My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes. GRMA! www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

This is a really nice piece in Hot Press about how we're differently to other businesses and why. It'd be great if you could read and share. My perhaps naive hope is that a big business might see it and copy us. It works. #speirgorm www.hotpress.com/lifestyle-sp...

Congratulations to Elaine Feeney, winner of Author of the Year at last night's Irish Book Awards. This is an outtake from a portrait I made of her as part of an ongoing series for Literature Ireland, inspired by her work on University of Galway's Oral History report into the Tuam Mother & Baby home.

I came across some out-takes from an editorial feature I shot in Boston a couple of years ago - it was never used because the magazine went out of business.

It's becoming clear that I'm never going to be a wealthy gadabout. I know I could try gadding about on a budget but come on, what's the point.

type for books used to be set using little metal letters built into words in racks and then inked and pressed on to paper. If you had stock phrases you wanted to reuse a lot you could make a cast of them called a ‘stereotype’. The sound of them *clicking* into place, in French, is ‘cliché’
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share
