Norma Foley is a former teacher and she was completely inept as Minster for Education.

I think the main issue is the rather impressive lack of regard for humanity that FF/FG show.

Would you mind keeping that rain up there with ye? We've had a tough enough few days here in Cork and could do with some more sunshine.

We could do with something to clear the fog...the @hollandamericaline.bsky.social is looking like a ghost ship as it leaves the @portofcork.bsky.social.

It was all thanks to Jim's lens. He had it set up, all I had to do was align my phone to the eyepiece!

The judgemental posing is all falcon!

They've been very obliging any time Jim Wilson does a bird walk and will obligingly pose for a photo when Jim sets up the lens. I snapped this a few years ago by sticking my phone to the lens which was, apparently, a major faux pas because look at the judgemental face it gave me!

It's giving, "Dulce Est Decorum Est" vibes.

I grew up in Blarney when Blarney was the county and not the city (in the late 1900s, as the kids would say) & always knew it as the motto of Cork but maybe that's because of my city-born mom?

I'm living in Cobh now, which has yet to be annexed by the city, and the shelter of the cove starts here.

The nesting box is close to that. One of last year's young fella's kept coming back and being fed by Dad this year and that seems to have prevented Mom from laying but hopefully next year we'll get some more chicks!

"Statio Bene Fide Carinis" or, "Safe Harbour For Ships" is our motto because Cork Harbour is a sheltered cove. When big storms are coming, we get many ships coming in to drop anchor close to the Spitbank Lighthouse just off Cobh's west side.

Finally orcas have somewhere to park their bike! They've been calling for this for years. Now, who is working on the roller-stake arena for pelicans?

(Apologies, I'm sleep-deprived. Gorgeous work!)

The two interviewed here are distant strangers in comparison to the Perth twins!

I feel that if they were clearly segregated on the same sign as native vs invasive, it could open discussions on the importance of protecting native species and raise questions on what is being done to eradicate invasive flora & fauna.

Out of interest, what would your recommendation be for info signs on flora & fauna?

A split line separating native vs invasive? Or, is it more nuanced with f&f that are non-native but naturalised over centuries and not known as causing harm?

Seeing his little brother growing up with the same mannerisms and loving ways is bittersweet for all of us who knew André. Their parents are absolutely incredible in the way they raise their boys to love and be loved.

Great to hear you promoting the move from that other place to #BlueSky.

Using your voice to speak out against the manbabies leading your country right now and the atrocities they are supporting is something you will look back on and be proud of.

Keep raising your voice.

For what it's worth, I stumbled across Smosh for the first time last spring while discovering my own neurodivergent profile. Seeing yourself and the rest of Smosh be so accepting of each other is incredibly powerful and inspiring.

You are positively influencing more people than you will ever know.

I've no idea who she is, just came across the photo. I've been known to make an occasional mistake once or twice in my life myself so I assume others are liable to make them too.

That photo isn't the kind of wall I'd lose sleep over.
