Shane O’Farrell’s mother says Heather Humphreys “not capable of being the president” The mother of Shane O’Farrell -- whose killing by a driver was subject to a State's apology -- has told The Irish Times that Heather Humphreys is not fit to be the President of Ireland because she was unable to…

If you know Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) hits you every year, prevention matters. Light exposure, routine, social contact, movement, vitamin D, therapy…start them early, start now, before the dip deepens. What could you start now that your winter self will thank you for?

This is trumpian levels of delusion.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

Currently cleaning up coffee from my laptop that came out my nose laughing at this one.

Maria Steen had no intention of even getting nominated it seem from the lacklustre effort put in, I would imagine it was all some ploy to make it look like she was being persecuted for her beliefs. Beliefs soundly rejected by the Irish people time and time again. Good riddance.

Could have a spud as head of state.

If you still have an account on twitter you're supporting fascism, racism, misogyny, homophobia\transphobia sectarianismetc. No excuses, if you are using it you support the above.

“…football is more than just sport… it’s soft power. FIFA & UEFA must suspend Israel. Clubs everywhere must refuse to play Israeli teams. Players must refuse to play against Israeli teams. It’s time for everyone to get off the sidelines.” — Eric Cantona. #togetherforpalestine

People think you can think and talk your way out of trauma. It’s definitely more body work. Trauma isn’t a logic problem. It’s muscle, stomach acid, flinch reflex. You can’t just “reframe” a body memory. How do you remind yourself to bring the body into healing?

Trauma work isn’t just about healing the past, it’s about protecting the future. As a therapist I see that addressing trauma lowers risks of heart disease, cancer, fractured relationships… It’s not just memory, it’s medicine. Do you ever think of trauma work as an investment in your future?

I’m now a fully qualified EMDR therapist. Level 3 unlocked. #traumatherapy #emdr #psychotherapy

“They are taking your jobs” oh the ones y’all don’t fucking want!? Fuck you

The irony of this is lost on Gervais. He's in no position to lecture anyone himself and furthermore he clearly has no understanding on what the word political means. Being opposed to genocide is not a political statement, it is an statement on human rights.

Another groper being unintentionally hilarious.

"This scene is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy situated about 160 000 light-years away in the constellations Dorado & Mensa. With a mass equal to 10–20% of the mass of the Milky Way... [LMC] is the largest of... galaxies that orbit our galaxy." esahubble.org/images/potw2...

Are people still talking about that asshole? 🙄

Going to therapy doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re curious enough to ask, what else might be possible?

Talking about suicide doesn’t create risk, it creates connection. The research is clear. Asking about suicide does not plant the idea; it often relieves isolation. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #WSPD2025

'Violence never solved anything.' Except Nazism. Its the recommended treatment.

Just a reminder that fighting fire with fire creates an even bigger fire. You absolute morons.

Comments turned off, of course. The 'activist' was a child. The use of the word activist is intend to give the impression to it's readers that this was a balaclava wearing domestic terrorist. This is not journalism but then the Irish Times is really just property & press releases now.

If you’re anti immigrant, anti trans and anti vaccination and think “woke” will ruin the world we will just never be friends. That’s all.

What's next? Get Stella O'Malley* on for 'balance'? *For those who are not familiar with this person, she's a deeply disturbed, nasty individual.

Conor McGregor was found to have violently raped an innocent woman and is due to pay her damages for same. He is also being investigated for possible perjury. He is a dangerous person and should be fully held to account for his actions.

Insane that American health policy is fronted by an actual corpse.

another thing about Linehan is he had a hand in some truly funny British comedy shows but when you watch one of them now and he makes an onscreen apperance it's like a jumpscare, like seeing Jimmy Savile

For anyone who wonders what's the harm in the horrific lies perpetuated about trans gender people, let this educate you as to where the words from people like Joanne Rowling (never calling her JK as if she was some sort of literary giant) or Graham Linehan lead. To this.

Sigh 1. The Met arrested Linehan because there were warrants out for him 2. He was arrested at Heathrow because airports are places where ID is checked 3. Airport police are armed as a matter of course 4. Linehan is a deeply disturbed man who is being misused for clickbait

Don't expect anyone else to fight this battle. These simple measures are what helps. Everyone one of us that chooses a better way adds up to a couple of billion people. All we need do is what we can.

Every day's delay is a win for Israel's occupation economy and illegality subverting International legal norms. #speirgorm

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever at this stage that yes, Starmer would have let an establishment-protected pedophile off the hook.

Sometimes being a therapist and being a parent is shit. No matter what you know you’re going to fail, that you have to fail in a way to reach good enough. But as a parent when your own nervous system is activated you want to tell your therapist self where to go!

Maria Steen is the media friendly face of the Iona Institute. She's still as much of a zealot as Quinn or O'Brien who pine for the Ireland of long ago. Keep Iona out of the Áras.

I know 0 about Jim Gavin & hope to keep it that way. #speirgorm

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is one of the most pervasive & harmful practices used with Autistic & ND children. PBS teaches & reinforces that a young person’s natural ways of being are wrong [leading] to masking, burnout, & trauma. @autisticrealms.bsky.social: autisticrealms.com/why-pbs-is-h...

When we discuss the genocide in Gaza, we must choose our words carefully. My letter in today's edition of the @irishtimes.com

The wild thing about this reversal is the way Donald Trump was partners in an underage sex trafficking and kompromat ring.

When that orange fascist starts killing AP journalists don't expect anyone to report on it honestly.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

Reactionary centrist, bleeding out as a firing squad in MAGA hats pushes him into a mass grave and covers it with dirt. "The . . . left . . . did this."

Rest isn’t restful if you’re nervous system is activated. No wonder so many of us are exhausted. It’s hard to feel safe and relaxed, if not impossible, in this world.

Well that came around fast. The weather is turning, the traffic is building and schools are back in coming days. If you’re prone to mood dips in the winter start taking vitamin D now and look into some ways to support mental health in the darker days. #SAD #winterblues

My almost 3 year old got a woopie cushion. He calls it his “poo poo balloon”

This feels like a spot of good news www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Britain, where you can be a Duke & rape kids & that's fine but if you engage in consensual sex with someone & they decide they don't like you then you are criminalised & added to a sex offenders register. Dear EU, Never, ever let this paedo clown show of a country back in. Signed, Everyone

7 years ago today was my first paid big corporate talk on the subject of mental health! I provided a half day training to Standard Life on the science of happiness. It’s been such a ride since! I’ve presented, trained and spoken internationally and still feel that nervous buzz beforehand. ❤️
