You can pre-order my debut novel Dooneen on @bookshop.org here. It's my sixth debut novel. Pre-orders, as I'm sure you know, are essential to the healthy continuance of society. If you don't pre-order right now, you're basically destroying everything beautiful.

HEARTBREAKING! My little boy is going blind in Gaza. His eyes are fading away. I beg you on my knees, please help me save his sight before it’s too late. I can't bear to see him in darkness forever. Please, have mercy! SAVE HIS EYES!

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Shame on any player who attends this.
Shame on any fan who spectates it.
Shame on the FAI for going ahead with it.
Shame on UEFA for being corrupt, genocide-excusing scumbags.
Shame on Ireland for continuing to tolerate this government's open corruption.

I lived in London for a long time and people do chat away, maybe not as intensely as they do here, I don't think any people on earth do to be honest, but there are a lot of deep and meaningfuls to be had at a London bus stop if you're open to engaging.

Huh. University administrators seem to be screaming β€œMcCarthyism!” and β€œwitch hunt!!!!” a lot louder about guilt-by-association over Epstein than they were when their colleagues and students were being slandered on Capitol Hill and beaten with sticks over Palestine

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

Just when you think you've seen the most brain-dead hysterical media reporting on nonsensical anti-renewables "fears" whipped up on deranged Facebook groups, along comes the epic nonsense below:

if there’s a villain here it’s the bbc not a man with tourettes or the people he shouted a slur at. there are no winners there but the bbc chose to air it and subject him to an unnecessary social media witch hunt while also seeing fit to cut out an award winner saying free palestine… cunts

A fierce storm is coming today... and we are fasting, without electricity, without protection, and bombardment surrounds us on all sides.

Yet our faith remains steadfast, and our patience stronger than anything.

Your support strengthens our resilience.

I haven't been at a gig for ages and ages. Tonight I went to see Stereolab at the Mandela Hall in Belfast and it was joyful. It was a joy to listen to music and dance for a couple of hours and try to forget that the world is away to sh**e. The video is short because I hate people videoing at gigs.

Final weekend. One last push.

This is about whether you want local plumber Hannah Spencer or the extreme Reform candidate.

It's hope vs hate.

It's Greens vs Reform.

Hope can win.
