This is brilliant! I'm absolutely mind blown and will be using these folk names for all our garden birds from now on. And I'm looking forward to seeing the heron at Heuston Bridge and shouting "Ralph!".

HAL JORDAN: In brightest day, in blackest

BEASTIE BOYS: NIGHT!

HAL JORDAN: No evil shall escape my

BEASTIE BOYS: SIGHT!

HAL JORDAN: This is awkward because when I invited you I thought I was messaging Beast Boy from the Teen Titans.

Anything involving policing technology needs to be hyper transparent about funding and AI.

lede to an irish times article about Harry and Meghan by Patrick Freyne.

A reminder that in 2021, @patrickfreyne.bsky.social wrote the best explanatory lede regarding colonialism and monarchy that I have ever seen. www.irishtimes.com/culture/tv-r...

Trans voices and experiences are not counted as evidence. The bias in science is so rarely recognised but so harmful to minorities.

Illustration featuring all the women of the Mini Mná series.

#art #blueskyart #speirgorm

A few years ago I made a series of mini drawings of interesting Irish women (available as a print here www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...) - this thread is a little information on the women featured, partly because it's useful, but mostly because I'm trying to be sustainable by recycling content.

A woman with a bell in her hand standing on a carriage as a man (Winston Churchill) stands in front of a crowd giving a speech.

International Women's Day 2026, (with all that's going on in the world), is a good day to remember the "suffragette spirit", & in particular Irish suffragette Mary Maloney who, in 1908 every day for a week, followed Churchill to his public engagements & rang a bell to disrupt him each time he spoke.

ALL Women must stand together on International Women's Day

Graphic image of women's outlines in different colours like watercolour.

On International Women’s Day, we reflect on the importance of solidarity between women🩷

For over a decade, the conversation around trans rights has been used to divide women who would otherwise stand together. This weakens our ability to challenge the real sources of inequality, misogyny & violence

Collage poster for International Women's Day and Women's Rights. Top: Woman in black top raising fist with pink "Women's Rights" sign amid protest crowd. Pink "International Women's Day" text, EU flag. Bottom: Green background with Justice statue holding scales and pink Venus symbol, large white "EQUALITY" text, "International Day of Women's Rights" caption.

Brilliant European women powered progress, but the credit did not always go to them.

She's ex-feral and has only recently (after 3 years) started to try out the joys of being a lap cat. This is more usual. Mirroring. Sitting beside me on the sofa.

Still won't let us pick her up. Greased weasel.

Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled “U.S. Central Command – Unclassified” shows a strike.

“Imminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

The title should have lapsed once Ireland became independent. Anything else is ongoing colonial bullshittery. Ponces.

Why would you be Portarlington when you could be Cúil an tSúdaire. The train announcement loves the "Cooooool" at the start.
