3:28 am over Mullet Peninsula, north west Mayo.

Let's all be the rain on this motherfucker's parade. #NoKings #NoKingsDay

Anyone who thinks Ireland is expensive should see Manhattan. $43 for two Bacardis with a dash of Sprite. Even Temple Bar would blush at that.

@janesteger-lewis.bsky.social hello! Reply disabled on your post. All fine here, third power cut of week though today so quite annoying. Delighted to hear your mum is improving x how ya that lovely new nest? And I’m very jealous of your vac!! Is it great?

This all feels a little reminiscent of the pigs and their dogs in Animal Farm.

The best customer service I’ve ever experienced bar none. This is great to see.

Somethings happened to the roof 😱 #StormĒowyn

5:48 and out of bed. Roof groaning. Windows sound like they are straining too much. Power gone. #StormĒowyn

1:40 am and already so violent out there on north west Mayo coast.

The Munster puce kit is terrible and looks exactly like my husband’s clothes after he does his own laundry.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

I doubt any Troll here who’s trying to smear ⁦Keir Starmer about decade-old events will be interested to read these pages from my book about his record prosecuting rape gangs. But he’s done more to bring them to justice than Farage, Yaxley-Lennon - or Musk -will ever do.

What an evening on the north west mayo coast 😍🥶 view across the Atlantic towards Achill island.

Not sure people realise how hard it's been recently for artists to survive, or how deeply appreciated every single order is. If you can't buy something, it makes a huge difference just to share our work. If you can't share our work, a little sacrifice to the Old Gods on our behalf means a lot, too 💜

There I am, hard at work in the workshop, making copper candle trios. Experience the alluring radiance of the SLATED Copper Candle Trio. Slated.ie #SLATED #speirgorm #IrishDesign Reposts would be wonderful.

“And I would have gotten away with It too, if it weren't for you meddling middle class women of a certain age. Ggah!”

I’m really proud that Ireland has resisted the global trend towards the far right in #GE24. We’re like Asterix’s village holding out against the invaders.

podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/b... For all my new Irish friends, because of the strangest case of mistaken identity in the history of Irish-American relations, I've been invited to be interviewed by Katie Hannon. The taping is tomorrow and I'll let you know when it's scheduled to be aired

Irish far-right accounts on X have already started to seed a 'stop the steal' narrative around #GE24 - this time it's more focused on ID fraud than the 'foreign interference' claims we saw during the locals and Europeans in June (though there are still efforts to push that narrative too).

People living in areas ravaged by drugs and crime voting for Hutch is mind boggling. Turkeys voting for Christmas #GE24

Kennys Bookshop is 84 years old today. 💚

I thought it might be worth introducing myself here as most people might not know me and what I do. My name is Niall and I am on a mission to save street dogs around the world. This is me with Tina. A very special dog. This is my story…. (1/8) 🧵

Today I vote and consider not what a candidate can do for me but what they want to take away from someone else. My morals will never align with racists, anti immigrant, anti trans, anti choice views.

A reminder to those across the pond celebrating #thanksgiving. A turkey, crabs legs and sausages can be combined to create a memorable centrepiece for your table. (And fewer guests next year).

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

Can someone please invent an app that actually migrates all banking stuff and email passwords over to new device with minimal effort?? It has taken me three weeks to face setting up a new phone.

🔥 🗣️STURGILL SIMPSON: “This toxic patriarchal energy is an age coming to an end… that energy is clawing for its survival bc it knows it’s dying. We’re heading to something beautiful, we just have to go through some dark shit first. So love everybody.” (H/T @wutangforchildren.bsky.social )

Know some don't like to block "because they don't want to give them the satisfaction", but the block not only cuts them off from you, it cuts them off from others in your mentions, going through your follow list, etc. It protects other people. Trap them under a jar and fling them out the window.

Lots of support for #NikitaHand being expressed today - one positive action to show that is to make a donation to the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre who stood by her and her case www.drcc.ie/get-involved... Simple way is text DRCC to 50300 to donate €4 or consider corporate fund raising/ sponsorship

About time. Well done jury but surprised at the low damages awarded.

We lost little Amalfi but it was a time to focus on the positives. A fried chicken treat for the street dogs of Thailand 🥰🙏

@janesteger-lewis.bsky.social you are very naughty!! He just opened that parcel. Brilliant pressie! He loves it 😂😂

Kind of the Muskrat trying to gnaw it’s way in here to put a swastika in their profile pic so I don’t have to actually look at their sewer of a timeline to see who they are before blocking.

Are blueskyers the new air fryer owners?

#journorequest looking to talk to people in/from Ireland who will be going abroad for Christmas. DM if any thoughts. Shares appreciated.
