- Reposted by CelaVYesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
- Reposted by CelaVHad a pretty convincing scam call from a lady pretending to be from my mobile operator. Said there was a Jan promotion of 20% off — did I want in? And if so, I’d get a six digit code texted to me. Which immediately came (from my real operator’s SMS)… (—> cont’d)
- Reposted by CelaVThis account stuck my comic through an ugly AI filter, removed my @ from the bottom and blocked me when I called them out.

- Reposted by CelaVGreat event coming up -
- Reposted by CelaVYesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org religiondispatches.org/elon-musk-ju...
- Reposted by CelaVThis place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive
- Reposted by CelaVWhen thinking about accessibility, one of the most important things you can do is listen to feedback from disabled people. Listen, learn, and do better next time. Take it as an action, rather than a defensive reaction.
- Reposted by CelaVIt sounds like comically specific hyperbole but it is verifiably true that in the same year Elon Musk predicted fully autonomous taxis serving half the nation, what actually happened was his chatbot became a pedophile

- Reposted by CelaVSo @lexialex.bsky.social filed this appeal but is only getting automated replies @support.bsky.team very disappointed given @aaron.bsky.team also lives in Ireland. Have they not taught you anything about solidarity with Palestine?
- Reposted by CelaVVenezuela, Iran and Nigeria are all in Trump’s gunsights. Turns out that together, the 3 countries also hold almost a third of the world’s oil reserves. Canada, aka Trump’s “51st state,”holds an additional 10 percent.
- For all of you being asked how the elf gets back to the North Pole
- Reposted by CelaVBig thank you to all the people working through Christmas looking after everyone
- Reposted by CelaVIt seems to have been overlooked in the fox hunting debate but we had a Minister of State advocating for us to actively drive 2 native species to extinction. #Spéirgorm Eradication isn't management. It isn't pest control. It isn't even the killing for sport of these species. It's extinction.
- Reposted by CelaVLiam Herrick: Why has Ireland abruptly decided the European Convention on Human Rights goes too far?
- Reposted by CelaVAs we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
- Reposted by CelaV🌈 SAVE THE DATE — Fill in the Survey - Have Your Say in the Future of Pride in Cork! 🌈 Gay Project, LINQ Ireland, and Gender Rebels are teaming up to host a community-wide LGBTI+ consultation on 24th January 2026 and we want you there. 💬💖
- Reposted by CelaVLive Translation (different languages translated live on a call) is now active on EU iPhones/AirPods via iOS 26.2. Settings -> Software Update -> Apple Intelligence & Siri It was held up by Apple saying that EU’s DMA regs made it harder to launch here
- My second most fave. I have it at work, along with a small duck that I move occasionally.
- Reposted by CelaVPatrick O’Donovan went out on the national airwaves with a half-baked, bad set of ideas about linking access to online spaces to our PPS numbers. If he had these ideas himself, it would be a Christmas miracle. But in fact, they are the Zuckerberg lobbying aim across the world.
- Reposted by CelaVIreland is one of only three countries in the EU with a religious State education system. The others are Malta (Catholic) & Greece (Orthodox). Ireland has been a secular country for 53 years, over half the life of the State. It's way past time all State education was secular. #SocialistSunday
- Reposted by CelaVChoirs and carrollers on Emmet Place at the #Corkmas market. This is the Ukrainian-led ‘Voices of Peace’ - and they’ll be at the Counting House later today #NollaigIgCorcaigh #Speirgorm
- Reposted by CelaVAnn Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown. Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.
- Reposted by CelaV!! Ireland has a unique opportunity to end foxhunting on Dec 17th when the Dail will vote on a proposed ban. Please contact your TDs and ask them to support a ban. #speirgorm Print used with kind permission by @katelouisepowell.bsky.social, find her lovely work here: www.etsy.com/ie/shop/Kate...
- Reposted by CelaVI left Ireland and moved to New York in 1997. Decades on, what the US has become has broken my immigrant heart. It also baffled me, until I began to piece together Gen X memories of apartheid South Africa.
- Reposted by CelaVImmigration to Ireland was down 16% last year. Just putting that out there.
- Reposted by CelaVRoman Catholic Mother and Baby Home deaths in Ireland between 1922 and 1998 approximated 9,000 infants. Religion used to justify violence.
- Reposted by CelaVIf you live in Ireland, remember that in recent memory a single rugby-loving bank CEO cost the taxpayer more than every single welfare recipient in the state COMBINED. #SpeirGorm
- Reposted by CelaVSo this happened in Oslo yesterday. Four articulated buses got stuck in a roundabout.

- Reposted by CelaVThese rare whales had never been seen alive. Then a team in Mexico sighted two
- Reposted by CelaVWe are a social species, and we have always prevailed through cooperation. Caring for our sick. Raising children we didn't sire or birth because they were part of our village or extended family. We are not breeders and predators, we are communicators and survivors. We evolved to UNITE.

- Reposted by CelaVThere's a link at the bottom of each story, to access a whole slew of tables detailing the results of the City Centre Crime Victim Survey, if you're a journalist and want to write about them, or an academic and want to study them, or are just curious. 8/
- Reposted by CelaVUNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it. But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues. Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.
- Reposted by CelaV“The symbolism of the moment is hard to beat. At a time when Trump is not just demonising immigrants, but harassing them and sending masked goons to kidnap them from the street, America’s greatest city – and Trump’s hometown – has elected a Muslim immigrant to run it.”

- Reposted by CelaVUgh. "People are unhappy with the direction the country is going in." Correct!!! The government is leaning into far right rhetoric, where the people have JUST SHOWN OVERWHELMINGLY they want to go in a more caring, left leaning society that looks after all and rejects the racism of the right.
- If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from ‘Star Wars’, ‘Star Trek’, Doctor Who’ or ‘Transformers’.
- Reposted by CelaVUplift and Ireland Thinks did the research on it recently so there's actually not any excuse for them not knowing this is the case:
- Reposted by CelaVI repost this each October in the hope that the complexity of Halloween's origins and customs are more widely appreciated. Claims of a simple historical & mononational genealogy for this celebration are themselves examples of contemporary folklore/mythmaking. limerick1914.medium.com/customs-vary...
- If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula
