Tiz the season for sharing lovely Irish businesses! 😊

An unexpected charity shop visit resulted in morrrrrreeeee books! 📚🤭 #Booksky #Booksky📚💙

Next up, Orbital by Samantha Harvey. I'm not sure why I feel a bit anxious about this read? It's probably to do with the idea of floating in space but here goes... 🌎🌌🌙🛰️ #Booksky💙📚 #Booksky

The fireworks are deafening around here. I'm definitely getting more sensitive to it as I get older, but it's mad! 🫣 Poor pets and animals too, it must be so scary for them. Having said that, I do hope the kids all have fun 🎃🧡 #Samhain #Halloween

Amazing episode, I'm absolutely going to have to go back and read this again as a grown up. It's not gonna be the same at all. I'm a little bit scared I'm don't mind admitting! 👻😂 #Booksky #Booksky📚💙

The Nazi supporting English Daily Mail is losing its mind! Fortunately, Ireland makes Prozac for all of Europe, the Middle East & Africa, so we’ll be grand. As for fecking woke - in Ireland we call that good manners. Connolly got the highest presidential vote in Irish history - discord my arse!

Next up, I already know that I'm going to fly through this. 20 pages in and I'm all in! #Booksky #Booksky📚💙

A beautiful day spent together in Carlingford, exactly what the doctor ordered. ❤️ @a-guy-on-here-too.bsky.social

This is where we are in 2025 Ireland: Two different assaults on drag queens on the street in Cork in front of hundreds of witnesses. That didn't even happen back in the 80's. At least the second criminal's faces are visible. Prison for both #speirgorm #LGBTQRights #Thugs

The same people who are spitting venom about foreigners being a danger to women and children are on social media congratulating the white Irish man who attacked Mary Lou McDonald and her group of canvassers today. Make it make sense

So angry for the Bloody Sunday families and the people of Derry. Absolutely no justice in this at all.

He may have been allowed to walk free by a British court, but the world now knows that David Cleary was part of the unit that murdered 14 and injured 15 in Derry on Bloody Sunday, 1972. Let history judge them with the same amount of mercy that they showed their victims - that is, none at all.

Superb 3hrs that flew by in the blink of an eye with @seanronayne.bsky.social at #thelarkdublin tonight. An evening of laughter, tears, joy, awe & hope. Sean's passion is infectious, his delivery charming & his message a stark warning for the challenges ahead for Irelands birds. #Natureboy #birdsong

What an incredible evening spent listening to @seanronayne.bsky.social at The Lark in Balbriggan. He spoke so engagingly and movingly about all aspects of bird life & general wildlife in Ireland. Stark+quite depressing statistics were presented alongside ever present hope and optimism. GRMA Seán 🦉

Wait till the EU finds out that fish don't ACTUALLY have fingers ... I can't deal with the Age of Stupid anymore. I just can't.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

A small fire at the front of the bookshop was started last night after rubbish bags that were awaiting collection were set on fire. The guards don’t have reason at this time to believe it was a targeted attack. Thankfully the damage was limited and everyone is safe. We are open for business as usual

Those two better keep their slimy cloaks away from Oyin tonight ! She needs to crack this case asap 🙏 #TraitorsIrl

Was wondering who Nick and Ben reminded me of #TraitorsIRL

Any vintage stereo lovers out there in the #spéirgorm world? I'm trying to find a home for a 1960s Murphy stereogram, preference is to donate it to a non-profit org with an interest in restoring or preserving them. Electronics need some work but it's in great nick cosmetically. Reposts appreciated

Thoroughly enjoyed this, heartwarming story with interesting, strong Irish female characters. #Booksky #Booksky 💙📚

The group described the decision to host next year's Irish Open at Trump Doonbeg as 'shameful' and 'another example of appeasing Donald Trump'. http://jrnl.ie/6814960

We've just had the most magical few days ever...incredible. Beyond perfect.🌻 Love you so much @a-guy-on-here-too.bsky.social ❤️

💚🌟

Ohh have just caught up on the 1st episode of #TraitorsIRL and LOVED it! Siobhán is fantastic and I hope we get to see more of the wolfhounds too!

Good news. We need much more of this, but this is excellent. Well done to all the universities involved and to the government departments who made this happen. This is no mean feat in the circumstances. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Just a regular reminder to please support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. Without us, they can't survive, and truthfully, without them, neither can we.

We don’t just keep saying this because it affects us and we love working in a bookshop, living, breathing, talking, lugging books - www.rte.ie/culture/2025...

Morning 👋 How are we all today? I see the billionaire of online sales is in super discount mode. (That wedding wasn't cheap) This is a little reminder of our list of Irish Designers. Reposts would be wonderful 😉 #supportsmallbusiness #SLATED go.bsky.app/9sh8HQq

Currently reading...I'm less than 100 pages in but it's a really interesting way to tell a story,there are complex themes and this style slows for them to be broached from various angles x #Booksky ##Booksky📚💙

Israel aggressively acting with complete impunity towards the Madleen in international waters - this is what the lack of consequence from world powers in response to their actions in Gaza has shown them. Hope the crew will be released safely but awful news to wake up to. They were so, so close.

What a beautiful book, I'm having to force myself to slow down so I can take it all in! 😍🐇 #Booksky📚💙 #Booksky #WatershipDown

Rowling is deranged

The perfect book to start this week. ☀️ #Booksky📚💙 #booksky #Finland 🇫🇮

He and all the pharma + insurance ghouls will be directly responsible for the deaths of insulin dependent diabetics. Evil piece of shit.

Wow...this should be required reading for everyone. It's phenomenally honest and raw , and so beautifully and carefully written, not one word is wasted. ❤️ #Booksky #Booksky📚💙 #Reading

'Moomins' creator Tove Jansson illustrated both the Swedish and Finnish editions of J. R. R. Tolkien's classic book 'The Hobbit' in the 1960s #womensart

Maybe he phrased what he wanted to say badly, but no-one should ever say ‘I dont like Conor McGregor but …’ that ‘but’ means you are validating the opinion of a violent thug rapist & racist. #speirgorm www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

World Poetry Day - one of my most favourite days of the year - I’ll start …

The more I see that Garron Noone video ...'my opinion of McGregor is irrelevant'. Do you know what? It's not. Not when you're using him as a jumping off point for a spiel about immigration? Not when women and girls in this country are at genuine risk directly from him? HE makes our towns unsafe.

With news of Amazon, please try and remember to support your local independent shops, Irish online shops like us. Don't let the big boys win. Here is our list of some fab Irish designers. Please pick one and buy something. #speirgorm #SLATED #IrishDesign go.bsky.app/9sh8HQq

Helsinki was just utterly fantastic, we are already looking at when we could possibly return.🇫🇮💕 Fresh clean air, so much to see and enjoy, plenty of places to eat and drink, plus you are never too far away from forest or water. 🌳🌊 And of course, the home of saunas! 🙏 #Helsinki #Saunas #Moominland
