I’m more a chatter-with & connector-of people than a poster. I’ll remember years later that you once said you like pancakes & tag you in a recipe I just found. Banner - a flopsed rabbit called Chive. Avatar - me in a Giant Chair in Danish Design Museum.

In 2017, the then minister for housing… crucial map… ”Over 2,000 hectares of land suitable for housing in State/semi-State ownership” “potential for up to 50,000 new-build homes on these lands”.

Workers didn’t just ‘figure it out’. By joining a Union and paying dues, where a strike is officially supported by the Union, members get strike pay (as long as funds are available, often supported by unions in other countries). Historically, strikes break when no funding meant starvation/eviction.

Hard to convey just how much better the public sphere is without all the smoking everywhere, all the time. Smoking seemed like it was the primary life task of much of the country when I was small. Even came below eating and drinking.

Cartoon from 2010 when the Horizon oil rig went down. It bugs me when people think Palestine has only been an issue since last October, or trans people have only existed since 2015, or the housing crisis in Ireland dates solely to an increase in refugees, etc….

Realised this is one of many “but I’d have liked that, why didn’t I watch/listen/go to it at the time?” things that were released when I had teeny babies. LOADS of actors who, in my world, suddenly appeared on screen fully accomplished, and I didn’t know till now where they’d cut their teeth.

I was looking for oft-referenced shows I haven’t seen, decided on Veronica Mars, went into Prime & am starting with the Movie as it’s only going to be available for ten more days! I know that’ll be back to front but needs must… anyway, for those with a yen to see it before it goes, you have 10 days!

Pollyanna was never deludedly optimistic: when she had to stretch to be Glad, glad, glad, it was to find the good that even an ill wind can bring.
