My thoughts on d "care" ref. I actually agonised over my vote & felt v misunderstood by some, I felt as tho some of us who voted as I did were treated as dumb or backward when really all we wanted was to not leave any other woman behind & esp for those of us with disabilities #Speirgorm

Absolutely. A trick of professional communicators hired by major parties is to distract us into grumbling about their people so we forget to promote what good people are doing and saying. That’s happening a lot in Ireland now. It is not an accident. #Spéirghorm #Handbags

FFS This is what a manufactured housing crisis leads to We have 65,000 longterm vacant houses being hoarded Shameful #DerelictIreland

Yes, what i've learned so far: that there is someone called Jim Gavin (honestly not trying to be offensive to him but I don't really follow GAA, this was literally d first time i'd heard of him), how much a Hermes Kelly bag costs & how I think some ppl are determined to present CC in bad faith.

Feel so angry. The news could not get sadder or more depressing today. How are the Palestinian people ever going to forgive or forget the world turning it's back on them. They must feel so abandoned.

This is devastating news. www.rte.ie/news/2025/09...

Well done Vibes & Scribes 👏

UNRWA says that according to a rapid needs assessment in Gaza by the IRC, one in three young children went a full day without food in the past 24 hours. The toll on children and their childhood is unbearable, it added, as many are being forced into begging, looting or child labour.

Kneecap’s Mo Chara sits down for world first interview after terror charge dropped. “Better luck next time Keir,” says the rapper - who says he’s considering legal action against the British state over damage to reputation and loss of earnings over court hearings. @virginmedianews.bsky.social

Just saw @sarahmcinerney.bsky.social share this on insta. The life expectancy in #Gaza is now 40. Imagine if our life expectancy dropped to this in Ireland, I feel so sad thinking about Gaza #Speirgorm

I was literally standing in boots like ok whats my hairs biggest issue is it too fine, not enough volume, ends too dry, maybe it needs a bit of hylauronic acid (I thought hair was dead 😂) anyway I think i'm mean to myself about enough things so anyway might be washing my hair with fairy liquid tmrw😂

Went to boots after this to buy a new shampoo partly because I actually need one & partly as a treat, I got so overehelmed by all the shampoos that I came out with none. It's actually awful how women are targeted & manipulated to feel everything is wrong with them their hair, skin, body etc

💔 god have a lump in my throat. Poor innocent baby.

Let me be clear. As someone who has been professionally involved with the biodefense / biosecurity sector for nearly 20 years, and has worked on biological risk analysis for Covid-19 since early 2020, reducing one's risk of being infected is not health anxiety. It's just smart.

Omg the cuteness of this 🥰

Lol 😂😂

Still thinking about this film, it was really thought provoking. You should try catch it when it's on Netflix.

Have a hospital appointment today. Living with a chronic disease is a full time job.

"We are witnessing a genocide. I hoped I would never have to say such words in my lifetime. As president I would travel to Palestine to show my support and solidarity and that of the Irish people to the people of Palestine.” @catherinegalway.bsky.social www.rte.ie/news/preside... #Spéirghorm

Being brought breakfast in bed is the nicest thing ever 😊

We went to see Steve in d cinema tonight. Cillian Murphy is in it. I found it so moving & it's filmed in a v interesting way. I always love films about teachers that really care about their students. Made me think about caring roles & how sometimes the carer prob needs as much care as the cared for.

So awful 💔

Two days buried alive, what a sick world that looks away and refuses to help. May their souls know some measure of peace and to those who abet this I hope you never know a moment of peace again.

Mental Health Bill must not stifle voices of those it affects most, say mental health reform policy specialists www.independent.ie/opinion/comm...

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Lol 😂 this is exactly how I imagined marriage, always have someone there having your back.

I started reading this like aww how lovely 😂😂

Non-Irish people should be told that Ireland is creased with national hilarity because the Catholic conservative candidate who failed to get enough support did a presser to talk about how Ireland had been cheated out of having a real 'people's candidate' while holding a €20K+ Hermes handbag.

This photo really highlights how grim NorthMain Street looks in #Cork these days. Would be amazing to see a transformation like that of McCurtain Street.

Just having a coffee in the Haven Community cafe in Cork. Noticed they have some new art up. I love this piece, so much emotion in the eyes of the person in this painting. I really do see them. Need to find out who the artist is. #Art #Cork #Speirgorm

So horrifying, the trauma of having to do this, to have to write a childs name on their arm so they can be identified in the event they are killed. I just cannot imagine how horrific it must be to live in that world, to be forced to live that life #GazaGenocide

Listened to this earlier, I think Frank made a really compelling argument for compulsary rental orders. As he said and i'm paraphrasing 'are we as a culture ok with normalising having over 5000 children homeless when there are 65k homes empty over 2 yrs.' #ChildrensRights #Speirgorm

Early this morning, an Israeli airstrike on the Firas Market in Gaza City’s Al-Daraj neighborhood massacred at least 22 Palestinians, among them 9 children and 6 women.

💔 poor babies. #GazaGenocide

WHO rejects Trump’s claims of link between Tylenol and autism

This phrase "the pleading eyes of a girl" kind of enrages me, gives me a real sick feeling in my belly. Makes me wonder what would even make someone think this scenario out ...

This makes me feel 🤢. "Our girls & women", the possessive pronoun. The infantilising of women, the mysoginy. Also I presume this message is directed toward other men hence the "Our", does he not know that violence towards women (& girls) is predominantly perpetrated by men known to them.

Israeli settlers set fire to Taybeh, a Palestinian Christian town thousands of years old

Hoping to learn how to crochet so I can make some people themed tea cosies like this. #Speirgorm

Went to do some crafting but we spent the full 2 hrs chatting about #DisabilityRights across the board, was so energising & of course the tea & biscuits with Michael Tea Higgins were lovely too. 🤭😊

I'm qualified and practising in Irish immigration law for over a decade and I have NEVER seen as many absolutely batshit, not even arguably lawful decisions from the Minister for Justice as I am seeing now I fear our government has terminal social media brain

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Would love to have some reluctant leaders in politics, then you would know they are not in it for power, status or money. I know thats prob magical thinking but anyway ... it's nice to dream 😂 #Speirgorm

Meant Paul Lynch 😂 not Paul Murray, started The Bee Sting 🐝 & I think I have some sort of brain fog.
