@jackiemcguin Jackie I'll miss your missives and pictures. I hope all is well. Keep walking.

This is my last tweet. Many thanks to all of you who have supported me over the last few years as I undertook the #100daysofwalking I will continue walking for my physical and mental health and I will miss all your beautiful photos.

If you listen to anyone this morning, let it be Gideon Levy. A phenomenal Israeli journalist who has been speaking truth to power for decades. Share his words. Far and Wide.

1/ Masochism is a key psychoanalytic concept One form is victim entitlement—insistence one is entitled to special compensation in proportion to suffering & victimhood. Thus the need to *amplify* suffering in all ways Without treatment, suffering/victimhood becomes a way of life

What poem or quote would you give to young people who are feeling hopeless?

@CadburyIreland maybe a little quality control required.... 13 strawberry creams (who even earsthem) and just one caramel. There was a time when a box of Cadburys Roses was a real treat but times have changed

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world The blood-dimmed tide is loosed and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned The best lack all conviction while the worst Are full of passionate intensity W. B. Yeats The Second Coming

@silverpebble You are one of the (increasingly few) reasons I'm still on twitter. I love your photos, your work and your raw honesty. Your book is well thumbed here in our family. Your value and your reach is so much greater than you can imagine. Hang in there. Please.

I was done with mental illness & trying to be a normal human & failing. I had unaliving plans in the last 48hrs but I asked my mate Laura for 20mins of her time & a hug last night & warned her there’d be big crying. She came anyway told me she loved me & I’m holding on to that x

@vonderleyen @EP_President When would you both visit Gaza as well to express solidarity to the families of the slain civilians? The victims of the war crimes presently being perpetrated, etc. You clearly have spoken against war crimes before, there should be consistency. 🙏

Getting your Leaving Cert results on Friday? We have a list of key dates you need to know, including deadlines for viewing exam scripts, appealing subjects and CAO offers. 🧵(1/8) #LCresults23

@beans_irl @LankumDublin @ATNfestival Yeah I know it's a festival and I know people talk. I'm just not sure what you think either of those things have to do with the ability at a professional gig to have good sound. The have managed in other areas is good. They need to sort their sound out. It was rubbish. Pity.

@emqueg @LankumDublin @ATNfestival Cunts was chatting. It did really make me long for an intimate gig, but it still sounded fine. It's a festival

Strutting our stuff at 9:45 tonight at @ATNfestival... ❤

@objohnob @RTEsoccer Bit of a witch hunt gas started in Irish media against pau

@RTEsoccer A big fan of Katie but she doesn't come out of all this in a good light. Vera deserves a lot more respect than what she is getting right now, especially from the morality police in the Irish media.

A power struggle, or at least a perceived one, between the Republic of Ireland manager Vera Pauw and captain Katie McCabe is playing out in the public eye.

@rutholearywrite @ItaOKelly @greenparty_ie @Education_Ire @NormaFoleyTD1 You can't give them away, I'm telling you. Believe me I've tried.

@ItaOKelly @greenparty_ie @Education_Ire @NormaFoleyTD1 Your local Facebook Freecycle page might be the answer. It’s an incredible page with people posting items they are giving away for free. I have posted a picture of school books on it before and they have been snapped up.

What should happen to all those #LeavingCert2023 books, many costing circa €30+ each. I feel *deeply* uncomfortable putting them in a green bin in the middle of a #CostOfLivingCrisis & #ClimateCrisis Any suggestions @greenparty_ie @Education_Ire @NormaFoleyTD1 #EamonRyan
