Ok, friends. What are some TV shows we can watch that will help us be "more Irish?" LOL.. But we watched "Money list" (game show with Baz A) yesterday and it was lots of Irish questions- great fun... And "Traitors Ireland" was great, too. Of course we'll watch the toy show this year. What else?

Nah, i see dozens of skulls every day. Just need to grab one that's not being used...

They're decorating the current "cat room." It's going to be a guest room eventually, but for now, the cats have it for themselves.

Just a few beginning watercolor streaks of a heron

I admit. I stuck to working on a watercolour of a heron instead.
They're still murderous bastards, though? Watch one kill a fish sometime, like. They're gorgeous but terrifying.

😂

I read"Three Little Birds" as fast as possible... Loved it so much. and now I really want to do facial reconstruction sculpture in my art class tomorrow. My beginner art class. I... Don't think my teacher will appreciate this... 😆

I love Oyin and Vanessa so much! And Siobhán. 💚

A rook holds a bean in its beak

This rook landed on our cafe table and helped herself to my daughter's leftover baked beans. I'm in love with corvids. I want to befriend them. 😊

I just moved to Cork from the USA and I love love love Traitors and Oyin and
Siobhán and the pagan stuff and Christine and the ogham stones and the cupla focal and Every! damn! thing! about that show and the people. And the wolfhounds.

But yes...I want everyone to see it.

This was a good reminder to re -request @samblakebooks.bsky.social Three Little Birds in Carrigaline. 😁

Yeah. This actually sounds good now.

Thank you again for the prints of my cats! I'm finally unpacking our shipping container and I'll be hanging up the "cat art" soon!
Hope you evaded the flooding. 🤞

A pinkish, stringy food seems to be beef

Just tried "Juicy marbles" vegan "filet" tonight with some teriyaki and sesame seeds, and dang... It's good. The texture is nice, and the flavour was mild. No weird seasoning that made me wonder what it was (it's just soy and beet juice). Yummy.

I'll see you there, stranger. I've just moved to Cork and discovered IDWCON from my former neighbours in the US. this will be my first DW Con. No idea what to expect.

Mo Salah respond to a post by UEFA with: Can you tell us how he died, where, and why? The UEFA post reads: Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the 'Palestinian Pelé'. A talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times

Well said, Mo Salah.

Suleiman al-Obeid was shot dead by IDF forces whilst waiting for food aid in southern Gaza.

Walking down the Carrigaline to Crosshaven greenway today but feeling homesick for friends and family

The arrival of amazon.ie has vacuumed billions already from the local market. Shop small, shop local. Kenny's is a great bookshop, Liber in Sligo and Chapters in Dublin too.

found out on Irish media that you, like us, have recently moved to IE. We're down in Cork. My kiddo is 11... Couldn't get into any of the ET schools around here but found a great school anyway. Happily astounded at how very welcoming they are....so much in common with ye. Glad we're all here.

I haven't seen Space Cat yet in Ireland, but I did walk by Death of the Author in the village library a couple of days ago. ♥️

NEW: Israelis have marched through the capital Tel Aviv demanding an end to the starvation of Gaza.

Protestors carried images of starving Palestinian children & symbolic bags of flour.

A critical reminder that the genocidal force is the Israeli government & IDF, not all Israelis.

We're back in Ireland.
it's gloriously sunny and hot outside: Good hot. Maybe 23°C / 75°F . It's indoors that's kinda stuffy, because there's no air con. But I'll take it. So nice in contrast to Maryland's 90° days with high humidity and dictatorship....

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities.

Too late, judge, but thanks, I guess.

Ben folds improvises with an entire symphony orchestra

NYT headline: “Kennedy Advises New Parents to ‘Do Your Own Research’ on Vaccines” Subheader: “In an interview with Dr. Phil, the health secretary offered false information about vaccine oversight and revealed a lack of basic understanding of new drug approvals.”

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?”
- A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

This is definitely an acceptable level of petty.

I've given up challenging people when they say they've "researched" something on Google. No, friend, you didn't research it. But thank you for playing. I'm trying to teach my 11-year old some critical literacy and what research really is. It's going to be a minute....

Vote coming up for Google shareholders. Obviously, someone connected with the current administration wrote some of this crap.
