My 4th year students present projects on decarbonisation of transport at 10am. They have lived experience in how far we have to come: I got a 7:20am email from a student whose 6:53am bus didn't arrive, meaning they won't make it for 10am. Happy World Sustainable Transport Day.

When I was a submissions editor, I really enjoyed the feeling of sending up work from new writers. I think most editors do. Today, I learned that someone has their first pro sale because I told them about a call for submissions.
This is what it’s all about.

I’m reading @bogiperson.bsky.social’s delightful sci fi novel Song of Spores and it feels like reading sci fi used to feel when I was less jaded. Not sure what that says about me or the book, tbh, but I’m having a good time.

Thanks to Heritage Council funding, digital versions of these parish registers will soon be online. And the precious records of St Luke's Douglas can move from a damp old building to a temperature-controlled archive. #Speirgorm #Ireland 🗃️

The LUAS Red Line was thrown into chaos at rush hour this evening due to an incident at St James's. In order to find out what was going on with the service, the LUAS expected thousands of affected passengers to check their X account. It's ridiculous, enraging, and at this stage totally unacceptable
I posted on X for the first time In ages. Immediately deleted the post. Holy Christ. It’s bad bad. Like sticking your head in a wasps nest

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Digging into the archives, I discovered my grandfather was the first generation not to speak Irish as his mother tongue, and that he grew up with a famine survivor - his grandmother.

The best Irish stories are often about death. My grandfather stole his own funeral
The history of Ireland – the hunger, the loss of the language – was so much closer than I knew. The change had been so fast from my grandfather’s life to mine

Great stuff in this thread.
a few years back, I went through an archive of Ron Moore's AOL chats with STAR TREK fans and put together a document that had anything that resonated with me as a TV writer, as someone dealing with fandom, as a member of fandom, etc. It was a good way to see how little had changed in almost 30 years

This is why I weary of "This isn't what Star Trek IS" arguments because they frequently are the product of a narrow and unimaginative mind.
Plus, I was around the first time when it was targeting stuff I loved so I don't see much value in expending energy against something in that way.

For those of you who missed our meeting on Monday, @elainemcgoff.bsky.social contributes to this segment which outlines the key points of discussion we had on the night. Pat O'Toole from the Farmers Journal even mentions our meeting near the end. A great summary of the key issues and tensions.
Over the 19 years Ireland has had a derogation from the nitrates directive we have backed ourselves in to a corner. Which now leaves us having productive and economically viable farms or cleaner rivers and lakes, but not both.

Margaretta fit more than a few lifetimes of living and activism into those years. Fearless and uncompromising in the pursuit of peace, justice and equality, she challenged everyone who met her to think outside themselves and act to make this world a better place.
