    It is almost a year to the day since he released his 'Rascal' EP on Spotify. Needless to say he is really delighted with these end of year stats. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported him. Listen here:

    Found the rest of my John Sessions letters. I thought they were gone for good. I can’t remember the significance of the A4 file paper. I was 15. 💜

    This Guardian article written 4 years ago, still remains the most important piece I've ever written as I open up about my brothers death from alcoholism I still miss him every day

    Ugh I cannot even. I'm off to my hidey hole to write things and if I hear another word about rich white authors losing their perceived entitlement to publish I swear I will zine my entire back catalogue and wallpaper their holiday homes with it.

    Hot take: the DUP have been uncomfortable with Arlene since she got in. I don't think they'll elect another woman.

    Anyway, that's it for now but I will be sure to update you all with the next instalment of The Many Instagram Accounts Of Thirsty YA Fan Javier-Bardem-Or-Am-I.

    Part 3: Dane starts to lose patience. Why don't I wanna respond? I should feel honoured. And I do, Dane, I do! I am simply considering my response. I have to act responsibly here. Who knows what state Javier will be in if I send him a sentence which is longer than two words.

    Part 2: Javier has been observing my love and I am chosen because of my nice words. I am flattered, obviously, but 'nice'? I didn't get into writing for this! More of the 'profound impact' stuff please.

    He got fed up in the end. After all, Javier Bardem is a huge film star. I mean he must have been thinking I'm freaking Javier Bardem, why am I writing my own DMs? So today I got this message from his very-definitely-real manager. It's in 3 parts: Part 1- Who the hell is José?

    So by the 3rd DM I'm starting to wonder who the fan is here. Cos Javier, hun, you've sent me 3 messages now and I only commented once on your Instagram. It's all getting a bit Kathy Bates in Misery tbh. But maybe he just likes YA writing from Northern Ireland? Can't blame him.

    Obviously I ignored it, it's not THEE real Javier, right? But what about this, another message which came a few days later. Way more convincing! A simple thank you for my comment. Awk that's nice, isn't it? But no need to create another account just to thank me Javier!

    Wow, a message from Javier! And he *swears* that it's really him! And he'd like to invite me to his next, um, concert....

    That's the only time I've ever commented on his Instagram, as far as I can remember. I mean I'm only human, we've all sent Javier Bardem messages that our memory immediately redacts, ammarite? Anyway. A few days later I get this in my DMs:

    I follow Javier Bardem on Instagram. Not only is he great talent, famous for being a nice looking man who plays frightening characters with interesting hair, he is also a climate activist. All the things, basically. This is my response to a post he made about climate change.

    This is the story of how Javier Bardem is stalking me on Instagram. It is very definitely the real Javier Bardem*, and he is very persistent. So anyway... A Thread. *It isn't. Don't sue me.

    I had a vegan pizza from Asda and really loved it - it was definitely one of the best vegan pizzas I've ever had. I looked it up and it has tons of one star reviews calling it terrible... Next time someone sends me a negative review, I shall remember this 😅

    A photo of one of our Firefighters Hayley was seen across the world this weekend as she worked with over 100 Firefighters to extinguish the large gorse fire in the Mournes. She wanted to take a chance to thank everyone for the amazing support we received from our community.
