Note: Only 18,561 people applied for asylum in 2024. That’s 0.003% of the population. Which means 99.997% of the population are not asylum seekers. Remember this is a “record high”.

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...

Awful news… Only started listening to (and loving!) 2XM’s Click Clack several months ago, and was sooo impressed by its wonderfully curated playlists and news on local gigs (went to BIG BRAVE at Whelan’s after hearing them on the show).

Legacy media continues to collapse. Support independent doers!
Sad to say, it eked out it's notice as long as possible but RTE have decided @rte2xm is finally to shut up shop. Last day will be Dec 31. Will get in as many Click Clacks as possible before then, do tune in, and gimme a show elsewhere!

Sorry to hear this - people put a load of work into their shows on RTE's digital stations! I hosted a show, Sweet Oblivion, on 2XM from 2009 till around 2011 (?). (When I started it was unpaid work if I remember correctly!)
So, it's been officially announced: after 19 years on the online airwaves, RTÉ is to close four of its five digital radio stations, including 2XM, on New Year's Eve.

Thread follows...

Eloquently put, especially the end point. Support local things, because bit by bit it's all getting taken away.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

The far right will eventually kill someone or lots of someones if our pathetic government does not act now to stop them … first step would be for politicians, including Government ministers, to stop repeating far right racist rhetoric #speirgorm
