Hit a cow Tried to reverse Went forward Hit it again Reversed back Hit another train Put my foot down to get the heck out of there Took out an owl

17 yo daughter made this on our walk:

Yes #sophiefromromania, I am eating a biscuit

Has there ever been an Irish drag queen called Mount Eithne, and if not why not

How nice that #sophiefromromania now joins us on the sofa for #strictly

A youngster sat in the middle of the Lea. Watch as it flies off. #LondonBirds #nature #wildlife #kingfisher #kingfishers #riverlea #hackneymarshes #ukbirds #birds

Exeter Cathedral had some cool things A saint of dentists, astronomical clock, a marble statue who helps with bellringing (he must come alive at certain times) and a cadaver fomb.

This dog was spotted bopping to a beat so sick, even her vibes are contagious. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (TT: ws.take)

Went to see a Dolmen made for me, The Spinsters Stone. Sadly, again, despite my pleas to the eldritch, I am still a Spinster and have not been spirited away. Such a bother.

Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can capture much of their goofiness in one photo. 🪶

It’s a girls’ evening in for me and #sophiefromromania as @rorycj.bsky.social is out schmoozing at a neurology conference

Irish Rail to remove gender titles from online train booking system - love taking the train, even more so now. Well done @irishrail.bsky.social #speirgorm www.irishtimes.com/ireland/soci...

This is like that bit in Conclave when the wee fella nobody has heard of turns up

So obvious

I didn't even know Kilkenny *had* a comedy club. Turns out we do and three of their comedians were side-splittingly funny at Rothe House tonight. #CultureNight #SpéirGhorm

Danny Boyle's "Sunshine" has an ardent following, and it's not hard to see why. At the same time, for a movie with some brilliant moments, it never quite gels. Let's talk Boyle, Alex Garland, and blowing up the sun: reactormag.com/sunshine-let...

This is Ralphie. He's trying to live up to his reputation as a retriever. Let him cook. 12/10 (TT: ralphiesgoldenlife)

Incredible position. Run don’t walk.

The neighbourhood is awash with cats and #sophiefromromania is desperate to “say hello” to them

The gram is lit today! 🔥 Follow us!

I am currently out and about in Kilkenny city in the gloriously hot gorgeous sunshine! I do not like it. Too hot. Bleh. Why am I out and not hiding in an air conditioned room? #AKA25 is why. The art on display is simply fantastic. I have MANY photos for later. #SpéirGorm #Kilkenny #Arts

Kinda seems like sexual assault tbh

me working to solve the rising sea levels

IT’S STILL PLOVER TIME!! (Piping Plover) #birds 🌿

I was a film critic when Jurassic Park came out, saw a screening of it with other critics on the Universal lot, and when the T-Rex started yelling the movie critic from the Knoxville News-Sentinel grabbed my arm so hard it bruised.

Proper gusty in Kilkenny today! #SpéirGorm

A good wet walk with #sophiefromromania after a disturbed night

It’s nice that we’re having this long warm summer before the Gulf Stream collapses and we’re plunged into a freezing Arctic future

Back in our happy place with #sophiefromromania

A Grey Heron in the Thames, watches a banana foot jiggle hunting Little Egret off to the left, and then, deciding enough is enough, gives the Little Egret a flyby, and departs downstream. Heron Here. Heron Off.

A necessary article. Publishing has changed out of all recognition in the 25+ years since my debut novel. A big problem is the public's perception, and far too much creative writing biz advice, believes the defunct business model where making a modest living was possible, still applies. It doesn't.

Having danced his last masochism tango and ceased poisoning pigeons in the park, Tom Lehrer has died. What a life and influence.

Dandy has settled on top of me again. And she wants her face held. This is my favorite thing.

Who the hell *steals* bookmarks?!?

All of the FUCK OFF I'M READING bookmarks were stolen out of our booth Tuesday night, but Andrews McMeel got us a rush delivery of 1000 more — come by booth 2049 at San Diego Comic Con to get a totally free one, while they last.

Sinead O'Connor who died July 26, 2023. "We need to be compassionate and gentle toward those of our brothers and sisters who have been hurt and are wounded and fragile, while also strong and alive. We should not mock those who are brave enough to show their wounds."

Me right after I pick the hill I'm willing to die on: "is this a good hill? This hill is dumb isn't it"

it seems highly possible that “follow the money” is panicking some people more than birthday cards

Hulk Hogan’s fans don’t want to hear it but let’s be honest: his sex tape was hugely overrated. It was mildly erotic at best

This is Ziggy. She already told her son Zeus to stop doing that with your shoe, but he won't stop. Not sure what to do now. 12/10 requesting backpup (IG: ziggy.acd & zeus.christmas.puppy)

New babies!!!

We spent a few days in Tuam. Read and watch here: www.cnn.com/2025/07/13/e...

Man, I REALLY enjoyed #Superman I think it's a solid 8/10 for me, slight pacing issues and felt they could've let it breathe a bit more in the third act, but GOOD LORD does James Gunn understand what works about these characters Big, camp, fun sci-fi level Superman shit, and KRYPTOOOO
