It's a damn cold night... ✨️

Pleased to write about working class access to the media industry in @theguardian.com today. Our Elitist Britain research out today shows that almost half of columnists, commentators and top podcast hosts went to private schools. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Paudie should get the Irish Man of the Year award and also we should set up an Irish Man of the Year award #TraitorsIRL

Don't fund gender, arts and humanities research and then you get to call it all "hobbyist"! A perfect plan!

Anyone at a loose end on Sunday at 8pm ca listen to a documentary on Kerrang Radio about riot grrrl....and little old me is in it! Bit of a blink-and-miss-it contribution from me but I'm definitely there amongst some amazing contributors ❤️

Paudie: *throws hands up in the air* sure if Eamon and Katelyn are traitors then I’m a traitor. The Faithful: haha classic Paudie, anyway #traitorsIRL

Not a huge fan of "we could have controlled her" and "we had her in our pocket" coming from this group of men at all at all #traitorsIRL

Oh no I don't want this Andrew thing to pan out at all! I want him recruited and for him and Paudie to storm to the final #traitorsIRL

As a Patrick hater I'm against him being in his element here #traitorsIRL

Incredibly impressed by Kate Scott and Lindsay Day, two brilliant PhD students at USYD who have published this excellent paper on TikTok tradwives and online anti-feminist movements www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10..... Such a pleasure to work with and learn from such smart humans!

Don't normally publish twice in two weeks, let alone on the same topic, but happy to share another piece on Sinéad O'Connor. My review of a new essay collection is free to read in @journalofmusic.bsky.social journalofmusic.com/book-reviews... . #spéirghorm #womeninmusic #musicology #sineadoconnor

I think I heard the entire nation gasp at that observation there! #traitorsIRL

Three traitors shouting at each other at the round table on episode 5? Has this ever happened on any other series? Is it because other countries don't have the Gardaí? #TraitorsIRL

Garda Press Office watching this #traitorsirl

My fear now is that Eamonn will be banished and Paudie will do a somewhat suspicious victory lap around Slane Castle #traitorsIRL

Oh it's kicking OFF #traitorsIRL

Genuinely floored by how good The Traitors Ireland is. It feels like The Traitors but it's undeniably *our* Traitors. Chuffed to bits for everyone involved in making it happen #TraitorsIRL

What a lovely thing it was to love a podcast for so long and eventually end up co-hosting it. I've been a very lucky girl. Night night Juvenalia, sleep well 🛌🌙

We have An Announcement: we’ve decided to end Juvenalia. There’s a larger statement over on insta but we just want to say thanks to everybody that’s supported the podcast over the last (almost) ten years www.instagram.com/p/DOGOz4eDDl...

I just need to get through this month and everything will calm down 🤡

Terrible news about the untimely death of Seán Rocks - I can hardly believe it... grateful to get to pay tribute to him for @thejournal.ie: www.thejournal.ie/tribute-to-s...

Thing I always liked about Arena, and it was down to Seán Rocks as much as anything, was the way it moved without any sense of slumming it, from supposedly 'high' culture to popular stuff. No change in tone, or criticality. With 'Front Row', on R4, there's a 'special voice' for pop music stuff.

Seán was always so warm and kind to me whenever I was lucky enough to be on arena. Albums being the last item on fridays, he spoke often about his weekend plans ahead -- always with his family. I will really miss him. My thoughts are with his family, his RTÉ collegues and all of his listeners.

Call for participants 📢 if you or someone you know fits the bill and is interested please send over an email #oralhistory #workingclasshistory #womenshistory #twentiethcenturyhistory #1960s

Big news! We’re going to be doing a live show at the Theatre Of Food at All Together Now. @alanmaguire.bsky.social and @andreacleary.bsky.social will be talking Pop Culture, Pints, and Parodies with Irish artist Hephee! See you there

In this one @andreacleary.bsky.social cruelly gets me to guess as to what certain things mean and what they might mean for book three. Looking forward to getting it all completely wrong!

"I didn't see you at Gastonbury". Okay, well I didn't see you at the Sunday night Hare Krisha songalong that is currently happening in the apartment opposite mine?

Celebrating Pride as God intended (watching Charli XCX on my iPad and drinking a glass of rosé)

In tears watching CMAT's Glastonbury set. Up Dublin. Up Meath. Up women. Up gingers.
