Watching #ComeToYourCensus on RTÉ after just going through one of my own family's records, and getting a bit emotional 🥺 #spéirgorm

British army soldiers ‘overreacted’ and lost control’, inquest into shooting dead of five people in Belfast finds. A priest, three teenagers and a man in his 30s were murdered by British soldiers in the Springhill and Westrock areas of west Belfast in July 1972 www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/co...

Today marks 110 years since the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic. This copy of the 1916 Proclamation, owned by Dr. Kathleen Lynn, features the names of eleven of the women imprisoned in Mountjoy Gaol after the Rising, signed on 19 May 1916: doi.org/10.7486/DRI....

I was there for the rise of the internet and smart phones, and they absolutely sold themselves. People took one look and got excited. There was no point, years into the smart phone, where companies were having to be like "you may not like the iPhone but it's here to stay so get used to it"

Press photo of Countess Constance Markievicz on her return to Dublin after her 1919 release from prison. Welcomed by supporters + presented with a bouquet in Sinn Féin colours. While imprisoned, she became the 1st woman elected to the British Parliament, but refused to take her seat at Westminster.

So excited to get stuck into #census1926 😍 But it's gonna have to wait till Monday, because I only have my phone till then, and this is a laptop activity 😅

8 years ago, I told a story which changed my life forever. Shortly after, an old pal from college asked if he could turn it into a film. So I am DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE that 'Me, Myself & Mary' is not only finished, but has been chosen to lead the Tribeca Festival's animated shorts roster this year.

I like to be able to choose what I want to myself and then pay for it precisely once.

Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either: a. Incompetent b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't c. a & b

Absolutely unforgivable, these pricks attacking the Muslim Sisters of Éire.

I really do believe this is true. I'm sure that not everybody who turned up to protest has fascist leanings, but if you pulled your truck up next to one that said "Ireland for the Irish" and you don't leave, are you better than the owner of that truck?

They're blocking fucking medicine?? #spéirghorm #spéirgorm

Here are some publicly available posts from one of the key organisers, James Geoghegan.

Protestors deciding what gets in and out of ports fuel for emergency services, animal feed and water treatment chemicals, is so wild and dangerous. Only bird brains would back this now

If we had a fraction of the billionaire-owned social media and funding of the right this whole thing could be co-opted into the most effective climate change protest ever. THIS IS THE TOXIC DYSFUNCTION OF FOSSIL FUELS MAKING EVERYTHING AWFUL AND THESE PEOPLE ONLY WANT TO MAKE IT WORSE. #spéirghorm

Dublin City Council has approved a monument to be placed on O'Connell Street to honour Irish women of the revolutionary period. The monument will be erected between the Spire and the James Larkin statue, in front of the GPO. #spéirghorm excellent news www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Don’t make me tap the sign. Its support trans people or Harry Potter can’t have both

"UN experts: “the targeted destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system” by Israel “amounts to ‘medicide’” and accused Israel of “deliberately attacking and starving healthcare workers, paramedics and hospitals to wipe out medical care in the besieged enclave” www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Ice flight stopped at Shannon on Patrick’s Day while deporting Ukrainians So we are facilitating deportations by the brutish, murderous ICE-here deporting Ukrainians back to war zone. On top of the delivery of the bowl of shamrock this is just shameful #spéirghorm www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

The government knew exactly what would happen. They did it anyway. #HousingCrisisByDesign #SpéirGorm

Israeli police kill two young Palestinian boys and their parents in West Bank

Israel is killing medics and children today. They do this every single day.

Love the way any progressive measure is publicly nickle and dimed while wild discretionary overspending (bike shed anyone) has to be FOI'd.

PLEASE

*taps sign* #SpéirGhorm

We need just 569 more Irish people to sign this official EU citizen initiative to pass our threshold. If you truly support #JusticeForPalestine and you haven't signed, why not? 🇵🇸🙏 #SpeirGorm #SpeirGhorm #IrishSky #Ireland

I'm...just having a lot of feelings about this week's #StarfleetAcademy 🥹🥹 This show has been so good so far anyway, and I really do want Star Trek to move away from leaning so hard on nostalgia, but this was really very good. Also, protect Sam at all costs. 🥹

remember when everything was possibly cake and we were driven mad by the possibility that everything was cake? don't you wish everything was possibly cake now instead of probably ai? we were such fools to squander a cake-based reality.

lol

C'mon folks, only 721 people to go and we've passed the Irish threshold. If you haven't signed this already, why not? It's an important EU citizen led initiative that needs 7 countries to pass their threshold, and then the EU government machine is forced to talk about it. #Speirgorm #IrishSky

Come on Ireland, sign! For these ECIs to work and be considered by the European Commission, 7 EU member states must meet their threshold, for Ireland that's 10,080. We are now at 8,951, 88 8%. No more EU-Israel Agreement for the apartheid state. #SanctionsNow eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/#...

Today, Israeli airstrikes killed 27 Palestinians in Gaza. The genocide never ended — and we will never stop campaigning until there is a free and independent Palestine.

If you are somehow, beyond all reason, still on Twitter, you are financially supporting violating women and also financially supporting child pornography. How are you financially supporting it? Your posts are sitting next advertising. That’s it! Don’t even need to subscribe!

So #StarfleetAcademy came out swinging, the first two eps are great! 💜 Already enjoying a lot of the characters, and the post-Burn rebuilding feels real and... relevant. 🥲 Looking forward to next week 🖖 #StarTrek

I'm subscribed to @esa.int email updates, agus uaireanta, bíonn siad as Gaeilge. I just think it's neat. 🥹☘️🖖 #SpéirGorm

Update on this from the Complex CEO/Artistic Director, Vanessa Fielding.

A misperception about the number of people immigrating to Ireland and their reasons for doing so is linked to negative attitudes towards immigration, according to a new report published today jrnl.ie/6926698

NCT website cloned in online scam targeting motorists

As of June 2025, there are 89 data centres in Ireland, all of which have been mapped by The Journal Investigates here: investigates.thejournal.ie/data-centres

Despite a ceasefire that began on October 10, the Israeli army continues daily attacks on the enclave.

In 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...

"But my people/fandom/special interest group are on X" If your people are hanging out among the Nazis and the CSAM then fuck your people

I will reiterate that I've never had cause to regret abandoning the former Twitter more than two years ago now, and have suffered neither personally nor professionally for doing so. Since I left it's become more toxic and, yes, evil. The people who are still there should really consider moving on.

Folks, @womensaidireland.bsky.social have closed their X account on principle. Follow them here, give them some real engagement to acknowledge both the rightness of that decision, but also of letting go of high follower numbers (even if the algorithm meant that no longer signified actual reach).

Is he saying we just give up and don't try and regulate technology that is literally designed to create nudes of children? In what other sphere of life does the Minister think there's no point trying to prevent criminal acts??

It is ABSOLUTELY the app making the images. But even if it wasn't, the fact that it's actively facilitating their distribution is also horrific and illegal. Wtf is Patrick O'Donovan playing at here?? How is someone with this little understanding of technology in this position? #SpéirGorm

If you have time to doom scroll, you have time to read books!

This is DELIGHTFUL 💜💜🖖 (...it is a blue carpet though 😆) #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy
