An interesting symbol outside the church of St. Agatha near the 5 lamps in Dublin.
ن (the Arabic letter for “N”) is used in ISIL controlled parts of Iraq/Syria. Christian property is marked with an “N”, or ن , it is the first letter of the Arabic word for Christian, “Nasrani” or “Nazarene”. It has being documented that property is often seized after some time. In many western countries the symbol is used to show solidarity with Iraqi Christians.

Sinéad O’Connor

 

Anyway, I’m joining Sinn Fein now. If they’ll have me. Just as a regular punter who wants to learn and contribute with whatever strengths I might have or learn. I’d like to see a proper socialist Ireland. I’d like to be educated as to how ordinary people like me can help bring about the changes which would make every child equally cherished and make everyone have equal rights. I realised the best way to revolt is vote. And the only vote that’s gonna give anyone a chance of bringing to fruition paragraphs three and four of the Proclamation of 1916 is Sinn Fein, because no other party at the moment is going to honour that Proclamation. If they were inclined to honour it they’d just hand over and say let’s have an election. “

The Beagles We Cut Corners – Mammals

An existential hound-packed video made by Annie Atkins of Grand Budapaest Hotel (2013) artwork fame.

Sez Annie:

“I was interested to find out that Conall and John [of We Cut Corners] are both school teachers so I set the video in a special classroom for dogs, and a beagle from Bray called Sonny played most of the canine characters – he was a pretty versatile lead.”

If ear lobes could talk.

They’d  probably ask for dainty vermeil gold hoop earrings.
