I got my travel permit for my mobility scooter today. 😀 "To travel on Dublin Bus with your mobility scooter you must have a permit. This is because some mobility scooters are too big to fit on Dublin Bus buses. To find out if your scooter is the correct size and to arrange a permit, contact Dublin Bus’ Travel Assistance."

Travel Assistance Scheme in Dublin https://www.dublinbus.ie/accessibility/travel-assistance-scheme

I had another lesson today in getting on and off with my mobility scooter. This is a lot harder than my electric wheelchair which has a much tighter turning circle. There are loads of hand rails that can get in the way of turning (people on foot probably wouldn’t notice them). If you know the angles and spots to go to it is much easier. Though you still will need sometimes to ask people to temporarily move particularly if they have a buggy on the opposite side to the wheelchair spot. Also there are different types of buses on my routes with different internal layouts.

I'm going to have one more lesson but he is confident I could do it myself now.

As it says above, you need to get approved to use a mobility scooter on Dublin Bus. But even for powered wheelchair users, it's a great free scheme to build up confidence and realise for example that you may need to ask people to get up temporarily even if they're not in the wheelchair spot itself. It's like getting free driving lessons.

A lesson just to clarify is where they accompany you on the bus. So they meet you at the stop or in your home and you get on one live bus and get off it at the next stop and then get on another live bus, etc. Alternatively, as we did when I first started with my electric wheelchair: we got on a live bus (I was totally confused what to do as I didn't even know the spot or that you have to face backwards but the travel assistance helper sorted me out). Then we went to a bus terminus and practised getting on and off when a bus driver was on their break tilt I built up more confidence.

There is also a Travel Assistance Scheme in Cork https://www.buseireann.ie/inner.php?id=757 .

I heard before they hoped to start them in other parts of the country such as Galway and Limerick.

Sipping pints of Guinness, swapping football shirts and purring about respect and new dawns, the British and Irish prime ministers seemed determined to inject long-absent warmth into the relationship between their countries when they met on Saturday. The thaw is overdue; Keir Starmer’s visit to Dublin was the first by a British PM in five years. In 2019, Boris Johnson’s visit came amid manifold anxieties about securing a Brexit deal, prompting a declaration from the Irish government that “the people of this island, North and South, need to know that their livelihoods, their security and their sense of identity will not be put at risk as a consequence of a hard Brexit. The stakes are high. Avoiding the return of a hard border on this island and protecting our place in the single market are the Irish government’s priorities in all circumstances.”

The distrustful atmosphere was a product not just of the June 2016 British vote to leave the EU, but a broader Tory ignorance about what the border in Ireland represented. The failure to consider that issue during the Brexit referendum campaign was compounded by simplistic distortions and assertions. The border was then resurrected as a touchstone, much to its discomfort, as imagined irascibly in the Twitter feed @BorderIrish: “I was just minding my own business, being a largely invisible little border that no one had thought about for years … after decades of misery … and then along comes Brexit, like some gobshite taking its first lesson, crashing all over the place.”

Unfortunately, it was worse than that for most Irish observers, who saw Brexit as many gobshites, driving multiple cars in too many directions with no knowledge of the destination. Ireland seemed a rock of political stability, maturity and calm as the Tories imploded. A deal was eventually struck that infuriated unionists as Northern Ireland remained half in and half out of the EU.

Brexit poisoned the well of British-Irish relations. The Tories’ romantic and selective view of Britain’s imperial past led to much renewed flexing of Irish nationalist muscles, a reminder of the continuing relevance of the observation by the then British ambassador to Ireland, Alan Goodison, in 1983 that in Anglo-Irish relations there was “a raw nerve which never sleeps”.

The desire to now reset appears genuine. Starmer, with an oft-expressed fondness for Ireland, a history of involvement with Northern Ireland issues and a strong component of staff with Irish links, is well placed to reduce strains. But we should not get carried away. One message that has resonated through the years is the advice given to another British Labour prime minister, James Callaghan, who, when he was home secretary, was urged to avoid “getting sucked into the Irish bog”.

