The Doomsday Club by @kmoranwrites.bsky.social suspenseful, intriguing, at moments terrifying “school” adventure…and an Irish-speaking, monster that is not quite as frightening as you might think. Fabulous, just fabulous! @theobrienpress.bsky.social fallenstarstories.wordpress.com/2025/02/25/t...

We've had a great response since launching our service last week. Landowners from Antrim to Wexford and from Kerry to Meath have been in touch and are ready to pledge their land for rewilding!

Here's a little you can do to help correct some of the stupidity floating around out there. Just a little thing...but little things have a habit of growing. You know what to do...

Today is the feast day of my favourite saint, St Gobnait...patron saint of beekeeping and ironworkers. Since there is a long history of both in my family, I thought I should mention it. #stgobnait #savethebees🐝 #beekeeping #ironworkers

Thinking of Daddy, today. It's been 44 years since he left us. (No, it doesn't get any easier...you learn to cope.) I remember that day as if it were yesterday. Miss you, Daddy and love you always. You will always be my guiding light. 💔

It's Groundhog Day! (Please don't mention the film...my breakdown is imminent, as it is.) Beloved Punxatawney Phil, seer of seers, has made his prediction: 6 more weeks of winter (conceivably, 4 more years, given the current situation.) Don't shoot the messenger. #GroundhogDay2025 #PunxatawneyPhil

I do not want to give him attention on my feed. I have no words for the utterly incomprehensible heinousness of the man & his cronies. He will stop at nothing, we know. But this...seriously?!?!!

The Hotel Balzaar by Kate DiCamillo: (originally reviewed for Inis Magazine) a tale to be treasured; thoughtful, gentle, full of belief, imagination &heart, quietly enchanting & extraordinary; the kind of fairytale every child should grow up with. fallenstarstories.wordpress.com/2025/01/21/a...

Current Blue Monday situation... #bluemonday💙 #BusStopPhotos

It's Blue Monday. I know there is no scientific evidence, but there is much empirical & social evidence supporting that it is the bluest day of the year. But...it's one day and it will pass. Just remember, kindness wins...every time. Be kind to each other. Be kind to yourself. #bluemonday💙

I don't believe in "good reading" & "bad reading". Comic books, graphic novels, manga, picture books, joke books, sports reports, all kinds of poetry & prose: it's all reading, and it's all good! Let kids read for pleasure - and they'll be readers FOREVER! #reading #literacy (Art: Bill Watterson)
