Some of my work.
Two ceramic pieces shaped like a spinning top. Black with white stripes. They contain ceramic "seeds" that tinkle when moved.

TBH I'm not surprised. Something about him was off from way back.

Why don't people just pull their masks off?

💯 this. And it makes me dislike the FG option even less when I see big politics gang up and use their influence this way.

Been living in Spain for a while. Couldn't afford to move back, that's for sure.

Got an email from Amazon to be part of their invite only "Brands of Ireland" campaign which apparently aims to help businesses for Black Friday, Christmas etc. Sounds nice but Amazon is a killer of small businesses and they can fuck Black Friday. Buy independent and buy local when you can.

Can't citizens just stay home and leave the military alone on the streets? Wandering around looking for "wars". 🤷‍♀️

That's fantastic news! About 15 years too late for me, but great for new emerging artists to find their feet and refine their art.

Not at all. I'm as old as the hills and have zero sympathy for people like that who play dirty.

Mad SF speculation:

In 1918 young men came home from the trenches with a new sexual fetish: gas masks.

Spacesuits are still exotic, but in an SF setting with space travel, they're going to be as common as respirators (and better desined than ours).

What sexual fetishes do they lend themselves to?

Is there any news of Tadhg Hickey from the #globalsumudflotilla? I know the Zionists really don't like him as he's been so vocal about the genocide they are committing. #speirghorm

Jesus H Christ. What is wrong with Simon Harris and this pathetic government? Get the feck off your lazy asses and DEMAND the release of citizens of our country who have been KIDNAPPED by a genocidal "state". Fu(king useless shower of wasters.
