𓋹 𝕰𝖔𝖌𝖍𝖆𝖓 𓋹 @theeoghaneffekt.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Half an hour will officially mark the beginning of week 8 in hospital btw. My PET/CT scan on Monday showed that the infection of my aortic graft has slightly improved but is still active. My heart surgeon is keen to avoid further surgery so we're continuing with the IV antibiotics indefinitely. 100

Their cries about "nationalist supremacism" and "so much for a New Ireland" are pure projections, they play victim to try and disguise (albeit poorly) their sectarian triumphalism. 010

A 5-1 demolition in Celtic's favour. A Moussa Dembelé hat trick. Celtic go on to a treble-winning Invincibles season. All nearly a decade ago now. Madness! 100
𓋹 𝕰𝖔𝖌𝖍𝖆𝖓 𓋹 @theeoghaneffekt.bsky.social · 05/09/2026The Orange Order's push, after 28 years, to march down the Garvaghy Road just demonstrates that mutual respect is still an alien notion to loyalism and seemingly always will be. The residents have once again made it very clear where they stand and want nothing to do with the sectarian shitfest. 031

Still being pumped with antibiotics, which is why I'll be here for weeks yet. 000

They have diagnosed aortitis (inflammation of the aorta itself), which is rarer than endo but they still want to do more scans to make sure it hasn't spread to my valve or anything. 100
