Sorry second is GENIUS
Team Bride implies the existence of Team Anti-Bride, readying to march against her at dawn
Three hand-drawn pieces for the @dublinmaker.bsky.social event this weekend, celebrating traditional crafts and Irish makers, and the process of creating. They're also available as prints here: www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...

Also everyone who was in the random selection presumably got the points too, I don't know why there was a whole article about one person
Like someone letting fresh air into a room
Freak behaviour
We need more Storm Malices and Storm Vengeances imho
I've never been! They're mad for the aul' American stuff in Killarney. It always seems very busy!

I've earned that sleigh ride!
I feared as much
"A lot of- "A LOT of vegetable patches and alpacas"
You aul' talent, you
We're very excited to announce this— Off The Scéal is a brand new Multilingual Open-Mic night created and hosted by the amazing @danflynn94.bsky.social and myself 😍 Come on down to the DLR Lexicon Studio and join us for a night of poetry and song —
Increasingly finding that the main difference between me and my friends who have children is the quantity of posts about competitions to visit pumpkin farms/Santa's village shared on our respective Instagram stories
GRMA!
😡
Thanks so much!
Look, I mean, I certainly watched it. Enjoying it is another matter.
Happy birthday legend!
Thank you!
Thank you!
🙏🏻
Thank you!
Immediate regret about the idea about five minutes into starting

Love this! Looks great, thanks so much!
@ciaraioch.bsky.social I finally got the right frame and matte. Second pic is in context, on the wall of fantastical beasts. The main matte color doesn’t come through on the phone cam but matches the lighter background of the upper section
A less thrilling online life but perhaps getting a full 8 hours in lends itself towards a better quality of post overall
Honoured 💖
Night night Mairéad
Miss the busier After Hours nightposting of the other place compared to here, but I suppose it does encourage a healthier sleep schedule, and frees up more time for nocturnal bog haunting
🩵 Feel ya.
The blackberries in the bushes, the leaves falling, Graham in his scarves, the signs of autumn
Yeah our group was very divided, it isn't going to be an all-timer but I liked it and the commentary on dating in general was more interesting than the love story
I enjoyed Materialists, but I am a woman of simple tastes (Dakota Johnson in absolutely anything)
Thank you!
Good advice, thanks!
I'll check it out, thank you!
Do any of ye use one of those premade and ready to install sheds-as-offices (or studios)? Are they worth it? Benefits/downsides?
Great fun to work on!
More stories forthcoming but in the meantime, here's a new header for the shorts (sherdenpact.neocities.org/Shorts) showing the Logisticians At Work, typical scene in the Sanguinary Utnapishtim. Working hard or hardly working am I right!? (Ty to @ciaraioch.bsky.social for making this, she's great!)
Nighty night
Not if I smite them first! 🥷🏻
Definitely not a race! Everyone is on their own path and it won't lead to the same outcomes for everyone, either. Different people, different life milestones and not all of them involve marriage and kids etc.
Hope for men in their 30s now!
Very exciting to see this all come together- and very much looking forward to tomorrow!
Tale as old as time (look at all the royal weddings)
Celebrities, they're just like us!
I'm only a common or national billionaire superstar celebrity
Saw someone comment that Swift's engagement "gives hope to other single women in their thirties" and I feel like maybe the "being a billionaire international superstar celebrity" might be being somewhat overlooked as a factor in our shared experience
It's the mooost wonderful tiiiime of the yeeeear 🍁
Precautionary measure

Dublin make 'er apologise for all the terrible spells she has cast on Dublin over the years, more like.

Night night all
Wonder is it just AI
Once everyone is on the same page, that's all that matters! Like if I know someone will go to their partner with sensitive information shared privately, I just choose not to share with them, and we're all good.
*looks sadly at lump of coal*
The ol' boy who cried wolf uno-reverse
Omg, the number of times I've met a friend's husband, only to be greeted with "is this the one who castrates her conquests?" A, that was private, and B, I'm a rounded person, you can't define me by one quirk.
Please don't tell your partners things that your single friends have told you in confidence, especially if you're naming them! They shared that private information with you, not your partner, and now the men will know that we attack at dawn
"But you liked me yesterday"
Thank you!
Happy #InternationalDogDay from this hard worker having a well-earned rest. Prints: www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...
They did a lot of this in Cork city and it seems to work really well, it's a pity is isn't rolled out more widely
Yeah like there's no way individual artists can eat that kind of cost
True. It's mad how complicated it's all gotten so quickly.
I suspect what might be possible for a large international retailer mightn't be as easy for a sole artist trying to sell their own work. I'll look into it but I would be doubtful.
The new tariffs are going to hit artists particularly hard if it means losing customers in the US, so I'd ask Irish people to please consider buying local, from Irish makers, where at all possible. Support that means little to a huge business makes a massive difference to small creators. We need ye.
As businesses, this is debilitating enough, but what about families sending care packages to their kids, friends sending post to loved ones etc.
It's so frustrating Kathleen, for both sides of the Atlantic - we're getting off lightly by comparison, I know.
Such a pointless pain in the hole
ℹ️ Information from An Post relevant to Irish artists selling to the US - still no clarity elsewhere about what the charges will be, time will tell.

Israel double tap strike. It murders journalists then sends a drone in to kill the paramedics trying to retrieve their bodies. A war crime, broadcast live and sponsored by the US and Europe. 🚨Boycott EVERY news channel that doesn’t show this footage today🚨
Alright folks, I’m yet again looking for jobs! I draw cartoons and illustrations, most often for brands looking to succinctly explain what they’re all about. If that’s you, check out the portfolio below and maybe get in touch, or if it’s not you, consider boosting this post! Thank you all! 😘
Ruh-oh
If it's any consolation, literally every artist I've spoken to has said the same about this year
Where's he gone? Does this mean I can go spread Patrick misinformation to my heart's content
Hey 2D artists! JOB ALERT! 📣 Especially those who do cozy cartoony or pixel art. I have some game dev friends here in Galway from Psychic Software (Just released Necromancer's Tale) that are looking for an artist to team up for their next game. Send your portfolio over to psychicsoftware@gmail.com
There's a comfort in it. 🌌
Some Fenitians in collaboration with the Kerry branch of the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign, we are hosting a fundraising evening for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund on Saturday 6th September in #Tralee Bay Sailing Club, #Fenit Co. #Kerry
We need more #Tight90s

Horrific
I might adopt that approach to myself!
Yeah willful disregard for their wellbeing or autonomy is borderline abusive imho.
Very glad to have grown up pre-social media
I don't think some people understand the issues - dangers aside, once the images/information is out there, it's not in your control anymore and that's not a decision you should be making for someone too young to object.
It's absolutely possible to share things about (and photos of) kids while respecting and upholding their own right to privacy and autonomy - putting uncensored photos of their faces or bodies online, or details of their medical issues, or things like meltdowns or embarrassments, is never necessary.
