A ten year old Polish girl, born in Dublin, gave me this, as a birthday present. Some years ago, she asked me to be her Grandad, as she did not have one. I was honoured to do so.

The synchronous breathing element, however, is non-negotiable. It’s a really good bridge between mind & body. If you’re not breathing, you’re not doing #yoga, De Belgeonne explains. You’re just throwing shapes. You might as well join a #circus class. https://t.co/OejyG8E5af

Invaders at the Valley House The indigestible fact of life for the sheep, under their noses all is frozen. No matter, habit outweighs the weather and the daily feast begins. #Achill #Mayo #MaighEo #Mayo

Real intimacy is a sacred experience. It never exposes its secret trust & belonging to the voyeuristic eye of a neon culture. Real intimacy is of the soul, and the soul is reserved. John O'Donohue #Achill skies

So I’ve managed 10 whole years of daily sketches in my weather journal. Pretty much every day a quick sketch of the weather. (I have missed only a handful and filled them in later) I am actually pretty pleased. It’s been a solid bit of work and it’s not stopping yet!

@tomdoorley Zelensky knows he has to box clever here. The last reception he got in the White House was unbelievably disgraceful. I'd say he'd marry Trump to get him and Putin, their whole shit game exposed.

Poor President Zelensky, having to listen to the fart-made-flesh read Putin’s script in awe and reverence of the Russian mass murderer…

Many derelicts on #Achill, hard for locals to rent never mind blow-ins like me. Lots of @Airbnb & holiday homes, much needed income for islanders. I've researched a lot of derelicts only to be told, no will was made, family can't agree & so it goes #DerelictIreland @MayoCoCo

First light Day by day, what you choose...is who you become Heraclitus #Achill #Acaill #MaighEo #Mayo

This place, ever changing skies, radiant light, bog lush with heather. Mysterious layers, compressing time unmanaged by the daily clock. #Achill #NewYear2026

Last light, clapsholas, casadh na taoide, tide on the turn. #Acaill #MaighEo #Achill #Mayo

Same goes for every international organisation that has been blocked, from MSF to Worldvision & Warchild. It is of course also the reason that Israel has murdered 300+ Palestinian journalists. The thing that scares them most is the truth.

Good #morning #Dublin ya big ride 😘

Stilled are the winds, Scarce heard far ocean’s roar; And maiden waves creep Coyly to the shore, Tinged with the purest Blush of closing even, Behold yon hills that catch The glow of heaven💚 ~Irish poet Aubrey Thomas de Vere (1814-1902) 📍Co Donegal, Ireland 🇮🇪 📸 Seamus Beag

I don't know why this hasn't received more publicity, but this fifty-foot sculpture was unveiled recently in South Dakota. It's called 'Dignity' and was done by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the women of the Sioux Nation.

@LouisPisano I'm no defender of right wing reactionaries, but TBF and even handed you could mention the good work she did on behalf of animal rescue and animal rights.
