New bag!

Some YA fantasy authors who to my knowledge have never funded an attempted trans genocide: Terry Pratchett Diana Wynne-Jones Garth Nix Suzanne Collins Susan Cooper Phillip Pullman Rick Riordan Pierce Brown Sheri S. Tepper V. E. Schwab Rachel Hartman Alex Pheby Alan Garner Ursula Le Guin And more!

“People think I hate children, but that’s not true—in fact, I love children so much, I’ve decided you can live with me, forever and ever,” the 28-year-old Chappell Roan said https://theonion.com/chappell-roan-makes-amends-by-kidnapping-11-year-old-fan/

In the train station early so I thought Bluesky might enjoy seeing the oldest postbox in Ireland (and older than any in the UK I believe)

This is really good.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Today's t-shirt for the day that's in it.

Go and dance a little jig for the narcissist Micheál, and if you're lucky and he's entertained then he may throw a few coins at your feet.

So fucking spineless.

Rediscovering the Discworld series over the past year and a half, after not having read them since I was a teenager has been such a joy.

Remembering Terry – in our hearts and on our bookshelves. #TerryPratchett

There's a full address there if anyone wanted to write to them. There's even a hard to make out phone number for... customer service?

He wore the RA's Gerry Beret - the kind you find in a second hand store?

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

The next few books on my reading list.

Honestly seeing bloviating ballsacks like Paul Treyvaud, Peadar Tóibín, Niall Boylan and Ian O'Doherty having an absolute fucking meltdown over a Dublin Zoo promotion is so ridiculously unhinged.

Dear Mr Tóibín, Sincerely, what the fuck are you talking about?

Irish right wingers are now losing their shit over... checks notes... Dublin Zoo????

How I arrived on Bluesky

Fucking finally!

Notice how he doesn't use words like "reprehensible" for price gouging. Those kinds of words are only for special occasions, like when someone points out an obvious mistake you've made

My friend's husband has a kickstarter project and it looks awesome. High drama and high camp? Count me in.

thought you probably needed to see this

Current listening

The first new episode of The Muppet Show since 1981 is just as great as I could have possibly hoped for and perfectly recaptures and holds its own against the classic series.

Got myself the perfect shirt.

Genuinely gutted about Catherine O'Hara

I know I don't shut up about this but, fellow Irish people, if you see a racist sticker when you're out and about, then tear it off. It takes ten seconds. Even if you only manage to tear away a part of it, it shows that your neighborhood doesn't stand with the small, hateful people that put them up

When ordinary people are literally putting themselves in front of armed goons in armoured trucks it really makes clear that all those craven m/billionaire CEOs like Tim Cook should never know another days peace and should be shunned by all decent people till the day they die

Currently reading King Sorrow by Joe Hill and it's such a big and heavy book that I'm worried that reading it will give me a hernia.

Priest: "Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Micheál Martin: "Let's not jump into a kneejerk response here, in terms of falling in love. There are many factors, elements even, to consider, in terms of commitment, loyalty, the willingness to share a life, in terms of marriage."

Genuinely so freaking excited about this.

How big of an arsehole do you have to be to make Michael O'Leary look good?

Randy Newman was right all along.

QTP with a food to show where you live

Pretty much spent the whole of today repeatedly saying "Stupid Canadian wolf bird" in a Russian accent.

not my house but i know my way around

I got the blu ray reissue of Jim Henson's The Storyteller for Christmas and I've been rewatching episodes here and there ever since and it is so so good. Must be one of his most under-appreciated projects.

Heated Rivalry (2025)

Sensing a pattern?

So so true. This is why I find so much of the liberal/centrist mocking of Trump to be toothless and ineffective.

Going to start watching the gay hockey show this evening.

Someone from Cork telling you they’ve had a busy day

Little Shop of Horrors (1986) Behind the scenes 📸

When I die I am donating my body to science fiction.
