Irish graphic designer, activist and Ireland Simpsons Fans Facebook moderator Dearbhla Ní Fhaoilleacháin Ryan (@punchedmonet_) joins me live from the bathroom stall she's self-isolating in at the Barack Obama Plaza in County Tipperary, Ireland to explain just what exactly the Barack Obama Plaza in County Tipperary, Ireland is.

We also talk about Ireland's most wanted criminal, a zipline that will kill your kids, a roller coaster that will kill your ability to have kids, the infamous Toe Post (or "Toest"), and the famous Sourtoe Cocktail.

I Like Your Shoelaces is a deep dive into all the hilarious and surreal stuff that happened during the blogging platform Tumblr's heyday. Each episode, I am joined by a guest to talk about an event or trend from Tumblr that still sticks with us to this day, as well as what they got out of their time on Tumblr and what it meant to them.

Please get in touch with me @michael_cfg on Twitter if you have any feedback or ideas for me to talk about going forward (but also follow me there). I've also made a Discord server that you are welcome to join if you have any posts or ideas to share or just want to talk about Tumblr!
