Valeria O’Connor (Валерія Олександрівна О’Коннор-Вілінська, 1866-1930) was a Ukrainian nationalist writer of Irish descent and a member of the Ukrainian Rada from 1917 until 1919, when she fled to Vienna with her husband after the Red Army entered Kyiv. Her Irish born grandfather Alexander O’Connor married into Ukrainian nobility in the early 19th century. Valeria’s sister Olga was a founding figure in the Ukrainian National Opera and a friend of the Ukrainian national writer Lesya Ukrainka.

I’ve finally returned to Irish lessons after more than a decade away from the classroom. Time to decolonise… myself.

A year ago I received an email from documentary filmmaker Immy Humes, who was working on an art book for @phaidonpress called The Only Woman.

Had a great time at the Resistance Cultures Festival in Dublin! I’m pictured here with Elaine Mokhtefi, an activist and former translator for revolutionary delegations to Algeria who told me about the time she met Khrushchev.

Someone (perhaps the spirit of Gorbachev?) is drip feeding old Soviet books to my local Oxfam — and I keep buying ‘em!

An advert for Artemis, a little known 1980s lesbian magazine with an *exceptionally* strange Donegal backstory.
