in my mind these kind of threads are a bit naff/ gauche, but that's really something i should get over. so: a thread of things i have written that i think are quite good, and that you might want to read as the last hours of the working week drip away!

every now and then i have even written about politics ! i didn't like this at the time but i now think it's probably a pretty good irish politics explainer for clueless brits. don't ask me how the election turned out https://www.thesocialreview.co.uk/2020/02/08/time-for-real-change-irelands-general-election/
