Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy but isn't a selfie. #speirbhean

Moving the responses into left field. 😂😭

A child reading by the hall light at night collapsed in her bed with grief at the Stone Table scene. But ... I don't think Aslan is fictional ... (also don't think the Lion is Christ, rejected that idea even as a kid) ... FOR NARNIA AND THE LION!

Hurrah Serbia and Brazil. All is not lost. Meanwhile #Meta has been accused of electoral interference in the Brazil election with social media and AI bias. Tech billionaires are polluting our democracies.

OMG 😍 Just checked, this is real not AI fake. (The world we live in.) A real-life activity called "parahawking".

Last night's Hunter's Moon, traditional name for the full moon in October. I so loved the phrase I wrote a story around it, beginning the book with its title. Cover of American edition (Abrams).

Good morning Bluesky, folk. Beautiful scroll art. 😍

#WheretheMaskEnds There's so much wrong with this series starting with the dreadful & unbelievable storyline & ML left to do nothing but look gobsmacked & pretty. The production is is pure rubbish. I'm hatewatching. Both leads of the stunning #PursuitofJade took on terrible projects after it.

It was #Dussehra few days ago, the feastday celebrating Lord Ram's victory over the multi-headed demon Ravanna. For all those who are, like me, fighting their inner demons: Jai Shri Ram! Lord Ram abú! May you slay your demons. (Sent by pal in Delhi.)

Just unfollowed a load of people who didn't bother their arse to follow me back. I'm petty that way. 😛

Someone I follow is back in my soul's home - Indiahhhhhh! ❤️(Ireland is my heart's home. Canada is the home of my voice.)

A little Hallowe'en laugh. 😂

An ancient pagoda is proof of the Lindy Effect. The longer it has lasted, the longer it will survive. Still standing long after everything new has fallen.

Board of Peace - Season 1

Royal Guard of Joseon Korea outside the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul. You can see tourists in rented hanboks. I was wearing one too. (Palace visits are free for those in hanbok but they truly are glorious to wear.) I was in Kdrama heaven with thousands of fellow Kdrama lovers.

Have a lovely day, Bluesky folk. I've two kinds of painting to do - kitchen inner doors & Japanese bedroom cherry blossoms. A woman's work is never done, as my Irish grandmother often said.

Time to boycott Faber & Faber. Genocide is ok. Objecting to genocide is not ok. #FreePalestine #Faber&Faber #PalestineAction

Lol for the day. (I seem to have a thing about the abyss these days. 😳)

I am going on #strike tomorrow. In higher ed, state funding per student is about 30% lower than in 2008. The Government’s own acknowledged funding gap of roughly €300m a year is still unfilled; this means bigger classes and heavier workloads- e.g., I have 520 students in my first-year module.

Flu shot tomorrow. Needed to check nurse is not on strike as I won't cross a picket line. But GP clinics not affected. Massive public strike to hit Ireland tomorrow. #Unions are working people's only protection against the growing rapacious nature of late-stage capitalism & billionaires.

Oh I love this. 😍

This is just ... this is a dream space ... 😍

For neko lovers everywhere. 🐱

ZeDump and Satanyaho will have multiple meltdowns over this no doubt www.aa.com.tr/en/culture/s...

Age yourself with a childhood crush.

Hope you're having a good day, folks. I am. My roof is fixed i.e. waterproofed. A BIG thing in Ireland. Meanwhile, I love the images this gentleman posts. 😍
