Plus ..I mean... There ARE permeable parking surfaces, if we really must have more parking. It's not difficult to use the honeycomb grid style to keep areas permeable and car friendly although that's really not the point.

Neighbours falling out over parking issues in Cork estates Concerns have been raised by North Cork councillors and those representing the Carrigaline municipal district.

In Blackpool we have car parks and roads draining surface water directly into the river. We now have a €20M+ flood scheme in the works. In Carrigaline we have a FF councillor suggesting that we turn green (water absorbent) spaces in car (non-permeable) spaces. #cork www.echolive.ie/corknews/ari...

An acrylic painting of an apple with lots of texture due to an impasto process. The shadows still need some work.

I'm learning how to draw and paint. I haven't done any of this since secondary school in the 1980s. It's so soothing.

It's gorgeous. Be proud. The hair, the shadows, the different shading... Ah... I admire this!

How many views do your photos usually get?
I'd have to understand all the factors here before making any guesses.

I freaking love corvids now. They're everywhere in this area of Ireland. I get hooded crows and grackles in my garden, and it's uncanny how smart they seem... Like... They make eye contact and I have to look away quickly because... Clearly, they're downloading my soul.

Oh, hell no. What was I thinking? No. No no no.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.

This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.

They must be released immediately.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Thanks, @alliebrosh.bsky.social . Honestly, I think I might need to make this into a wallet card so I can point to the number when applicable.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
