#LittleHuman
I thought #LittleHuman would be stressed and anxious about starting secondary school, but instead it’s me who’s stressed and anxious. 😬

#LittleHuman (channeling existentialism): I don’t think life has a meaning. The meaning is whatever you choose it to be.
me: And what do you choose it to be?
lh: I choose biscuits!

#LittleHuman is finally back at school. That was ten long weeks! Now I need another holiday to recover from the ‘holiday’. 😰

#LittleHuman had a severe allergic reaction last week after eating some cake specially ordered from a bakery for my wife’s birthday (of all days!). The bakery made a serious error and we had to give EpiPen and take him to hospital, with several secondary reactions in the ambulance. Very scary.
Anaphylaxis needs to be taken much more seriously than it is.

Epi is great - but it’s only buying you time. Biphasic reactions can be lethal.

Also - especially if you have MCAS - make sure to learn the various ways anaphylaxis can present.

It doesn’t always involve the airway.

The increasingly inaccurately hashtagged #LittleHuman starts secondary school today. The last 12 years haven’t been without their challenges, but we’re very proud of the thoughtful and caring boy he’s grown into! 🥰

Ten years ago, the #LittleHuman used to strum my guitar and sing to himself contentedly. Today he’s playing his first gig at the #SchoolOfRock performance camp. 🎤 🤘 ☺️

Commenting on the Irish election, #LittleHuman says that old people are afraid that golf courses will be replaced by hospitals. That about sums it up! #GE24 #Ireland

The #LittleHuman graduated from primary school today. Very proud, obvs, but my head is still spinning from trying to work out how that happened!! 😳

Started reading the Moomin books from the start with #LittleHuman. Two points of note: 1. The #moomins are refugees from an environmental disaster, which is why they make their own home a sanctuary for all kinds of creatures (even mice). 2. Male and female hemulens alike wear dresses. Deal with it.

Trying to set up an old Dell laptop for use by #LittleHuman. It’s been 24 hours so far—and that’s just installing the software updates! 😭

He absolutely smashed it! 🤩 Honestly, this bunch of 10 to 13 year olds sounded way better than some professional bands I’ve heard. What a performance! 🥹 #LittleHuman #ProudDad

I’m reading Comet In Moominland with #LittleHuman, a deeply existential novel written at the end of WWII. It’s also the most revised of all the #Moomin stories, having been rewritten and re-illustrated to fit the style and characters of the later books. www.moomin.com/en/blog/come...

Wife and #LittleHuman made some Christmas biscuits. I predict that they won’t last that long! #pepperkake

Watched Spirited Away, which is just incredible, again with the #LittleHuman on New Year’s Eve. But I’d have to say Totoro is my favourite. Happy Birthday, Hayao Miyazaki! #StudioGhibli
In honor of Hayao Miyazaki's birthday, what's your favorite Studio Ghibli film? Doesn't have to be the one you think is "the best," just the one that nestled in your heart. Mine is Howl's Moving Castle.

Hello new followers (and everyone else)!

By way of introduction, I’m a philosopher at University College Dublin where I research philosophy of perception, the senses and our experience of time & space. I also post about politics, academia, tech (inc. AI), music & my (now 10-year old!) #LittleHuman.

Had the displeasure of configuring a #Windows laptop for #LittleHuman to use at school. I was shocked by the extent to which #Copilot now permeates the #Microsoft ecosystem. Even searches for answers to simple support questions run through Copilot. Such a wasteful use of technology. #Micro$lop

Have gathered with a bunch of other parents to watch our kids beat each other up. Don’t worry, it’s just a little light Taekwondo sparring! 🥋 😅 #LittleHuman
