@liznugent.bsky.social I'm interviewing Colin Barrett right before your interview in Castlebar this evening. So if a strange guy says hello, it will probably just be me. 🙂

Celeste vowed to resign from her brush-rowing night class, as the cohort seemed something less than fully committed. #GirlsOwnCC

Where is the logic in someone saying, "I'm doing a cool thing... I know, I'll get AI to make a poster for it."

It used to be such a positive corner of the online world... friends and their photos. I will think about cutting it loose. x

Instagram always throws patterns of things at me, as I'm sure it does for everyone. At the moment, there is a dire and immediate paranoia, about the state of the world, in the stuff it is showing me. Could do without that shit.

It might be just an Irish thing. It's tied to our library system and allows us to borrow audio books like library books.

Found a two and a half hour abridged audio versions of Smiley's People, brilliantly read by the Author. Just fiinshed it. Thought it was a marvellous way to revisit the story after many years.

I understand that 'live and let live' is not always easy to do but isn't it worth the effort?

Sorry to be simplistic but why can't we just live and let live?
