The cynicism flying around right now. “It doesn’t matter if it’s illegal. They don’t care about the law.” “Calling out people without hearts won’t work.” “Glad the judge ruled in our favor but it won’t make a difference.” IT MATTERS THAT WE TAKE A STAND. We have to retake and reform our culture.

Not planning to directly address (toxic) masculinity in Monk WIP as I have only observed this phenomenon from the outside but a major part of Ciarán’s backstory is rejection of a culture that raised him literally to be a killer.

Have a #painting. "Looscaunagh Lough" came from a lucky day. After painting in Kenmare I packed up my paints and cycled up and over Moll's Gap, and coming down I was arrested by this lake high above Killarney National Park. Caressed by an indecisive rain I sat down and looked. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear
