Let’s play a little game! 🎉
As you know, I’m doing a FREE call this Monday 15 September at 6:30pm Irish time to give you my best tips to identify dye plants in the wild and help you guess the shades they could make.
In advance of this, I thought it would be fun to do a little guessing game! 🧵

Since I did not raise objections to the genocide, I shall not teach courses on decolonisation, decoloniality, post-genocide literatures from Palestine or other cognate ‘radical’ courses that advance my career & help me procure grants.

One of the less known aspects about the Easter Rising is that Indian students at UCD also took part & were then deported by the British authorities for it. Among those students was V.V. Giri who became president of India and said “when I am not an Indian, I am an Irishman”

Why do you think I go through the trouble of organising a festival in a different jurisdiction?! (And it *is* trouble when you're trying to get funding) 🙄
Yesterday I visited @willowandlore.bsky.social, the lovely venue that will host the ✨Archipelago Festival of Colour✨ next 26-27 July. We sussed out the details of how we’ll set up the place for the weekend (and admired their new half acre of flax!). The excitement is building! 🎉
