I fucking love the irish electoral process, 2 days glued to stats on social media and RTE, an amazingly transparent process, full of drama. Let's take time to celebrate small victories and reconvene for the battles ahead. Change will come. #ge24.

Simon's post here is a good way to look at Irish voting. Even if you don't have a preferred #1,2,3 preference, sometimes PR-STV means thinking about who you absolutely don't want to get in and working backwards from there. #GE24

The bould EIRSAT-1, Ireland's first satellite, is launching on Friday from California. In 2022 I was asked to draw a stamp-making design for outreach events, so I based it on the original Irish stamps, which celebrated their 100th anniversary last year. Beir bua! 🛰️
