#Galway #SpeirGorm Looking for someone to look after my puppy in their own home while I’m at work. Looking for someone who understands that a 3 month old puppy is a work in progress. It would be ideal if the person was on the west side of Galway city and has a dog of their own. Here’s hoping. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

This is an incredible achievement for one of Ireland’s newest small presses. And a timely demonstration of the world-class work being done at AC-funded small arts organisations all over Ireland.

A photographer, a peacock shifter, and an (extremely silly, let's be honest) wicked plot collide in a new novella by MOI, out tomorrow! It will not cure what ails you, but it'll distract you for a while, and in this world, that's pretty valuable. <3 www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCF3QG9...

🎂Happy birthday to the CND symbol - which turns 67 today! ☮️Created by Gerald Holtom in 1958, the design incorporated the flag semaphore for the letters N and D to stand for Nuclear Disarmament. However, it quickly gained a wider meaning as a symbol of peace and hope.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS!! As a cis lesbian woman, I am proud of my Trans wife, my Trans friends and I am not afraid to stand up and say the word Trans. Trans people have always existed and will always exist no matter who tries to deny otherwise. I love you all 🌈 #SpeirGorm #LGBTQ+ #TransRights

What better way to start Wednesday than to finish reading a book. From A Certain Point of View:40 stories celebrating 40 years of The Empire Strikes Back starring minor characters in the film. Reminds me why I love #StarWars universe with the depth of writers invested and a myriad of tales #booksky

Weather models showing the conveyor belt of storms in Atlantic could bring some windy weather Thursday and Friday with a risk of stronger winds next weekend. Spells of heavy rain over next 7 days too. Details for weekend subject to change but not looking too severe at present.

Martijn Doolard is a quiet Dutch explorer who bought a couple of ramshackle cabins in the Italian alps and set about doing them up himself, by hand. He makes a gorgeously-filmed, calm, cosy weekly documentary of how it's going. It's a true haven in these times. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

It is STILL Black History Month Y'all! Today, I celebrate THE Diahann Carroll. She starred in the groundbreaking show Julia, starring a Black woman lead in 1968. She is also one of my style icons. Her unapologetic grace & elegance in Dynasty made her character, Dominique Deveraux, a tour de force.

If you're in Ireland there is absolutely no reason to buy ebooks. Get a library card and use BorrowBox, it's free! Why am I posting this at half ten on a Saturday, when I know we're all locked? #speirgorm
