My lovely dog and a nineteenth-century novel - such a nice bank holiday Sunday.

I imagine Derek Kelly @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social lives in a house with a garden and a back entrance given the arrogance of this statement re people living in small houses and the ban on bin bags with no consultation www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dubl...

My beloved dog Lola has been stabilised for the moment thanks to the little blue pill that is viagra 😳 Science is wonderful.

Well, apparently hare coursing.

Corgis are such wonderful dogs - yes, all dogs are wonderful.

And DCC have threatened residents with no back yard/entrance with action if the bins are on the street. Where are they supposed to go @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social This is not 1913; residents in the inner city are entitled to live safely and without the hygiene issues that the council are imposing

A bookshop event begins with panic, chairs and someone saying, “Do we have enough room?” Then people arrive, the bookshelves become the backdrop, and the shop turns into a tiny republic of stories. This is culture at human scale. #Indiebookshopweek @booksaremybag.bsky.social

Brilliant @johncreedon.bsky.social show tonight as always but so missing my listening companion - my beautiful corgi 🦊Lola who is in UCD vet hospital tonight. Dogs do not live long enough.

Through a review of histories on institutional complicity in the Nazi regime, author Lauren Arrington reminds us that fascism is enabled by individual choices—and that “every person might choose—at any moment—to refuse.”

Resistance Disguised as a History Lesson: Fascism and the University - Public Books

Her student—a former Nazi stormtrooper—was proof that no one was lost to the new regime, that every person might choose to refuse.

My beloved dog Lola is in UCD veterinary hospital for the second night with what seems to be heart failure and some lung issue. I am broken hearted. In other news I got promoted. I am delighted but I just want my lovely dog to be back sitting alongside me at my desk at home. 🦊

Trying to get into and out of Cork on a day you didn’t realise there was match “down the field” 🤦‍♀️😩

I know, I know, football … but I missed the @johncreedon.bsky.social show.

In 2026 @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social is forcing people in small dwellings with no back entrance or space in inner city Dublin to live in tenement conditions as per 1913. A caddy is a a bin by another name. It still has to be dragged through living areas with dog and other dirt on it. 1/2
