I also got the Completionist achievement on Balatro, so I probably could have finished a few more books, but like…

Just finished A Thread of Violence by Mark O’Connell. Gripping, well-researched reporting where the author’s story weaves seamlessly with the subject’s. A brilliant read.

Beautiful. Is that the lilac one? I have had my eye on it.

❤️ Thank you! That is so kind of you to say that.

I have been listening to Reclaiming with @monicalewinsky.bsky.social. It’s enjoyable and inspiring, with a good bit of laughs, too. I well remember the framing of 1998, how her character was absolutely assassinated. I am so inspired by her reclamation of her story/space that I had to share.

I was up at 6:30, excited to read a draft of an essay I am working on. Twenty-year-old me would be scandalized by this event, not to mention its public revelation.

I just got this bag from the Irish maker Anxious Preoccupied. I could fit my desk in here! Absolutely love it and the beautiful pop of green. anxiouspreoccupied.com

Congratulations!

I didn’t snap those up, actually. They were sold on eBay, and some ended up in the Strong Museum, I believe.

We’re so fortunate to have a festival like Cúirt right on our doorstep. This year, I have gone in for the workshops, and they have been well worth it.

Hope to see you tonight at 6pm at Charlie Byrne’s!

Fresh off a call with the upcoming speakers of #1reasontobe at this year's GDC. It's going to be a great session!

I was thinking BASIC first, but…

Why didn’t I think of this! Yes, it’s a great idea.

If you were teaching a 12-year-old to code today, and you had access to an Apple II, would you consider starting there? I find the “I get it!” rewards then were greater than the rewards now. I also like being close to the machine. An admitted bias.

The Spinning Heart is one of my favs.

I am reading Memoir: An Introduction by G. Thomas Couser for my PhD, but I really want to be reading Heart, Be At Peace by Donal Ryan.

Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

Here's hoping more Irish lit mags will join the great migration, but for now I've included all the ones I could find!!

Hi Mike. I wonder the same as I consider making this my primary alt to twitter. Lots of writer accounts, but not lots of posting. I think Instagram has better community, at least for the Irish writing community.

I am here, finally.
