Do we really need to crop out the ugly stuff to make our vacation pics look fire? Does embracing the raw city make us better travelers ... or just a bunch of gawkers playing it safe?

How do we navigate the space between the curated tourism experience and the raw concrete of the world beneath it?

We look into our habit of cropping out infrastructure and ask whether reading the raw city makes us better travelers or something worse.

‘Bloomsday’ has become an annual celebration of a book in Dublin and around the world.

James Joyce’s seminal novel “Ulysses” describes the events of 16 June 1904 in Dublin through protagonist Leopold Bloom.

A century later they form the basis for the Bloomsday Festival.

Happy #Bloomsday! I've spent many a June 16 sharing my novel that spins out of the story og
Joyce's daughter, Lucia. A literary mystery Kirkus called "A richly textured and deeply felt tale of life and tragedy turned into art."

Let It Bloom

A relative of Irish descent reminded me that today is Bloomsday, or a day to celebrate the life and work of James Joyce. 

What is Bloomsday? – Bloomsday Festival

Bloomsday celebrates Thursday, 16th June 1904 — the day immortalised in James Joyce’s novel Ulysses. The day is named after Leopold Bloom, one of the novel’s protagonists. The novel follows Bloom’s life and thoughts (as well as those of Stephen Dedalus and a host of other characters, real and fictional) from early in the morning to the twilight hours of the following day.

It may also be helpful for other writers to know that even Joyce worried about his work being forgotten.

No chance of that today!

Putting algae in the reflecting pool is an unusual way of celebrating #BloomsDay... Geddit?

Welp. We’re in a pubbish beer joint celebrating #Bloomsday. #bloomsday2026

@oya3un oh, I know. I grew up in an Episcopal (= American Anglican) household so Lewis was fairly present in my youth. I was only thinking of the idea that he had that Moore in his own way shared, that we ultimately make our own hells through our actions or our inactions. (Second edit: given that Moore doesn't accept free will I am misusing "make" but I still think there's a parallel) but no way are they connected otherwise.

Unrelatedly, I also learned from Jerusalem that I will never never actually tackle Finnegan's Wake. 40 pages of that style from Moore convinced me of that (if I actually have needed convincing).

Also, I didn't think about how I finished the book on #bloomsday. Synchronicity, or not. Or it always happened this way.

Pel #Bloomsday, us oferim en exclusiva la primera pàgina mecanoscrita de la traducció de l'Ulisses de James Joyce a càrrec de Joaquim Mallafrè, iniciada l'any 1972. Un document històric. https://stroligut.cat/james-joyce/ulisses/

I have to admit, though I wanted mightily to conquer #Ulysses, I remain defeated. I’ve drowned at least 4 times in its pages. Maybe it will give me some solace, and redemption, in purgatory. #Bloomsday #Joyce #Dublin #Mastodaoine RTÉ News: Celebrations taking place across Dublin for Bloomsday https://www.rte.ie/news/regional/2026/0616/1578601-bloomsday-celebrations-dublin/

RE: https://beige.party/@quadrivial/116760193748622979

What a surprisingly pleasant way to celebrate #Bloomsday - reading #Northampton's #Joyce! But of that other Irish, the anglican reactionary, we shall speak no more... It's not just #Moore who'd cringe at the thought.

English majors and such, Allons y!

It's #Bloomsday, which is observed around here with some combination of peregrinations, readings, and drinkings.

Happy #Bloomsday everyone! Pack a good cheese sandwich for walks!