That bog might be less perilous than it once was, but it still creates wariness in Britain.

Although the fervid days of the Troubles and violence are over and power-sharing has been restored in Northern Ireland, there are ongoing concerns about the prospects of Irish unity, immigration and the legacy of the Troubles. Starmer has committed to repealing the contentious Legacy Act, introduced by the Conservatives, which closed down criminal investigations into the Troubles. But what will replace it remains unclear.

Starmer is circumspect about Irish unity. And while historically there was the British Labour slogan “Justice for Ireland”, in practice there was much detachment and hesitancy about getting embroiled in Ireland.

Starmer’s Dublin visit generated healthy promises, including a formal annual summit between the two countries, protecting and developing an estimated yearly £100bn trade and business relationship, and nurturing cooperation on energy, climate change, sport, education and culture. There was also the assertion of the importance of both governments being co-guarantors of the Good Friday agreement.

None of this should be dismissed; geography as well as history has always been central to British-Irish relations, and what is being attempted is a recognition of the scale of our entwinements. But while a dose of British humility will be welcomed in Ireland and Starmer appears genuine, the Irish appetite for adapting to shifting British currents and priorities has waned.

Brexit fundamentally altered Irish foreign policy. The Irish public have consistently been enthusiastic about EU membership. Brexit deepened that; at the height of tensions in 2019, a Eurobarometer poll suggested Ireland topped the EU table for having a positive image of the EU at 63%. Only 7% had a negative image, hardly a surprise given the solidarity with Ireland shown by its EU partners amid the Brexit fallout.

Ireland’s foreign policy anchor lies heavily in EU waters. Security, the climate crisis, migration, economic and defence issues for Ireland demand more focus on Europe. The late historian Ronan Fanning identified a constant feature of the Anglo-Irish relationship when he observed in the most fraught days: “Britain looms larger in the Irish consciousness than Ireland in the British.” That endures, but it has faded somewhat.

When Starmer speaks of a British-Irish partnership reaching “its full potential”, he is also seeing that as a route to a warmer British relationship with the EU. That potential is somewhat limited; nor is the Irish consciousness quite as consumed by Britain as it once was.

I flounder at the conundrum we live in right now. I'm 51, and grew up doing EVERYTHING, like my parents were young and I had so many ridiculous lessons and they built a family kayak at home and we went fishing on the regular and then camped across the country for a month. I had girl scouts and piano lessons and we moved when I was a kid to a small bit of acreage where I had a horse and we planted an acre of tomatoes and raised animals and we kept a sourdough starter alive for years.

In my life I have helped start multiple things which thrived for a while and then failed later, after I'd moved on. I've traveled and tried new foods and at one point I knew that almost anywhere I could possibly go I could probably find a friend to crash with because there were that many connections to be made.

And in 2019 we took our 7 year old child to Dublin. He got to try new things and met new people and see places he hadn't seen before.

I used to be the parent whose house was always open--my eldest is 30 and for a long time my house was "Jen's home for wayward queer youth" to quote one such youth, where their friends would come and sometimes stay for a while. The space in my heart wants to say "there is always room for one more."

But I'm immune compromised. And the pandemic. And our lives have narrowed to the point where I can't risk air travel.

And my son has to ask if he can bring a friend over in advance because some days I absolutely cannot cope with the sensory issues of wearing a mask in my house, the logistics of figuring out food around having someone in our space. I can't invite his friend to stay for dinner though in the past I would have in a heartbeat because there was always room for one more...

But yes, everywhere is somewhere and everyone is someone and every car you pass on the road has someone with an entire existence and set of motivations and the plot of their own story and it is sad to me that the more connected we become, the more isolated we get.

My youngest will probably not be able to just spend weeks at a time shuffling between our house and his best friend's house the way I did when I was a kid.

At age 11 I was riding a horse around our neighborhood completely unsupervised. For him at 11 we're waiting for summer for me to maybe, at last, see if I can overcome the executive function barriers (mine) to teach him to ride a bike.

