Algae bloom on Blessington Basin 😭

Timeline cleanse

Timeline cleanser!

Find out more about the Cabra station below or attend info stands in Deaf Village until Wednesday. We will be giving feedback - most importantly on the “potential pedestrian link” via Hamilton Gardens. This is vital so people from Faussagh can access the station. @dublincommuters.bsky.social

(Link was bad so I’ve fixed it) The European Commission is accepting feedback on their plans through a form here. Everyone should have their say, as everyone will be affected. But particularly do go back to them if you have expertise in managing sensitive data. ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

Today, in the first action of its kind in Ireland, ICCL will apply to the High Court to launch a class action lawsuit against Microsoft. This case will target the “Real-Time Bidding” (RTB) data breach within Microsoft’s advertising system ➡️ www.independent.ie/business/tec...

Every Wednesday, I do this standing between the falafel and burrito stalls on Broadstone market as the sellers inside of them go 🥺🥺waiting for me to make a call. Looking forward to doing it again tomorrow

Blessington Basin! Dublin 7. Where else would you rather be on a sunny day?

In the days of lovely Twitter I often put out a call for help with research in writing my books. So here goes, Bluskiers. I'm looking for a social worker (adoption/fostering preferably) and a probation officer who worked between 2008 and 2012, the more senior the better. Please share :)

For all the fierce women out there, this is 'Fiercely' 🌼🌼 #trilingual #poetry

This is an absolutely terrifying development. An attack on the rule of law in the USA.

I am so thrilled!!!! Look what Philip sent me. Enjoy nature’s music everyone!

My goodness, extraordinary moment of peace brought by @countrywide on RtÉ radio 1 - wonderful recording of animals enjoying Spring & some poetry í am going to try to track down. Will post it here if I can figure out how to do it. Good work by Philip Boucher Hayes & team!!

I don’t care what your gender is or whether it’s the same one you were assigned with at birth. I care about whether you are a good person, kind to people, the environment & animals. 🌈

Have you emailed your TD yet? 📨 Fossil fuels are driving a major health crisis—killing more people globally than smoking. It’s time Ireland became the first country to ban fossil fuel ads and sponsorship.

Today is 2025-04-13, the sun sets at 19:22:02 (20:22:02 with DST!) and the grand auld stretch tonight was 3 hours, 16 mins and 19 secs. #GrandStretch #SpringStretch

Celebrated by this account! So sold out was the performance that, to accommodate the crowds, men were asked to leave their swords, and women their hoops at home. Swift almost scuppered the performance, other philosophers transported by it. www.irishphilosophy.com/2013/04/13/s... #HandelsMessiah

I was a beekeeper for 21 years, I so miss the honey, but otherwise I'm glad I stopped...

Like delicate cherry blossoms dancing in the spring breeze, our time here is beautiful but brief. Why waste these precious moments building walls when we could be building bridges? Let's pause, breathe deeply, and allow joy to bloom in our hearts like flowers reaching for the sun.

It was a cracker of a day!!!

This is a real shame

The beautifully restored Broadstone depot - why is this not a transport museum??’

Eirí na gréine BÀC 7 - here’s a north inner city jewel in this morning’s mystical sunrise

I steer clear of politics but the message in this article strikes a chord for this blow-in to the northside. No-one polishes the gems in this part of the city, it is a terrible shame

🌱 Proud to feature in this piece on behalf of @irishdocsenv.bsky.social on the #WorldHealthDay.

Well, Spring is truly here. Especially in the tunnel. The first asparagus pushing through...

Me too!! What a great story.

Can we not call anyone the “architect” of a crisis. Thanks 🙏🏻 #ArchitectsAreInnocent

If you live near stamullen County Meath and you want some sunflower seeds I have a few (hundred) to spare. Now is the time to plant them indoors to plant out after the last frost. 🌱 #spéirgorm

Strange things I see in my Dún Laoghaire garden: No idea where this lad came from. He stayed just long enough for me to snap the pic and then flew off. #urbannature #irishnature #speirgorm #spéirgorm

This made me laugh and laugh!
