Sharing this because I am getting obsessed, first bag offer is €8, for a kg of coffee beans - you literally can not do better & it's gorgeous coffee The full price is not bad too I'm an drinking too much coffee tho #speirgorm feighcullencoffee.myshopify.com

We #repealedthe8th and this is STILL happening. #abortionishealthcare #speirgorm

Because of the #irevaus game I've been introduced to the #skullet - the mullets littler, weirder sibling & it's a no, no thanks, from me #speirgorm

I’ve concluded that men (and some women) think pedophiles prey on small children and that men grooming and raping teenagers aren’t pedophiles. They think these teenage girls are consenting to this activity or are actually to blame for it. I hate this reasoning, but find no other answer.

I wore a tan coloured shirt when meeting friends on a night out back in 1998. One asked if I'd just come off shift in McDonalds... to this day they still call me Bigmac

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it. All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference. Tanks

For non-Irish: The show premise is that Tommy Tiernan (the dad on Derry Girls) doesn’t know who his guest is until they appear. The chat with Ireland’s outgoing president, Michael D Higgins, is beautiful. I made the kid watch it to study how Irish people can dance across registers. #spéirghorm

1. Who buys his books? 2. Does anyone believe the 'you can't fire me I already quit line'? 3. Is he good at anything he does? 4. Tbh if he is on, normally, I don't listen, & having heard him today for the first time in years, why does anyone? 5. Gobshite #speirgorm

Bringing back this hot take for the upcoming holiday season.

#speirgorm might be interested to see this, as we await President Connolly’s inauguration this week. A vision of what might have been 😬

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose. Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵

Jayysus @johncreedon.bsky.social what kinda mood were you in tonight? It was lovely but a bit staring into the flames with a whiskey in hand vibe?

Loads of plastic poppies zip tied to lamposts round here, probably end up in landfill or choking some dolphin in the ocean next month, makes you proud 🫡

This is brilliant. We need this here too, we need Irish leftie losers #speirgorm

Regarding the rightward turn FG & FF are taking on all kinds of immigration, here's a piece I wrote Nov 2019 on far-right rhetoric entering mainstream Irish politics. "This is a pattern: extreme rhetoric is heard, listened to and begins to seep into mainstream politics until it becomes part of it."

Disagree. Showing that it can be done has an exhilarating effect on the whole "it can't be done" mantra in other political conversations around the world. As we say in Irish: "impossible" is just buttered possible, baby...

Timely & impactful GRMA @dublininquirer.com fort this

Love this

Remember - if it's OK to call @paulmurphy.pbp.ie et al "far left" or "hard left" for saying that people deserve homes and basic services, then it's entirely OK for you to call politicians "far right" and "racist" when they try to blame a housing disaster they created on immigrants.

Simon Harris thinks there's too many immigrants, does that include the kids of the Lisdoonvarna Crew? The kids in direct provision? Cos he was content to use their song without permission. #speirgorm www.thejournal.ie/cork-kids-ra...

They say it was because the disposables are littering the place and children are using them. Yet it is cheaper for me now to buy disposables that it would be for me to purchase liquid for my non disposable vape. And charging the tax on non nicotine liquid?

Banning disposables would be a health measure AND an environmental measure (hugely polluting, look at Belgian attempts to ban) AND a fire safety measure (causing regular fires for refuse companies) But sure let's fuck the responsible users #finegeal #fiannafail 'logic'

Vape sales should be licensed as cigs and booze are. Plain packaging should be mandatory. None of these things are being done. What the government have done will not make much difference to casual vapers, but will push quitters back onto cigarettes. /

This tax adds €5 onto all of those bottles, regardless of strength. So it removes the incentive to step down, and actually penalises you for doing so. As bottles costed from €2 in a discount shop to €8 for the priciest, bottles are now doubling, or tripling in price. /

Crying about not being able to talk about migration while being one of the most powerful politicians in a country that has had almost 7 years of non stop talk about migration is top tier useless crybaby behavior

We lost such a great man last month @manchanmagan.bsky.social will inspire legions to embrace ár tenga, ár talamh, ár cultúr even if it's just cupla focail gach lá We were lucky to have had him even for such a short time

I see Musk is claiming that immigrants are fucking up Ireland, but I honestly can't think of a foreigner who has fucked us as hard as that dipshit when he bought Twitter and disrupted our information space and a really useful organisational space. #spéirgorm

