Also, and this is the thing that AI bros will never understand, I am energized by writing. I do not need the writing to be faster, because the writing is the point.

“I came from Sliabh Buidhe, where a crow never flew over the head of an informer.” There must be a name for that figure of speech. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/an-i...
I am really loving reading A Gentleman in Moscow in the middle of the buzz of a busy hotel lobby.
We have a winner …
I didn’t ‘watch’ any of my 13 yo’s favourite movies but the soundtracks are burned on my brain.
I’ve learned a lot on this subject from your posts and from Daniel Brown’s book Facing the Mountain, including Gordon Hirabayashi’s inspiring civil resistance. Wishing all friends in the US well.
Massive away win for the little fella.
Oh my — I finally got to watch Inside Out 2 and I’m going to need a moment
Grafton Street on a beautiful crisp November night. It’s taken me a long time to embrace winter, and Tuesdays.
Basically this and it goes to mid calf. Formerly known as my rapper’s coat, now officially known as my Old Woman of the Roads rapper’s coat. (Okay okay some people in the fam call it my Stupid Deaths Grim Reaper coat). BUT I am toasty warm waiting for a 14 on South Great George’s Street so there!
OK folks, here we go - a starter pack of Irish writers and illustrators I've spotted I my one day on this platform. Did I miss you? Want out? I'm sorry! Shout here and I'll sort it. AND I'll also do a second one for more book community folk who are not writers or illustrators.

That’s the holy grail right there, the keys to the kingdom
Had a handful of homophobic/transphobic messages here today because I’ve created a Starter Pack supporting LGBTQIA+ writers.
Please follow and share this pack to help keep Bluesky the positive place it promises to be.

This explains my lovely enormous duvet coat that my family laugh at me for wearing
Yes. None of us are safe until we are all safe.
Fat tabby cat on his back on a sofa. His paws are outstretched, so he looks like he is doing a sit up...
Cat has decided to work on his abs.
Reckon he's going to need a montage...

The deep deep calm of finding the perfect Christmas present for my impossible-to-buy-for husband. Even O. Henry would be proud of me this year.
We love the Jacquie Lawson advent calendar app, and I’ve just seen that this year’s theme is Paris!
Just saw a post saying most published authors stop publishing after 3 books, and while that *can* be used as a "wow, those of us who make it past that are so resilient!"
I think it *should* be used to acknowledge that most *already published* authors get chased out of publishing.
Check out Montolieu in the south of France — the village of the books.
Ha! Yes, same. Then drinks the cold, cold half cup of tea.
This is cute but what was not cute was having to avert my gaze from multiple vulgar cartoons on the 'Discover' page while figuring out how to log in. I thought @bsky.app was going to be better that that ...
Oh that’s just lovely seeing so many familiar names and faces in the Edibuddies starter — thank you @tanyagold.bsky.social for setting that up and hello everybody 🤩
Jeepers well done! (Sheepishly picking up the barbell on my desk and giving it a few lifts) 😂
I would normally be on an audiobook but because I have too many reads on the go right now I thought I’d try something different. Little did I know! (And yes I’m off to check out the audiobooks on Spotify!)
There’s cleaning your kitchen and then there’s cleaning your kitchen riveted to a podcast. Squeaky! World of Secrets season 2 on the BBC.
Proof that there’s always a new twist on an old story: a kids’ drama improv today where Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, broke into bits and out emerged … a chick.
Well I just got to use 'Lothario' in an editing comment, so it's probably time to clock off for the night.
I am really sorry this happened - how horrible for everyone.
