A head-and-shoulders photo of Ruth appears in the centre of the card, against a purple background that has details of the Cork skyline in black at the bottom, along with a white giant robot and dragon and a green UFO.

Reducing the number of new citizens is not a goal in itself unless you don’t like the type of people who are becoming citizens. New people create new resources as well as using existing ones, and Ireland’s population is aging. This isn’t just a matter of being decent, we NEED immigration. #SpeirGorm

I've gotten four creepy marketing scam emails about my book in a day and all I can think of is how my words have been diluted by the weirdos who put them into ai to do make these scams. It feels gross to have the way I think and write stolen and regurgitated via word salad at me

After my shift in Dublin I commuted home. What would be a 25 min car journey took 1 hour and 40 mins on the bus. 4 times as long. Genuinely asking, how is this our normal? The Irish public transport system is such a complete and utter failure. I can't cope with it anymore.

"Shorelines spins the reader’s senses like a whirlpool. It is luminescent, proud, beautiful and heartrendingly poignant." What a gorgeous review of Shorelines, tysm Tanja! 🌊🌊

For that rent to be deemed affordable (30% of your income), you need to be bringing in €7,253 a month or €87,040 a year. The median income in Ireland is closer to €60,000 per household. The housing crisis begets the cost-of-living crisis #Spéirgorm
