Micheál Martin applauded at the UN, condemning what’s happening in Gaza/West Bank “Nobody will be able to say that we did not know. Let it not be said that we did not act.’ Meanwhile his Gov has refused visas to fully funded students from Gaza. Talking out of both sides of his mouth

I'm in a train where half the seats are facing forward (left hand side of the carriage) and half the seats are facing backwards (on the right hand side) and there are people choosing to sit backwards. On purpose.

Why are we still marching? Because eight years after Repeal, there are still barriers to care: the unnecessary 3 day waiting period, the unworkable 12 week cut off point, the lack of providers due to criminalisation and conscientious obstruction.

A tourist looking for a bus stop on O'Connell Street just asked me "are you from here?" and out of force of habit I told her no, I was from Cork.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934. MGM loved it, took him on and in 1949 he won an Oscar for ‘Battleground’.

Good morning Bluesky ☀️ My grandad told me he saw the Titanic - from the outset he warned all the people that the ship would sink, but nobody listened to him. He knew he was right and didn't give up. He warned them again & again, until eventually they kicked him out of the cinema.
The Titanic sinking under a moonlit sky.

A seagull landed on my shoulder today, took a bite out of my ice cream cone and flew off screaming in one fell swoop. He (or she, they all look the same) landed on the parapet of the little bridge and laughed at me.
