Okay #moth experts. Who is this beauty? She reminds me of a beautiful luxury quilt my granny would have saved up to buy very conspicuously in Clery's in the late 70s #notionsmoth

My latest mathematical affectation is going to be using "trigon" in place of "triangle".

oh please ladies, please please have more babies, we need more babies. we BEG you! Oh, you were trying to have a baby and just discovered your treasured 22 week old pregnancy will not result in a live birth. Be back next Monday!

Call em up and rat out your local data centre

Look at this amazing conference on intimate injustices that our PhD researchers have put together!

The "amazing isn't it that with all this technology connecting us we still feel alone?" really got to me. Really feels like all the positive power in emerging technologies is immediately hoarded, exploited and ruined by grifters...

Oh, come on, it's clearly in the language now

Here's a quilt I don't think I have shown you guys, or maybe I have, I can't remember. I made it about 2 years ago, it was a mystery sew along. So I made all the different parts and didn't know how they would go together until the very end. #quiltsky

Every time I read a story about gynecology it's always something like "doctors discovered women could experience pain in 1989 but decided not to act on this knowledge for 20 years"

There is a man, with his wetsuit half on, chain-smoking straights at the safety briefing area. Pretty sure he's doing the 4k Ps: how far away do those buoys look? #decisionregret

Listening to a lady on Morning Ireland talking about getting a special card for people with medical conditions to get access to businesses toilets. Sorry but what are we paying taxes for? This is an extremely basic state responsibility. Where are the public toilets?

There is a fun conspiracy going around on the internet that the shutting off at CERN caused all women on the planet to get late period

We've scarcely seen a headbutt to the heart like it since.

I got this for my daughter's bday and she has it framed beside her bed and calls it her éan art 🎨 🐦

Today's episode of the podcast is an interview with Dominic Finn, one of three Cork County Councillors who was adopted from Bessborough as a baby. He told me about growing up as the eldest of four adopted children and the twists and turns in his search for his family open.spotify.com/episode/08xp...

Hard to keep impressing upon people in Ireland how wild this is as government has normalised it and are working to rewrite the legislation underpinning our electricity infrastructure to facilitate more data centres.

Seriously! We so desperately need investment in (just to name one example) swimming infrastructure and this money goes to something that has no moral or practical upshot at all. Come on!

“Is there a fire drill?” to the tune of "La donna è mobile" from Verdi’s Rigoletto is a good example (used when opposition fans leave early because they’re losing).

A perfect illustration of a well-known contemporary phenomenon

Thank you @quiteclare.bsky.social Irish drivers’ habit of ‘running reds’ is not a charming quirk. With a little political will, we can have effective enforcement. Red light cameras NOW! www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

7am Pre-conference swim done ✔️ Definitely woke me up anyway-- very very sleepy getting in as pictured The Josephine Baker pool in Paris is so beautiful. It's so sad that it's closing in September.

My St Andrews friend Eloise does weirdly and wonderfully colourful paintings of Welsh towns and landscapes, and she has an exhibition at Canfas in Cardigan just now - for those (like me) who can't make it to West Wales to see it, you can view all of the works online: canfas.co.uk/exhibitions/...

From the way some are talking, you'd swear removing the enforced 3-day wait means you won't be allowed any time to think about an abortion once you bring up the possibility. Just use the A word in a clinical setting & you'll be wheeled to theatre against your will.

okay but what if a 10-year-old thinks moby dick is better than middlemarch, what then. where are they supposed to go

Meanwhile, not one of the groups so far known to have been orchestrating the violence in Belfast and Southampton has been banned as a terrorist organisation.

Wrote about divorce and the weird narrative that has developed around it in certain quarters.

Looking forward to this conference next week: Euclid in Literature and the Arts, at the Sphere Lab in CNRS, Paris. I'm taking about Byrne's pictorial Euclid, some semiotic connections to Berkeley and some artsy stuff sphere.cnrs.fr/en/event/euc...

I have a new article out on miscarriage in late twentieth-century Ireland. Special thanks to @delaycara.bsky.social for organising a 2024 workshop from which this & the other articles in the special issue stemmed, and for all the support through to publication. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
