Not doing Black Friday because I'm against the creeping Americanisation of Irish life and can't afford to as a small artist, but WILL be doing Vengeful Hag Friday where for every piece of art you purchase from www.ciaraioch.com/artprints I will fervently wish bad cess to your enemies

A little over six years since I began writing it, and probably about nine years since I started thinking about it, The Wolf and His King is out in the UK and Ireland today!

"To the medical community, we urge all our colleagues to resist the move toward authoritarianism over our work"

I'm reminded of this statement, from the AMA Code of Medical Ethics 2002-03: "In exceptional circumstances of unjust laws, ethical responsibilities should supersede legal obligations."
Civic Obligations in Medicine: Does "Professional" Civil Disobedience Tear, or Repair, the Basic Fabric of Society?
Professional civil disobedience can have benefits and risks to both medical professionals and patients.

@teni.bsky.social don't seem to use their bsky account so I'm posting this over here from their facebook because people should see it: one of the first things our new President Connolly did last week was write the community a letter for TDOR 🏳️‍⚧️

Digging into the archives, I discovered my grandfather was the first generation not to speak Irish as his mother tongue, and that he grew up with a famine survivor - his grandmother.
History was so much closer than I thought. My essay this weekend: www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...
The best Irish stories are often about death. My grandfather stole his own funeral
The history of Ireland – the hunger, the loss of the language – was so much closer than I knew. The change had been so fast from my grandfather’s life to mine

If you’re a parent who’s interested in speaking more Irish at home, for your own benefit as well as your children’s, I can’t recommend a better starting point than reading a book a night with kids.

(ba cheart léamh le do pháistí ar aon nós!)
Writer Eithne Shortall: ‘We put Irish at the heart of family life, one bedtime story at a time’
Three years ago we decided to start speaking Irish to our young children – a steep learning curve for all involved – with leabhair Ghaeilge as a key feature
