envelopes... Looking back, maybe I just loved stationery.

Big Pharma doesn't want you to know this but the solution to your undiagnosed ADHD is cracking a can of Monster Energy Zero and listening to Tycho.

Cat tongues. The horror.

A protester unfurled a combined Palestinian and Sudanese flag on the field during Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime performance. The NFL said in a statement that the person was part of the 400-member field cast. nyti.ms/3CVV6Au

This coffee shop is playing Cake and dang, everytime I hear Cake it reminds me I need to listen to more Cake. Also great subliminal messaging because now I also want a sweet treat.

First book of the year down, and it's also my first Stephen King book ever. I'd had a bee in my bonnet about wanting Carrie to be my first.

Oof, I make one little throwaway comment about kissing on here two weeks ago and come back to a feed that's a fifth full of smooch content.

I have this same goal but with kissing!

Just had a post-midnight, well-timed read of a new story from @ruralunease.bsky.social

Kneecap win legal action against the U.K. gov, and will donate the previously withheld arts funding to youth groups in Belfast. www.irishtimes.com/culture/musi...

Yeah well, you know, that's just like your opinion, man.

Happy Péché day. (Where my beer heads at?)

When are chapped lips going to be 'in'?

I just stepped on my cat's paw and she made the worst sound I ever heard and hid from me and I feel so, SO guilty and she finally just came over and let me give her a little pet. 😭😭😭😭

Why would I want to bother separating the art from the artist when I can just have different art from better artists

Do the blue-light glasses I ordered from the internet actually prevent eye strain? Probably not. But do they make me feel more studious and therefore better at concentrating? Absolutely.

I'm not trying to steal Old Dry Keith's thunder, but I'll have you know that in 2010, I did have a short-lived blog called Blandwiches.

How long do we have to wait for the "cute and available" starter packs? 👀

Listen, I'm never going to *not* try the dill pickle lollipop.

It's been a real bender of an improv weekend –four shows since Thursday and each more fun than the last. Very grateful to have @comedycb.bsky.social as my second home in Berlin and letting me get silly on stage. Best picklebacks in town, too.

Delighted to have my piece published on Lost Balloon. Check it out!

I just think every bar should have a stack of printed out crosswords by the door. BYOP.

Summer of heavy fucking sighs
