Yep. Autumn has kicked in.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

Need a music table quiz in Galway asap, so I can use my new team name Stock Aiken Sense. I'm far too proud of it.

The Deborah Vance collection you were waiting for just dropped at Dunnes.

Ah! It's a new month. Better change that Quickbooks logo again so you can't find the icon on your bookmark bar.

My favourite thing about being away for 2 weeks was not having to Microsoft authenticate every 3 hrs.

This So Cow bukelet is ace. Haven't even finished reading it, or listened to the accompanying album as I'm at work, but 5/5 on Goodreads.

A perfect comic panel.

All I want for Christmas is Galway drivers to stop sitting in the yellow boxes around the Salmon Weir Bridge.

The only cinema I ever go to in town. Gutted.

Day 5 of no broadband. Have taken to bed to read a manuscript by candlelight*. 🎩🕯📜🛏🪤 *Can't binge YouTube on the TV, so I've gone to bed early, deluding myself I'll read loads of my book instead of futzing uselessly through every social media account in rotation.
