Irish Culture and Partition, 1920-1955 (Liverpool University Press, April 2026)
pinned post!
Very happy with this cover for āIrish Culture and Partition, 1920-1955ā, which features a detail from Evie Honeās stained glass window 'Four Green Fields'. This window was originally shown at the New York's World Fair in 1939, but is now found in Government Buildings on Merrion Street

Growing up in NI during the Troubles involved turning on the news most days with trepidation but i especially remember how the murders of ātroublesomeā nationalist HR lawyers - inc also Rosemary Nelson - made us feel particularly vulnerable and not only unprotected but targeted by the state.

When you're an educator and this is your first reaction to a massacre at a school, there's something fundamentally wrong with your moral compass... I suppose when you are the scion of a political dynasty, everything is just a game to you.

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

vital reading here about the ways that the British state and current government continues to cover up its collusion with loyalist paramilitaries (as well as Scappaticci), but also a salient reminder of the limits of the ongoing 'official' history project
