Finally, thereโ€™s a painting of a dog from The Book of Kells. This one almost broke me. So much knot-work.

Wasnโ€™t sure what my first post should be but feels right to use it to pay tribute to Ken Reid on his sad passing, a constant source of news in my living room reporting all things political, then a battle with leukaemia that touched our house as we were in our own fight. Condolences to his family ๐Ÿ™

I don't think I've followed everyone back.
I will though, if you're sound, anti-genocide, anti-Zionist and if you're funny even better.

King Charles is the equivalent of the Victorians who used to run workhouses with slave labour, but opened soup kitchens so a few less would starve to death.

Except of course that he is far richer than any of those Victorian slave drivers ever were.

Toddler Jack looks out his homeless hub window at Fine Gael election posters

There is no more appropriate image of the legacy of Fine Gaelโ€™s 13 years in government than that of a precious little boy staring out of his homeless emergency accommodation at the faces of the people who claim to be securing his future. We canโ€™t reelect these people. We must not.
