So done with the baby-waking, animal-terrifying fireworks. Can we just keep it to one night, people?! They are going out the back here and the little lad is screeching. It's exhausting.

Is it... too small? 🫠 (Just need @lizcarolan.com to tell me the blocking will transform it...) #knitsky

Delighted to be launching the Feminist Miscarriage Project! Please see our new website and we'll be updating on news and events soon: feministmiscarriageproject.org

I dunno, I can really see Sharon Horgan in this role

I just got some GOOD job news, which I'm not allowed discuss... but if you see me in a professional context there will be signs I am returning to full time academic employment. Picture below of me, checking people in at the @swip-i.bsky.social conference in Maynooth, dripping in Bottega. #philsky

I see it's time for me to make the point again that the poppy is a fundraising campaign for the Royal British Legion, a specific, mundane entity that is not exempt from scrutiny and does not own the concept of remembrance. You can read its 2024 accounts here: storage.rblcdn.co.uk/sitefinity/d...

The epigraph for @travislacroix.bsky.social‘s new book is quite good. And I thought Dune was just about magic worms and stuff.

The work of May Morris (1862-1938) influential English embroidery designer, jeweller, socialist, and editor who supported and taught fellow female artists #WomensArt#WomensArt

Was going to make a joke about stretching my credentials for various job applications but I really just wanna show this giant earthworm my 5-yr-old and I found stretching up an absolute storm earlier. Look at!

Really in my "is some part of my foot actually broken or am I just in my late 30s?" era.

🇮🇪 Presidential Election Day 1918 was the first time Irish women were permitted to vote, & even then only ~women over 30 who owned property~ Is é do vóta do ghuth 🗳️ #Aras25 #SpeirGorm

I’ll be accompanied to my local polling station by a skeleton with a Dia de los Muertos mask later on. #Áras25 What’s a good, pithy hashtag for ‘Halloween costumes at polling stations’? #Taibhsíagandtoghcháin ?

Spooky scenes! a few other ghouls about too... She was weirdly worried someone was going to make her vote and she didn't have a dragon pen. #dragonsforconnolly

Expecting to possibly see some early morning fancy dressed kids at the polls tomorrow... at least, I'm planning to bring a small duck and Spyro the dragon to my presidential voting experience #Áras2025

No justice. Utterly disgusted for the Bloody Sunday families. An obscene decision and a dark day.

#Aras25 - vote @catherinegalway.bsky.social number 1 this Friday 24th October between 7am and 10pm! For a fairer, more inclusive and more peaceful Ireland that better serves the have-nots.

Congratulations to our PhD student, Philipp Wagenhals, on the publication of his review of Bart Nooteboom’s _Process Philosophy: A Synthesis_ in the International Journal for Philosophical Studies (@ijps.bsky.social). #PhilPublication #PhilReview #IJPS

Presidential candidate with almost all the same views as the very popular current president (who we voted in) looking strong.

University requirements to use specific travel agencies for booking speaker travel is such a grift. Not only is it often more expensive than just letting people book their own stuff, but it takes so much additional energy from organisers.

A great job, application due November 17th. Please spread and help me with the right hashtags

Time to bring a twitter series to Bluesky: Given the incredible number of 20th-century churches in Northrhine-Westphalia (the topic of my dissertation), I’m going post one or two every day. None of these images are mine, they're all credited in the alt text, and I'll take any down if asked

I know I read too much early modern Irish content because my first thought here was to think how happy the lads would have been to see Irish linen praised about that of the Dutch!

Grief is so strange. I was just on LMFM talking about much needed pregnancy loss supports and the host was Adrian Kennedy! My brother (who died 3 years ago) and I used to sit out in the shed as teens (smoking...) and calling in to his old phone show. The pang I felt wishing I could tell him!

It's Pregnancy Loss Awareness week, so I'm still talking about it... I went on Liveline today and spoke about my experience and things I think would help people going through similar (and much worse). www.rte.ie/radio/radio1... More research, better facilities & miscarriage leave would be a start...

It's got a weird ape baby, feminist cardiology and complaints about the HRB statement.

More professional oversharing from me in the Irish Times today. Three years on, I look back at what I think I've learned from my miscarriage experiences. It's paywalled, but I'll pull some of the major ideas below. www.irishtimes.com/health/your-...

Nice. It does feel a bit emblematic of the landlord-cum-politician issue in Ireland.

Daughter just saw a tv with a load of static, and said, "look at those teeny starlings". Not sure whether technological change or her campsite vibes dad is more responsible for this quaint monitor murmuration misidentification.

A recent photo of a starling murmuration as if smoke from a chimney has been called a "fluke" by its Yorkshire based, UK photographer, Anna Tosney #WomensArt

Dropped this off to a pal's baby today. I hope its proportions are actually less weird than they look here. Had a bad few months of knitting... hope I'm back in the swing now. #showusyourknits

some books demonstrate the viability of an incredibly difficult technical project, some other books discuss the paris commune of 1871... only one legend does both

Been a while, old friend!
