Just an Irish lady. Fan of #puns, #baking, #music when not distracted by #TransHealthcare. Or rather its non-existence. A she/it friend of Blåhaj

One thing I'm happy I've kept with my transition is being willing to continue using my full vocal range. I ended up covering In Circles last night an octave down from where I'd usually do it, and it produced an interpretation of the song that jived perfectly with how I was feeling.

I managed to see all 29 bands at the Siege of Limerick, from full sets to a few minutes depending on how much I vibed with the band and scheduling. The new to me bands I liked most were: - Soothsayer - Devilsome - A-Tota-So - Strangle Wire - RPC - Briganta #metal #siegeOfLimerick
JesALady@jesalady.bsky.social · 3w agoI've found music by all 29 bands playing the Siege of Limerick this year. The ones I'm most looking forward to are Slaughter the Giant, Soothsayer, Dead Memories and Devilsome. I don't think I still have the t-shirt from the last time I was there 15 years ago.

Not only is mayonnaise an instrument, but it is a versatile one allowing for playing with drum sticks or a bow. Why not mess around with loops a little on the long weekend?
Enbee (they/them) was disappointed that the government opposed recognising them, and intersex people, today in the Dáil.

some people are amazed that trans lesbians can be so good at comedy, but it's not that weird when you consider we're all very accomplished at being straight men
It's not just trans representative groups that are resigning from the trans healthcare group over the draft trans model of care. Now a pharmacist representative has just resigned.

The gig promoter improvising a smoke machine with his vape is definitely a thing.
This is written to fly under the radar, from today’s Sunday Independent (Ireland). The press council upheld a complaint about an offensive and transphobic opinion column by Brenda Power. Sindo was required to publish the decision. @mams4transrights.bsky.social @jesalady.bsky.social
![A half page article from the Sunday independent with the headline OMB2590 A woman and the Sunday independent.
The article outlines the complaint, the appeal and the decision.
The complaint relates to an opinion column deploring the fact that an unnamed td provided a character reference for a man convicted of sexual violence against children. A sentence in the column argued that this case threw light on the possibility that a man would “identify as a woman” in order to commit sexual violence.
The press council concluded that “a reference to a protected group [trans people] in this context should have been extremely carefully scrutinised”. It found that the Sunday independent was in violation of principle 8 of the press council code of practice.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:n2qmeigsng3rhkgmqihius4g/bafkreia7cdisf6qfj6fetyejhbmojfdwomrxs6pib6za3zu377t6pfypry)

Last night for Culture Night I did an acoustic cover of Millionaire Cannibal by Survival Horror. Who incidentally have a gig on Friday October 2nd in Fibbers in Dublin, if you want to hear how this song is meant to go.
