#3goodthings 1. A bite size game for geography nerds maptap.gg h/t @playingwithdust.bsky.social 2. A sun-drenched stroll in Co Kildare with added sculpture, B and my friend @audsme.bsky.social 3. Getting the autumn wardrobe out, especially my fingerless gloves and hooded plaid shirt
 

First pic shows the Ar Aonchothrom sculpture in black and white against a blue shy with fluffy white clouds, and green grass and paths and a canal below.
 
“The three-legged sculpture here is inspired by an 18th-century surveyor's level - an instrument used during the building of the Royal Canal to compare the height * of different locations and ensure the canal was horizontally even.”

 
The second pic is in colour and shows the first pic being taken by a middle aged woman kneeling down in a red plaid shirt

Fun things that happened today (Not fun) 1. 3rd booster pump on fancy heating system fails after 3 years 2. Began residential application for B, for when I die. No clue what I’m doing 3. B’s carer arrived at 6.30 pm. TO PUT HER TO BED. This is the shit facing disabled people. (We were out shopping)

The photo below shows an excerpt from the Irish Examiner yesterday on the upcoming “Cost of Disability Payment”. €40 to €50 a month won’t even get you 2 bags of coal… an insult, honestly! when our weekly outgoings are so much more! #Disability #CostOfDisability #SpéirGhorm #SpeirGorm #Budget2027

No. Social media has created real community. Social media has taught a whole lot of people on the margins that they are in fact much more numerous than they thought, and that we are not alone. Social media *IS SOCIAL*. Civic responsibility went away because Dems & Reps celebrated individualism.

I don’t think they have new housing estates in their sights either as I got nothing, but as a child of the 70s, I always kept battery radios, candles, a superser, and stocks of water and other essentials
