If you want to fight fascism, you must practice disability justice. If you’re claiming to be on the left but believe disabled people are “expendable”, you’re aligning with fascists. If you are against tyranny but refer to people like me as “a drain”, you’re carrying water for the Nazis.

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

Teen youth club session today was chocolate making, mini-spa, and/or anti-valentine card-marking. The place was wrecked, I'm covered in chocolate stains and was given a Pal-entine saying: Roses are red Pink Floyd had a prism Club sessions are chaos Because of the 'tism 🫣❤️

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

Google must have finally incorporated AI into Google Maps. How do I know? It just told me I needed to leave now to be at Dublin Airport by 13:30 now to catch 9am Citylink that arrives in Dublin Airport at 11am. Then I should take the 11:45 Kells bus to Ballymun and walk back one hour to the airport

“Generative AI is going to be part of the infrastructure of authoritarianism. Stopping data center and fossil fuel plant construction is going to be antifascist work from here on out.“

If my husband reorganised my desktop - with or without AI, with or without deleting 15 years of photos - I would reorganise his entire anatomy. AI could be great if it wasn't for men who don't understand consent.

If ever you want a very special memorial piece or a gift for a dog-adoring friend, can I please recommend to you felt artist @ffinlaysonart.bsky.social. Our Nancy arrived today, it's like she is actually here 🥹

We need just 569 more Irish people to sign this official EU citizen initiative to pass our threshold. If you truly support #JusticeForPalestine and you haven't signed, why not? 🇵🇸🙏 #SpeirGorm #SpeirGhorm #IrishSky #Ireland

Not building the Dublin metro prevented it from being interrupted by flooding.

It took my sister 4 hours to get home from work last night because the trains were cancelled and the buses were full. You might think a modern capital city on a rainy island would have waterproof services on one of its busiest lines, but no. That's mad communistic talk. No place for that in Ireland.

irish government to require all pedestrians and cyclists to dress like this so that drivers will maybe look at them

Reading this, you'd swear that feral cars with no humans inside them - no responsible person, no driver - were roaming the countryside and that small children are randomly colliding to death with them. Was there a driver? Any other person involved? Who knows, @news.rte.ie certainly won't tell us.

You know you've maybe had too much coffee when you're working intently with your headphones on and every little yelp on the Dune soundtrack nearly gives you a frickin heart attack.

Anything with Baileys in it. No quicker way to ruin a good dessert, coffee, cocktail, chocolate. It's not even mid, it's absolutely puke-inducing.

Not making light of this at all but last year a local kid made his own working taser and brought it to school to demonstrate to his pals, lightly frying himself in the process. Got suspended, guards involved, but I really hope someone has steered him towards engineering scholarships.

Seize Power and then Do Good Things, as a philosophy, remains undefeated!

you could not under penalty of torture get me to admit the level of ignorance about my own country and its history and culture that Irish conservatives are proudly displaying about Imbolc right now

I hate this but Jeffrey Epstein is evil Forrest Gump

The Biddy is an Irish folk tradition linked to Brigid’s Day and Imbolc, where groups wear white and handmade straw headpieces to travel around playing music while carrying a Brídeóg (a model Brigid in child form), warding off evil and bringing luck. Prints: www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...

I'm going to call this "Finally of use"

For me, John McNamee the poet. I used to work as night manager in a city centre hotel & John'd call in, sometime looking for a 'loan' of a tenner, sometimes to pass time telling true tall tales & being charming. He promised me a poem, I never got it, didn't mind. Nights went quicker with him there >

#Spéirghorm / Ireland only info request: Does a service exist whereby a person recovering from MH crisis can hire someone (like a PA) to re-engage with daily tasks for a set period of time, specifically to support them 1-on-1 to re-establish routine, parenting duties, exercise and return to work?

Don't ever be shamed for regretting parenthood.

Ah lads. Catherine O'Hara has died. What a horrible loss.

I used to think the "CMAT is just Chappell Ryan" jokes were cute but tbf to our High Queen, until Chappell Roan personally takes down Trump she's just Wal-MAT.

I am constantly telling my therapist, "I feel helpless and I'm not doing anything" then I tell her the stuff I did, and she gives me the Look, and I'm like, OK maybe I did some stuff, I dunno. channel being a weirdo about stuff and maybe a little obsessive into helping your community! only if u can!

I've sat on loads of boards and I have to leave the room when there's a vote that's a conflict of interest for me. Politicians should be held to the same standards as people on boards.

Oh my God, a TRADE UNION? What could possibly be more awful than one of those horrid things?

Ireland! We only need 4,000 more signatures to pass our threshold. C'mon!! @ipsc.bsky.social @kneecapceol.bsky.social 🇵🇸🇮🇪✊

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I will never learn. Went on the Animal Haven page and they have so many gorgeous traumatised little collies and now I have all the yearning and all the sadness.
