Did a bit of pumpkin painting with a pal and think I fixed it

A pumpkin painted as the famous Irish Samhain turnip carved head.

Another thing I’ve noticed here in Naples is a lot more bald men here. Like no one is in a rush to get on the minoxidil or go on a plane to Turkey, they just don’t care

It's always a good day to quote Dawn Foster.

I took so many photos; of the ruins, of the cats who’ve made their home on the site, the modern town of Pompei in distance from the ancient one. But none of the people, it didn’t feel right.

We’ve all learned about it in school, and the nerds among us read about them all the time. But the images you see in a textbook or online don’t properly encapsulate what they are until you see them in person

Visited Pompeii today and my main take was I appreciated how they now display the plaster casts. They emphasise the point these were once people, and should not be seen as artefacts, but something else: an imprint of human pain

Meanwhile, from a friend who’s currently cat sitting

A video a friend sent me of my cat who they’re looking after while I’m away. The message reads:

“the way he literally went into a wee distinguished chic pose soon as I had the camera on him looool love him so much you raised your gay child right”

Last week Israeli football fans targeted monkey chants at Black Irish players and chanted for the IDF to kill Irish people. We’ve evidence for that, but none for the claims made by this ‘journalist’. Of course, when it comes to The Special Country, they’re always the victims never the perpetrators

I was raised in the unique chip dichotomy familiar in NZ English; chips can mean both crisps/chips, or fries/chips. You just add “hot” before “chips” if referring to the freshly hot and fried strips of potato. Also, most vocally replace the ‘i’ with a ‘u’ sound in ‘chips’ because fuck it why not

Tonight I spent about twenty minutes explaining to a group of Americans what “chips” and “fries” are in the UK. This was exhausting not because of them (they’re Yanks, things are different there and that’s fine!), more the difference gave myself an existential crisis over the concept of “chips”

there has been remarkably little interest from the Irish press in the takeover of Mount Melleray by a private American university owned by a billionaire with close ties to Opus Dei that recently experienced a major outbreak of measles and has a statue of Charlie Kirk being embraced by Jesus

Had to send a scan of my passport for the hotel we’re staying at in Naples next week, and it’s even worse 😬

A scan of my Irish passport, showing the ID photo. All you can make of my face are the eyes, nose, mouth, ears and facial hair. There is no outline of my head, my face completely blends with the white background.

This is why, every year, the whole of Ireland is required to celebrate the Puck Fair. We can’t just say that hauling a goat into the air for days on end is something just for Kerry. We are a united country, which is why we have airborne goats everywhere.

Even as Miliband said this, people outside the Labour conference were being arrested for demonstrating in solidarity with Palestine. Miliband later refused to meet with protestors. The Labour government's weak little noises about Gaza are pure hypocrisy and cynicism.

Weird how we can instantly arrest the peaceful protesters on the most extreme of charges but it takes days to arrest the violent racists on the most minimal & penalty free of charges huh

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.
