Dublin, Ireland. Proper left-wing. Trans rights are human rights. He/him. You might call me Woke but that says more about you. Depressive. Always angry about something. I hate the world. Don't follow me for a good time. I have muted the word UNALIVE.
ed sheeran is a coward, he chose the pro genocide side. this is solidarity. for justice to prevail, we must always speak truth to power no matter the cost.
FINNEAS has withdrawn from Ed Sheeran’s tour in solidarity with Palestine and Macklemore: “Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed. I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates with Ed Sheeran. I stand with Palestine and its people.”
This is solidarity! Well done to these principled artists, and yet again our Irish creatives making us proud. Artists of conscience stand with Palestine, always. #FreePalestine
Good on them - fuck Ed Sheeran, the overrated wanker! #FreePalestine
At least three supporting acts quit Ed Sheeran's tour after Macklemore is dropped over pro-Palestinian comments onstage.
I feel like in any other decade, this would have been a career-ending scandal making international headlines Just flat-out admitting that no amount of public support can influence what policies are made
The former Special Assistant to President Joe Biden decided to throw a temper tantrum on Twitter, but I do think it is actually really good to have Biden alumna say this out loud.

American singer and songwriter Woody Guthrie, who wrote “This Land is Your Land.” The words on his guitar are testament to why the Nazis stifled art—and why Donald Trump tries to silence comics. The arts are not just entertainment when they challenge those in power.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social Hi Zack, with the subject in the news lately I thought I'd ask: how do you feel about Irish reunification? (Note, I'm not a journalist, just interested!) Good luck in the election BTW!
I wish I could say that this was unbelievable...
No, this is not a joke. UK Lawyers for Israel are trying to proscribe *Médecins Sans Frontières*. That’d mean they’d be treated as terrorists. On the same legal footing as ISIS. Membership would mean 14 years in prison. This is what we’re dealing with
Lousy performance from Liverpool today - sluggish and sloppy. Must improve.
Obscene. "Money doesn't talk, it swears."

Jesus Christ, there’s so much to unpack in there, I don’t know where to start. What the fuck is wrong with these famous, rich dipshits?
So this is where the Proclaimers are at now
Ed Miliband’s statement on Israel is only a first step. We need to go further: a full ban on goods, services & investment. Labour is still shamefully refusing to recognise the Gaza genocide. We must have a full arms embargo, full sanctions & an end to military collaboration.
British diplomats are briefing that sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements are "largely symbolic". Britain has £6bn worth of annual trade with Israel. The sanctions are a tiny proportion. It's a state committing genocide which needs to be hit with direct sweeping sanctions
Thank God that these dangerous criminals were apprehended - lock them up and throw away the key, by Jove!
Man plotted to spray 'Palestine' over 'giant heart' at Boris Johnson's wedding party, court hears
If a candidate wants to step on the rights of minority groups and their policies only benefit the richest? Consign them to the trash heap of history. A candidate equivocates over rights for trans people or immigrants? Never will get my vote.
My mother is a terrible fucking patient, which is made worse by her having an increasing amount of health issues. And I'm the one who has to put up with it!
What the hell is this AI garbage, @bsky.app? Ipswich lost to Liverpool yesterday, and it was hardly a thrashing at LFC 2-0 IPS. Newcastle are losing 1-2 to Bournemouth as I write this. Just AI slop garbage ruining everything. Nothing to see here.
Chris Sutton, how exactly was Alexander Isak's poor season last year "self-inflicted"? Did he choose to be frozen out of training and pre-season by his former club? Did he choose to break his leg? For fuck sake!
I finally watched IS GOD IS last night and I’m still thinking about it today. What an incredible feature film debut from Aleshea Harris. #filmsky
I'm not in favour of the death penalty but my gut says that this lot should be burned.

"but if you boycott the transphobia tv show, what about all the actors and writers and visual effect artists and grips and craft services and interns whose livelihood depends on that transphobia?" excellent question. the answer is I do not care. I do not care if any of them live or die. thank you.
All that crap about Keir Starmer being about public service He wanted power for its own sake. That's it. He was only interested in climbing the ladder of power. The ladder collapsed under the weight of his own cynicism, so now he's off to try and find another ladder.
