"It’s troubling to hear the political commentariat describing Donald Trump’s and Nigel Farage’s actions as ‘unprecedented’. ...as Anne Applebaum observes, authoritarians are now [rallying] to attack a perceived common enemy: democracy itself."

I’m going to be home alone today!

Please enjoy this #gentlebeard slideshow my phone made for me 😁 #ofmd

Reader, I did not.

The rest of the grapes are ripe!

If you’re interested in getting an Irish Dresser and Folklore Calendar, the 2026 ones are in stock now here - folklore.ie I ordered mine on Wednesday and they arrived TODAY. So efficient! #SpeirGorm

In my dream last night I wished a woman happy 60th birthday, and as she thanked me, she asked how I was, was I well? IN MY DREAM I said I wasn’t feeling very well at the moment and wasn’t getting enough sleep. I was calling myself out IN MY DREAM. So anyway I’m having a bed rot day today.

BURGESS HILL, WEST SUSSEX. #DoctorWho Figures, books and DVDs are currently on shelves at the Rocking House Emporium Although last day of grading from this store they are moving to one a mins walk away next week

This looks like the greatest Traybake ever made by a crack team of Ulster Protestant bakers

A message from Liam Óg....

The terrorism case against Kneecap rapper Mo Chara (Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh) has been thrown out by the chief magistrate sitting at Woolwich Crown Court following a technical error in the way the charge against him was brought. jrnl.ie/6827726

Made up charges to silence dissent from a genocide complicit government dropped. Next up should be the dropping of all charges against people holding signs while peacefully protesting the same genocide. #FreePalestine #IsraelIsCommittingGenocide #ComplicityInGenocide #SpéirGorm

Kneecap manager Dan Lambert. They should now sue the British gov for loss of earnings having had to cancel a US and Canada tour over this nonsense. Political policing at the behest of Israel all to distract from their Genocide in Gaza. Well it’s had the exact opposite effect lads. #Speirgorm

And they did!!!! Comhghairdeas! Treise leat!

I love the hit television show our flag means death

It was very cryptic, but it was, “There can be only one”.

Okay! I suspect this may well be my last snail hat (I think I’ve got it out of my system) so I’m keeping it for myself! #crochet

I’ve not attempted to make it myself 🫣The directions look very complicated, but I have a friend who is truly a master at braiding challah & I’m going to ask her to help me 🌈 I’ll keep you posted! If anyone else wants to try: uglyducklingbakery.com/rainbow-roun...

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

Update! My bro lives 3 minutes drive from the poltergeist house in the podcast & he went past there yesterday and said it’s been abandoned for years. I wonder if the poltergeists drove them out? 🤔 Bro’s lived up there for 20 years & this is the first time he’s heard about the Humpty Doo Poltergeist!

Saw this on TikTok (not originally from there but it’s doing the rounds on social media and I liked it) - Acetaminophen is easy to pronounce. The ending is like “minnow fin” 🐟 And “aceta-“ sounds like “Ah see da” as in “Ah see da Epstein files still haven’t been released.”

ladies if he’s a matador that is a huge red flag

A ‘well-orchestrated campaign to keep out Independent candidates’, or as we in Ireland like to call it, a ‘democratic election’. #SpeirGorm

I've a gra for subversion and I've thought of a way to subvert all the Irish flags going up in Dublin-to use them as they were originally intended as a bridge of peace. If we put a Palestinian flag under each Irish flag it will mean Irish solidarity with Palestine ✊️ #Speirgorm #speirghorm

"Thousands turn out every year for the annual Mothman Festival, a celebration of one of West Virginia's most famous cryptids. This year's two-day event will take place Sept. 20-21 in Pt. Pleasant, and our ARC Appalachia team took a trip to the town to preview the festival."

Love that the latest episode of This Paranormal Life is about Humpty Doo

Finished! There may have been some “yarn chicken” involved at the end. #crochet

Last night I dreamed I’d bought (or rented - moved into anyway) a massive Victorian era town house somewhere in the vicinity of the Albert Hall (it could be seen from behind the building). 4 storeys, roof garden area, a restaurant next door, & no other neighbours. I want that house & I want it now.

I think I’m addicted to making these. They’re also a quick way to use up my yarn ball scraps. #crochet

Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam. #cearta #speirgorm

Okay this could probably have done with one or two fewer segments, but it still looks cool, I think! #crochet

New snail shell (or rather, a Nautilus) hat on the hook! This one is for Middle Son. It’s coming along a lot faster than the first one because I know what to do #Crochet

Vignette 14/14. Now that both are well & truly docked, they are resting comfortably on their bed, Stede covered with a white cloth & Ed all snuggly in his blue robe. He's brought Stede breakfast in bed with the tray & food shown in composite style of profile and overhead view. #OFMD #OFMDnsfw #nsfw

It is finished! Modelled by my husband, who remains anonymous on social media. #crochet If you’re interested in the pattern, there’s a tutorial on YT by the creator (but also buy her pattern, it’s quite cheap). You’ll be able to tell where I changed the pattern! youtu.be/epO5fDBPDv0

So this is meant to be a snail shell hat, but as I’m making it for my hub and his Big Irish Head™️, I’ve altered the pattern and now we’ve decided it’s going to be a conch shell hat. Anyway I’ve nearly finished! Yay! #crochet

We’re on the long journey from Dad’s place in Sydney to Mum’s in Wollongong (about 80km), and he’s playing Mike Oldfield’s ‘Tubular Bells’. I would fall asleep to the mind-numbing boringness of it and wake up and it was still playing. To this day, I cannot stand ‘Tubular Bells’.

Current project! #crochet

And yep. It’s all gone.

In case it wasn’t already obvious, Our Flag wouldn’t exist without Butch Cassidy, The Princess Bride, or Midnight Cowboy. 2 out of 3 of these were written by William Goldman (who also wrote an unproduced screenplay about Stede and Blackbeard for Roger Moore and Sean Connery to star).
