I record Cork’s voices, some shared, some stumbled upon. All true, probably.

Came across this drawing in the 1978 Cork gay newsletter Sapphire. A tale as old as time.

Some sound heads scaled the Collins Aerospace building in Cork City and made the adequate adjustments to the sign. Complete with speaker blasting beats.

And they can earn money on top of that. Where job seekers are limited in that respect. Basic income for all is what i say. Whats the difference between how i earn my money (dependent on grants etc) and an artist?

James Furey @furryjams.bsky.social · 8d

Ah right.

James Furey @furryjams.bsky.social · 8d

I went through one too in the last 10 years. And gave me a leg up in what i currently do. The artist scheme is different in that you are at your leisure.

But apparently she is like Yeats. ( If Yeats just wrote the vapid verse of a 14 year old)

On damp days in ballyphehane the smell of sweeets hangs in the neighborhood from the ferrero factory up the road. So you are not wrong

Great craic in Dublin City hall last night for the launch of @itmadublin.bsky.social and Seán Potts biography of Tommie Potts(my grandfather). Just sitting down to read it now. I have always wanted to be a footnote

I think the caption is right. She only joined labour in the late 90s. And some of the clothes give off more early 2000s.

James Furey @furryjams.bsky.social · 15d

I think she's grand. Its a term that has been around over half a century. My kids know what it means

James Furey @furryjams.bsky.social · 17d

Cute

James Furey @furryjams.bsky.social · 18d

Absolutely wild language from him. And its not just blaming unemployed, its his veiled anti traveller retoric is disgusting from a TD

A lot of apparent "people of the left" are showing themselves to be anything but the last few days.

James Furey @furryjams.bsky.social · 23d

I wouldn't hold your breath. I doubt the lad has ever even done the MS Readathon
