I would like to learn more about information design. Have you taken a course, watched some tutorials, read any books, that you'd recommend on the topic?

Some companies in Ireland are actually 3 companies in a trenchcoat, and each one has to report their pay gap separately. So now I've updated PayGap.ie to show related companies when you click into a company that has a parent company (e.g. Abbott Ireland).

Decided to brave Priory Market on opening night and it is absolutely hopping! This place is going to be an incredible addition to Tallaght, I foresee many delicious meals here.

Don't forget to rinse out every jar and tin you finish, guys x

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.

People who talk shit about sugar. Who was there for you when you were falling apart? Salad?

"Will we try and do something about housing? What about the pension gap? Paternity leave? Healthcare?" "Nah, let's put a Starbucks in the GPO"

Not me being forced to take an actual break in the evenings for a few days because of my broken laptop.

Heartbreaking.

This is what a working mac screen looks like, right? (Those blurry spots are not reflected light, those are icons on my screen. It is very much not working)

I am one of the millions of straight white American men who are being forced to walk on egg shells at work. In my case it’s because I work on the peeling line at the hard boiled egg factory, which was the only place I could find a job as a serial sexual harasser

Friends, I had to have another shower after drying my hair. I am built only for middle-warm. I am incapable of coping right now.

I have washed, and therefore have to dry my hair tonight. In this heat. With a hairdryer. Pray for mojo

Hello a chairde, this is my shop and these are my prints, you should buy some 🤠 selkiesstudio.com/shop

The best part about winning an award is that I never again have to wonder what my face is doing when my mind is a blur of "hahahahahaha what the hell". It's like this.

The Titan documentary on Netflix is enthralling watching. The hubris of that man is astounding, and it's right there on film.

Banning smartphones in schools has little or no impact on the wellbeing of students or their education or on the prevalence of online bullying, research by the Anti-Bullying Centre at Dublin City University has found

Where will these people charge their electric cars? You aren't allowed to trail a cable across a path, you need a driveway to install a charger, and pedestal installs are super expensive. Can't install one where you're renting. Public charging is at least double the cost of home electricity units.

This is good. Forcing someone to have an abortion against their wishes is still covered by medical law. Hopefully #Ireland will one day also #decriminalise #abortion, as it being part of the criminal code makes drs and insurance companies 'risk adverse'. #speirgorm

Some good news, for once! These prosecutions were not in the public interest in any way, and were horrific for the women involved, many of whom had other children who needed them.

People who are showing up with massive bags to the return machines, I'm genuinely curious - are ye just getting through a sack of bottles every week, or saving them up for one trip? If saving them up, why?

Same pundit, same newspaper less than 3 years ago. #Ireland

To all who find today complicated or difficult #HappyFathersDay

Me yesterday: why am I so so tired today? Also me this week: multiple full-on days in a row with lots of driving, late nights, and broken sleep. Anyway I just slept for 9.5 hours and I feel like a new woman.

Do we remember how to lift a trophy? Let's find out. (Of course I'm delighted) #LEIvBUL

Jaysus we're in danger of some actual silverware here... #LEIvBUL

People who leave their dogs outside at night, barking and whimpering, should have their dogs taken off them. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Ok, ok. The shock has settled down. PayGap.ie is now an award winning website, taking home the Social Impact award from the Analytics Institute. I'm thrilled and humbled, we had an amazing night at the gala, and you could have knocked me over with a feather when they said I'd won it.

Lads. LADS. What is happening?!!

It will never not be hilarious to me to see my project in a program with a massive company 😂

I can't help but wonder about all the missed progress and wasted opportunities because whoever is in government would always rather get the pat on the back for writing their own bill, even if it's just a facsimile of a proposed bill, instead of stooping to the low of just cooperating with other TDs.

Christ it's a grim batch of news to be waking up to.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

Any of us who grew up in Ireland during the Troubles remember the children and adults killed by rubber bullets. Savage tools of colonial policing that are rightly illegal in warfare.

Always remember:

if Thunberg is brave enough to repeatedly put herself directly in harm’s way, then journalists can be brave enough to say that a civilian vessel was illegally seized in international waters, and its crew abducted

The IDF has intercepted and kidnapped the Madleen because they didn't want it to deliver baby formula n other things like that to Palestinians who are experiencing starvation due to the Israeli government refusing to allow aid in. That's the story no matter how you window dress it.

SOS! the volunteers on 'Madleen' have been kidnapped by Israeli forces. Greta Thunberg is a Swedish citizen. Pressure the foreign ministries and help us keep Greta safe! Web: government.se/contacts/ X : @SweMFA FB : @SweMFA IG : swedishmfa #AllEyesOnMadleen
