Our beloved Sky passed away six weeks ago and the grief is ebbing. But we had the most beautiful portraits created by the wonderful Jen Ackerman and she captured him so beautifully! Fur baby parents she is an amazing artist for pet portraits #catsofbluesky

Our beloved Sky crossed the rainbow bridge today after an eight month battle with lymphoma. He was 16 and still a fighter to the end. He gave us more love than any human could, pure and unconditional. We’re absolutely devastated. Look after your fur babies peeps 😭 #CatsofBluesky

So proud of Dr Carolyn Ingram as she was conferred today. She was a dream to work with first as my research assistant then as my PhD student. I had the greatest privilege of being her supervisor and mentor. Her research brought me to tears many times it was so excellent! @ucddublin.bsky.social

Sky is still with us. He’s small now as he battles cancer but he’s happy and doing well. At nearly sixteen he’s still a fighter! He was meant to cross the rainbow bridge six months ago but the force is still very strong with this one!

It’s a rough day for a wild swim at Curracloe but we still got in and had great fun! Much needed time with family and nature at a time when I am reflecting on my future and what path to take in my career. Maybe it’s restlessness or maybe I just need to move on. Either way I’ll figure my path 🤔😌

Always a great start to the UCD Certificate in Safety and Health at Work. Best of luck to the class of 2025/26 as they begin their journey with us! Congratulations to Angela Kane for her well deserved Peter A Start Gold Medal from the class of 2024/25! @ucddublin.bsky.social

My Mam would’ve been 79 today, she’s gone nearly 8 years yet I still feel her presence in her kitchen so I always leave roses for her here so she knows we celebrate her all the time. Happy Birthday Mam 😘🎉🎂

Perfect day for a swim at Curracloe after a hectic first week back teaching! Self care is so important as we need to look after ourselves so we can look after our students as they start their new journeys with us!

While I didn’t post any photos for #InternationalCatDay we had good news at the vets today!!! He isn’t dying on us just yet and we’re keeping him well so hopefully we’ll have him for longer! He’s already beaten the odds according to our vet and he’s happy and doing well so long may it last! 🥰

My beloved Sky is dying of cancer. My life is now mostly lying on the floor giving him kisses and cuddles while I still can. He isn’t in pain thankfully, he’s just fading away on us. We’ll help him cross the rainbow bridge. Look after your fur babies peeps, never know how long we’ll have them 😢

Well now we know why he’s losing weight while seemingly healthy every other way. Our baba has cancer and he’s too old for chemotherapy 😢 so now it’s palliative care by the two daddies to keep him comfortable for now. We’ll look at helping pass over the rainbow bridge in a few weeks 🌈😭 #rainbowbridge

My fur baby Sky is now a little old man in a fur coat! Can cat people give me some tips on how to fatten him up a bit as he’s losing weight. Vet says all ok with him just getting older. He’s fifteen now but still as loveable as ever #catsofbluesky

7 years ago today I was with one of my chosen family Jason, when he was given a terminal diagnosis for a brain tumor. It’s a date that’s seared into my brain. He passed six months later but he is always with me and his chosen family. Grief never leaves, it just ebbs and flows 😘

Today was our last practice for 2024. To me the UCD Community Choir will always be my place for friendship through song and I have made some brilliant friends from it over the last eight years! Onwards to 2025! Happy Tuesday everyone 😉

Had a fantastic four weeks teaching climate change to the MDP class in Trinity where I am an adjunct at my alma mater. We wrapped up today with the great debates and it was brilliant. They’re a fantastic bunch of students! And they gave me a lovely card and chocolate!

Today I am thinking about all my trans and non binary friends around the world but particularly in the US where the levels of hate directed at them, a tiny tiny minority, is appalling, disgusting and immoral. My heart is with them all.

Good morning Bluesky! As this is my first post I better smile I guess! Happy to be here and leave the cesspit that tweetland has become 👍🏻 looking forward to good discussions on everything from health & safety, to climate change, to choirs, to cats and everything LGBTQI+
