I’m never quite sure if the title of this blog refers to Russell’s Tea Cosy, or my hand-knitted tea cosy which, thus far, continues to exist solely in potentia.
Eternally fascinated by bathroom stall graffiti, intermittently looking forward to the post-menopausal possibility of growing a fine and lustrous beard of Darwinian proportions. Fond of tea. Will default to video games and social theory if left to my own devices, but is quite happy to be paid for either.
Lovely, if a little cranky. Honest.
I’m Aoife, and it’s nice to meet you.
If you need to get in touch and the comments don’t suit, I can be found at considertheteacosy at gmail dot com.
We’re bemusedly and disenchantedly meandering through our quarter-life crises, too! But I think you knew that, already.
I had one of those, and I’m past the half-life now and it’s still going on.
Darnit. I was hoping it would pass sometime soon, as opposed to seamlessly turning into a half-life and continuing on and on and on…
Hallo, Aoife. I’m Edie. Likewise, I’m sure. Should you ever wander to California, gimme a holler. I’ll show you ’round Yosemite.

Maybe the tea cosy could refer to Billy Connolly’s philosophy that one should never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn’t try it on?
Aoife! I don’t know how to contact you, but I came here from Natalie Reed’s blog and hope you can see my email address to this post. Contact me! Sinead

Ah, thank you! That is lovely of you
Thanks for sharing your blog & the problems you had on the train. I know exactly what you must have felt like.
The world isn’t built for us & people fail to see or consider us.
Keep smiling and don’t let the system win. I’ve shared your blog & you may get a few more comments.

Hi Aoife, I just read your responce to the GCN article & was delighted (if still angry over the original GCN post) & I just want to express my delight over the fact someone in Ireland is writing on these issues. Maybe I’m just ill informed over how much queer issues are actually covered here but I find it’s a little crap when it is to be honest, sure when was the last time you heard queer said on Irish TV without it being a slur or meant as a synonym for wierd. Anyway, apologies for the ramble.
So I’ll leave it at thanks. So thanks.

Hi there,
As a fellow feminist and one of your followers, I implore you to help me protest a horribly sexist tv show:
