156. Frida Slattery As Herself by @anakinsella.bsky.social I loved this novel following a creative partnership - and the sacrifices and betrayals it entails -across nearly two decades. A must-read for any theatre-lovers.
"how were people writing 10 page papers before AI???" we were smarter than you. you could've been smart, too. but you sold your brain for nothing
‘It isn’t enough simply to condemn attacks after they occur. A response centred solely on policing is treating the symptoms while ignoring the causes, and may even contribute to further alienation.’ Luqman Saeed in Belfast, from the blog. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/ju...

Deeply funny to me that my novel FRIDA SLATTERY AS HERSELF is one of THREE Irish novels about people making television published today. THREE! Please buy all THREE and spend your summer immersed in this strange microworld
Today is publication day for my book, Prestige Drama. It's a funny, angry book about Derry, memory and Troubles-scented television. I think it's quite good, however I can *confirm* that it's quite short. But don't take my word for how great it is, look at all these lovely people saying that.
this brilliant, funny and romantic book about sexy, bickering writers is by @urchinette and is published today. you should all go out now and buy it

Strange to wake up today in December 2019 and again see the sensible and serious throwing everything they can at a politician who wants to redistribute wealth because his politics are a bigger threat to their privates schools and second homes than the far right
tucked at the end of this is my one great idea to save the UK. Ok I'll just say it. We should nationalise Nigella anakinsella.substack.com/p/seven-thin...
Seven things I liked this week, 22nd April
And one single thing I can't stop thinking about

I love the 1926 census. I love this period of Irish history! I love the fervour with which people translate their English names into Irish. I love when people write 'single' for their baby's marital status and then frantically cross it out. I love finding a woman with a job that isn't domestic help
My main takeaway from the past week is that I really love living in a high-tax society that allows things like agriculture and the arts to be subsidised! (genuine and earnest tweet)
are you gonna have time to make any good art if you're so busy being concerned with whether or not your housemate is engaged in active artistic practice? www.irishtimes.com/culture/art/...
Basic income for arts scheme ‘causing segregation’ and open to abuse, officials told
One artist says housemate is availing of the scheme even though they do ‘not appear to be actively engaged in any creative practice’

perhaps a small group of self-employed people dissatisfied with their profession's trade unions and organisations shouldn't be able to shut down the city centre for days on end... perhaps...
The Foggy Jew@hmcevansoneya.bsky.social · 4mo agoLong story short this reminds me of the old farmer protests: grievance driven, short termist, selfish, long term counter productive, outsize impact versus number of people involved, generally ignored by most. Only concern is increasing involvement of far right, who are not all just outside agitators
Fun to see all the reactionary elements the government has spent years stoking in order to destroy any chance of a united opposition to the housing crisis turning on the government because of the fallout of a war the government refused to really condemn. Politics eh?
The Journal@thejournal.ie · 4mo agoTaoiseach: “The protests at the moment are wrong. To prevent mobility, to prevent people from accessing livelihoods, medical appointments, disrupting day-to-day activities in the manner that has happened is wrong, and is a wrong form of protest.” jrnl.ie/7006282
If climate protesters had blocked roads for as long as the fuel protesters did, there would be people on the radio demanding the army be called in to shoot them all

I love the Unhedged podcast. 25 mins of doom about how death raining from the skies is impacting the markets and then "... and now it's time for Long/Short. This week I'm LONG on shorts in the office and SHORT chewing gum."
I'm delighted to see more and more voters in the UK wake up to the fact that the Green Party is a well-organised, big thinking, progressive party - a real party!!! - that represents their interests. Go on Hannah Spencer!
