Theres no more feeling of powerlessness than knowing that someone you love is in pain and there's nothing you can do about it. There's so much sadness and awfulness in the world, it's really difficult to not submit to despair.

Amazingly I found every piece of jewelry on the road, like you would think you would lose at least one earring or something. @donnairl.bsky.social

Last night I filled my hot water bottle got into bed next thing I could feel moisture & heat on my leg, I didn't tighten the cap properly. Thankfuĺly i'd added a cup of cold water to it otherwise I think I would have got a nasty burn, so PSA don't fill ur bottle with boiling water & tighten cap.

The rest of the casting for this looks excellent too imho, exactly how I imagined the characters.

I listened to this a while back & thought it was v funny, sad & sweet. I really liked all the characters. I'm actually glad I listened to it rather than reading it cause I really enjoyed listening to Elle Fanning read it. Just saw it has been made into a series with Elle Fanning as Margo. #BookSky

Cork citys phone & vape quarter is coming on really well 😉

Ok so im from NYC where we hava a history of coopertive property ownership. Similar to a condo but we all own shares in the company that owns the property instead od a company that you have no stake in. Is it possible to form cooperatives to buy these properties? From the government? 🧵 #speirgorm

#Irish President Catherine Connolly advocating for peace & international law: "The violations of international law we are witnessing are shocking and numbing...They are deliberate assaults on international law...We must name them as such, without euphemism and without equivocation" #SpéirGhorm

Also listened to this, such an excellent song open.spotify.com/track/2bsgmN...

Kingfishr's new song the Blade is amazing. The lyrics are really affecting. Felt all the feelings listening to it on my way home tonight. Life would be empty without music. #Spéirgorm #SpéirGorm

Also after eating chinese she said she had a food baby & then she rubbed her belly & went actually twins 😂😂😂

My niece cracked me up this eve, my family brought out a birthday cake for me (did not know this was happening) but anyway I hesitated just before blowing out the candles (as an overthinking wanted to make my wish count so I had to think about it 😂) just at the moment I started blowing my niece

This card made me cry, it's lovely being your nieces bestie 💖

Was just telling @omgitsagirl2015.bsky.social that I had a cadbury creme egg for breakfast cause it's my birthday 😂 & then added that I had some toast too & he asked me if I dunked it in the creme egg 😂 why did that seem gross to me when I ate them 1 after another & they all end up in your belly?!😂

I actually forgot today was my birthday until my niece just texted me right now to say happy birthday lol 😂 you know you are getting old when you start forgetting its your birthday.

I read Vladamir a few yrs back & just saw it has been made into a netflix series, was just trying to remember what happens in it & just remember being like what? at the end 😂 & some of my books here, I love #books with complex women, just started humming that song "and i'm too messy". #booksky

This law to increase rents has had the completely foreseen side effect of also increasing evictions (so the landlords can put up rents). www.thejournal.ie/your-stories...

Promised him the next time I see him I won't talk about the weather 😂 #Spéirgorm #SpéirGorm

I had a hosp appt this morn & I called to a garage that I regularly go to for coffee, the guy who works there always chats to me now anyway this morn as I was getting my coffee I was like "the rain is awful isn't it?" He was like u are the 9th person to say that to me & it's not even 8 😂 #SpéirGorm

I was just really getting into my audio book & then spotify was like "you are out of listening hours" & i'm dying to know what happens 😭 think i'm gonna have to go to the library & get a physical copy of my book. Listening to "Kala".

My niece is so sweet every morning she sends me a cute animal video. Today I got one of a cute hamster. 😊

He is so right that it is normal to be distressed by what is happening in the world that it would be more worrying if you didn't care. And what he said about sitting with people in their pain being the most honest conversation you will ever have.

Just listening to Niall Breslin on RTE radio 1, it's really powerful, i'm actually crying listening to it. He is so right about life not being linear and how you can easily be knocked off your feet & that no one really escapes suffering. #Spéirgorm

Don’t think I could love her more. Turns out … #speirgorm

Tremendous piece on a subject most Irish people never even give a thought to, but has huge impact on so many immigrants’ lives. Please read and share #speirghorm

Coming in November from @brisunipress.bsky.social, In the Aftermath of Empire explores the impact of British imperialism on gender and sexuality law in four jurisdictions. Please tell your libraries to pre-order! bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/in-the-after...

Outrageous. Irish households are paying some of the highest electricity bills in Europe, while big tech companies get a free ride from their mates in government. #SpeirGorm

I had counselling today and, I feel really dysregulated after. It's really difficult work. I feel like I want to run away from myself but unfortunately I cannot because i'm attached to myself. I wish I could climb out of my body and go somewhere but i'm not sure where.

A public park would be amazing! #Spéirgorm #Cork #DerelictIreland

Sometimes the best urban solutions are right there in front of us Sometimes we might have to remove the barriers so everyone can see them #SpeirGorm

I'm seeing loads of houses for rent on Daft from March 1st stating a one year lease. That would be illegal under the new legislation no? #Speirgorm

I have recently started to try #writing again and i'm discovering how therapeutic it is for me, someone (pretty cool) read my story & gave me some lovely feedback & it's made me week, it's so difficult to judge your own writing #Spéirgorm

Also, please support the disability community, if you can, at this march on Saturday #disability #speirgorm

#Spéirgorm #Spéirghorm Just posted a #shortstory on substack called "Crown Shyness" so scary sharing but anyway it was inspired by a photo shared by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social (on the other place back in the day) and lived experience so anyway here's a link substack.com/@hannahosull...

FFS. Co living, a nightmare. Are single people infantalised? Or just conveniently as part of the manufactured housing crisis. Suspect both. People want to be independent, live privately and if they choose to live with someone that's their business, I mean family. #speirgorm
