The purpose of feminism is to liberate women, not define them. Cis. She/her.🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?
Rip to the young lad who lost his life in Donegal today. How this rally is allowed to happen is beyond me, in the very county with the highest road fatalities. It's outrageous. Passing all the suped up boy racers speeding towards Donegal today I was just glad I wasn't heading in the same direction.
and if you want to know WHO those 78 NO votes were (i.e. voted to ALLOW the USE OF COUNSELLING NOTES in SEX CRIMES prosecutions) you can see the full list here www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/v... #Speirgorm #TD #GAA #WomensRights #GBV

The Dáil has voted 78 to 68 to defeat a bid from opposition parties to prevent the use of counselling notes in sexual assault prosecutions. Justice minister Jim O’Callaghan said his legal advice was that counsellors’ notes should be available, and that they can be of value in securing a prosecution.
A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines
My fav thing during hot days in Ireland is seeing big burly builders eating ice cream cones while driving. Pure. 🤩
Yves Sakila reaching out his hand while being pinned down and knelt on, will be an image I won't forget. A man, helpless reaching for someone to help him. Devastating.
People saying that users prefer the bubble of BlueSky to the feral viciousness of Twitter - well...yes. In the same way I prefer a restaurant where the staff are nice and the food is good over one where they stab you with forks while serving bowls of cold piss.
Shitty to see Gogglebox showing the eurovision not to mention Mary and her anti irish tirade. Used to like her until that. We're not that Ireland Mary, we haven't been in a long long time.
Irish Equity are deeply saddened and shocked at the sad news of the sudden passing of our colleague, Gary Lydon. Gary was a much-loved member of our community, with a career that began with his professional debut in Billy Roche’s ‘A Handful of Stars’ at the Bush Theatre in London in 1988. 🧵 1/7...
Sad to see yet another vehicle donated to a disability service plastered with name of the service and donating organisation on the outside. Why do disabled people have to be publicly identified as recipients of charity when going about our daily lives? Why do donors ask and service providers allow?
If you watched Malcolm in the Middle as a kid, and now you're a parent, I highly recommend a rewatch because it is genuinely ten times funnier. I'm not wrong.
So the "save women's sport" crowd have landed on my niece's teams doorstep in Dublin.... .they wrre to play their semi final (11 year olds) today and the parents of the opposing team started accusing two of the girls of being boys, cos they have short hair. Absolute raging pricks.
Ireland is complicit in genocide as long as the US military uses Shannon airport. 91yo Lelia Doolan - veteran peace activist, film-maker and firebrand - is leading a 16-day march from Shannon to Leinster House. You can join her at any point for any distance. www.instagram.com/walkwithleli...
Under the terms of the ceasefire, if an American oil tanker wants to transit the Strait of Hormuz, it must pay $2 million. In Chinese yuan. To Iran. The United States has crossed the event horizon of political humiliation.
I absolutely loathe these people. Not just cos they’re infiltrated by the far-right and conspiracy theorists, but also because they only ever show up for their own narrow self-interest. When have they ever shown solidarity with literally any group in society other than themselves?

Logging on to say, although our experience pales into insignificance to that experienced by the Sherratt family, our experience of six years on the CHI train has been nothing short of absolutely frustrating to downright negligent. I get angry evwn thinking about it. www.thejournal.ie/harris-scoli...
Tánaiste says families will be asked for input on child spinal inquiry as he accepts he broke 2017 promise
Simon Harris today said he accepts ‘political accountability’ for a 2017 commitment that no child would have to wait more than four months for scoliosis treatment.

God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was “have horrible opinions”. The man co-founded an organization that’s sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasn’t even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.
How have we gotten to the stage when the likes of steen is seen as a viable representative for our country? It’s beyond sickening

Why isn't there a word for when the sky is super grey and the sea goes super blue?
"Costa del...." insert local Irish town/beach name for gas craic.
Just remembered seeing this video captioned “that’s baby yoda”
If anyone is looking for the public order unit they're all queuing for a cheeky ice cream in Skerries.😅
