A #painting for you. "Dooghill" came from a view I enjoyed in Mayo when cycling north from Clew Bay towards the Wild Nephin National Park - looking across Bellacragher Bay to Corraun, Achill and the Mullet peninsula. Sometimes on your own in a landscape you don't feel alone. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

This small megalithic tomb in the north of the Burren of County Clare is likely to be a wedge tomb. These are relatively common monuments in the area, and they usually date to around 2500BCE, during the Chalcolithic Period. A transitional time between the Neolithic and Bronze Age. #SpéirGhorm 🏺

Fellow book lovers! There is a better way to buy our books than Amazon. Instead of putting $ in Bezos' pocket, every purchase on @bookshop-org.bsky.social financially supports independent bookstores. You can even select the bookstore you'd like to support.

Time for a #painting. "East Kilkenny" I painted when sitting on a hill in southeastern Ireland, south of Goresbridge after my poor knees cycled up there. Cows were lazing to the right of me, birds arguing behind me, and the whole world was in front of me. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

Ballynacarriga Castle • Cork This fine towerhouse stands on top of a prominent outcrop, from which it derives its name — Bhéal na Carraige – meaning the 'Mouth of the Rock'. Constructed between the 15th and 16th centuries, the castle is historically associated with the Huxley family. #Ireland

@sarahlynwrites.bsky.social examines the speaker as a mask in poetry: “…poetry’s narration occupies a flirty, winking middle space: Who’s to say if the narrator is the author?”

Thread: With the lurch to the far right in politics, it’s not unusual to hear extremists proclaim the need to ‘save’ Western culture & beliefs, even in Ireland! It’s almost as if they fail to notice that Ireland has survived over 700y of colonial occupation, ethnic cleansing & famine!
