I’ll be updating my website with all my updated social media links, but I’m glittersandglows on Insta and Threads, and hcor on Bluesky. I’m most active on Insta.

Robins can be a little territorial. Was this little bird, seen on a DART last Monday, a little too early in grabbing a seat for our Christmas late night weekend services? ℹ️🌙 See more info and timetables irishrail.ie/en-ie/news/chr…

A young man DM’ed me, asking for realistic steps for young writers trying to get noticed, and if i had any tips. This was my best Writer Dad impression. I thought I should share, in case it helps anyone else.

@daraobriain Thought you might lije to know that you feature in IRISH HUNKS, a new book out from The O’Brien Press!

Niall Donald talking about how Jim Gavin ripped him off included the truest, most Irish statement I’ve ever heard in my life, like this absolutely would be what your friends would say to you in these circumstances

Been there sister

The kids are cooked

in light of today...my siuan x moiraine master thread//

to celebrate Wheel Of Time month, here's a thread exploring the seven different Ajah of the aes sedai with artwork from the opening credits of #TheWheelOfTime

Samantha Shannon, author of ‘The Dark Mirror’ will be in conversation with Helen Corcoran, author of the ‘Queen of Coin and Whispers’ series. Saturday, 8th March at 7pm in Eason O’Connell Street. @hcor @say_shannon @easons

@MxSpoike @unseeliewitch I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! 🥰

@hcor @unseeliewitch I just started this book and I am absolutely adoring it

So @_acciofandoms surprised me with ACTUAL FANART of Lia and Xania by @unseeliewitch, and I can’t believe it!! 😭💙 #QueenofCoinandWhispers

On August 12th, 2020, cousins Sara Feeney (23) and Ellen Glynn (17) drifted out to sea in Galway. Countless volunteers searched through the night. Patrick Oliver and his son, Morgan, found the girls alive clinging to a crab pot after 15 hours at sea. Nobody gave up on them.

Speaking of relays, these 4 women were sporting heroes in Ireland for their performances on the track last year. Decimated the Irish national record in finishing 4th in the 2024 Olympics. Fashion trend setters, too, with their iconic matching hair bows. 💚

Ireland is the current European Champions for the 4 x 400m mixed relay. Not only that but our winning team's celebratory jump produced a golden photo. Granted we're not European champions at very many things but when we occasionally do win, it's good times and big smiles.

In July, 2017, Grace Lehane, a 9-year-old girl in Cork, played the concertina to a very appreciative audience. This video has been viewed tens of millions of times on various platforms. I suppose it's just joy and innocence in its simplest forms, an antidote to online hate.

A plaque in his honour was erected in 2020, on the 10th anniversary of the famous day, sponsored by Coors Light. I suppose that's multiculturalism for you. 🇮🇪 🇺🇸 You can also guarantee he will still be fondly talked about in 50 years from now.

One of the most iconic moments in modern Irish history happened on January 8th, 2010. An innocuous news report featured a man who slipped on ice, who wasn't seriously hurt. That man, whoever he is, still gets talked about basically every day online. An Irish legend.

'Don't visit Ireland because two people at a bus stop, minding their own business, are not white.' Hard to quantify the damage "Irish patriot" racist idiots like O'Keeffe do with tweets like this or how truly unhinged they are. I'll throw out a few reasons to visit Ireland. /1

Screaming, crying, throwing up Sarah Michelle Gellar has released an official statement regarding the Buffy revival

Bring back patronage!!!! Rich people used to use funding the arts for their own pleasure as a bragging point, not destroying them!!!!!!!!

@NicolaPierce3 Nicola, I’m so very sorry. Much love to you. ❤️
