Thread: My favourite early Irish poem (7thC AD, translated by Seamus Heaney)

‘A wall of forest looms above
and sweetly the blackbird sings;
all the birds make melody
over me and my books and things’

Thread: This drawing was inspired by my 4y old niece & her favourite Halloween costume. She’s a bit of a character & very direct. I was capturing a child’s love of the wonder of things & how they treat the exceptional with complete acceptance. It’s about the magic of life! Image

Thread: Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, has the best record of supporting Irish LGBTQI people, politically, this century. This is an important interview. Hopefully he will move on Trans health & outlaw hate speech/crime which are much needed. He stands up to TERFs. .@MichealMartinTD
Two years ago a British TERF (transphobic or ‘Gender Critter’) group tried to smear a LGBTQI charity. Taoiseach Martin made a very public display of support for the charity .@Belong_To & launched a fund-raising stamp for them.
Here is the Taoiseach standing up for .@Belong_To

Thread: In 1893 a trial caught the imagination of the British & Irish people. It was about a two thousand year old hoard of gold found at Broighter, near Limavady in Ireland*. At stake was one of the most important treasures ever found in these islands! (Broighter boat) Image
A man was ploughing at Broighter & to his amazement dug up a stunning gold collar, a bowl, a necklace called a torc & other necklaces & items of gold. Back then only a handful of people would have been able to recognise what he had discovered. *present day N Ireland (hoard) Image
