Out in Cork North Central with John Maher @jmaher0 putting up posters for Catherine Connolly. You can't see me because I'm taking the photos. On October 24, remember to vote, and remember to vote for CC#1. #Connolly4President

Always a pleasure to talk about Cicero, especially today: O Tempora! O Mores! I also talk about my promotion to professor as privilege, and a little bit about Gramsci (my next project). @uccphilosophy @UCC

This is a great article, in @IrishTimes, on @lea_ypi's extraordinary book 'Indignity' - which I'm re-reading, for the second time. Lea Ypi on Albania’s archives: ‘You might find something horrible on a person you’re extremely attached to’

What a joy to share the stage with the amazing Justine McCarthy (@IrishTimesOpEd) as part of the Festival of Italian and Irish Literature in Ireland, held in Dublin last weekend. It was one of those 'I-met-my-hero' moments, and she lived up to my absurdly high expectations.

This is devastating news. @Mary___Wilson and @lawlor_aine are the epitome of good journalism. Simply brilliant. We were lucky in Ireland to have them hold politicians to account for as long as they did. My best wishes to them for a bright future. @rtenews

"For black people in Ireland, it is exhausting... Where is this outrage when racist attacks on our streets continue to rise? Where are the headlines when black people cannot post online without a torrent of racist hate?" A beautifully written piece: https://t.co/oxO4nYpgsY

Social Democrats TD Eoin Hayes has apologised for what he did, and that matters — if we never allow anybody to apologise, where is the accountability?

Rainy and windy Sunday, ideal time to concentrate on the messy palaver of marmalade making.

Tens of thousands in London marching at the tune of racism and xenophobia. Dreadful stuff. I lived in the UK for 20 years. It breaks my heart to see those images. I'm grateful to be living in the Republic of Ireland now, to be part of the EU. 🇮🇪 🇪🇺
