Will be lying across our bóithrín until the Government agrees to buy €500 million worth of my prints

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

You don’t want Bluesky to be more like Twitter, you just want to be 25 again.

I was sick last week and was so wiped out I had to go to bed at 9:30 every night. Thinking of getting sick again just for the solid sleep.

I’m starting to think I’m too old to become a nepo baby

Why bother fighting your demons?

The promise of social media was that we'd find out what people all over the world were thinking. Alas, in practice, we have found out what people all over the world are thinking.

I know we’re not supposed to judge other’s parenting but come on. Poor little Punch.

Remembering the time that my partner knocked over a bottle of very expensive face oil, panicked & then tried to scoop it up with her hands. Subsequently, I was kicked awake to find her with both of her hands held out, palm up, like she was Padre Pio, asking me to take her make-up off for her.

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

The jig is up.

We watch Mrs Doubtfire maybe once a year and I always think she should have given that old bus driver a chance. Seems a decent aul skin.

If you're in Ireland, please fill out this public consultation about the future of the Basic Income for the Arts scheme, the best thing that's happened to Irish artists in a very long time. We need it to continue. ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...
