I’m almost finished The Priory of the Orange Tree. I’m going to be bereft. What should I read next? New to fantasy genre but read all of Rebecca Yarros & Sarah J. Maas’ books.

A healthy activist group will encourage its members to pay attention to their own limits. If you’re being pressured or shamed into partaking to the point that it affects your health or wellbeing, you’re not in a healthy group.

I’m only on chapter 26 so maybe over a third of the way through this The Priory of the Orange Tree but Ead & Sab? 🥰🥹

For those of us of a certain age😁😂 #SpeirGorm #Ireland

Today would have been my Mum’s 82nd birthday! It’s so weird when someone dies, she will always be 79 to me & my Dad will forever be 69. 🤍🕊️

If any beauty PRs are updating their database, especially for Dublin, I’d love to be added! #ProductPhotography

If your brand is looking for unique visual content, styled product photography & e-commerce imagery, drop me an email.

Goods secured. I thought today was 5th, so it would have been my Mum’s (heavenly?) birthday but no, it’s tomorrow! 😅😏 It IS Friday right? 💤

The sweetest angel boy. Who needs a haircut! I promise he can see. 😅

Meanwhile, on Heard Island…

I just want to drop my body off at the gym while my brain and I go to the bookstore for a coffee, is that too much to ask?

I want a cat so badly but sadly not in a position to care for another pet right now! Why do ginger cats have the reputation they have? 😂🐈

I’m levelling a 69% tariff against straight people.

The news

Happy #WorldAutismDay to all my autistic pals, especially those of us who found out late in life and are still grieving all those years of being misunderstood and judging ourselves for not being able to be 'normal'. What a relief it was to find out I'm autistic. Suddenly everything made sense ❤️

I refer to growing up in the acid rain/ quicksand/impending nuclear conflict era as being "classically trained" in generalized anxiety

Netanyahu is openly gearing up to commit a crime of unthinkable proportions - the forced ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, with the continued backing of the US. Every sane and civilized country must oppose this.

The horrors persist but so do the chores. The world is on fire & yet I STILL have to dust.

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

Happy April Fool's Day to all my fellow fools, óinseachs, amadáns, and eejits, we are the confused daughters of the witches that wouldn't learn 🩷

i don't think that after all we've been through in the world we should have to put up with april fools social media content. it's all so bad and embarrassing - thank you for your time.

The double standard in the way protests are policed is staggering: today Mothers Against G3nocide activists holding a peaceful protest outside the Dáil were dragged away and arrested by Gardaí. #mothersagainstgenocide #dublin

Even the sky is celebrating #TransDayOfVisibility #Speirgorm

Irish Times headline about the Gardai physically removing a bunch of mothers protesting against genocide fails to mention either mothers or genocide for some reason

Remember when the guards just let a bunch of far right goons block access to Cork library after the spent weeks repeatedly visiting bookshops to harass and film staff, to the point that Easons had to get a security guard?

Oh so it turns out the guards can physically remove protesters when they feel like it, huh

The streets actually *are* more dangerous but not in the way you think pt 2

Trans Day of Visibility. If you have someone in your life who is questioning their gender lend them a sympathic ear, you don't have to have any answers. Make them feel accepted and loved. These small acts of kindness are a form of resitence during this harsh time for trans people. love will win.

Committing & facilitating a gen0cide not a problem, US planes through Shannon no bother, enacting the OTB or imposing sanctions oh we can’t be doing that but MOTHERS peacefully holding a vigil for the Mothers in 🇵🇸 outside the Dáil - wait a damn minute = our government probably.

I don’t know about you but I feel A LOT safer knowing those notoriously violent MOTHERS are off the streets. *sarcasm.*

Garda forcibly removing & arresting Mothers peacefully holding a vigil for the ongoing gen0cide. Surely they’ve better things to be doing? What a waste of resources.

FRANCE: Put the felon in prison and bar them from running for president. UNITED STATES: Elect the felon president.

If my work load for the day included forcibly removing a group called 'Mothers against Genocide', who were having a peaceful sit down protest, I would seriously question that. Anyway tis begining here. You'll be arrested for wearing a keffiyeh yet.

It's International Trans Day of Visibility, Much love to all my Trans folk. Today dedicated to celebrating Trans people, raising awareness of discrimination faced by Trans people, and acknowledging their contributions to society ❤️🌈 #TransRights #SpeirGorm #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV #HumanRights

In Ireland you can hang around the Dáil with nooses on posters, you can harass and attack refugees as they enter emergency accommodation, you can even set those same accommodations on fire...but don't you dare have a peaceful vigil in protest of a genocide.

8 mothers who were staging a peaceful protest against #genocide have been arrested outside the Dáil. Welcome to #fascist #Ireland. @fiannafailparty.bsky.social @finegael.bsky.social @simonharrisireland.bsky.social @micheal-martin.bsky.social #spéirghorm #irishpol

Finished reading the Throne of Glass series. I’m going to miss Aelin & the other characters.

Remember that side eyeing baby? This is her today. Feel old yet? #TheWhiteLotus

A tragedy is unfolding in the United States with shocking rapidity. Academic freedom, judicial independence, investigative journalism and civil society are dying. The lifeblood of a culture is draining away and the spirit of a nation is evaporating. The American Dream is gone.

Eid Mubarak! For those celebrating, I wish you a peaceful and blessed celebration with good food and good company.

Casual coffee run, outfit details!

Read all of the Rebecca Yarros & Sarah J. Maas books. Should I read The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon?

Why can’t I add photos on here? The app has full access in my phone settings 🙃

CAST IRON PAN: we demand to be cleaned by hand, you will dry me properly or we will rust all over you, and don’t even think about using that metal spatula because… ME: of course, of course, nothing’s too good for my special little pan MY BODY: can we have some water? ME: shutup, coffee is water

ACOTAR was my gateway book. What do I read now that I’ve read everything by Rebecca Yarros & Sarah J. Maas. I appreciated Xaden as much as the next gal but I’d rather if the 🌶️ was sapphic.

If you too have some deeply ambivalent feelings towards Mother’s Day this weekend - sending love!

I'm currently looking for a new job, ideally in the charity, NGO, advocacy space in Dublin. Any intros or support would be greatly appreciated.

Comment of the day. #irishpol
