Writer who puts sentences in front of other sentences. Hopefully, in an order that makes someone want to read them.

@briankeene.bsky.social as a guy from the North of Ireland, I approve this comparison. 🤜🤛

"Americanized version of Ireland’s troubles — a slow-running hybrid civil war, fought not just with guns and bombs, but with selfie sticks and streaming, with no clear endgame in sight."

I just read this story and it's fucked up in all the right ways. You're going to enjoy it.

And I just found out about the choice paralysis I suffer from when I open Spotify.
I just discovered a new media system for people who get choice-paralysis with music. I’ve been listening to internet radio for a couple days. It just chooses for you. O.o

Look, for real, if you have a problem with trans folks, you can unfollow or block me right now.

(And if you think this is virtue signalling, you can go too, although I'm immune to all that ad hominem shit)

These are our brothers and sisters, for fuck's sake.

A great anthology, and my story, Race The Night, is in excellent company. But don't take my word for it.

Does that mean you don't have to pay taxes at all? Like if "Witch" was your choice of occupation on account of being wiccan.
Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

I wish we could get Ireland talking about this more, farmers especially. The consequences of the AMOC collapsing are nightmare fuel for farmers.
Greenland losing 30m tonnes of ice an hour,
20% more than previously thought
This is weakening critical ocean current AMOC which is at its weakest in 1,600 years
A weakening and inevitable collapse of AMOC will hugely impact climate in Europe and beyond
