In exciting news, I now am unable to tell the difference between hunger and anxiety because they both present as nausea. In less exciting news, it took me about three weeks to figure out that snacking is easier than suicide.
Me & @judesherry.bsky.social have been researching the Irish housing crisis since we returned in 2018 This piece in todays The Journal is by far the most shocking Realising how badly we treat the most vulnerable should put a chill down the spine of every reader www.thejournal.ie/the-housing-...
Do we care where people with disabilities live?
Being disabled and homeless has long been normalised in Ireland, it is just largely hidden from us.

94-year-old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen OBE, arrested under the Terrorism Act outside @labouruk.bsky.social conference. Her crime? Holding a piece of cardboard with the words “I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action” on it. She was among hundreds doing the same.
Spent today with @Tupp_ed ❤️ In the morning, we stampy stamped on lots of papers. In the afternoon, we hole punched confetti for barristers. It would appear that much of being a solicitor is basically just high stakes arts and crafts.

The Ed Sheeran thing is of ZERO surprise to me because Ed Sheeran is a watch bro and if r/watches has taught me anything it's that those guys are the woooooooooooooooooooorst.
A man came today and planed the bottom of the kitchen door that has been sticking and unable to open fully since at least 2007 but more likely 1937. It's genuinely very exciting!
Can I go to physiotherapy having not washed my hair in nine days. (Just say yes.)
The GAA leadership has made a serious mess of integration - talk about self inflicted bad publicity! They just want to keep all the money, glory and jobs for the boys.
Senator Alice Mary Higgins asked the CnaM Chairman why his organisation didn’t take action under the Irish Online Safety Code against Grok generating CSAM. Apparently, it didn’t appear to them to be a breach of the code. What , then, is it good for?
Obviously, the increase was greater in states with abortion bans. Still, the end of Roe has emboldened extremists docs everywhere. Last year, I spoke to a young woman left with no fallopian tubes after an anti-abortion refused her treatment for her ectopic pregnancy...in Illinois.

I vote we take the €13 million in state funding the government gives directly to GAA and reallocate it to refugees and asylum seekers. (Imagine how IRREDEEMABLY hopeless you have to be for Mary McAleese of ALL people to give up on you.)
FF and FG have appointed Ministers for the Gaeltacht who can't speak Irish. Think they need reminding of that fact.

1/2 So 5 or 6 years ago I opened the cupboard under the stairs and discovered that mice had shredded the Christmas paper to make cozy bedding. I promptly slammed the door and decided that whatever happened in the cupboard under the stairs was absolutely none of my business. Like a mouse Narnia.
Simon McGarr@tupped.bsky.social · 10mo agoIn Dublin, on Fenian Street, there's a factory that makes child sex abuse material. You can pay it money, as a subscription, and that's one of the services it offers. This doesn't happen by mistake or because you've tricked or hacked the system. It’s a feature. www.thegist.ie/the-gist-the...
Mitch McConnell is so dead he wrote five new novels with James Patterson and three with V. C. Andrews.
Status report, "Could This Be True?" dep't: After #KatieTaylor 's (boxing) win at Croke Park tonight, my driver mentioned that he was uncomfortable w/women's boxing. And this fell out of my face, a bit to my surprise: "It's because in Western tradition, only *men* are allowed to hit women."

I don't know why people complain that there is no parking in Dublin. There is SO MUCH PARKING in Dublin. It just costs a bazillion euros. But that is an entirely *different* problem.
Someone tried to enter me in exhaustion Olympics yesterday by telling me I didn't know what tired was unless I had kids. Babes. I take prescribed stimulants to stay awake long enough to CONSUME ENOUGH CALORIES TO BE ALIVE do you really want to compete in this event with me.
I just got a spam call from a UK number with an American robo voice saying "This is Garda." That's not even TRYING.
