For the last few weeks, I’ve been transported to a small town on the west of Ireland. It’s had its moments, as we wrestle with grief, teenage struggles & marital disharmony. But we’re the richer for it. Anyone else read “How to Build a Boat” by @elainefeeney.bsky.social? #BookSky #IrishWriting

‘The solace he seeks is to be found not in nature, but in a removal of nature from nature mediated by cultural exchange, by the gathering of information.’ David Trotter on Ken Loach: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Wear whatever the fuck you want. Do your hair the way you like it. Be whatever gender you are, kiss who you want to kiss, love who and what you want to love. It all goes by so fast and life is excruciatingly short and you only get just the one.

Loved this interview with @elainefeeney.bsky.social about How To Build A Boat. Colm Tóibín asked such interesting questions (with no notes!) leading to a great discussion. It's the last of his superb Laureate for Fiction author interviews (all recorded in Irish libraries) youtu.be/WA2IyXF83XY?...

'This timely book brings together leading historians and sociologists to uncover the hidden dynamics of rural Ireland's evolution' - nice review of our colleague @finnuniofgalway.bsky.social's new co-edited book, Inside Rural Ireland, from last Friday's Irish Daily Mail.

sorry to be enormously basic but the single redeeming factor of this pain in the hole time of year is the excuse we have to make deeply elaborate sandwiches with entire dinners inside of them

It’s the time of the year when people do popular lists, best book of the year or album of the year etc. If you made art, books, poetry, music, in 2024, you made beauty in a world on fire, in chaos, grief, with a broken heart, well done, it is resistance, rebellion, and I love you for it. Thank you
