It was only a matter of time before the knives were out for Re-Turn, a project that puts the entire burden of waste management on the consumer and gives businesses no incentive to improve their packaging.

"Caroline Savage, 73, died after increasing the dose of the Mounjaro weight-loss drug she had been taking for about four months, a coroner’s court was told yesterday." Times front page. Reminder, they banned puberty blockers for trans kids despite there being zero harm.

I will never let anyone framing transphobia as "the trans debate." go unchallenged and neither should you. The thing about debates is they start with a question, like "the trans question". Questions tend to demand solutions, usually final ones. We've seen this shit before.

Many organisations think GDPR compliance means having a privacy policy on their website and hoping they never hear from the Data Protection Commission. Alas, this is not the case.

Activist Greta Thunberg has delivered a "message of peace" at the All Together Now festival, but warned that she "cannot pretend to be hopeful". "I cannot pretend to be hopeful, when I'm too heartbroken about the state of the world, everything is falling apart." jrnl.ie/7119514

‘I can’t pretend to be hopeful’: Greta Thunberg delivers ‘message of peace’ at All Together Now

Thunberg said people need to ‘get out of our comfort zones, take action, organise, and demand action’.

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.

NI WRN v Feile is being heard in the High Court this morning fyi. I heard about that on Friday but it wasn't pubic knowledge but see that Morris has mentioned it in her piece.

Calling on the Irish government and state agencies to immediately close their X accounts. Continued use of a fascist agitator's social media site is both incompatible with democratic values and immoral.

"None of them were murdered in a public toilet either, which having looked at the online posts of WRN and their many affiliates, is apparently the most dangerous place on earth for women, with trans predators lurking in every cubicle."

"What Féile an Phobail row has shown is that women’s rights are at risk — just not from a tiny trans minority" great piece from Allison Morris in the Belfast Telegraph. Please support Allison as she will no doubt be targeted now. Archive link below. archive.ph/oQ2Cs

What Féile an Phobail row has shown is that women’s rights are at risk — just not from a tiny trans minority Belfast Telegraph27 Jul 2026ALLISON MORRIS I’ve thought long and hard about commenting on the controversy over the cancellation of the Women’s Rights Network (WRN) event at Féile an Phobail — not because I don’t have an opinion, but because it is a debate that attracts the most toxic elements. WRN NI was not a group I was familiar with beforehand, so I did some research. No speakers were listed in the Féile programme for the planned event, which in itself is odd as there are for almost every other of the 90-plus debates and discussions. The group has since announced who its speakers were to be in a series of online posts. My research took me down quite the rabbit hole — a who’s who of the anti-trans movement not just on this island but Europe-wide. I don’t pretend to understand their motivation. In fact, I remain baffled as to why in one of the most dangerous places for women to live in Europe, the group — which has spoken out about femicide before — is obsessing about a small minority instead of the actual dangers we face from domestic violence and femicide. I have worked for decades covering violence against women and girls in all the distressing forms that takes. I know the names of every woman and child murdered in Northern Ireland in the last 10 years without even having to look them up. Not a single one was caused by a trans woman — I checked the list twice just to be sure. None of them were murdered in a public toilet either, which having looked at the online posts of WRN and their many affiliates, is apparently the most dangerous place on earth for women, with trans predators lurking in every cubicle. Apart from the absurdity of much of the group’s argument regarding the perceived dangers of trans women, the claim that women are being silenced by Féile is the most disingenuous of them all.

Do I have an teachers working in Northern Ireland schools who'd be willing to chat to me about some trans stuff, totally anon and off the record if needs be. I just have some questions. Ideally from a protestant school, a catholic school and an integrated?
