How about that I passed my viva and finished my PhD! 🥳🥳

🚨🧪 NEW STUDY ALERT: Read it here: rdcu.be/eD7c6 Children from Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Black African & other minority ethnic backgrounds in the UK are LESS likely to suffer unintentional injuries than white children, despite facing disproportionate disadvantage.🧵1/4 #PsychSky #MedSky #AcademicSky

I hope Martine Croxall faces consequences for her petty, discriminatory, and unprofessional behaviour. If 'woke' presenters must face disciplinary action after expressing their views while not at work, it's surely even less acceptable for a newsreader insert their opinion into an on-air news piece.

As a *very* pregnant woman, I just want to reiterate that the inclusive term 'pregnant people' takes absolutely nothing away from me and the fact that other people who aren't women can also be pregnant doesn't mean I'm not a woman. Also, are women not people?

I love Leo Varadkar's optimistic view that NI would shun a Reform government in Westminster for a progressive one in Dublin. It's cute and all but holy moly is this his first time visiting?

The Madleen, launched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, is one of several Gaza-bound vessels intercepted by Israel.

URGENT: UK MUST ACT TO PROTECT THE MADLEEN & ITS CIVILIAN CREW 🚨Greta Thunberg & other peaceful protestors have been abducted by Israeli forces from the UK-flagged aid ship Madleen on intl waters It was delivering life-saving supplies to Gaza This is a violation of intl law and UK sovereignty...

Feeling strangely hopeful for humanity between tracking Madleen and seeing so many people stand up to the likes of ICE and attending anti-genocide protests across the world. I don't know if it's just my echo chamber but it feels like we're approaching some kind of tipping point.

Old white men: How can we get young women to have more babies? Young women: Generous paid shared parental leave; affordable, high quality childcare, a decent living wage; and affordable housing. Old white men: What about a medal?

women celebrating embedding in law of biological determinism which is used to reinforce gendered hierarchies, & embracing the hetropatriachal binary which has negatively impacted the lives of all women are not feminists despite their claim to be,they are transphobic handmaidens of the patriarchy.

We - the Socialist Lawyers Association of Ireland - have released a statement on the UKSC’s ruling today.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Posting in solidarity with friends and colleagues in the UK today 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Trans women are women. Trans men are men. It should be that simple. It will take a while for all the practical implications of today's ruling to shake out but for now, from this cis woman and feminist, I'm thinking of everyone affected by today's ruling.

Some good news! I just found out that our systematic review is among the top ten cited articles for Child: Care, Health and Development for 2023! Read it here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #TopCitedArticle #psychology #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky @wiley.com @ulsteruni.bsky.social 🧪

The question remains - why is this government stripping vital support away from millions of people when a 2% wealth tax on multi-millionaires and billionaires could raise many, many times more? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

What a depressing day in the news. More evil airstrikes on civilians by Israel. A return to austerity by the tories in red, making the most vulnerable in a deeply unequal society pay the price for a failing economy that's already reduced their quality of life.

St Patrick was once enslaved in Ireland and, in the ultimate act of vengeance, gave us Christianity.

@ccriadoperez.bsky.social I just noticed ITV has billed the rugby as the 'Men's Six Nations'. Don't know how long its been like this but a positive development!

#medsky#pedsky#idsky#immunosky 🧪 In the midst of all of the scary headlines recently, I thought I could take a moment to share a bit of good news: for the first time in history, a malaria vaccine with >90% efficacy seems to be within reach! Here’s why that’s a really big deal for EVERYONE 🧵

It's very reassuring to see all the negative Civ 7 reviews because in this stage of life I won't have time to play for literal years. I was feeling left out.

Why is girls' mental health getting worse? And why are they suffering more than boys? There are no easy answers – and simply blaming social media or Covid doesn't add up, experts tell Zofia Niemtus in our investigation ⬇️

That's more like it! FFG could never. #SpéirGhorm

A great read for today! #SpeirGorm

Happy 1st of Spring!

I haven't seen any articles mention it but if DeepSeek uses less computational power than existing models like ChatGPT, does that mean it's inherently less harmful to the environment as well? #AI

What an unsatisfying ending to the #TraitorsUK The last two to go were the loveliest ones!

Seeing lots of talk of cyclogenesis, bomb cyclone, and sting jets but I don't know what it means. Any resident meteorologists or clever weather watchers want to explain for us laypeople? #StormÉowyn

Just heard the news reader pronouncing Éowyn and realised I've been pronouncing it wrong all day. This must be how the English feel when Met Eireann name the storms.

I love a good storm but I'm a bit spooked by Storm Éowyn! Thinking especially of all the people affected by defective blocks in the NW. #speirgorm

There are as many men called James in Ireland's new government as there are women #speirgorm #ge24

Really driving me up the wall that Livi keeps saying you have to go with your gut when that's absolutely the worst way to play this game! Going with your gut is really just going with all your unconscious biases #TraitorsUK #TheTraitors

FTSE 100 bosses have already made more money in 2025 than the average worker makes in a year -according to the @highpaycentre.bsky.social. This isn't a fair distribution of the wealth that workers are responsible for generating.

Over the Christmas break I forgot to do wordle one day and broke my streak and it's been so liberating. I feel free!

This #InternationalMigrantsDay, we teamed up with @zoejardiniere.bsky.social to call for a fairer asylum system. Share this video & let people in power know we need real solutions – not fearmongering 💛 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dtgz... #HumanRights #PaidPartnership #RefugeesWelcome

My colleague, Isabella Bruno, developed a great resource for those who need access to academic publications but are not affiliated with academic organizations.

Track #StormDarragh live here, with wind & rain radar and also live cameras in red and orange counties #Storm #TrackingWeather #Weather www.youtube.com/live/IDkixgF...

Woke up to the booming arrival of #stormdarragh after hours of eerie calm! Spent the last fifteen minutes trying to coax my nonplussed elderly cat inside who was intent on riding it out in the open air. Is there a Darragh feed for the night owls?

Super disappointed in my baby whose bedtime begins as the toy show starts. What a traitor. I can't wait to catch up tomorrow and will be simultaneously scrolling the #speirgorm highlights!

Great news! And weirdly progressive for here

It's already the 6th of December and I haven't watched a Christmas film yet this year. It's an utter disgrace.

Top five looking very different this year. As much as I like Vivaldi,my entire top five is down to the newest member of the family 👶🏻 leeching off my Spotify premium account

Small Irish businesses to support this holiday season. 🌲☘️❄️☃️ I'm starting a list of small Irish businesses people can shop with to support local Irish people. I will post below in this thread,please feel free to DM me to have others added #Shopsmall #ShopLocal #SmallIrishBusiness #SupportLocal

What does it mean for housing? Just more pandering to big investors? #GE24

It looks like the transfers from the far right are going to be very interesting tomorrow in Donegal. Are there any insights from elsewhere so far? #GE24

It just dawned on me I haven't even been over to twitter for #GE24 coverage today. Bluesky has been more than enough all day!

Looks like redress was top of the agenda for Donegal voters so far but I'm surprised not to see Thomas Pringle higher. I don't think his local area results are tallied yet though

Love to see it! Glad to see my hometown far right conspiracy thought leader is also poorly today after missing out in the local elections by not nearly a wide enough margin.
