Very worried about what is happening in LA. Hoping that there won’t be escalation. Good to see a voice of reason, not another attempt to stir up trouble, echoing historical efforts to create opportunity for oppression. We do know the history and we see what is happening. We see you. We see you all.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Ridiculous that Irish women are even having to have this conversation in 2025 and hope the GAA cope on in 2025 but great t-shirt, how do I get one? 😀

Delighted to read of this new exhibition in @nmireland.bsky.social featuring seventeen Irish manuscripts loaned from Switzerland’s Abbey of Saint Gall! (incidentally Gall is said to have been one of those early saints who accompanied Columbanus from Bangor) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Watched Outrun with Saoirse Ronan on Netflix. Good movie, relatable and emotional story. Great performance by Saoirse as ever. In addition to the strong storyline what resonated unexpectedly was the loss of the corncrakes. They were ubiquitous in Donegal growing up, rare now. Ag chemicals kill.

May we never grow numb to death and violence. May we never grow so cold, so exhausted, so hardhearted that mass murder feels normal, feels inevitable, feels like anything other than what it is: a crime against humanity, against all of us.

American Experience; fly with me. Thinking of high school, it could be a glamorous job? Nuns tut tutting re waste of education to be glorified waitress. Being a nurse would be ok, being a doctor, not ‘an occupation for a lady’. Question about emptying bedpans as a ladylike task did not go well.

Maybe instead of purging the Social Security workers who make sure seniors get their checks on time, we should be expanding benefits to make life a little easier for your parents and grandparents.

5,000 New Irish! I love stories like this. It’s amazing to think so many are coming to Ireland, either finding safety or long-buried roots. People who want to be Irish, not ones who needed to escape this rock, just 30y ago. From theocracy to salvation in a generation. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...
