A young woman in graduation attire - black cap and gown with red and green trim - smiles while holding a framed photograph. The framed image shows her as a schoolchild with a group including Michelle and Barack Obama. The setting is bright with natural light and a blurred urban background.

Onyedika Ukachukwu was in primary school when she was chosen to meet Barack and Michelle Obama during their 2011 visit to Ireland. During that meeting, Michelle Obama told Onyedika to do something big with her life.

Last week, Onyedika became a doctor.

Congratulations Dr Ukachukwu!

Enjoy!!

Have you watched Ted Lasso on Apple? It’s a total joy!

My takeaways from #GE24 so far:

0. PR-STV is amazing.
1. No far-right surge. Not even a hint of one.
2. Low turnout. A clear problem for the future.
3. Prof. Michael Gallagher remains undefeated.

Tell you what

Blueskies is working very well this #ge24

So far, yes, this feels very good indeed. I'm remembering lots of early days conversations on the other place and the fab sense of community. If BlueSky achieves that, and finds a way of quickly dispatching trolls, I'll be chuffed! Oh and no dropshipping ads, please and thank you.
