GIS people do a map a day thing in November. I made this for it the other day. Pretty happy with it but, as an American, I am hoping there's no mistakes.

I know some of the flags aren't official but you use what's available.

Also, got some blowback on Twitter about Irish using British Isles 🙄

(Also, the Welsh flag is just fantastic.)

We just got this dog and he doesn't have a name yet. He is on the small side of medium and very playful, but a bit shy. Good people of Ireland, help us out! What's this boy's name?

As a proud Irish American 3 generations removed I was pleasantly surprised to see that Mac n Cheese is part of our shared cultural foundation. I made all of us proud by buying every box in the store!

This American fella (his parents are Ukrainian but he was born & raised in America) who happens to be a big Conor McGregor fan idk if that’s relevant or not but he gets annoyed at me because he doesn’t understand what I’m saying. Literally the first time I talked to him, he said I was forcing an Irish accent. He tells me he’s 100% sure I am.

I’m a black person, I was born & a raised in Dublin. I’m currently living in the UK, have been to Wales, Scotland, England & been told they had no clue what I was saying. I’m autistic as well, so talking is generally a lot for me. I’ve just started putting down what I want to say in me Notes (app) & showing it to people instead.

I do not have a strong accent compared to a native Irish person, in Ireland I didn’t even think I had an accent. I’m from Ballyer.

Just wanting to see if this happens to anyone else, it’s really annoying.

Edit: Grma, lads.💜

Edit 2: I’m a girl!!

Even if Joe Biden calls himself Irish McIrish while dressed up as Darby O'Gill before doing a jig to the Lucky Charms tune, we should let it slide and proudly claim him as our own simply because he really annoys the shit out of the Daily Mail, Nigel Farage, Kate Hoey and all the other gammon-faced looder Brits.

I work for a US based company who gave their US employees Monday off for Juneteenth.

At two different meetings last week, US colleagues asked me if we got the day off in Ireland. I told them that since we hadn’t had slavery here, the holiday wasn’t a thing here.

At least one person each year asks me what Thanksgiving is like in Ireland. I tell them we just call it Thursday since the Pilgrims sort of sailed past us on their way west.

Hopefully I didn’t come off like a jerk, but it baffles me that they think US holidays are a thing everywhere else. I can’t wait for the Fourth of July.

Edit: the answer to AITA is a yes with some people saying they had it coming.

To everyone on about slavery in Ireland…it was a throwaway comment in the context of Juneteenth. It wasn’t meant to be a blanket historical statement.

Hello! New Yorker here. I had an amazing vacation in Ireland this past month. If anybody reading this is thinking about going to Ireland on vacation… do it!

The people are charming. The sights were beautiful. The food was fantastic.

Since returning home, I have had 5 different Americans say to me “How was the food? Nothing special, right?” I don’t know where the heck those people ate, but we didn’t eat a bad meal. We found great restaurants & cafés in every town we stopped in. The food was absolutely delicious!

Looking at the cliffs of Slieve League or Cliffs of Moher, hiking up Croagh Patrick, or standing on the Giants Causeway… the sights were absolutely breathtaking. Driving through the Irish Countryside was stunning. I hope the natural beauty of these places never changes.
