Very grim

Is Mise Éire Eile, a play based around protests against international protection accommodation, has one date left in its current tour- July 2nd in Naas. It’s really worth seeing. www.crookedhouse.ie/project/is-m...

This is a brilliant thread …. Never had any interest in luxury watches but I’m much more knowledgeable now- let’s hope Corey learnt something too!!

We must first acknowledge the girl whose violation sparked the chain of events. We stand in solidarity with her and with her family now and always. Instead, ostensibly because of the ethnic background of the boys accused of carrying out this attack, the vigil was hijacked by people intent on harm.

A robin made a nest in one of my plant pots right outside my studio. The baby birds are hatching today.

While the entire population of Gaza remains on the brink of famine, and Israel refuses to allow in truckloads of humanitarian aid, an organisation called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has taken over food distribution, with already disastrous results. http://jrnl.ie/6725517

A drumbeat of death, every day, every night Israeli government slaughtering civilians in Gaza

„As many as 14,000 babies in Gaza could die in 48 hours if aid does not reach them in time, the UN’s humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, warned. Fletcher said five trucks of aid went into Gaza yesterday but described this as a “drop in the ocean”“
