The assembly is a beautiful program

Apparently, knee replacement surgery is the only thing in the world I’m too young for 😟

It’s a dogs life

Always amazed that the ones who tried to convince us tha their position on abortion is not based on religion, are always the one commenting on religious issues. Looking at you Wendy Grace

I'm not sure which video to post--the fifteen paramedics in their last moments as one of them prays amid gunfire, the journalist being burned alive, the man holding a headless toddler, the people blown into the air, or the young man quietly rocking the shrouded body of a child. It's a genocide.

Spring walk through the Moselle vineyards

#MAFSAU is amazing

Our Pakistani neighbour s are celebrating Eid today and dropped us over some delicious food

The family Rome bound

She wouldn’t make you feel at all guilty for leaving

The worlds longest tongue #Clodagh

This time four years ago, Clodagh came into our lives and made it immeasurably better

What it was always all about.

For anyone in Mullingar/Midlands This creep sexually assaulted a woman & secretly filmed dozens without consent, is free to resume his trade upon release. People like him don’t change. www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/20...

Thinking of Ann Lovett today, ##otd 1984, 15yrs old & pregnant, she went to the grotto in Granard where she gave birth to a still born baby boy, she was found sometime later but died shortly after of hypothermia & blood loss. Her story shocked the country #speirgorm www.thejournal.ie/readme/ann-l...

Lunchtime stroll through the #Moselle vineyards in #Luxembourg with wee clodagh

Every time you see a story in the media announcing that puberty blockers are banned, it's untrue. They've just been banned for trans kids. Cis kids who are in distress because of precocious puberty still get them. Trans kids who in distress, don't. People, generally, don't know that.

When we lived in London you'd see often see crowds with flags outside embassies, community centres etc- Moldovans, Romanians, French etc - they were voting in their national elections. The Irish abroad - often for the v reasons they had to leave - should have the vote #ge24

Your rights at work were not 'given to you'. Workers fought long & hard to protect your jobs, your wages, your safety. They fought for sick leave, gender equality, against discrimination. They won because workers hold all the power. But only if they know how to use it #JoinAUnion

I wrote this short companion piece to my recent @historywo.bsky.social article where I reflect a little bit on doing the history of youth sexuality and activism in 80s Ireland. Thanks History Workshop for the invitation and @beckierutherford.bsky.social for your amazing editorial support!

Mexico has refused to let US military deportation flights use its airspace. Colombia and Guatamala have refused to allow (at least some flights so far) to land. But Ireland continues to allow US military flights to refuel in Shannon. #WTF

Paris is utterly changed from the disaster it was 20 years ago: les noise, less stress, less pollution. Even less dog shit.

#StormEowyn If you want to keep track of the storm as it flies towards us. I always use this site to track its location and wind speeds. earth.nullschool.net#current/wind...

#January been on a (French accent) certain regime, for the last few weeks. 5kg down but todays shitshow really called for wine and pizza 🍕

A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it. Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was. Headline: “A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute”

Winter lunchtime walk

Today on what would have been her birthday, we remember that Janey Godley was always on the right side. #Trumpisacunt

Razed to dust, this is what Israel's apocalyptic erasure of Northern Gaza looks like. Palestinians are "returning" to nuclear-scale desolation.

Today in 1912 Scott got to the South Pole....Just one month after Amundsen had beat him to it. Amundsen had left a tent with a Norwegian flag flying above & inside, a letter for the Norwegian king with a covering note asking Scott to post it. Cold. Literally.

So upset reading this

So trans-border SF are willing to go with the DUP on this very particular issue for unspecified reasons people are not entitled to know while cis-border SF wonder why they might be accused of being unprincipled.

A walk high in the clouds through the forest

The Housing Agency won’t release records to at least 13 homeowners affected by the defective block crisis because the publication of these records, the agency claims, could “endanger the life or safety” of Housing Agency staff. www.ontheditch.com/housing-agen...

Please don't wait for those mythical golden times, don't postpone joy until you achieve perfect health, don't delay until you've secured your dream career, don't hold back until you've found the ideal partner- take action now. NOW is the perfect time to begin your journey of finding joy. Gurdeep.org

Could this be the original of The Fear

Canadian MP Charlie Angus responded to Trump's proposal to make Canada the 51st U.S. state by noting that existing laws prevent "sexual abusers" from leading his nation.

About 2 minutes after this she sat down and refused to go any further because of the cold. In order to show her who was boss, I carried her back to the house

What a disgusting proposal from Dublin City council in the middle of a housing, homelessness and cost of living crisis. Please sign the petition chng.it/NVCpmYBv5V

Find someone who looks at you the way Luke Littler looks at double 10 #darts

This is beautiful

Hi, humans. I’m God. Please do less killing this year. More working together to fight for basic human rights. Thanks in advance, God

I’m 55, and have a very privileged life. Nevertheless, 2024 has been my most difficult year and I hope 2025 is kinder to me and to all of you. Happy new year 💚

Myself and @audsleonard.bsky.social went out for a while earlier. The doggos weren’t too happy
