Friday 6th June 1.15pm The Rookery SECRET MIRACLE WORKERS: Biologist and mycologist @merlinsheldrake.bsky.social author of 'Entangled Lives' talks to @manchanmagan.bsky.social about how fungi and their underground networks transform our understanding of how all life works

On 11 June I'm giving a talk at The Fumbally Café in Dublin 8 to mark the launch of my new book, Ireland in Iceland: Gaelic Remnants in a Nordic Land.
I'll be selling and signing this book, as well as all my previous ones.

Tragic to read about bullying by @DCCIreland. They were such a visionary, pioneering organisation, yet my dealings with them in recent years highlight their ineptitude. So different from the artist-focused @artscouncilireland.bsky.social

What is most exciting me these days is woundedness. Our human frailty. I was deeply moved by Casa Freda @museofridakahlo.bsky.social It's from our brokenness that our strength arises. This has been the best year of my life.

Absolutely loving this book from @manchanmagan.bsky.social #booksky

Ah,it's so lovely to see one of those Gaeilge Tamahotchi pieces. Beautifully made.

For my first ever BlueSky post, I want to announce my first ever board book. It's called Irish Words For Nature
I wish all my books were wipe-able.
