When you finally pick the exact moment to risk your entire savings ordering a tank of oil

This is the most perfect shot in film history (From The Way Way Back)

PSA - the movie Good Vibrations is on iPlayer Enjoy

For work reasons I’ve often had to read every NI newspaper cover to cover for years on end. We’re talking hundred and hundreds of times, thousands and thousands of articles. This is still the worst word-salad of half baked gibberish I’ve ever encountered: www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...

Sat in a room earlier with one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever encountered (a medical consultant). The giveaway sign? They referred to the limits of their own knowledge - and deferred to other specialists - constantly. As they say, you know a lot when you know what you know…

Some of us on here knew Natalie. She was funny and kind and she should be here with her son. Thank God justice has been done for her family x

The most extraordinary live performance I’ve ever seen* starts at 18mins 30 here… Just wow (*Apart from Silver Springs, obvs) youtu.be/_UpjMr94qkg?...

The hot chocolate servers in Polar Express ‘only have one rule…never ever let it cool’ but you’d think their one rule should really be something from City & Guilds Level 2 Health & Safety for Catering training or international equivalent

Not sure what to watch tonight? Been stress-bingeing movies A LOT lately Here’s the watchlist so far in case it helps #film #movies #cinema

As a carer who is deeply familiar with the current system, I strongly support the ‘Give 5’ approach to rights-based reform of mental health services Find out more here: www.nlb.ie/campaigns/me... #mentalhealth #northernireland

A poorly-executed shot from this morning but by‘dammit it’s been a week and I was glad to be out at all

I’ve been incredibly disappointed by almost every local mental health charity except ‘Participation & Practice Of Rights’ They’ve been incredible Please find out about their work here @lisatmsa.bsky.social

Update: my beloved wife is now in psychiatric hospital The four and a half year route to getting this help has been a disgrace, with countless errors & failures along the way But the staff there are lovely and we hope this chapter will help get her some relief from her symptoms Thank you all

An image of mine to go with a few lines from my #poem in this #US #Resistance book. "Where wild forget-me-nots bloomed yesterday, last night a thug pulled them up. He didn’t know. They’ve already seeded." #ICE #Survival #Trump Link to full text thechaossectionpoetryproject.com/2026/02/18/s...

When my wife was at her most unwell former Councillor Linzi McLaren was - behind the scenes - INCREDIBLY kind & helpful Political unionism - esp the UUP and its supporters - should be awake at night asking itself how it managed to lose such a talent @amanda.ie @brendanjharkin.bsky.social

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOverWater From the Six Mile river, Antrim #BruceCounty #EastCoastKin #photography #birds #nature #wildlife

A reminder ⬇️ Binge it this weekend!

Frankly I’ve been using movies as a substitute for social battery for an entire lifetime. I’m very happy with this arrangement. The best line in a movie from four decades of watching films? "I'm a friend of the three" The perfection of it brings me to tears…glorious. #film #movies #cinema

@photohour.bsky.social thank you!

Thinking about the McNally family, as well as Natalie’s friends, this week. What they‘re having to endure is impossible to fathom.

Swan, Six Mile River in Antrim Ironically I’m terrified of these things…this needed a VERY long zoom #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBlueSky #photography #birdphotography #ukbirding #naturephotography #BirdLife #wildlifephotography #PhotoHour

Footering about by the frozen grass for food! Six Mile River, Antrim, Saturday last

Three words: Small Prophets, iPlayer

Swan side-eye is a little bit very terrifying

Latest update on the Wee Boat Guy…he looks how I feel @brendanjharkin.bsky.social

Yer da says he isn’t a misogynist but gets weirdly annoyed by (*stares at Facebook in disbelief) women queuing for a cosmetics shop.

I have never been so proud of a stranger, I mean…*chefs kiss @garyshaw200.bsky.social

Just found another photo, the comparison is pretty powerful…. (Also - the previous post should say ‘Stalag’ not ‘Gulag’)

This is my granda Pvt Walter Hamilton from Derry. Spent 5 years in a WWII Gulag as a POW. He was lucky to survive. Trade unionist, old school professional barman, bookworm & musician. ‘The wee man’. Bad politics = bad consequences, please continue to beg everyone you know to vote VERY wisely.
