I am very excited to announce my first book of poetry (self-published) will be available via Barnes & Noble. 'Le Tournesol and other poems' is released the 31st of January 2023, and pre-orders are available NOW

These poems express my feelings and experiences relating to trauma, depression, anxiety, and finding love and happiness (there's also an ode to the late Queen Elizabeth II). The Hardback is US$16 and eBook is US$10 - but ships internationally 😁 Check it out, and pre-order if you're interested in queer poetry, poetry in general, or me in general 😉

Favourite blogs/users on Tumblr?

Oh, this is so difficult! I have so many... In no particular order, here are some blogs I really love. Some are mutuals, others not. If I forget anyone, I'm really sorry (i generally hate questions like this because I feel I will always forget golden blogs). I will try add to this list if I remember others.

Tagged by @seaglassandeelgrass and @kcrabb88 thank you!

last song: I've been looking for good version of the traditional ballad 'The Trooper Cut Down In His Prime'.

currently watching:

currently reading: Mostly The Oxford History of Modern War ed. Charles Townshend.

current obsession: devoting a lot of headspace to the Siege of Fort Meigs in 1813, as one does.

10 Shows to Get to Know Me

Tagged by @neutralmilkhotelfoxtrot and finally getting around to it! I don’t watch shows very much any more, so a lot of these are more of the “a formative part of my youth” type.  1. Spongebob Squarepants 2. Samurai Jack (original seasons) 3. Dragon Ball Z 4. G Gundam 5. Gankutsuou 6. Buffy the Vampire Slayer 7. Our Flag Means Death 8. Adventure Time 9. Project Runway 10. Waiting For God If they feel like doing it: @deadgirlrising @thuviel @zeehasablog @themonstercals @wollfling @hexnovo @irisjaycomics @deltastic @glassshard @notfromcold

10 Songs, 10 People

Thank you for tagging me @bayalexison!

Rules: list ten songs, then tag ten people to pass the game on to! (bonus points if it's from a wip/character playlist!)

1. "Losing My Religion" - R.E.M. 2. "Space Oddity" - David Bowie 3. "Ashes To Ashes" - David Bowie 4. "Let's Dance" - David Bowie 5. "Roma Fade" - Andrew Bird 6. "The Henney Buggy Band" - Sufjan Stevens 7. "Stand On The Horizon" - Franz Ferdinand 8. "The Dark Of The Matinee" - Franz Ferdinand 9. "Walk Away" - Franz Ferdinand* 10. "Mykonos" - Fleet Foxes

Mostly I linked to the official music videos, assuming there were any, but in some cases the best I could do was a lyrics video. I starred "Walk Away" though, because I think it's worth watching- as noir-like as it is!

Tagging: I'm not sure I know 10 people worth tagging, but maybe @47ness, @zeehasablog, and @yourunderwaterskies would like to play.

@zeehasablog Too bad these royals didn’t have a historical equivalent of a financial advisor (who didn’t kiss their behinds) to tell them to stop spending so much money so their descendants wouldn’t be broke or bankrupt.

The French royals’ (from King Louis XIV to King Louis XVI) financial situation was exactly like this if my memory serves me right. They spend and spend and by the time Louis XVI became King, they didn’t have a lot of money and were also dealing with a lot of social and political upheavals. Also not paying close attention to their subjects’ general unhappiness about French society didn’t help either. While I feel bad for Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette, especially with their horrific ends, they could have learn about budgeting.

15 questions for 15 mutuals!

Thank you again to @wernerherzoghaircut for tagging moi! ^.^

1. Are you named after anyone? Nope, it was very off-the-cuff. Being born in Dublin, of course traffic was an issue, so by the time my father arrived to the hospital, I was already here :P Apparently he picked me up and looked at me and suddenly said, "Ah, my little Katie." And that was that!

2. When was the last time you cried? Last Sunday, probably. Almost cried a few times since lol.

3. Do you have kids? Nope.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot? ...Can I answer this with sarcasm or is that too much?

5. What sports do you play/have you played? I don't do anything rn, but when I was like 11, I did Taekwondo for a bit. In school, we had to do sports like hurling/camogie (Gaelic sport), swimming, and a little badminton. But generally that was because I had to for P.E., otherwise I never did anything sporty (except the Taekwondo - that was a choice I made). -_-" :P Also casually played soccer in school as a kid. I was more of an artsy girl tbh.

6. What's the first thing you notice about other people? How they dress, their general vibe/energy and their eyes. All are pretty simultaneous, but I guess energy first.

7. What's your eye colour? Dark blue.

8. Scary movies or happy endings? I prefer a tragedy, but all these have their right places.

9. Any special talents? Hmm, not sure. People have commended me for my writing, but I'm still working on making that a career. Theatre is hard when you don't know enough people rip. I can reach High C pretty easily when singing. I'm pretty okay at sketching, and I tend to pick up on foreign languages pretty quickly and easily. Oh, and I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue lmfao XD

10. Where were you born? Ireland

11. What are your hobbies? Learning languages (French lessons atm), watching movies, researching history and people from the past who've caught my interest, writing, sketching, listening to music, film photography, sorta singing but that's on and off a lot atm...

12. Do you have any pets? Three cats! <3 They are all insane haha.

13. How tall are you? 5'3"/160cm

14. Favorite subject in school? English, history and German.

15. Dream job? Revered theatremaker and filmmaker (mostly for writing and costume design but hey I would never decline acting or directing haha). Hopefully AI won't fuck us over.

I shall tag (again, only if you wanna <3): @melancholic--soull @mirandasinclairs @welcome-home-nyx @jazz-vampire @zeehasablog @neednottoneed @moonchild-77777 @drum-cu-naluci @st-theodora @heartandmusic @hymnsandhearses @gayvillainera @cafeomancer @sonybuzz42 aaaaand I can't think of any other mutuals atm, but if you see this, consider yourself tagged! :P

Make-up in those days was very dangerous, and remained so until chemistry advanced enough to determine what was toxic and what was not

Latest Acquisition - Les Quatre Filles du Docteur Marsch - Little Women by Louisa May Alcott translated into French by P.J. Stahl - 1886 Collection Hetzel I purchased this beautiful illustrated copy of Little Women in French to help me with my studies; I was advised that a translated book would use more simple French versus a French book, and since I’ve read Little Women many times, I thought it would be easier for me to follow!

I love seeing the advertisements at the back of Victorian books, the collection of other titles you could purchase from the publishers.

Funny; watching TV, ads for two different news shows on different channels: 1) Meghan's father pulls out of ceremony due to a heart attack! 2) Meghan's father pulls out of ceremony after being found colluding with paparazzi! ---- something tells me number 2 is more accurate...
