Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 4hMy cousin wanted something cool but rather than a saint's name, he was told it had to be in the Bible. So he went with Samson 101
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Ngl I was very much judging everyone not giving us little beeps 070
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Conversely, it didn't happen in Ireland until 1993 so not sure you could argue any influence there (and definitely not "quick") 080
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Ah yes, the much overlooked eighth book, The Magician's Third Cousin Twice Removed 1280
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Fascinating story. Wouldn't it be nice if his cousin donated the inheritance to Cope in recognition of all they did for him? 000
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I suppose government TDs could avoid physically passing it by going in via the Government Buildings tunnel (although Dept of Taoiseach staff will presumably be picketing too) 000
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The funny thing about a parliamentary democracy is that it very much relies on the people who work there to function 020
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Yeah they teach them to read but they don't teach them actual literacy 010
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Like how all horses have the same birthday, makes sense 081
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Way too excited to put my electric blanket back on the bed 000
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yep, that's what a judge and jury are for - because a victim's family can't be objective (and nor should they be expected to be) 050
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I know of another Roy but he was named after Keane so probably shouldn't count 000
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 05/10/2026As someone whose face is at many people's backpack height, I feel very strongly about this 020
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 05/10/2026If how the character looks is important to you, maybe hire someone who actually looks like that! Otherwise just let actors use their own damn faces 000
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Couldn't watch the Penguin TV show either cause I couldn't not think about the fact that that's not a real face 100
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I will not be watching that Digger film because I simply cannot stand unnecessary facial prosthetics 110
Reposted by DoireannAoḋán Ó Conġaile @tinydonkey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Always funny when people get pissy about, of all things, *work to rule*. They are still doing their jobs, to the letter of the law in fact. That is causing problems is a serious indictment of how much extra people are expected to do in their job. 311650
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Ngl I thought Michaelmas was an old word for Christmas because it was the term leading up to it 011
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Huh, I always assumed it was an embryo implantation scenario (Jesus essentially being a clone of his dad and all) and that Mary's eggs weren't involved at all 130

T'is nearly Halloween. @brendanjharkin.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The DUP and SF have been in a staring contest over who will collapse stormont first and I don't see how that won't happen when a load of people get battered off the road by the PSNI so 35 pricks, who've been using an alternative route for 28 years, can march down a road full of taigs. 616240
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I remember when 10,000 was considered bad - soon it'll be double that 000

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. 42103694406

Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 17/09/2026That is probably the closest she's ever come to reading a history book tbf 030
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Maybe Mary Boleyn but I wouldn't go as far as saying she affected the House of Tudor? 110
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Yeah I would assume he came from European royals who were themselves descended from Victoria (as most of them are) 010
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 16/09/2026It's the first day of the new Dáil term so that tracks, he always drives it up for that 020
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 16/09/2026While the show in general did take a dive after Palladino left, the actual ending of Rory choosing not to marry Logan so she could follow her career was one of the better choices they could have made 010

Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 15/09/2026First item of business in a United Ireland should be revoking Sheeran's Irish passport 150
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Also odd that he equated "not sure if I liked it" with "I didn't understand it" 000
Doireann @doireann.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I also think once someone has won an acting Oscar they shouldn't be eligible for that category again (but I would add a special champion of champions type category for all previous winners) 010
Reposted by DoireannMary Gillis @marygillis.bsky.social · 15/09/2026My Emmy hot take is once an actor wins for a role, they shouldn't be able to win again for that role. We already know they're good as that character, now give someone else a turn. 1042926
