If you were previously on the electoral register for the old NUI and Trinity Seanad constituencies and want to retain your vote you have to re-register for the new Higher Education Constituency - this replaces the old constituencies and there is no automatic transfer of your vote to the new register. Deadline is this Thursday
If you are a graduate of a third level institution that wasn't previously eligible to vote, you may be now. Same deadline applies
One of the best shows on national Irish Radio is 'The Blue of the Night'. It's about as concrete a definition of 'eclectic music' that you can get. I've heard everything on there from jangly bluegrass to haunting electronic trance to Himalayan throat singing.

I can't wait to see what results from this project, just up the road from me 👇
Last November I was approached by Dublin City University (DCU) to be one of five artists in residence creating work for a project called SEED.The brief is to create an artwork that presents complex environmental data without prioritising the sense of vision in the artwork. As a **visual** artist, this is obviously a challenge.
Even more challenging – it is at the artists' discretion what data to use. Sometimes having no limitation on a project can just make it more daunting.

Sometimes I think my #solarpunk ideas are very original. Decentralized countries. 3D printers manufacturing anything. Biophotovaltic panels that grow in backyards to power homes. And then I read an article like this and I remember that a lot of other writers like me are reacting to our present dilemmas and troubles, and we probably grew up on the same kind of scifi stories so we most likely end up with the same solutions. See #books to read inside.

I've been meaning to recommend this tv series to people. Pro Bono is an immensely entertaining Korean courtroom drama with plenty of humour and heart. Sometimes it leaves the West panting in the dust when it comes to tough issues. I was blown away by the conclusion of the episodes to do with an immigration case. You can see this in English on Netflix.

Incase anyone is interested in the Biochar burn I did the other day here’s how it worked for me (I was not sure what to expect- so feel like it might help others)
I used a biochar kiln, with an inner & outer sleeve. The inner sleeve has holes at the bottom and very top only.
The fuel was riddled woodchip (to stop too small particles blocking airflow)
1 You can see the gasses coming through the top airholes & burning off.
2 flames go pale/invisible
3 quenched char
The biochar will help aerate the soil, add microbiology help with water retention and make a long term store of inert carbon.
The biochar burn stores more carbon than is burnt off, making it a net carbon store despite the fire.
We get woodchip as a waste product from the local tree surgeon.
I also managed to get some willow offcuts from a local basket weaver’s class & will try those next. They will also try making biochar with the rest of their offcuts.
❝ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone.❞
Read that. Reread that. Internalize it. Map that back to every story you’ve heard of ICE agents going off the rails, every random kidnapping, every brutal and stupid ICE story.

You know the classic story of the foolish employer who paid software developers per bug fixed? If you haven’t, you can guess the outcome: program called off when one developer “fixed“ hundreds of bugs in a single day (that they’d intentionally introduced).
This is just like that, except not like it at all: the “fake bugs” — ICE agents abducting random people to make a buck — are the •intended• effect.

How far back in time can you understand English?
It’s a thousand years of the English language, compressed into a single blog post.
"... as his post goes on, his language gets older. A hundred years older with each jump. The spelling changes. The grammar changes. Words you know are replaced by unfamiliar words, and his attitude gets older too, as the blogger’s voice is replaced by that of a Georgian diarist, an Elizabethan pamphleteer, a medieval chronicler."