We realized in the shoe store the other day that he'd never actually learned to tie his shoes because he's never had tie shoes. So I taught him, then and there. And then the salesperson brought over little doohickies that slide up and down the laces and negate the need for bows. Which is safer, really, but...

My eldest drives stick. My youngest probably never will. They're 18 years apart in age.

The notes on a recent post got me thinking

By nature, I’m a fan of having 2 beers and meeting strangers at a bar somewhere you’ve never been, which is a thing that we don’t do in 2023 between COVID and being afraid of one another because of the prevalence of gun violence and regular violence and misdirected road rage and the million other little deadly social erosions of the past 10 years or so.

You have got to let go of this idea that any place is a complete nothing-burger full of nothing-people.

You have to.

Its vitally important that you navigate that airport with a stranger in Denver and realize he’s got a tattoo of lyrics from your favorite song. To sing House of the Rising Sun with four people you’ve known for 2 hours (and somehow managed to get into the DNCs private bar with) in the back of an Uber in DC when it’s pissing rain and entirely too cold for your southern blood. It’s important to cooperate and solve problems together and go about it laughing and singing. We are silly little creatures that love a puzzle and a story.

It’s also important to flee a tornado in the back of a shitty red pickup at pride in Oklahoma City and feel the sky break wide-open against the lazy /tick-lok/ /tick-lok/ of the windshield wipers while racing down what once was Rte 66. Its important to know that in the face of creeping fascism that place, of all places, has entire gay neighborhoods. It’s important to wake up in an apartment high, high up in NYC and watch the sun through the buildings and boulevards and watch the glorious great goddamn of that impossible number of people all cooperating and all not. To say Hyoo-stun, that way, on purpose just to get a rise of your born and bred NY friend who does NOT think you’re funny but will make coffee for you.

You need to see a beach full of people cautiously approaching and flinching away from a floating, dead horseshoe crab on Tybee Island, Georgia the way any troupe of wild animals approaches an unknown alien thing. Cows in a field, fish in the ocean flinching from a diver. Little children squealing and wide eyed behind their parents legs. You need to be the person that walks out and picks it up and watches the rest of the crowd creep in to investigate.

I don’t get to travel a lot in the way that most people do, when I go to a place it’s usually because something bad has happened there, but I have found it universally true that most people just want to tell you a story or show you a picture on their phone of the craziest thing they’ve ever seen and they don’t particularly care who you are or what your accent is. Sometimes they do, and those people suck, but those people are not the majority.

Sometimes if you let an old redneck talk he’ll tell you everything you never wanted to know about forensic accounting. Sometimes you’ll meet someone in the middle of the biggest city in the US who knows everything about show pigs. I’ve been to the smallest Kansas towns and the biggest cities in the US and I’ve found none of them were full of nothing.

