"The machinery of our state was built to protect & defend institutions of power. Historically, it spent decades specifically ensuring that perpetratorsof child sex abuse would not face any consequences for their actions" Excellent work @tupped.bsky.social #SpéirGhorm www.thegist.ie/the-gist-the...

@subversivepsych.bsky.social oh, so happy to find you here Dr LG, trying to get out of Twitter & find the community here.

@jackamatica.bsky.social Hi Jack, Really happy to find you here. Are you posting all the same content from Twitter over here? The #ME/CFS community over there is strong, but the site itself is a pit. Thanks.

"the people who are put in office & paid so very handsomely to keep this society healthy & safe, are shamelessly running scared. Their cowardice is palpable in every failure to meaningfully condemn things which are absolutely wrong." #SpéirGhorm www.thejournal.ie/readme/surre...

I've signed this petition calling for the government to shut down X for producing sexual abuse images. Will you do the same? my.uplift.ie/petitions/sh... @uplift.ie #SpéirGhorm

Isn't "clop" a great word all the same? #RandomThoughts #SpéirGhorm

Here, have a #painting. "Savage Rowan" came out of a challenge from an artist friend of mine where we both painted the same scene. This was mine and it eventually went to a good home in Galway. #art #SpeirGhorm #ArtYear

My letter in today's Examiner. I'm really fired up about this. A Dáil without gender parity will always fall short when it comes to representing women. That applies to their healthcare but also extends to labour that tends to be dominated by women such as providing care. #spéirgorm

I'm calling on Media Minister Patrick O’Donovan to scrap plans that would force people to use a state-run Digital ID card to access social media. Will you sign too? my.uplift.ie/petitions/no... @uplift.ie #SpéirGhorm #SpeirGorm @tupped.bsky.social

If, like me, you did NOT get the ONE thing you wanted from Santy (a 95-year-old bachelor farmer with plenty land and a bad cough), treat yourself to a print from an Irish doodler instead - big discounts across the shop, including on bundles, so go on. Go on go on go ON. www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

Don't give up on your dreams. If you wish to chase timid townsfolk away from the dark heart of the forest with the terrible grandeur of your shambling form, I know you can do it. I believe in you.

A sad auld day. #HailTheWombat 💚

Anne Madden, Deep Stream (oil on canvas), 1990. The death of artist and Aosdana member Anne Madden at age 93 was announced today. Chosen to represent Ireland at the 1965 Venice Biennale, Madden's work is in public collections both her and abroad, including at Muséee du Louvre #speirgorm

A #painting so. "Swallows, Wall" came out a time when I sat in front of a wall in Waterford painting it while the swallows swirled and swooped around me, then I got on my bicycle and before sunset cycled along the Copper Coast. Good times. I like walls. And birds. #art #SpeirGhorm #ArtAdventCalendar

If you wanted to exert the maximum amount of pressure on the U.K. for their anti-trans behaviour, this would be the moment to start your plan. Four years gives enough time to build a legal argument to challenge adequacy, fundraise, sharpen your messaging and challenge the adequacy decision.

The N2 north bound is closed at carrickmacross due to a serious accident. Diversions are in place but it’s not great around that whole area. #Speirgorm

Reposting for the morning #speirghorm crowd. Ernie has been spotted near to his home but he’s scared and hiding.

That's it! #ZeroStretch. The Grand Drawing In is over, but the Grand Stretch doesn't start, like the party celebrating it, until tomorrow.

Still, it was Oscar worthy compared to "Christmas Under The Northern Lights." The chemistry is lost in the permafrost somewhere i guess?! 🤷 #SpéirGhorm #SpeirGorm

Watching all sorts of dreadful fodder these days on Netflix... Even Cary Elwes can't save "A Castle for Christmas", & still I watch. #SpéirGhorm #SpeirGorm

Is it just me or have there not been any articles in @thejournal.ie about the middle of the night ratifying of #CETA? It's massive news, & I'm not really seeing it anywhere. It's very, very STRANGE. And it's bad. #SpéirGhorm #SpeirGorm

If a human says "Human rights have gone too far", the only possible explanations are either (a) they think other people are less human than them or (b) they feel like their human rights are more important than other people's human rights and that's fine.
