When we created Emperor 101, it felt like it captured a brief moment of Covid conspiracy madness. Sadly, it's still v. relevant. Tks to @stir_vancouver for this great preview with @jomangan createastir.ca/articles/emper… @leonbutler @PerformanceCorp @de_Paor @KarlQui @CaitrionaNiMhu1

How to get around 'protected' structures in Ireland Step 1 let go derelict, expose & let it rot Step 2 claim its no longer structurally ok Step 3 demolish, ensuring everything is destroyed #DerelictIreland #heritagematters

The Irish state's badger killing programme is barbaric. Last year 5,187 were snared and shot. There is no closed season so mothers are shot even when dependent young are helpless in the sett. We can't even say it's bringing down TB rates in cattle.

This poster is a 1709 call by the Lord Mayor of Dublin for the utmost 'rigour of the law' to be used against those defaming, defrauding or attacking Palatine #refugees in our city. In the face of people complaining about refugees, the city said #refugeesWelcome

Grateful for a bit of winter sun. Is is it any wonder they built Newgrange?

It is worth remembering that it is possible to passionately advocate for more resources, housing and safety in communities while at the same time actively welcoming refugees. These are not opposing views. Time to be careful about narratives and what drives them. #RefugeesWelcome

If you are out of ideas, go for a walk. This paper found walking (whether outdoors or a treadmill) increased key types of creative thinking for over 80% of undergraduates. The reasons are not fully clear, but there seem to be direct effects on the brain. apa.org/pubs/journals/…