Jordan Adetunji-from Belfast-is still trying to make heads of his Grammy nomination. Northern Irish hip-hop artist, he has recently been nominated for the Best Melodic Rap Performance, in the same group as music icons like Beyoncé and The Weeknd. Speaking with a deep reflection on this, Adetunji noted, "Having a song I made in my bedroom in Belfast up for a Grammy is crazy. It's great for music coming out of Belfast-it just shows you can do anything no matter where you're from.". The nomination marked a significant milestone for Adetunji, who said he found out about the news in a surreal situation. Speaking on BBC's Across The Line, he said he initially dismissed the news, thinking it was part of a fake prediction list. "I turned my phone up after being in the studio for an hour, and I was like, why are so many people ringing me? Then I realised," he added. Mixtape Madness, CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0, via Wikimedia Commons Adetunji's career, from what could be termed persistence and innovation, has been notable. Born in Croydon, London, Adetunji moved to Belfast when he was 10 years old, and he started unleashing his talent as early as 2019 by posting rap videos on social media while in school. His big break came when TikTok highlighted his music to RCA Records. Among his fans is Bring Me the Horizon's Oli Sykes, who chanced upon Adetunji's track Woke Up. The song Kehlani, which is a mix of R&B melodies and rap, has been streamed 300 million times around the globe. Adetunji attributes his success to how accessible modern technology is. "Your phone is your tool. You can do it all from your bedroom," he said. The track's success also attracted notable engagements, such as a FaceTime call from American artist Kehlani, who requested an open verse for a collaboration. "I remember that day like yesterday," Adetunji said, still amazed by the experience. Also remembering was that rapper Lil Baby was one of the very first people to reach out to him after Kehlani dropped, saying he was interested in hearing more of his work. It's taught me a lesson to keep going, no matter what the circumstances are. It has just inspired so many aspiring artists through my journey." Adetunji shared. "Always think of new ways of getting your content out there. If it's not working today, try again tomorrow. You only fail when you give up." Dr Adetunji is said to be working on his latest work, a seamless blend of several drum patterns and tunes that draw from R&B. Unreleased stuff in his shows have got good reviews, and he says, "The crowds have been taking to my music quite well. They loved the unreleased music, which was really reassuring.". Adetunji's nomination is a reminder to show that even talent and willpower can drive people to jump over barriers. "The world is so big, and there is such a way for people to discover you. Don't give up," he urged. "You can make it happen." Other Irish talent will feature at the 67th Grammy Awards, which will be held on February 2 in Los Angeles. Dublin-based post-punk band Fontaines D.C. was nominated for Best Rock Album for their fourth album, Romance, and Best Alternative Music Performance for single Starbuster. Adetunji said she is proud of the story her nominations tell: "A celebration of possibility and perseverance - that could it too be possible where they started?". Read the full article

By collaborating with Xerxes, your brand will enter this cutting-edge space and maximise its commercial potential, driving growth and engagement.

We specialise in web development services, leveraging platforms like Shopify to ensure your business thrives in this immersive digital world.

1. The Metaverse in Business: Beyond Entertainment

The metaverse has evolved into a powerful tool for businesses, offering dynamic environments for collaboration and innovation. Companies are creating virtual workspaces that go far beyond traditional video conferencing. With platforms such as Meta’s Horizon Workrooms, employees can now brainstorm, interact, and engage as if they were physically present.

At Xerxes, our web development and web design services ensure that your virtual workspace is optimised for seamless communication and collaboration. Whether you’re remote team-building or hosting interactive client meetings, we’ll help you create engaging environments that feel real.

Training and Simulation: Industries like healthcare and manufacturing use the metaverse for immersive training programs. Companies are improving their workforce's capabilities by developing simulations that allow hands-on practice in a risk-free virtual setting. Xerxes brings expertise in creating these virtual environments through custom-built websites powered by Dublin software companies.

2. Digital Twins: Real-World Impact in Virtual Spaces

The rise of digital twins is revolutionising sectors like real estate, urban planning, and manufacturing. A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical space that simulates scenarios and makes data-driven decisions. Imagine allowing your clients to walk through a development project virtually, making real-time changes before breaking ground.

Retail businesses also use digital twins to create virtual stores where customers can experience products, interact with them, and make informed purchasing decisions. Xerxes, a leader in website building sites, can design these immersive environments and commercialise them through Shopify, seamlessly integrating real-time transactions.

Retail Innovation: With web development services at the heart of the process, retailers can offer virtual shopping experiences that allow customers to "try on" products, explore custom options, and easily make purchases. Xerxes’ expertise ensures your brand’s virtual retail space is engaging and commercially successful.

3. Education Reimagined: Learning in the Metaverse

Education is undergoing a revolution in the metaverse. Virtual campuses offer students more interactive and engaging experiences than traditional online learning. Subjects that require practical, hands-on learning—like biology or engineering—are now taught in fully immersive environments.

At Xerxes, we collaborate with educational institutions to build virtual learning platforms that deliver lessons and foster creativity and innovation. Our website developers in Ireland specialise in creating virtual classrooms that allow for meaningful student interactions and deeper engagement.

4. Social Interaction and Events in the Metaverse

The metaverse is transforming social interaction. Millions now attend virtual concerts, fashion shows, and conferences, offering immersive experiences that traditional social platforms can’t match.
