As many of you know, we've given 1% of all the money you spend with us to @womensaidireland.bsky.social for over 8 years. 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.
I've had to stop taking my antihistamines due to an upcoming allergist appointment, and that's how I learned that a withdrawal side effect for antihistamines is violent insatiable itching. Please hold while I scratch every single inch of myself to shreds.
Every video game I've played has prepared me for this, and we should make plans now to deal with the nazi zombie ghosts that are absolutely still living on these ships.

If everyone in Croke Park blows in the right direction at the same time, we might be able to get the lifted curse to settle on Conor McGregor
Finally. Now Mayo only have to deal with the one curse.
Whoever drives the Mayo team's bus home now has the opportunity to do the funniest thing in 75 years.
Won't someone put one of their babies in that cup before they lift it? I see so many cuppable babies!
Ah lads, I don't even care about this final and I'm practically emotional watching it. I do actually love sport really, days like these are cracking.
I love a generational curse as much as I love when people break a generational curse. Everyone's a winner today! (Except for Kerry, sorry you are not the winner today)
Listen I'm not gonna watch the match or anything but will someone just let me know if it's mayo for sam at the end please? 🙏
I beg all of your pardons, how did I not know they are doing Neuromancer? And William Gibson is on board?! WHAT?!

My new baby plants and I thank the universe for this rain. I've been lugging a watering can to and fro to them for a few days now...
I can't help but think that, if I were a man talking publicly about the gender pay gap, I'd be getting plaudits for my progressive views and what a good ally I am. This thought brought to you by a convo with another female friend who also gets guff for writing about this stuff.

I left and stopped watching and Spain scored. You are all welcome.
Two people tried to enter a screening of The Odyssey without buying tickets after hiding inside a miniature model of the Trojan Horse. 😂😂😂

Seeing Legally Blonde last night was joyful and curative. I love this show and have been waiting absolutely forever to see a professional production of it. This did not disappoint and if I could go again tonight I would.
I just think that sometimes it's ok to hope that someone's ACL repair surgery goes wrong and their leg falls off. As a treat.
