Dear Bluesky I'm sorry I only remember you exist when I have a journo request - but I'm back again.

If you bought a home recently and feel some relief about not having to rent anymore please chat to me about it xx Dms open!

calling all queer and trans people who were involved in the catherine connolly campaign: would you like to speak to me for an article i am writing? (i would love to get as many different perspectives as possible)

Hi there, coming to you with a #journorequest

Did you or someone you know manage to improve your posture? If so, please let me know how!

Excerpt from the article: "The anti-immigrant activists also carried a flag of Jesus of Nazareth – possibly history’s most famous refugee - and Welsh-born immigrant, St Patrick, much to the mirth of onlookers, who posted dozens of bemused videos on Galwegian social media channels regarding the marchers’ misspelled ‘Galimh’ banner. United Irishmen, crowned harps, ‘Erin go bragh’ and Sacred Heart flags were also flown by marchers, who played songs by lifelong socialist, Luke Kelly, amplified through loudhailers. One woman was dressed up as Anglo-Irish nationalist and socialist revolutionary, Constance Markievicz."

"Visitors stage anti-migrant march in Galway"

Other journalists should take notes on reporting from Maxim Kelly.

I cleared out my dad's study after 17 years — I needed that room because I didn’t have him It took Megan Roantree 17 years to clear out her late father’s room. As she sifts through his possessions, she explains why she wouldn’t have it any other way

Wrote about being a bit of a hoarder and how grief makes that complicated. We sort of cleared up my Dad's room recently, 17 years after he died. I wrote in defence of why it's okay that it took so long. Don't let people tell you how to grieve ✌️

I'm fascinated by Molly Mae & her mass appeal. When we think of the IT girls gone by, they were bold, messy, party girls. Now, they're more likely to be in favour of a stripped back social life. I loved exploring this for @irishexaminer.bsky.social

I particularly loved exploring the rise and rise of the Claddagh ring, its origin and current hold on Irish people, as well as my own association with the fáinne for @irishtimes.com 💍💚

Hi Bluesky 👋

👰📢 Wedding Content Creators

Did you have one? Do you work as one? I'm looking to chat to people about mobile-first wedding content for a feature #journorequest

I'll try these as separate posts too but just to put the feelers out for the mo!

Gonna try some #Journorequest over here if you'll humour me.

I'm looking for people to talk to me about three very different topics for 3 different features:

1. Their grá for Claddagh rings
2. If and why you love Molly Mae
3. If you had/want or work as a wedding content creator
