Ciara | Ciaraíoch 🎨@ciaraioch.bsky.social · 4d ago🏷️ There's a flash sale over on www.ciaraioch.com/artprints on the spookier folklore and mythology prints until Hallowe'en - the perfect opportunity to support bog-hag-made art AND pick up something a little creepier for the cherished undead in your life 🧟
Banger of a film week for me I think.. 1. Man With a Movie Camera - if you like a well edited film, this is a feast. 2. Forgotten Island - a joy of a film 3. Street Fighter - I like what I like and I like this 4. Amrum - just beautiful and gentle #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #letterboxd
given that the campaign was developed by the DRCC based on input from young people and the ham-headed politicians have decided they know better tells you everything you need to know about their real views on childrens' rights, not to mention their right to consent
Simon McGarr@tupped.bsky.social · 2d agoThe distinction being drawn by the Government members is that a hug is non-sexual and so you don't need consent. I simply don't agree and this is a very bad assertion of government policy over children. We had a whole referendum where the rights of children were affirmed www.rte.ie/news/2026/10...
I have been thinking lately (what with the whole Vittorio/Sloss of it all) that men really don't hear rape jokes.. like they hear them and laugh but don't actually connect the joke with an actual living person or actual rape... It's just words.
Snagged one ticket for Paris for Damien Rice's 'O' tour.. not a hope of getting into the Dublin gig.
Currently listening to the one perfect album while waiting for pre-sale to open.. Listen to the release O by Damien Rice on Qobuz open.qobuz.com/album/082564...

Hugely disgusted and disappointed with Vittorio Angelone. Not only did he make a cruel and unfunny rape joke about someone actively in the middle of a rape trial, he was so proud of it that he posted it to his own Instagram page
Just booked my accommodation for next year's holiday but had to have the sad conversation with myself that I can't do the transcanadian train. Sad me is sad.
I know a fair few people are starting to research possibly moving from the UK to RoI due to the hateful restrictions being rolled out. This is a really good recourse, diasporasupport.ie/returning-to... While rights are good and transphobia is low, healthcare is very hard to access.
Returning and LGBTQI+
There are a number of supports that are available to Irish citizens looking to return to Ireland to retire.

Streetfighter had no right to be that good! Zero notes Exceptional soundtrack That one fight sequence in the rain will live in me forever!
NEW Sally Rooney and Faber are not overreacting in withdrawing books from the UK market Their interpretation of Section 15 of the Terrorism Act is not fanciful By me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...
Faber withdrawing Sally Rooney's books from the UK is no overreaction

I am watching The Other Bennett Sister and thoroughly enjoying it . The obligatory 'man coming out of water' scene was delightful with not one, but two , bedraggled men coming out of a lake.
I'm mostly over my HR obsession now (ahead of season 2 coming out next year).. but I did pre-order the annotated scripts earlier this year and it just arrived so maybe I'll be changing my weekend plans and just reading it.
Bit of positive news to start the week: the online voter registration system voter.ie is now live nationwide (having previously worked only for Dubliners) - now anyone in the State can register or update their details on the electoral register in a couple of minutes using only their PPS number.

Boiling the water doesn't help. Bottled water only in those areas
RTÉ News@news.rte.ie · 2w agoMore than 11,000 residents primarily located in south Tipperary but also in parts of Co Waterford have been told they must not consume their tap water until further notice.
I'm pretty sure we had a talk about this possibility at DubSec a while back
Faytuks Network@faytuksnetwork.bsky.social · 2w agoIn France, hundreds of Intermarché and Coopérative U supermarkets were hit by a cyberattack on their refrigerators last night in which hackers “managed to remotely trigger forced de-icing”, AFP reports. The issue is forcing many stores to throw away their fresh and frozen goods.
WB Yeats: Tread softly because you tread on my dreams Also WB Yeats, apparently: Eat stairs, you creepy wizard bastard! bsky.app/profile/ickl...
Ickletayto@ickletayto.bsky.social · 2w agoThe best thing I ever learned about Yeats is that he yeeted Aleister Crowley down a flight of stairs.
Either Euro Country by CMAT or You seem pretty sad for a girl in love by Olivia Rodriguez
Jimusic@jimusic.bsky.social · 2w agoIf you had to listen to only one album for the rest of the year, which would it be? Depending where you are in the world, there are only 81 days left in 2026. Which album would you be content to listen to each day until 2027.
I've now seen two coffee shops offering Ube lattes... I sense the rise of a new trend!
What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff
Alina Pereverzieva 🇺🇦@perevaa.bsky.social · 2w agoAnd now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.
We all know the Beeb is transphobic trash. What should horrify you is them using their power as a state broadcaster to silence a Black lesbian while still profiting from her presence. What should horrify you is their blatant ease in altering what she wanted to say
Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly
treat your body like a data center. consume as much water, art and literature as possible. upset local municipalities with your existence.
