Setting up Gmail on new devices makes me feel physically ill. Heaven forbid I am starting over and don’t have other devices to verify on. Seriously feel like I’ll throw up after all that. No one email me ever again, let’s switch to carrier pigeon and postcards.

Needed a dress for my child’s communion and a separate celebration so went to @oxfamireland.bsky.social on Cook Street here in Cork City and tried on these beauties. Which do you think I bought? #sustainablefashion

Spring in Ireland. As opposed to Irish Spring, which makes people think of the bar of soap whose shavings are handy as a garden pest deterrent. #ireland

A little rebrand that has been in the works for awhile now, but today’s the big reveal. What do you think? Our content will only focus on crunchy foods from now on. Seeking sponsorship from crisp companies and dentists specializing in TMJ. DMs are open.

Tonight, O’Sho hosted a 10th Birthday party for their neighbour Miyazaki Takaway. I enjoyed a pint of their house IPA with the evening’s tasting menu. Gathering with new friends & old, we celebrated the community Takashi Miayaki has built. Here’s to the next 10 years. 🌸 Happy birthday! 🌸

Looks like a typical night out out, right? What if I told you most of the drinks in this video were non-alcoholic? Loving the plethora of sober options available in #corkcity lately. From fancy apple juice at Bayou to mocktails at Fitzgerald’s Bar and at The Stamp Room, we aren’t missing a thing.

My friend June and I were impressed by Fitzgerald’s Bar at The Imperial Hotel Cork’s renovation (from floor to roof everything was restored and upgraded), but the drinks and light bites menu will have us returning for our next girls’ night out. Thanks for having us as your guests for the evening.

Are you a US-based business who ships to Canada? Please use USPS instead of UPS. A $30USD package incurred only $6.70CAD in tax but $33 in UPS customs clearance fees! Same package via USPS would have cost only the tax. I have to refuse the package and it's a small biz (artist) on the other end. 😪🧶

I won't pretend that Amazon's launch of a .ie site is not a threat to many small (and medium sized) businesses here. It is. But if I could ask Irish people to do one thing - don't assume that whatever you're buying will always be cheaper there. A monopoly is in no one's interest. #speirgorm

I moved to Ireland & naturalized as a citizen but also had babies, missed loved ones, dined & traveled, made & lost friends, celebrated at weddings & mourned at funerals, ...but the greatest little joy in living here is randomly seeing someone you know. 💚 Community. ☘️ Happy St Patrick’s Day!

@glucksman.bsky.social ’s brief but meaningful Roots & Reflections exhibit is comprised of work from young school-aged artists across Cork. Each artist reflected on the beautiful nature on @ucc.ie ‘s campus then created art. The results are exceptional and a reminder that the kids are alright.

No trolling, just sharing a glimpse into everyday life here in Cork, Ireland. I’ll admit, I don’t usually buy eggs at Tesco, I get them from Cork Poultry & Game in the English Market. But on a Sunday of a bank holiday weekend if I want to make pancakes, I’vee bought eggs here.

Hidden gem for breakfast in #corkcity Ireland… in the K. o’Connell’s spot in the basement of Dunnes on Patrick’s Street. I’ve gone twice now and it is one of the best breakies. Today, got a ready-made meal to pop in my fridge for tonight.

This morning on a wide path by a busy road, I’m walking along. Look down to check a text and in spite of being the only person walking on that stretch, a man walked quickly toward me and passed so close he heavily brushed my shoulder and arm going past me. Felt oddly aggressive. Why?

I didn’t speak loud enough during my religion class presentation. Professor gave me a lower grade and criticized my ‘voice’ in front of the class. I had laryngitis, asked to delay it and she said no, so I drank very warm honeyed tea for an hour beforehand trying to get my voice back to no avail.
