Is Harry Styles... not a straight cis man? Did I miss something? I'm confused.

HBO: have you got those new house crests for us? Designer: sure do, boss. Real dogshit, just like you wanted.

You might be having one of those days where you're thinking "ugh, I'm such a loser. Everyone is more accomplished and impressive than me" but FEAR NOT, because this person exists.

If they put the word "divilment" in the dictionary, this would be the accompanying photo.

I understand that people are upset but at some point you have to pause and think "do I really need to vent my anger in the comment section of a dead teenager's obituary"?

A belated happy black cat appreciation day. Our Katya is so missed. ❤️

A woman mammy knows has broken both her wrists (very sad), she keeps bringing it up, and subsequently the family group chat is hopping with memes. 😭

I'm not one to exaggerate but this fan edit of Michael Collins and Éamon de Valera set to Midnight Rain by Taylor Swift changed my life.

We were talking about Katya yesterday and I was explaining to Rowan that his teddy Katya lives upstairs but our real Katya lives in heaven. There was a pause and then he said "her name is not Kevin". 😭

They have this little pet hotel in our local library and I'm obsessed with the tiny details! CC @erislovesmovies.bsky.social

We had lunch at a place that has one of those overpriced homewares shops attached and I was very good and didn't buy this Jellycat pebble (€45) even though he was CALLING OUT TO ME.

Lovely lunch with @erislovesmovies.bsky.social and then a surprise birthday card from Rowan (a day early!) 🥰

I know this is a bad review but I would LOVE to watch the cast of Friends in Deliverance.

Genuinely don't know who these news stories are for. The kids doing the exams? Teachers? Parents? Is there the same level of national obsession with school exams in other countries?

I think about this video of an "unschooling" family a lot. Her son is 6.

My brother tried to have a bit of a laugh and I nuked him.

Congrats to him but this is advice I can get from my Mammy's hairdresser on Facebook, he's not special.

Westmeath won the senior football final the other day. I was scrolling on social media and saw this post of my mammy with the cup. 😂

My friend Amy gets the best targeted ads. These are from the past year.

I like that she took a strong position on the 8th amendment when she was doing Rose of Tralee but her writing about it always radiated "not like the other girls!"

Every time I see this one's byline she's complaining about something.

And I do have to question the expertise of the doctor who looked at this girl and concluded that she'd be right as rain after a few days at home.

Rowan got Mario characters for his Fisher Price bus and Bowser only fits in the disabled spot so the little wheelchair user got left behind. 😬
