Amazing Pilots, The Peregrine, The Kestrel And The Mute Swan

Sometimes I'm blown away by the fact that birds are sentient aircraft. When I overhear people complaining about how there are too many pigeons or seagulls around, I think about it the other way, I feel privileged that I get to share a planet with such amazing animals. Birds are amazing pilots. And what I'm … Continue reading Amazing Pilots, The Peregrine, The Kestrel And The Mute Swan →

Transphobia Is A Useless Distraction From Your Real Problems, Don’t Fall For It!

I remember, starting around 2020, it could have been before that but this is just when I became aware of it, trans people really started to become a target. It started as something I would witness from afar in Britain and the United States, but as the years went by, I would gradually meet Irish … Continue reading Transphobia Is A Useless Distraction From Your Real Problems, Don’t Fall For It! →

It’s Almost That Time Of Year, Boycott The Goddamn Eurovision Again!

I'm not a fan of the Eurovision, but strangely, the beginning of my activism against the genocide of the Palestinian people began with the Eurovision. My first ever act of protest against the genocide was to write an email to RTE asking them to pull out of the Eurovision, in protest of Israel's participation. They … Continue reading It’s Almost That Time Of Year, Boycott The Goddamn Eurovision Again! →

RFK Jr has a horrific illness, why do people have to be so mean?

Pseudoscience, Ableism, and Callous Greed Led To the Horrific Death Of A Five Year Old Boy

I sometimes find myself grieving for those, who through horrific bad luck, live very short lives. If I hear a story about a teenager who dies of cancer, or a four year old killed in a house fire, or a young adult who dies by a brain aneurysm, I'll often be deeply upset, for the … Continue reading Pseudoscience, Ableism, and Callous Greed Led To the Horrific Death Of A Five Year Old Boy →

Biden Was Horrific When It Came To Palestine, But It Doesn’t Follow That Trump Is Any Better

So, I could write many blogposts, and probably will, about the election of Trump at the end of 2024. The reason I haven't wrote about it so far is that, I don't even know where to start. Do I write about how I breathed a sigh of relief when Robert F Kennedy Jr, an advocate … Continue reading Biden Was Horrific When It Came To Palestine, But It Doesn’t Follow That Trump Is Any Better →

The Music Of Other Minds

As I write this, I can hear music outside. It's the music of a mind so different from mine. A brain diverged from my own by at least 300 million years of evolution. It's the music of, a woodpigeon! The sound of a wood pigeon I recorded: https://xeno-canto.org/977080 https://imgur.com/7UYfcA5 WOO-WOO-WOO-WOO!!!!! I love the song of … Continue reading The Music Of Other Minds →