Israel violated ceasefire nearly 200 times since 10 October, media office says - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israel-violated-ceasefire-nearly-200-times-10-october-media-office-says

Bullshit, pure bullshit. FF & FG looking someone, anyone to blame for thier failures. Plenty of other EU countries have tenants rights, long term leases, State owned social housing and rent control. #speirgorm #supergluedpockets

Petrol On The Stairway “an act designed to ensure the occupants could not escape” thechangingtimes.darylfeehely.com/post-251102-... #Speirgorm #Irishpol

The "there wouldn't be an issue if people weren't allowed to be anonymous online" argument can be dispelled by just checking out Facebook comments.

Never forget: your government didn't give a shit about 7 years of escalating arson attacks on IPAS centres & street assaults on immigrants & LGBT people & that they & the media described the arsonists & shitters on ballot papers as having "reasonable concerns." www.thetimes.com/article/0887...

Maybe you think that some people are applying for international protection cynically or dishonestly. So... would making it easier for someone to just come here and work fix that? Of course it would. Oh, but you don't want to do that either? Well, now who doesn't want to talk about immigration.

You know the way PE teachers and hurling coaches tell you that "when you're a bad loser, you lose twice"? Well, Simon Harris is a bad loser and he's going to drag our national dignity down with him as he loses twice. The energy we'll waste trying to reverse the damage he's done in two days.

Love this. Also have a soft spot for RBB - I've been at the Dail to protest a few times & he has come out to engage, no matter the topic Always patient & polite, listening & understanding I hope he has a speedy recovery & is back annoying all the right ppl asap #speirgorm

"Should I look to the 950,000 people who voted for Catherine Connolly... Should I look to the 1.9 million people who didn't cast a vote? No I should look to the 200K spoilt voters who include some of the most racist, moronic and awful humans to grace this country" That my friends is insane.

I repost this each October in the hope that the complexity of Halloween's origins and customs are more widely appreciated. Claims of a simple historical & mononational genealogy for this celebration are themselves examples of contemporary folklore/mythmaking. limerick1914.medium.com/customs-vary...

I fucking hate being right bsky.app/profile/sigh...

Dammit I took my focus vitamins instead of my sleepy vitamins, I'm about to have very weirdly focused dreams amn't I? #peri-life

And in case anyone needs reminding, there *is* another option that has been proven *over and over again* to be a very successful way to provide housing for all - but unfortunately it doesn’t make a small number of people very rich: STATE HOUSING ON STATE LAND BY A STATE BUILDER (ask your Granny)

A proud and progressive Irishness. Yes! It honours both the need for us to shed our shame (as a country that has been occupied and oppressed) and the need for us to understand that the ways in which we have been the oppressor.

On Lies, Damned Lies & Reality TV: it's me in The Beacon. the-beacon.ie/2025/10/27/l...

The people who spoiled their vote,using their own faecal matter or scrawled Maria Steen or Connor McGregor in crayon are the same people that attacked the women canvassing for Connolly,that rioted in Dublin and the same people that the likes of FGFF,Aontú and David Quinn say we should listen to.

1. Immigration is not too high. Our collective investment in Africa is too low. 2. Most pandering is to right wing & our largest NGO, Catholic Church. 3. He can post. Free speech is fine. 4. Go on, say “Not all Men.” 5. There’s multiple genders in nature. 6. Out tax base is screwed, charity boy.

If you’re curious about “25 ready baked ideas” for #housing they include building garden sheds & dark studios the size of 2 parking spaces; super inflating land values; & new shortcuts that risk “irregular practices”, public safety, the environment, & incurring fines on climate targets #halfbaked

I've a 2 mile uphill walk to a rural voting booth. I'll be happy to do it again, in rain, to vote against FF's 'Enable Flatley and McGregor to make a Holy Show of us' Referendum.

I can't believe I'm about to type this, but, McDowell appears to deserve gratitude here He saw the danger in her, a well funded, divisive campaign resurrecting issues long-settled, &, in the remote chance she won, a council of state stuffed with opus dei, again. She is trump in a dress #speirgorm

It’s disturbing that so much of the Irish media still turn to #X for commentary and quotes. This creates a totally distorted impression given that platform’s active promotion of right-wing extremism. #Speirgorm
