Japers, he’s tall. My great granddad was 7’ 2” [218.4cm]*. When he died, he didn’t fit a coffin, so they broke his legs to get him in. In a millennium he’ll be dug up & they’ll wonder why his legs were broken, as part of the burial. The assumption will be sun worship - it’s always sun worship!

A pre-Columbian ceramic sculpture of two seated male figures (200-900 AD), likely from Nayarit culture of West Mexico.
It is made of ceramic with paint and depicts two male figures joined together at the side, appearing to be in an animated conversation or interaction.

Now that the US has fallen to a fascist govt, there has been a ripple effect amongst celebrities, & that’s particularly visible regarding those who once proclaimed themselves LGBTQ allies.
Most went silent, but a few made their hypocrisy clear:

So you think you know Irish history? Try this entertaining test. The Journal is an excellent unbiased news app - I recommend it!
This year marks the 250th birthday of Irish revolutionary Daniel O'Connell.
The 250th anniversary of an event is called a semiquincentennial (say that five times fast), and there were others celebrated recently too.
Take the quiz and test your knowledge of them! jrnl.ie/6886030

A #painting for you from a while ago. "Tramore I" The last time I was in this corner of Waterford I was on a bicycle. I painted this because I love junctions, the possibilities they hold - which includes rendering me stuck at them unable to decide. Plus I like their shapes. #art #ArtYear #SpeirGhorm

Dublin City is looking at changing the name of a park. It’s called after Chaim Herzog, former president of Israel & an Irish-Israeli, given that the UN commission & the ICJ have called Gaza a genocide. I’d like to see the park named after an artist - either Harry Kernoff* or Estella Solomons*
Israeli president condemns motion to rename Dublin park
Israel's President Isaac Herzog has said he is concerned by the proposed removal of the name of former Israeli president and his father Chaim Herzog from a park in south Dublin.

It’s strange how one’s mood influences how you see the world. There is usually something bothering you, but it’s totemic for a deeper anxiety.
I’ve been feeling bullied & so read replies with that in mind. The anxiety is that my stalker will harass me again. What scares me about …

The sort of report a great paper publishes. It’s a great read about who the man with the gun in this photo, is. Experts now know his name & that he was a school teacher before WWII.

I used to work for this amazing institution as a research scholar. I felt so lucky to have access to one of the greatest libraries in Europe. Astonishing early medieval Irish manuscripts & various collections like political pamphlets. And a beautiful building!
Ireland’s @norfireland.bsky.social Festival (NORFest) 2025 took place on the 6-7 November, 2025 in the RIA. This two-day booked-out event had over 150 guests in attendance.

The English regional art galleries don’t get the respect they are due IMHO. John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893) is a popular artist in the North of England who created pleasant atmospheric city & landscapes. He also has an amazingly English name too! An enjoyable painter! Go visit:

Graham Linehan is now a convicted criminal. This is sure to impact his status as an Irish citizen travelling to the US. Under US visa rules those convicted of property damage & violence may not enter the USA. Those who have are being searched out by ICE.
Linehan has been fined £500 and has been ordered to pay costs of £650, in addition to a statutory surcharge of £200. Read 👉 buff.ly/DRhFouL #GCNnews

I don’t show my watercolours v often. They’re v personal to me. I love that the majority of the page is empty & that the water can make the page wrinkle*. The thing about real art is you should be able to see it was made by a human IMHO! So here’s a man looking inwards from 11y ago!

Where I live in Dublin, Ranelagh, is the main area outside the city centre for restaurants. They were all lit up, decorated for Christmas & just setting up for a busy evening tonight! Ironically I can’t eat out due to disability, but I can enjoy the aromas! A lovely spot!
