Since when are we a country that gets wildfires?
The Journal@thejournal.ie · 2d agoA wildfire around Glencullen in the Dublin mountains has “died down considerably” after reigiting yesterday. Fire crews withdrew just after midnight but at one point, there were four fire engines, a water tanker, and a wildfire jeep at the scene. jrnl.ie/7120651
Here's the list of anti rights groups in the UK as documented by Amnesty International.
Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

“Having considered the legal advice we concluded reaching a negotiated agreement was the appropriate course of action” This is PR speak for: “Our lawyers told us we were about to get our shit wrecked if we took this any further and this is how we avoid paying for the other side’s legal costs.” 1/
Aidan Comerford@aidancomerford.bsky.social · 7d ago"As proceedings developed, further issues of law and associated risks became clear..." Somehow, they and their legal team were convinced they were about to lose so badly in court that they completely dropped their challenge and even gave up the right to protest Féile. 1/

"All this trans stuff is annoying I wish we could just focus on basketball" yeah imagine how fucking annoying it is for trans people
Scotland's beavers are back! 🦫 Scottish Greens introduced funding for reintroducing beavers to Scotland's countryside; now we are seeing these incredible animals restore rivers, reduce flooding, and rebuild ecosystems.
“Fuck you, make me” is the mantra of the 2020’s.
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · last wk.The Missouri AG threatened Daniel Boone Regional Library in Columbia with total defunding and investigations if they read books with LGBTQ+ themes to kids in a Pride story hour. They did so anyway. Our latest story from s. Baum of one library's defiance against an oppressive Republican regime.
It’s crazy how few people talk about that time he got into a relationship with someone he met when she was 13 and he was 31.
Gray Writes!@clickgate.bsky.social · last wk.Apparently, the fatal incident happened just outside a local dog groomer’s Google “Glen Hansard groomer” to find out more!
"I think the problem for Andy Burnham, and where I plan to step up, is that his solutions aren't going to fix things. For instance If we brought in rent controls, we could save the average UK household up to £2,400 a year and the government £2 billion a year." Zack Polanski on BBC Newsnight.
The amount of cis white gay men who have suddenly become outright fascists needs to be studied. The fuck do you mean “I prefer an imperfect democracy” - Google Ernst Rohm and get back to me.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · last wk.“boy george admits he used AI to create his new pro-israel song” is now a sentence we can say
its about time they put an irish girl on the cover of the swimsuit issue. reskeet if you agree ✨☺💕
This has to be the most brutal ratio I’ve ever seen. Maybe this went down really well on Twitter where you see nothing but blue checkmarks on openly fake accounts but this is the real centre of mass of public opinion.

The news makes me think about this scene every single day.
Elon musk was briefly the world’s only trillionaire and he still isn’t happy, because he lives in terror of the day that the working class realise who he is and put his back to the wall. That’s why he constantly has to do this.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 2w agoThis MF is responsible for more deaths than there are trans people in the United States. He's putting up Hitler numbers. So maybe he should shut up before spouting lies like this.
"Trans people aren't under attack in America, you're overreacting and hysterical"
Why is it that every supposedly left-wing party instantly goes right wing the minute they get into power these days?
Cwiar Cymru@cwiar.org · 3w agoWe are deeply disappointed to hear that Plaid Cymru have met with TERF groups today. Plaid's manifesto was explicity positive for queer communities In Wales, and we expect them to adhere to the promises they made - Labour has shown that the electorate does not forget broken promises.
I have to wonder what someone who was liberated from a concentration camp would think of this comparison.
Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE@leftistlawyer.com · 3w agoYes, Israel is bombing Palestine essentially ceaselessly, but have you considered that using words to condemn that is just as bad? (/s)
Labour MP’s should not be allowed to touch this flag. They’ll get blood stains all over it.
Yuan Yang@yuanfenyang.bsky.social · 3w agoAt a time when LGBT rights seem to be under threat across the world, Pride is more important than ever. A huge thanks to the Wokingham Pride team for inviting me to speak at Elms Field over the weekend.
To honor the untimely passing of the late Alex Jones, who popped like a balloon in his car, we are petitioning to rename his hometown of Austin, Texas to Jonestown in his honor. #MakeAustinJonestownAgain #MAJA #AlexJonesIsAClone #Whataburger
Imagine putting that in your bio though
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 3w agoReally crazy to learn that JK Rowling once worked at Amnesty International as a bilingual researcher but she was fired because she was too busy writing books during work hours instead of documenting war crimes in French speaking Africa.
If I die and the only people who speak ill of me are the liberals, Zionists and transphobes I will have absolutely no problem with those people speaking ill of me. Know me by my enemies.
Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE@leftistlawyer.com · 4w ago"Would you want people speaking ill of you when you die?" 1. I'll be dead. I won't care. 2. I'm not a self-hating monster who devoted my life to harming as many members of my own community as possible.
If a British citizen left the country and joined the Russian army, they would correctly be tracked and possibly be intercepted coming back in to the country, depending what they did. I agree there’s a double standard. Also she keeps saying “wait for a court case” but Netanyahu is, as we speak, 1
Saul Staniforth@saulstaniforth.bsky.social · 4w agoWell done to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for making it clear we should be tracking British citizens who have served in the IDF & engaged in genocide. He also rightly calls out the double standards when it comes to condemning Russian war crimes but not Israeli war crimes.
