Today is World Jellyfish Day!

So of course we’re taking a look at Jellyfish Lake by Dorothy Cross, which was filmed in an isolated lake in Micronesia where millions of golden jellyfish migrate across the lake daily.

Happy Samhain and Halloween to everyone!!

And it's time for my annual PSA that women brewing in UK and Ireland were not removed from the beer trade via en masse witchcraft accusations and the modern witch stereotype doesn't come from their garb either

Friendly reminder, if you see someone this Halloween wearing the plague doctor with the bird beak mask costume, you have to ask them what they are supposed to be and if they then say they're a medieval plague doctor... it's your duty to correct them ;)

Really intrigued to listen in on today’s seminar on digital preservation hosted by @dri.ie #WDPD25 😁

West Cork's most exciting island arts festival opens on the Wild Atlantic Way Take the ferry to Bere Island - it's the place to be this weekend

Bere Island the place to be for Arts lovers this weekend - loads of ferries and day-trip options available

Ninety-nine words for rain in Irish: could it actually be true? Manchán Magan has set out to collate as many weather words in Irish as he can. Bear in mind that it will rain hard if a leprechaun of the ditch comes into the kitchen

When will this be on show Leeann?

Dr Nick Maynard.

Professor Nick Maynard, consultant in internal medicine, reports on the dreadful medical situation in Gaza. Israeli border guards seized infant formula from is fellow Doctors entering the genocide scene that is Gaza. Children died unnecessary as a result. #Gaza #Cork

This evening!!

The new tariffs are going to hit artists particularly hard if it means losing customers in the US, so I'd ask Irish people to please consider buying local, from Irish makers, where at all possible. Support that means little to a huge business makes a massive difference to small creators. We need ye.

Famine has not “struck” Gaza.

It is not the result of some natural disaster. It has been engineered.

Famine has been inflicted upon the people of Gaza by Israel, who have been facilitated by their enabler allies.

Cork City Heritage Open Day - never been inside this building before, Cork Savings Bank on Lapp’s Quay! #HeritageWeek

I've squeezed between the 3 beds in a small single room to sit beside people in tears because of how degraded this man's accommodation made them feel I've written letter after letter to try to get them suitable food (halal, suitable for allergies) but no, he couldn't afford it. #speirgorm

As the West turns itself inside out in pretending not to fully grasp the extermination campaign being waged against an entire population, this from the Guardian about sums it up.

Such a lovely event Leeann, hope you enjoyed every minute !!!

Two months into Israel's full blockade on aid into Gaza, humanitarians described scenes of starving children and people fighting over water, with aid operations on the "verge of total collapse".

WHO’s emergencies director, Mike Ryan, sounds the alarm on Israel’s ongoing genocide operation in Gaza. Netanyahu has turned the strip into an open air concentration camp and is deliberately starving civilians.
