Friendly reminder, if you see someone this Halloween wearing the plague doctor with the bird beak mask costume, you have to ask them what they are supposed to be and if they then say they're a medieval plague doctor... it's your duty to correct them ;)

The new tariffs are going to hit artists particularly hard if it means losing customers in the US, so I'd ask Irish people to please consider buying local, from Irish makers, where at all possible. Support that means little to a huge business makes a massive difference to small creators. We need ye.

Famine has not âstruckâ Gaza. It is not the result of some natural disaster. It has been engineered. Famine has been inflicted upon the people of Gaza by Israel, who have been facilitated by their enabler allies.
