For the people who still think #racism doesn't exist in America, please watch this poignant vid of a heart-breaking story of one of America's top, elite attorneys, Bryan Stevenson, having to experience racism & swallow it, so his client isn't harmed. Pls watch. 2mins www.youtube.com/shorts/ShNDi...

This is a really important article outlining a further injustice toward the Palestinian people in the systemic destruction of all ability to sustain life by an abjectly cruel & nihilistic regime.

Everyone loves a #kingfisher. When I went for a walk at a new site yesterday there was a vocal brood of 6 young! Being fed by at least one parent @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #birds

It is always a joy reading from @dieworkwear.bsky.social .....another excellent thread on historical craftsmanship & creativity in the fashion industry.

This is a really important post & article particularly relevant to government proposals to remove Dublin airport passenger cap. Skewers the empty promise of sustainable aviation fuel while highlighting the deep inequity underlying aviation GHG emissions.

This is great. Do please watch it.

Wonderful thread....

This is amazing......something that could help with our unfortunate proclivity here in Ireland to pave garden spaces that suffer poor drainage.

This is something I have been thinking of quite recently when considering information overload of our modern digital age and societal inertia on the issues of climate change & environmental degradation....great thread from Eliot.

Think I'll read this once a week forever. Patricia Routledge, I love you.

It's far from perfect but Australia keeps demonstrating how beneficial it is to find a more just and equitable balance when it comes to developers, communities and large-scale energy infrastructure “We decided to respect our community, I think, and that was the difference"

my finger is just a bloody nub at this point i've been tapping the sign so much

This lovely woman came to the aid of an indian man falsely accused of exposing himself to children in Tallaght on Saturday afternoon. He had been seriously assaulted by a gang of teenagers, in broad daylight, & was covered in blood. This woman is an Irish patriot. m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

Please donate to help Marwan, his wife and two children secure food & medicine in Gaza. Some campaigns do not get the profile they deserve and an accumulation of small donations really help. It is a desperate situation for people like Marwan to manage while trying to support their families in Gaza.

I hope you can help us and share the post, please. chuffed.org/project/1303...

Today's opinion by the International Court of Justice on Climate is huge. It establishes for the first time an obligation in international law that states must meet the commitments they signed up to in climate treaties, and must work with each other to achieve this www.rte.ie/news/world/2...

Instant block for anyone talking about that adulterous CEO except to criticise the reaction to it. I don't think you understand how freakish the surveillance we put eachother under is now. I don't care if he's not a good man. You are missing the big picture

Treating violent crime & murder as a public health issue, works. popular.info/p/the-secret...

Incredible piece of craft by these women.....

‘I think we have slightly forgotten the idea of this broader concept of hospitality as being quite necessary to the health of the host society, not just the incoming society.’ Wise words from @britishacademy.bsky.social Fellow Marina Warner on.ft.com/3Tvd1D1

An infuriating read....& behind it; the prevailing cult of individualism incompatible with the provisioning of a healthy functioning society, a financial system that serves to entrench gross wealth inequality and a polity continually betraying it's democratic ideals by aligning with corporate power.

‘We are perilously close to the point of no return’: climate scientist on Amazon rainforest’s future Carlos Nobre, who has fought to save the rainforest, says up to 70% of it could be lost if a tipping point is reached, which may only be a few years away www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Brilliant article on the undemocratic alliance of finance, corporate interests & national politics

Two feminist collectives - made up of Iranians, Hazaras and Kurds (one is Iranians only I think, the other all three) - have released important statements about this Israel/USA vs Iran war, that you should read and share. Feminist Liberation Group: shorter.me/l5cPo Roja: rb.gy/udstk1

Desperately sad account of what is going on in Gaza. Yet these stories matter. Email your political representatives and donate if you can to help these people.

We need local councillors with the power to act locally. Without it people will continue to elect TDs for parochial reasons. "He fixed the road" is not a qualifier for running a country. #spéirgorm

Just after watching this documentary. Its an absolute gut punch. Incredible stories behind the the women who participated. Really sensitively made about a very different time in Ireland. Highly recommend!

In a response to Deliveroo launching drone delivery services......still laughing here 🤣

Excellent work. This needs awareness and discussion. #SlipperySlope

“Ireland is.. a wet country that is at the same time lacking in water for new housing” Good @irishtimes.com article today

In this article for @thebookseller.com, I look at how our approach to discussing the #ClimateCrisis has had to evolve, as we search for the widest range of entertaining ways to convince people to act on this threat to our civilization. @climatealarmclock.bsky.social @dcuclimate.bsky.social

Really thought provoking thread.....

Incredible work from everyone involved here

Superb thread. I remember this and coverage of the maxi-trial well. An incredibly brave man along with many others who were murdered as a result of their courage.

This is a really lovely account to follow if you want a reminder of the beautiful nature outside through all the doom scrolling. 💚🌳🌿🌸

Really important statement from UK foreign secretary David Lammy.....let other governments rise to denounce Israeli govt actions as stridently with the consequences that must ensue in response to its barbaric military operation in Gaza.

Great thread about the ripple effect of social contagion in support of progressive aims through co-ordinated social media messaging. No reinventing the wheel - just broadcasting & connecting diverse groups of people for shared goals across various social media groups & platforms.

Took this photo on my phone yesterday while walking the dog, no filters used. They look so beautiful and delicate, isn’t nature amazing 😊 #speirgorm #SpéirGhorm #LFC

The Early Bird. #Birds #Sunrise #Wildlife #Ireland #Nature #Photography

So lucky to see this beautiful young Irish hare this morning. It seemed to not notice me at all & just kept approaching. Adorable creature.

TG4 comms team just as good on Bluesky as they were on Twitter. Evidently we didn't win the Eurovision 😂

2nd Killarney CES session was much improved with 31 birds of 13 species. The highlight was a Mistle Thrush, a new species for the CES! Also the first few juvs with a couple Robins and Long-tailed Tits @npwsireland.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social

"If you see me, weep" Worth the digital subscription to read this article on the profound consequences of persistent drought historically & how we can adapt to a feature of our changing climate presently here in Ireland. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ou...

in pretty much every domain, and not just through research, private industry *exists* because of public funding, public infrastructure, etc. It is a baby held up by its mother, thinking it can stand on its own two feet.

Mutual aid is so important right now for people of Gaza such as Tamer....please read his profile & help in anyway you can.

Palestine is the rock on which the West will break itself. Put yourself in the shoes of people in the global South. For nearly two years they have watched how Western leaders, who love to talk about human rights and the rule of law, are happy to shred all these values ...

This is a fabulous distillation of the many flavours of democracy contrasting the captivating allure of seemingly dynamic authoritarian democracies as a representative "will of people" versus the deliberative sometimes sclerotic pace of liberal democracies that champion pluralism & minority rights.

"The future of forestry in Ireland should be a nature-first, non-commercial approach, where native woodlands and rewilding form the tenets of our attempt to address the degradation of our land" 👏 www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...
