The world is too distressing, and I am powerless to fix it (no, don't explain how I am not. My adopted country just voted Against a ceasefire in Gaza, while supplying the $ and munitions and nothing you say will change my powerlessness).

So. I made a new folder in lists, and I put every Irish account I could find in there, and I am just going to hide it there until armageddon, after which none of this will matter anymore.

If a smoochy, 1940's-style song about a New Year's one night stand sounds like your bag, get your pre-order in so you have something to dance to!
You will get an older song of mine, Persevere (Another Year) right now, and Not a Love Song on December 30th.
We are having a lot of fun with this one!

The pine marten is Ireland's rarest (and one of our prettiest) native mammals, and was almost lost to extinction through hunting for fur, poisoning, and destruction of their forest habitat.

For Patrick

He was not lost! He knew the way
and had the answers to each day.
He found the meaning of his voice.
He was not lost. He had no choice.

He was not lost! He was undone,
this child of music, Ireland's son.
With shredded dreams he fell to ground.
He was not lost, but can't be found.

He was not lost! He was a guide,
with much to say, but more to hide.
He closed his eyes, returned to womb.
He was not lost. He's in his room.

13) Looking at the landscape of #SocialProblems in #Ireland, lack of affordable housing may be one of the triggering items for the #DublinRiots.

Let me be clear, not everyone struggling with the #IrishHousingCrisis riots, but it is likely one of the fault lines used by #FarRight agitators to trigger violence especially when tied to #migration pressures

The #IrishTimes has an excellent article ⬇️ on those whose housing circumstances are challenging

12) There is no unitary explanation for last week’s #DublinRiots. Those who participated in violence had a reasons peculiar to their own experience. Much as we may wish for singular explanations, solutions to the street rage will likely be manifold, if there is enough courage to look at the event without bias and simplistic prejudice.

Let’s stipulate that the rioters did not participate motivated out of satisfaction with their current life situation.
