Does any Irish university offer a PhD by prior publication for creative writing/poetry? (Have a dream project that I have a proposal for but concerned about funding for four years, I only have funding for three and it depends on my current living situation remaining unchanged)

To the public, Microsoft uses its reputation as an AI & sustainability leader to tell a compelling story: AI will do wonders to help solve the climate crisis. To fossil-fuel firms, Microsoft has a different message: AI will help them drill, baby, drill. 1/ theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

SPACENEWS: Go outside & check out the #Supermoon tonight. It’s a brilliant clear sky & perfect weather for a moon watch. And if you feel like staying up til 3am you can catch a partial lunar eclipse too! #lookup

Never in a million years did I think this sort of thing would happen for me. Am over the moon with joy and looking forward so much to work ahead!!! Thank you so much to the panel and Publishing Ireland. 🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾🍾❤️❤️❤️⚡️⚡️

Paul Rudd’s Oirish accent in #onlymurders is not good. Dressed like a time traveller from a hundred years ago. Plus, drunk and rowdy. I thought Paul Rudd loved Ireland!

Happy Launch Day to Cauvery Madhavan 📚📚✨️ Cauvery is one of the most supportive writers on here so I am delighted I can make the launch this evening Hodges Figgis to cheer her on ❤️📚 #TheInheritance

We’ll be opening early for the release of Sally Rooney’s Intermezzo this Tuesday. Customers between 8-10am will get a free espresso (an Interspresso if you will, lol). Plus Faber have sent us lots of goody bags so freebies aplenty! What a way to start a Tuesday. Join us! 💙

…and Ireland! :) Very happy to be on the longlist for the Novel London novel prize! My book will be out next year with Storm Publishing. Laura Bennett The Liverpool Literary Agency #WritingCommmunity

Happy Friday! Here's a poem I wrote about spending Culture Night with my husband in our kitchen. It's called September Skies and was published in the martello journal & in Traces. Hope you enjoy it. 'The weekend sweeps in and once again the living room's an occupied soccer zone..'

Poems about Batman Returns you say? Well it just so happens…🦇🦇🦇

I think I’ve figured out the theme of #OnlyMurders season 3. It’s ham. Ham radio, the bathroom jamon, Paul Rudd’s hammy accent…

Anyone got any decent recommendations for audio books on BorrowBox please? They don’t seem to have anything I search for these days. 😔
