Psychologist interested in community, health, & wellbeing (esp. among gay & bi men) and social justice for all. Lecturer at University of Galway. Board member for the National LGBT Federation. Views my own. He/Him.
Throwback to 2018 when one of my university colleagues posted a homophobic tweet during Pride Month but it was okay because he did so "in a personal capacity" 😂😂😂 I believe the same person is now running as a candidate for the university's governing authority... A reformed character, no doubt

More than 200 journalists have now been killed by the IDF in Gaza. And so many journalists here haven’t expressed a single sliver of solidarity or outrage about it.
Israel claimed responsibility for killing five Al Jazeera staff in Gaza, including Anas al-Sharif, in a strike on their media tent outside al-Shifa Hospital, bringing the total journalists killed to 237 since the war began. 🔴 Follow our LIVE coverage: aje.io/1490et
Israel has assassinated the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza, Netanyahu's government carried out the assassination after the team of journalists spent months reporting on Israeli war crimes, collecting daily evidence of ongoing atrocities.
Our colleagues Al Jazeera reporters Anas al-Sharif & Mohammed Qraiqeh, & cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal & Moamen Aliwa have been killed in a strike on a tent for journalists near Al Shifa hospital. They worked relentlessly through bombing & hunger to document this war. Please remember them

“This is not famine. This is weaponised hunger. The deliberate strangling of a people - not with rope, but with red tape. Not just with bombs, but with bureaucracy… The world did not merely fail Gaza. It abandoned her. And in doing so, it exposed itself.” This is extermination as the world watches.
Gaza is a mirror reflecting the world's absolute, unvarnished shame
Netanyahu was allowed to turn food into leverage and treat the relief of a besieged population as a prize to be bartered. This is not just immoral or illegal, it is obscene

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.
Ireland spends less than any other country in the EU on social welfare as a % of GDP, and less than half the EU average. Inequality is growing. And the Govnt wants to double defence spending to €3 bn a year.
"Let’s review. On one hand, we have 4,844 children and over 10,000 adults accessing homelessness services. On the other hand, we have €4,500,000,000. Now, this is a puzzle. A quandary for the ages. I’m racking my brain here and I just— Can't we just take the money and—?" This week's Surrealing:
Surrealing in the Years: At least 4,844 children homeless, and we ain't seen nothin' yet
Despite a €4.5 billion budget surplus, the worst is somehow yet to come.

Dr Chris Noone@chris-noone.bsky.social · last yr.Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Toomaj, the famous Iranian rapper and freedom fighter who has been one of the biggest targets of the Islamic regime, has posted this statement. Toomaj has been out of prison for the past few years and has sacrificed a great deal fighting for freedom.
I cannot emphasize this enough. Reach out to Your SF TD's, MLA's, councillors. They don't know about the NGS. They aren't clued in on the Cass report. The gender conference is early July. I've spoken to several and seen good results. Don't complain about the result after the fact.
Live your life with the confidence of a mediocre man and you too could be a TD saying the British Army never shot at Irish civilians or an MEP quoting Swedish House Mafia to the president of the European Commission
Ten years ago nobody in their right mind gave a single crap where trans people went to the toilet and the only reason anyone does now is because they were radicalised by Facebook and a handful of insane newspaper columnists and that’s just embarrassing all round

Do not try to fucking tell me that this is not the Nazi's again
Owen Jones@owenjones.bsky.social · last yr.You don't need to be a prophet. Images like this - of starved Palestinians hammed into fenced cages by Israel - will be remembered for generations as hideous evidence of a terrible crime. And history will remember not just those who cheered it on, but those who stayed silent.
Biological sex is not a static reality. Scholars have spent decades pointing out how assuming a sex binary is not only wrong but also unethical as it erases the lives of those who are embodied differently. Courts should not give effect to “common sense” when such sense is unethical and unscientific.
The BMA@bma.org.uk · last yr.Attendees at the #RDconf last Saturday voted on an emergency motion to show their opposition to the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman. Read the motion below 👇 BMA-wide policy is set at the Annual Representative Meeting (ARM) in June 2025.
I look forward to the day when people completely stop describing this woman as a feminist.
Wizarding News™@wizarding.news · last yr.When Harry Potter (and Cormoran Strike) author JK Rowling could have supported a pregnant woman on her own TV show, she chose not step in. The pregnant actress brought a discrimination claim against JK Rowling's production for violating her rights under the Equality Act, and won.
I sent an -admittedly angry - email in relation to the US Military use of Shannon Airport to my local representative Cathal Crowe TD and received an appalling reply. I am posting the correspondence for you all to see.
