A general appeal. If you are an author of any book or books available from Irish publishers (via Gill Distribution, Áis, Poolbeg etc) we'd love to (a) sell your books (b) publish your thoughts on your books, publishing, writing - anything - on our shop blog. (1/2)

Check out Colette - a little film by Morgan Brothers on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/mor... - the fundraiser is so nearly there but still 725 euro short with just 30 or so hours to go. Can you chip in and help this Irish film project out?

What a loss - had only got an advance copy of his new book on modern Irish scandals and was hoping to have him on a Monday panel soon. What a body of work he leaves. Frank McDonald, former environment editor of The Irish Times, has died www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

Do you remember when a fundraising campaign for the Navajo and Hopi people went viral during the pandemic, as people recalled the generosity of native Americans to Irish people during the famine? If you were one of those who donated - you are invited to have your photo taken …

This is bracing, remarkable reading by Will Self about Jason Arday, naming names in blistering terms, including several prominent TERFs who joined the kicking of Arday. May Kathleen Stock and Sarah Ditum and everyone else involved never live this down.

Neil, we were there on a boat trip yesterday and the beach was empty of seals because, apparently, overnight hostellers were chasing them at night. We saw a few in the water, but no sign of the colony. You despair of people sometimes
