The operation on my #hurly was a great success. Helped me score 7 points today. If you want to see the before photos, see my post below.
The word at 2:02 - what is it? Breifne mountains? Can't find anything like that in Tipp and would have thought if anywhere they'd be in Cavan.

Happy Car-Free College Green Day, to all who celebrate.
I've been in Limerick city for one week and heard Alice Deejay's Better Off Alone twice.
The question I have for everyone on this glorious Sunday evening: do you think you're better off alone?

Hi!
A few weeks back, I floated the idea of a tech coop. Beginning with tiny steps.
The focus is on a collective organisation. Driven by service to the needs of our local communities, and Irish society at large.
Starting off with the basics, we're getting a name, website/blog, and decision making mechanism (Loomio) down.
If you enjoy hacking on things in this area — in the broadest sense — please reach out. There are a few of us :)

Hey, wondering if anyone knows anyone based around Dublin that collects oral histories. Know a guy who was a firefighter (chief?) during the customs house fire, amongst other events. Dude's got some great stories, often told he should write a book, which, he hasn't yet. So I'm wondering if there's another way to capture this info while he's still around?
Found the one black lamb on the Curragh on my walk today. #sheep #lamb #kildare #Ireland #mastodaoine
Found in #Grangegorman in #Dublin7 - if there's a little human who's missing this soft toy, give me a shout.

I see Rory Best is doing or has just completed a 330 km walk for charity.
Has his popularity ever recovered from appearing as a character witness for WhatsApp Paddy, the acquitted rapist?

5 years ago I made this video for the Drogheda launch of together for yes campaign for abortion in Ireland. I think this also ended up being the last professional video I ever made.

Last model: The Dublin Dome, locals call it the “Trouble Bubble,” or just the “Dubble.” Proposed in 2025 in the direct aftermath of the Nine Minute War, it took three decades to complete due to attacks from the NatCon Bloc, as well as frequent sieges by desperate Radiotants fleeing the western Burntscape. #TheEnd #SciFi #Mastodaoine *Seriously, it’s a model of Dublin Castle’s environs. This is where my mind goes. Go visit the Irish Architectural Archive on Merrion Square. It’s great.

Brain check here, but surely my doctor is in the wrong when they tell me they can't send me my blood test results because of #GDPR? That sounds about as mental as I can even imagine. #mastodaoine
I had a look at the list and I have read in my lifetime 80% of these titles. What are the chances that a 59-year-old white woman in Ireland has read 80% of the 100 greatest children's books of all-time? This musty be a Eurocentric bias right?

So a man filled up with toxic anti-trans culture war nonsense got blind drunk, had a psychotic break and beat an elderly cis woman up so badly she had to be put into care. Gender criticals and media hacks spout constant transphobia which results in thugs feeling they can attack and nearly kill people #trans #MastoDaoine

"Kingstown Bay" A #painting for you today came out of a time I was #cycling in the west of #Ireland and was arrested by this scene. By myself, with a mostly inanimate bicycle, I just stood there looking, wanting to tell someone, anyone, to share it, and probably fall in love. But there wasn’t even any traffic. Eventually three horses walked into view and we talked. While I’m keeping that moment for myself I'm sharing with you the painting of the view. #Art #MastoArt #MastoDaoine #Artist
Would anyone know how to load historical energy grid consumption (every 30 mins, in csv) into #homeassistant ? I’m looking to build my own custom component to do this with data from ESB Networks #ireland #mastodaoine
So it was all bullshit. Quelle suprise! #trans #MastoDaoine
My friend reacted to this with “do all plants only grow on walls in Ireland?”.

"Westport Clock II" Today's first #painting for you to enjoy is a County Mayo one, and not the first time I've painted this junction. It's also another in my mesh tape series of paintings - which I did for the texture as well as my love of squares. I haven't yet made this available as a print.

Exploring what it takes to start a workers-owned coop in Ireland. Similarly to other countries where tech coops exist (thinking of Igalia), it seems that a limited liability company is the correct entity to register for our industry.
I have a lot to research, but if any tech workers based in Ireland want to explore the idea of a tech coop with me — I'd love to connect with you. See what our strengths are, what purposes we can serve, etc.
"O'Connell Bridge, Dublin" Your early-ish #painting today is of a magnificent day a couple of years ago when it was my first time in 15 months to get to go into town and eat, and drink and be with another human being. Before I met her I sat on a bridge and did this sketch. #Art #Ireland #MastoDaoine #MastoArt #Artist #Watercolour #UrbanSketching
"Bull Alley" Your evening #painting today comes from a warm day when I was #cycling in southwest #Dublin and after a couple of sketches I cycled into the city centre and sat in St Patrick's Park so I could enjoy the cathedral beside it and the flowers and even the people. After buying tea I got my perfect bench so I could paint the Iveagh Trust buildings opposite, a scene I'd wanted to paint for many years. #Art #Ireland #MastoDaoine #MastoArt #Artist #Watercolour #UrbanSketching

A man saves his friend from the grip of a fairy ring ~ Shàbhail duine a charaid bhon t-sìthean
Once trapped under the fairies' spell, time shifts as you dance. If you ever find your way out again, your friends and family will be aged, if they still live at all.

I refuse to acknowledge Australia's participation in this event.
Wait.
Except to say their staging involves a *car* and cars are trash, so therefore this is trash.
Her kickboxing technique needs work, like this song needs a bridge or more key-changes.
Another belter, so do Monika justice, #Lithuania !
If the Corrs performed with their parents, who made it really obvious that Andrea is their favourite child.
I don't understand it, but I don't hate it.
#SanMarino with an ad for never visiting San Marino.
I very strongly wanted to dislike #Slovenia but this is really quite catchy, and they seem to be a gas enough bunch of messers.
Oh god.

Oh no.

He may have good boxing technique, but can he perform?
Well, he's giving the worst lying-down-singing of the contest so far, and WHAT is that enunciation?
But I suppose I have to forgive him, since he's only a wee chungfla.
#Belgium now, having the best time on stage, with a number for the elder gays.
We thank you, Belgium.
Oh, I was nodding off nicely to #Armenia and then she goes and kicks off with all of that carry-on.
Oh dear, poor #Denmark has the vocal skills of me in the shower, the poor poppet.
