Friday night in the countryside, my 10th Wedding anniversary and I find myself attending the local AmDram production!

heating up the leftovers I don’t want to eat

I’ll take “All the winning’ for $500 Alex.

31 years ago today, when we were but nippers, I first met my husband across a crowded dance floor in Shaft (a long gone gay club in a basement in Ely Place where the Ely Wine Bar is now.). 10 Years ago today I got to marry him. Happy anniversary @markkipper.bsky.social #lgbt #speirgorm 🎊🤵💍🤵🎊

OMG it gets better... he wants to fit all knives with a GPS tracker... www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

Oh well done everyone. I am sure this completely throws their summer holiday plans into chaos. Enact the Occupied Territories Bill Now!

ireland is shockingly bad here, but the amount of natural forest is closer to 1% most "forest" in ireland is just tree plantations, clear cut when there's "bioeconomy" money to be made – an absolute desert in terms of biodiversity putting space aside for nature to regrow is the only solution

(Pushes steak around plate with a spoon)

Today is World Environment Day but in short order we've been hit by news of a new major fish kill, taken to court by EU over continued illegal turf cutting, singled out as UN example of what not to do when it comes to data centres & falling short on climate action targets We can do better than this

Sherlocks of #speirgorm, what have I captured on my wildlife camera here just in front of my pond? It’s moving fast so the image is blurred. I’m leaning toward a fox, but could it be an otter?

LET WOMEN HAVE HOBBIES

When the UN releases a report stating that your country offers a cautionary tale about how absolutely not to do something... that's bad... right? www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

I have just identified a bird singing in our back garden as a plaintive cuckoo! This has filled me with unimaginable glee.

If the car is to scrapped why does it have to have an NCT? This isn’t environmentally friendly. A car that meets NCT reqs is much more environmentally friendly to keep on the road even if it’s petrol or diesel than buying a new car which is the most environmentally destructive thing anyone can do.

A beautiful mural honoring three Irish voices has been unveiled in Dublin. The mural, by artist Aches, features the late Dolores O'Riordan, Sinéad O'Connor and Dolores Keane.

Reminder you still can't avail of the bike to work scheme if unemployed, retired a student etc etc

Lol... seems like @kristiankiehling.bsky.social doesn't like his bullshit posts about Ireland being responded to by Irish people. I think I must be the 10th person he's blocked today. With any luck he'll have blocked the lot of us by COB. Snowflake.

I mean 6,000 year old dead man's stomach sourdough is a niche product line ngl....

The Ukranian government has issued this statement on Ireland supplying Russian aluminium plants. They plainly aren't buying the BS being sold by ministers here. It's also attracting a lot of international coverage, just to add to the cringe.

I'm obsessed with this 18th Century signature. Look at it. Ridiculous. (I'm still not 100% sure, but I think it says Sam Wilding)

The very last episode of the Late Late Show I ever watched.

It’s Pride 🏳️‍🌈 Spare one repost for a small creator? 🥺 My science and sci fi pins raise money for homeless LGBTQ+ people. Just sent another £800 to @aktcharity.bsky.social bringing total to £47,521 New for Pride 2026: 🌈Scientist🌈 🏳️‍🌈🐥🦜🦅🏳️‍🌈 🌈pronouns🌈 www.jamiebgall.co.uk/shop

The inexorable rise of private medicine subsidised by the public system continues unabated in Ireland. FFG are not only turning a blind eye to this, they are tacitly advancing it. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

This is basically the problem we face. After years of claiming it wasn't real, finally we get to the real issue. These people know climate change is real, but they crucially DO NOT CARE. They know they will be dead long before the worst effects are felt, and so they see no reason to change.

😬

The Onion produced this as Satire less than 3 years ago. It is now reality.

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

10,000 dead. Billions in cost. He’s bored.

Friends...it's the start of Pride Month, so I'd like you to meet the amazing ribbon eel. Ribbon eels (likely) all start out male & then all become female later in life. And they rock both ways.

Wow

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

One-off rural housing is a disaster for rural Ireland so of course he's for it. Why is the local shop in bother? Why are local pubs closing down? Why is public transportation so shite? Why is there a loneliness epidemic for elderly people? People who aren't farming should live in towns and villages.

this hasan piker ban is so funny. brits really said 'if you can't respect our customs (genocide), then you're not welcome' 😭

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

It's not hyperbole. New EA2010 Statutory Code says those who think gay sex is a sin may not have negative attitudes to gay people and "gender criticals" may not have negative attitudes to trans people. It could be discrimination to stereotype them.😟 assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6a0de6...

Struggling to afford food? Why not just buy garbage instead!

This! Search engines started locking up a few years ago, and casual searchers still don't appear to be noticing. But if you've been using any of the power search tools the last few decades, the complete disappearance of the internet is obvious and alarming!

Wild to be entering Pride with the UK government insisting that telling gay people they’re going to hell isn’t homophobic

The dog on the street would tell you three things. (1) Nobody wants that football match to go ahead (2) We need big, brave , creative and NEW ideas to sort out the housing crisis. (3) The overwhelming majority of Irish people value our neutrality. Pity the dog isn’t leading us. #Speirgorm

Nobody to blame but themselves. The greatest act of antisemitism has been committed by Israel itself. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

Governor Beckwith needs to read a book on The Crusades if he would like to hear about a demonic death cult. Or the inquisition. Or the plantation of Ireland. Or the conquest of the Incas. All Christians speeding others path to the afterlife. These people are so terminally stupid and ignorant.

All this has done is enable bigots to bully strangers in public

This won’t solve the housing problem and comes at a huge cost to both to the environment and at a massive financial cost to the taxpayer. All of those dwellers will want the same services as those living in sustainable communities from sewage to schools.

Make. It. HAPPEN!
