I still have a lot of “but why don’t the residents let the Order march?” Well, because they remember. A community activist from Ardoyne I won’t name, but goes under Belfast.jpeg, has compiled some of the stories. There are 21 deaths total linked to the Drumcree “dispute”.

Just finished My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk, fascinating challenging read Starting Neuromancer in anticipation of the series coming out. Challenging in its own way but I think the writing style does match the world it’s set in. Liking it so far

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

How women in the Irish music/comedy/arts/entertainment industry in general don't go completely insane is beyond me. Same issues over and over and over. How many have been subtly, quietly pushed out or felt they had no choice but to abandon careers. How much talent have we silently lost.

While the police isn’t yet confirming whether that 43 year old woman was murdered - a post mortem is taking place - a 54 year old man has been arrested, and the police is appealing for doorbell footage. Every day in this place means grief for the women we didn’t even have the chance to know

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my Big Cartel shop? Jeremy Creatures are designed and hand-sewed by me, and they take many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com
Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

I lived in an apartment with an electric hob for years, and longed for a return to gas When I finally moved somewhere with a gas hob I genuinely drove myself close to madness by convincing myself I’d left it on, just after stepping out the front door, even if I hadn’t actually used it that day
