Train Dreams on Netflix is just beautiful. Such a gentle film about life and grief and connections.

The EBU voted to retain Israel's participation. In response, Spain, Ireland, Slovenia, Iceland, Belgium, and the Netherlands have elected to boycott the event. Portugal to announce a decision this evening. Sad day for music lovers and people who oppose war crimes.

The man in the recording of the trans woman receiving those disgusting questions released today is unmistakeably Paul Moran, lead psychiatrist at the NGS by the way, not just some random maverick clinician. The rot comes from the very top #SpéirGorm #Trans

Ireland has joined Netherlands, Spain, and Slovenia in boycotting the #Euovision now that #Israel is taking part. It's the right thing to do.

Traumatising my friends by sending them this!

I have been making silly art to amuse myself.. Here are two monsters - Mess Monster & Spike Monster.

Fucking hell

Oh FFS .. The complex does great things for Art and Culture in Dublin. Sign this petition to help save a necessary space!

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.

I am so impressed with myself.. I solved the daily Clues by Sam, Dec 4th 2025 (Tricky), in less than 8 minutes 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 cluesbysam.com

Seconded .. also her envelopes are always packed so nicely.

Today's #WhiskeyAdventCalendar dram.

I am so sad that one woman on rampage has managed to ruin so many lives. Fuck Rowling and all who support her.

Hey, you there! eagerly downloading that new Full Cast version of those books by the mouldy bigot lady, this is YOU doing that. This is what you are funding, the needlessly cruel ripping up of trans people's lives

We're not going to talk about today's Clues by Sam.

I started watching pluribus and it's so damn good.. Indeed to read all the discussions about it but have to catch up first (just finished episode 3)..

The fact the options were this or 'literally cease to exist and end Guiding in the UK' is fucking horrific. I hate it here. I grew up in Guides and it was a wonderful, inclusive organisation. The fact they can't continue that is breaking my heart.

I find it very strange how a legal decision which relates solely to gender recognition certificates – something under 18s definitively cannot have – is being used to justify changes to longstanding policies on including trans kids.

It makes me both sad and energised having seen how much of the media is either complacent , appeasing or supportive of the hatred of trans people - the cowardly thoughtless cesspool of mediocrity bubbles with their bylines

Day 2 #WhiskeyAdventCalendar and we have an Indian Whisky..

It is our annual cookie baking day this Sunday and I am looking for cookie recipes.. Do you have any? I can use the internet to convert cup*-based recipes to grams so feel free to share either type! *I also have a set of @nigella.bsky.social measuring cups cause I have always been bougie!

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Yuss!! I solved the daily Clues by Sam, Dec 2nd 2025 (Medium), in 05:04 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 cluesbysam.com

As of now, there is no condemnation of this attack from anyone - spokesperson, Minister, PR - in government. (This comes after the attack on a Brazilian man, where he was left with bleeding on the brain.) The gov are playing with fire and they know it. Shameful.

Day 1 of the #WhiskeyAdventCalendar

Genius idea from tiktok for all my writer friends looking for Irish names!

Actually doing Whamageddon at Christmas is a moral failing, you should be listening to Last Christmas at least once a day if not ten

Himself indoors and myself just played the most ridiculous two player game called Heavenly Bodies.. you play two astronauts attempting to fix a space station.. We had to stop playing several times cause we were laughing too much. heavenlybodiesgame.com

That Dublin! I have returned!

Leaving that London significantly poorer than I arrived but I am absolutely ok with that.. Had a blast of a weekend, from. Hadestown to Dragonmeet to Brick Lane (which for some reason I've never been to before)..

I got to say alternating reputations of SATANIC PANIC and BEING TOO WOKE makes it mildly disappointing when you first play D&D and it's mostly looking at graph paper.

My OH turned 50 that first winter and we had a mini celebration by the canal on a cold crisp day. We got a cheese hamper and a bottle of bubbly and we celebrated.

I have been left unsupervised in a market and now I have 4 rings, a kimono style short jacket and a perfume bar. Pray for my bank account

That London in the sunshine is not bad..

Today's #DragonMeet haul..

I, an adult with nearly 5 decades alive on this planet with this body, have once again burnt the top of my mouth.. Maybe I wasn't meant for cooked food.

We’re not down at #DragonMeet this year as we’re recovering from our many adventures at PAXU! But if you have projects or pitches you’d like us to take a look at, from custom animation ventures to planned Actual Plays, get in touch with us at: 📧 [email protected] Have a great Con everyone!

First pass of the dealer hall done.. I fear for my bank balance! #DragonMeet

Up early for Dragonmeet... It's my first one!

This is why I pay for the World Wide Web. Because it delivers ART!

Well that was excellent

I stan a moving stage and this stage moves! #halftime

Dublin South West Together are raising money to ensure that every child in St John's House has a present to unwrap this Christmas. If you are able to, please consider donating, and every share will help it to reach more people too. www.gofundme.com/f/a-christma...

I'm off to see Hadestown tonight.. I am exhausted so I hope I don't fall asleep.

Having a little art break.. #sketchy

Sweating at Heathrow border control because I’ve swallowed 15 copies of uncut Intermezzo

Ah I forgot I can't access messages on this app in the UK as I have verified myself. If you've messaged me, I'll get it on Sunday evening!

Scored an early check-in.. going to sleep for several hours!
