When I occasionally lecture Irish college students, it's often on the topic of social media and censorship. One of the things I try to impress upon them is that up until the 1990s, Ireland had the most draconian state censorship regime in the Western World, & Playboy was only unbanned here in 1994.
the Irish censorship regime was insane until, what, the late 1980s or so?

This morning I was awoken by a LIVE BLACKBIRD in my bedroom, followed by the cat ricocheting after it, and by Himself yelling at the cat.

My sense is that people are reclaiming something that was taken by abusive institutions and developing a new, more differentiated, relationship with it driven by their own values rather than imposed values.

I don't know if belief in god is on the up but I absolutely see an uptick in people wanted to join in a little tradition or mark the passage of time with these festivals or get involved in something for the sake of the experience you know what I mean

A little Dublin #painting from a few years ago. "Trinity College & College Green" was done one cold morning when I cycled into town and sat down on a traffic island where I sketched the city centre cluster-fest in front of me. Surprisingly nobody came up to me when painting. #art #urbansketching

Always striking to me how reactionaries treat "culture" as immutable, something totally static. They think it's like an inheritance, something with set bounds passed down from parent to child and never changing - Instead of the ongoing collective experience of people in a place and time

I mean, we know this, but I’m gonna say it anyway. A marriage that both people actively and continually choose to be in is worth a hell of a lot more than a marriage that they merely can’t leave.
