Some little skulking hearts for you ♥️

My exhibition on the afterlives of Cork revolutionary women who did not marry is in the final stages. I want to thank so much @sostudiodesign.bsky.social for all their work - brilliant design and attention to detail - a truly positive experience. Thank you the @ria.ie for funding this.

Three great poets— Kevin Young, Sasha Debevec-McKenney, and Terrance Hayes — after a packed reading at NYU Thursday night. Sasha will give her first Dublin reading at Books Upstairs in 28th September. Don’t miss her!

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." Sonia Sotomayor

“Then they started to talk about cuffing me, and that if the kids were here legally, what do they have to lose by answering. I told them that they still have their fifth and fourth amendment rights, and that they don’t have to speak to you or help with any investigation.”

Congratulations to Vona Groarke! (I've known her since about 1990-something; I remember her children on Christmas Day 2004; we go back far.) I need to buy her newest book, _Infinity Pool_. This is wonderful news.

61 years ago today, the Klan murdered three civil rights workers in Mississippi. One of them was a childhood friend. I'd like to share what he meant to me. https://youtu.be/u-kv3wdqqNo?si=Zc3Uh-CJOcODt-RW

#nokings According to chatgpt,these are the best mobile services to use if you care about progressive values: TING and REACH NEXT.

Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”

This episode will help Lander in the election next week. (He's on my list anyway, probably #2.)

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

Reminder that Trump was ordered by the Supreme Court to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States. That was nearly two months ago. If Trump can violate due process and openly defy a SCOTUS order, what’s to stop him from doing the same to anyone else?

Videos show Israeli air attacks levelling residential buildings in Gaza, reducing them to rubble amid Israel's ongoing war on the besieged enclave.

BREAKING: At least 28 Palestinians have been killed so far in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since dawn, medical sources in Gaza hospitals have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/q33nx2

www.irishtimes.com/culture/book... This is an intense, revealing, well-researched and often compelling biography. Lane … has made a profound contribution to our understanding of the republican women of that generation and their intimate and public lives. @ucdpress.bsky.social

Officials in Yemen say an Israeli attack on Sanaa airport has destroyed the last passenger plane operated by the country’s main airline, Yemenia Airways.

Cholera outbreak is centred around the capital city, Khartoum, which has been devastated by more than two years of war.

Margaret Skinnider taught my mother at Kings Inn Street in Dublin. She remembers her to this day as a gentle, kind and brilliant teacher who walked with a limp from the injuries she sustained in the 1916 Rising!

Very happy to have been admitted to membership in the Royal Irish Academy as an Honorary MRIA (for members who don’t live in Ireland).

In a number of chats on AI I've been shown proof of concept docs folk are proud of & it's always overly complicated, tedious, insight free bullshit. I'm pretty convinced now that AI's main job is convincing people they're stupid so we drown in tedious digital paperwork. That's the AI apocalypse

Too many people are allowing Donald Trump to continue because “they’re thinking of what is in their own personal, financial well-being, and not what is in the well-being of our democracy,” Cory Booker says.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Just repudiating Tr*mp and Vance does not make the new pope a wise and good person. As news media have pointed out, he is homophobic and he covered up clerical sex abuse. www.nytimes.com/.../who-is-r.... He rejects the 'homosexual lifestyle' & so-called 'alternative' families. #pope #homophobe

People are dying in Gaza- trapped without food and medical aid - as this patriarchal pomp and ostentatious ceremony has the eyes of the world

I’m glad SCOTUS stepped in & stopped that plane from taking off. Deporting folks with no record & no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. Meanwhile, the Republicans follow a convicted felon like he’s the Second Coming. You can’t scream “law & order” while breaking the law at every turn.
