We're revoking Ed Sheeran's Irish passport right? Cop on you gobshite, the stadia owners were bluffing, and if they weren't, you'd have got a dozen other stadia within a day for having the cojones to stand up to Zionist pressure.

Does the Criminal Asset Bureau not know that the golf course in Clare is owned by a 34 time convicted non-national felon? It was in all the papers. Surely, to have the CAB seize the assets of that criminal would show the world that Ireland is no haven for criminals, paedophiles and rapists?

Dracula by Bram Stoker. It's read in part by Tim Curry and I wasn't planning on reading it just yet but I had to, following his passing. The whole cast are excellent but he was the headline act for me. Just finished Daggerbound by @tkingfisher.com which I think is going to be a comfort reread.

Yes to all, but currently I need audiobooks because physical demands of holding a book is Too Much 😭 I miss my paperbacks. If I really love a book I'll get it in all the formats.

Yes. There's so many types of nonfiction. The Tigress of Forlì by Elizabeth Lev a biography of Caterina Sforza who was one of the most incredible women in the Renaissance. Oxford Classical Dictionary is timeless. The Secrets of the Titanic by Paul-Henri Nargeolet broke my heart several times over.

My Nana gifted me a beautiful hardback book of nursery rhymes and stories and I remember my parents, Nana, aunties and uncles all read it to me and I think it was one of the first books I ever read.

@livingwithulcerativecolitis

Chronic illness isn't just some tablets to swallow and few days off work.

It's lost friends, broken relationships, sacrificing of hobbies, forgotten passions, all the while feeling like you have no value or purpose in life.

Please consider this before you cast judgement.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay
No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

There’s this quiet performance chronically ill people do where we say ‘I’m fine’ while absolutely not being fine. We shrink the pain, soften the truth, crack a joke so no one feels uncomfortable. It’s not denial. It’s just easier to carry our symptoms than to carry someone else’s awkwardness about them. MyBodyIsTryingToKillMe.com

One of my favourite facts is that the spiky tail of a stegosaurus didn't used to have a specific name, until Gary Larson published this Far Side cartoon, at which point "thagomizer" was adopted by paleontologists.

The mind numbing anger of chronic fatigue is getting irritable because you're so fucking tired but you really feel like you SHOULDNT BE.

 You SHOULD be able to sit at a desk and do work. You SHOULD be able to just watch a freaking YouTube video. You SHOULD  be able to just eat fucking lunch.

But you can't. Because your eyes are closing and it's like temporary death is taking you.
