A special night celebrating the first college grad of our kids GTL st Patrick's cathedral/ daruma Japanese restaurant

I've seen #projecthailmary twice, loved it, new family fav but the audiobook 🥰 oh I'm enjoying it so much, it's funny & touching & so nerdy (No thanks, I don't know what's wrong with it, just like I don't want to know what's wrong with Dr who or trek) So far, 50% in, I recommend

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

We had to rename a rescue because our very literal, then 3yr, kept saying 'dat not tiger, dat doggie'

And once again, a personal appeal if anyone knows a hay supplier in any county around Dublin/Wicklow, I’ve lost mine for the coming months (rain crisis) and only have about a 3,week supply left for a small equine herd 😳

a likely lad in his 80s at a funeral receiving line recently said to the widow 'i'm tom, I went out with your friend Mary when we were kids', she replied 'my sis Joan too, but not me' he winked & said 'there's still time' She burst out laughing, her son thanked him & said she hasn't laughed in wks

A marvel of a paragraph

Ireland 🤝 Iceland Being a modern secular island nation (in the North Atlantic Ocean) but still rerouting public works so as not to disturb the fey, just in case.

Quoting this, as per the law

A DISCWORLD PRIMER* *or, why should I read this thing that everyone keeps going on about? Come on in, sit down, pull up a chair. If you have followup questions, feel free to ask me or @ankhmorporkcity.watch, we're always happy to help. (1/a lot, idk, we'll figure this out as we go)

I'm sitting outside in my v messy, dandelion covered lawn, listening to bees buzz buzz buzzing all around me, birds twittering, Ireland in the sunshine is truly heaven #speirgorm (I know, I'm lucky, I'm v grateful)

Stamp doodle logo for the @cnagaeilge.bsky.social AthGhaelú campaign "to encourage people to use Irish placenames instead of English placenames in all aspects of life." They've also created a Gealltanas Logainmneacha "to encourage individuals and groups to use Irish-only placenames" #SpéirGhorm

Made Carbonara with duck eggs - I'm now a kitchen goddess, bow down

after an inspiring @tommytiernan.bsky.social interview I am following @sweeneyagonistes.bsky.social on substack for his gorgeous use of words Sweeney Agonistes saturdaynightwaltz.substack.com?r=6ie0ms&utm...

On a tube platform, early 90s, train pulls in & the carriage is empty but there is a backpack on a seat, transport police arrive & stop us from getting on, they go in, 1 goes towards it & uses his radio aerial to raise the top flap, other behind him shouts 'bang' & I think the 1st 1 shat himself

@realfollowers.bsky.social Can u count please? Curious

A proper focus on a green transition. We've completely lost our way - what littlecway we had. Spain. UK. Miles ahead. Not sorting this out will lead to more of this bs down the line.

You can probably support the working class and demand support for people who are struggling because of capitalist inequality and also not pretend massively bigoted rhetoric and action isn't happening or being Trojan-horsed in under the guise of taking down those in power, by the way. Just a thought.

Omg read this - to the very last post, it is worth it #iceland is truly our sister country #speirgorm

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Happy Sheela's Day 🎉

Second #stpatricksday parade, thar barr

In advance of #stpatricksday, here's a thread of essential articles about Irish stuff which you can present to international friends who wish to understand us better. First up: a tale of two Taytos, by Róisín Lanigan. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/culture/4005...

Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh As we celebrate our most iconic immigrant I am hoping every parade in the country has a series of colourful immigrant groups sharing the joy of living here - because though we are not perfect, I wouldn't live anywhere else #lafeilepadraig #stpatricksday

First #stpatricksday parade down! Political float, band, dress up, tractors & international st Patrick - perfect Pints now

Lol @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social calling Peppa pig a prick is lighting up my Sunday morning bus trip to #limerick

Did it pay off did it, all your cheering for the english

I'm shattered after that match! Hard luck for #ireland but you couldn't ask for more from #fraveng #m6n was a wild rollercoaster ride this year Absolutely cannot wait for the #w6n next month! #speirgorm

Love this, looking forward to the weekend

Having stuff like the Triple Crown in the Six Nations is adorable. Aw you didn't win the competition by winning 5 matches? Here's a trophy for winning 3 specific matches. Couldn't win 3? Here's a trophy for winning 1! I started typing this before seeing there are 10 trophies on offer. Bloody hell.

The world hasn't been right from when he left it. magazine.gcn.ie/articles/181... Miss you still dear friend, the world makes so much less sense and it's harder to bear with out you to talk it all over with. #gnuJonHanna #spéirgorm #queer

Empty vessels get attention when they make noise. So this is a good day to contact your local public reps and let them know that, contrary to what three weirdos say on the internet, you have no problem with drag queens - and add politely that you will have a problem with TDs pandering to bigotry

I keep meeting people from the Northside suburbs who tell they're afraid to go into the City Centre. It's so at odds with my experience, I still maintain it's safer or at least feel safer than when I first started hanging there in the 1990s.

This FOl enquiry for the Guardian has taken up a great deal of my life for the past 2 years. (1/3)

People who litter are sociopaths, particularly those who litter in nature areas. I said what I said. Sociopaths.

Surely the inmates in mountjoy could claim cruel & unusual punishment if they had to share a cell with either of them ?

Hey are you a marginalised person who could use a voiceover in your business or startup or campaign or whatever else? I periodically put up this offer: I'll voice something under 500 words for free, just DM me. If you know someone who could use this, please pass it to them. vimeo.com/640687479

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy (Not sure it's a meme)

I'm staying with the mother at the moment & it's like living with a slow Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh but instead of names & gaa trivia it's names & litany of illness & misfortunes

The amount of hitchhikers references in the quotes on this is a joy for my old nerd heart 3rd arkers by definition

Secret book and record shop has a new poster to replace the Michael D one :) #Spéirghorm

Man I love sci fi

I have a day off work today, I am away from home so no children to cajole out of bed ..... OFC I am wide awake at Five in the fucking AM

@markohalloran.bsky.social mark! Brilliant in these sacred vows tonight! Just brilliant

Great read of a Sunday for nerds like me #speirgorm

Oh that music by Jessie on @tommytiernan.bsky.social was magical, I think she called the fairies out

Il ne s’agit pas de la “plus vieille écriture du monde”, évidemment, mais ces travaux sur les signes géométriques gravés sur des objets aurignaciens (43 000–34 000 ans av. J.-C.) sont une preuve fascinante de notation symbolique dès le Paléolithique www.labrujulaverde.com/en/2026/02/e...
