I think it's safe to assume that if you're British and in any way high profile that you're transphobic unless proven otherwise. I am totally unsurprised that Omar Djalili is transphobic. Bit wild that he shared a doc by a self confessed fascist to reveal it all the same. #trans #transphobia #MastoDaoine

A compelling read: 

Elysian is intoxicating. The words wrap around you conjuring the streets and buildings of Cork. There are many themes, loss, friendship , society and our relationship with work. Ultimately it made me wonder, what am | doing with my life?

Ah here, I was this years old when I heard that Charles Stewart Parnell probably didn’t pronounce his own surname in the way it’s widely applied to Dublin landmarks and roads (par-NELL) but in the same way one might expect to hear in Ireland, with less emphasis on the second syllable (PARN’nell).

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?

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?

@ Flipboard Culture Desk @CultureDesk@flipboard.social The BBC polled 177 book experts from 56 countries to find the top 100 books for kids. The list reflects the scope of children's literature through the eras. It includes the Panchatantra, a collection of Indian stories dating back thousands of years and "A Kind of Spark,” which was published in 2020 and tells the tale of a neurodivergent girl who campaigns for a memorial to "witches."

"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

Sketchbook open in landscape format. In inks and watercolours looking towards corner of O'Connell Bridge, and Eden Quay and the corner of O'Connell St and Bachelor's Walk. Single arch of bridge visible before crop at left edge. Flat top of bridge has pale stone balustrade. Trees on quays (2 on each) are in full bright green foliage, rendered in multiple greens with dots of yellow. They have trunks of dark browns, purples, and blues that contort into dark branches that get lost as they twist into the foliage, and the trees reach the height of the buildings, which are 5 storeys, and the nearest tree on the right extends onto the top page. Buildings in view between trees are narrow. They are dark at street level with retail windows, doors and fascias, and bold of colour in upper storeys, being white, red, and orange with dark narrow windows. Chimneys and a curved decorative top of a building extend into sky which is left blank white. Stone of bridge and wall is in yellows with white gel and black ink details , river is dark blue, boardwalk on right inside river wall has angled railings in ink lines. Handwritten text at top:

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.

Illustration by T. H. Thomas (1880)

#Folklore #FolkloreThursday #Fairy #sìthiche #mastodaoine #THThomas

A black-and-white drawing of a fairy ring filled with fae dancers, in a field surrounded by trees. A white man has been taken by their spell and is walking towards the ring to join them while his friend (also a white man) desperately tries to pull him back, away from the danger.
