Last year, during my yearly visit to the Coolim Cliffs, I wrote this: https://autismneurodiversity.com/2024/08/16/magnificent-insects-on-the-coolim-cliffs/ And perhaps some of you are thinking, wouldn't it be great if I wrote another post about the birds of the Coolim Cliffs?

How I Went From Hating The Irish Language To Wishing I Was Able To Speak It.
Like most Irish people, I'm a monolingual English speaker. That's broadly how it is across the country. Within Europe, Ireland is a weird outlier in that way. Before I developed severe travel anxiety, I visited Germany, France, Portugal, Hungary, Poland, Iceland, Italy and Norway, and there, people who speak both their native language and English … Continue reading How I Went From Hating The Irish Language To Wishing I Was Able To Speak It.

We Should STILL All Be Screaming.
I was looking back on when I wrote some of my blogposts, and I realized it's been close to a year since I wrote this: https://autismneurodiversity.com/2024/08/25/why-arent-we-all-screaming/ And I entertained the idea of waiting until the 25th of this month to write this, but I thought, writer's block being what it is, better not risk it, … Continue reading We Should STILL All Be Screaming.
A Raven, A Kestrel, And Bees!!!!!
Before I go on a long cycle, I always check the weather forecast beforehand. I like the security of knowing that there'll be no rain, it won't be too hot or too cold, and that the wind won't be strong enough to make for a difficult cycle. But, before my last cycle, the weather forecast … Continue reading A Raven, A Kestrel, And Bees!!!!!

Should Humanity Itself Be Made A Proscribed Organization?
Good Evening, I'm Completely Empty BBC Presenter. Recently, the British Government made the decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group. Now, some may be thinking, that's a bit extreme. But I've got news for those extremists who think that's too extreme. Through modern technology, we've managed to figure out what Osama Bin Laden … Continue reading Should Humanity Itself Be Made A Proscribed Organization?
Finding Hope Along the Cork Harbour Greenway
https://imgur.com/mjbkwq1 Black Tailed Godwits I feel for the last few years hope is something that's been in short supply. The horrific genocide in Palestine, the re-election of Trump, the seemingly unstoppable climate change catastrophe, well, it could be stopped if the powers that be wanted to, but they won't, and the fact that an unbelievable … Continue reading Finding Hope Along the Cork Harbour Greenway
