We roast speciality coffee very very well. We give: 1% of all our revenue to Women's Aid 1% to origin projects 1% to local projects 1% to staff = > 30% of profits Big businesses could easily run similarly. www.imbibe.ie
Seems @bsky.app deleted my post about Rod Liddle, saying it breached community guidelines, but not explaining how. You've got mail, lads - if you're thinking of going in to bat for a proven domestic abuser, misogynist and racist, you might want to think again.
Hard to look at the coffee futures market this last few months and not feel it's being massively manipulated. One day in July saw a $.50 per lb spike, one of the biggest in history. Historically, weather in Brazil has been the biggest factor. Now we can add funds and it seems AI algos to the mix.
If you're a coffee nerd type buying a 250 gram bag for over €30, please Google the coffee to make sure you're not being screwed. Have been seeing a bit of gouging going on with differences of up to 50% for the same coffee. At this point, I'd almost recommend using AI to check. Almost...
If I'd €1 for every time my 13 year olds said "Oh my God, that's so aesthetic" I'd have gathered at least €627 within the last 4 months.
Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
There’s a one-time donation button here. Thank you! www.ionadhindrajab.org

A reminder: If you absolutely cannot boycott Amazon, don’t. But can you make them NOT your default? If every Amazon customer cut their spending by just 10%, Bezos would burst his facelift sutures. This doesn’t have to be an all or nothing.

Just had a lovely woman in our shop in Donegal, searching for her lost twin sister. Appreciate it if my Irish followers would retweet this. Thank you.
I really appreciate every share on this episode - I’ve known Cindi for over a decade and this is her first time ever speaking publicly about what happened to her in Bessborough.
Deirdre O'Shaughnessy@deshocks.bsky.social · 2d agoIreland’s notorious mother and baby institutions operated until the late 1990s. Zoei Bonny was the last baby to die under the care of Bessborough, in Cork, in 1994. Her mother Cindi shared her story with me a few days ago. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/t...
We give up 4% of everything you spend with us all year round which has equated to over 30% of profits in each of the last 4 years. On Bank Holidays we give Women's Aid 10% of all you spend. It's a bank holiday and we're good at what we do so if you need coffee imbibe.ie/pages/shop #speirgorm

We are an Irish Coffee Roasting Business. We give away 4% of all we earn before we make a cent. We roast coffee very well.

Worth posting in context as it is bang on topic.
The cool thing about hills is you're not actually obliged to die on them
Ends midnight tonight.

A few years ago, we decided to increase this donation to 10% on Bank Holiday weekends. From midnight, it’s a Bank Holiday... Image made by a real life designer.
Today I shall mostly be drinking this and listening to Neko Case.
Have noticed over the years that many appearing on small independent things to promote their stuff do very little in the line of promoting that small independent thing in return.
Here’s the @foggynotions.bsky.social gig listing for August. Support independents if you can. #speirgorm
“Dublin is cosplaying as #Dublin” “Dublin planning authorities have enabled the growth of a city centre hub that performs Irishness for a living & can't house the Irish who'd do the performing.” Devastatingly accurate telling of the dismantling of the town we loved so well. #spéirghorm #IrishPol
Bob Johnston@bobjohnstonbooks.bsky.social · 3d ago"A city doesn't get hollowed out by too many visitors. It hollows out when too little of the city remains underneath them, when the thing they queued to see has been quietly sold off around them while they queued." Great piece on #Dublin by Conor McGuire in Western People.
Today I shall mostly be drinking this and listening to Neutral Milk Hotel.
Now make this continent-wide, @ec.europa.eu I'd say call your TD, but we all know they're not going to do zip to upset the techbros
Sven-Erik Volberg@volberg.bsky.social · 4d agoGermany to ban Meta’s Pervert Glasses? Hamburg’s Data Protection Office warns that recording people in public with smart glasses violates privacy laws.

While back a business owner said online that we give away what we do for tax breaks. Annoyed me as doing a 1 minute Google search would show that’s not how tax works. That said, in world today, can see why many might struggle to believe any business is trying to good things simply for good reasons.

I've issues with media personalities with more than enough cash promoting gambling companies who are a scourge on many lives. Particularly shit when it's someone who brought you joy and seemed decent. Cantona is the big one for me. Had problems with Meaney since time he did ads for Bank of Scotland.
Thundering Langer. Always was. Desperate for attention.
Cian Ginty@cianginty.bsky.social · 6d agoFrom his cycling hatemongering, I always knew George Hook was a gobshite but ranting about standing at a bus stop and seeing people who "don't look like you" is maybe a low from him. I say maybe as it's been a while since he was presenting on any mainstream show and god knows what he's been saying.

Just in one of my favourite restaurants. It’s a little noodle/dumpling place that’s pretty inexpensive. Guy beside me was asking about menu and then asked if he could taste two dishes before ordering them. This is why I could never own a cafe. Would spend way too much time asking people to leave.
