🧵 As we look towards the #LateLateToyShow next week, it's time to remember that everyone - including the State - will expect us all to donate generously to the very worthy causes supported financially by the Toy Show Appeal. Let's think about this.

It’s difficult to underestimate the extra burden that this is placing on our public libraries. For example, on a daily basis library workers are now filling the in-person/human service gap that billion euro banking institutions have abdicated from to maximise their profit margins.

How often can you say that you've seen a kantharos-rhyton? This cup has a bridled donkey head attachment, usually seen only on rhyta. It mirrors the donkey seen on the reverse of the cup, ridden by Dionysos. When you drank from this vessel, you looked like an ass! 🏺 1/

Churning them out here..
This is a (first?) poll of BlueSky users from a representative sample. (Voting intentions of those that reported that they used BlueSky in the preceding 24 hours).
Quite similar to what Twitter used to look like.

A few FG candidates on to me since last night with real concern about Kanturk moment.
They feel it looks very bad for them and they expect it to be something they have to deal with for days to come.
Disability issues and school access have repeatedly come up and have underfeatured in media
