Horrific story of how women are not taken seriously until too late when they report abuse - thankfully this guy is in now convicted and in jail but for how long? www.bbc.com/news/article...

We're working with primary schools close to bogs and facilitating children to connect with their local bog through art and experience. Artist @anniehollandart.bsky.social was the mentor in our Tyrrellspass /Cloncrow Bog project with Eugene Dunbar and St Anne's NS #:LoveBogs

Really unhappy that @RTE continues to push people to X as a platform (story has X embedded) www.rte.ie/news/2025/11...

Uplifting story of the journey of a dancer and choreographer from Zolani township in South Africa to Paris opera ballet premiere #arts and credit to Fiona Sutton for being the one to open the doors and enable the talent www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/a...

Seems Yates was likely conflicted during last year's election when on air with broadcaster Newstalk - as he was media training FF www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

And @newstalkfm.bsky.social #Spéirghorm should all 'review' where Yates was also working for FF during the national and local elections when he was also a 'commentator' and presenter? www.newstalk.com/shows/irelan...

Sad to see Sr Sran's passing; @news.rte.ie doesnt mention one of her own beloved personal legacies - The Sanctuary in Stoneybatter - and its mission of connecting personal growth and well-being with social impact. Had the pleasure of working with her there. May she rest in peace. www.sanctuary.ie

I think its fair to say that Breda O'Brien of @irishtimes.com is not happy about our newly elected President - who achieved an historic first preference vote - the piece has to be a new low in mean-spirited nastiness and sweeping unconnected Iona Institute nonsense #Spéirghorm

Far more significant than the podcast is Ivan Yates working with a national broadcaster Newstalk as a pundit when he was working for FF as an advisor ...surely the regulator has something to say about this ? www.newstalk.com/podcasts/cal.... #Spéirghorm

Israel's version of 'ceasefire' is killing 100 people overnight www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/w...

This is nonsense if Israel is bombing and killing civilians the 'ceasefire' is most definitely not a reality #Gaza

New poll shows public want energy prioritised for housing and essential services, not data centres. People see data centre growth as threat to Ireland’s energy and water supplies, and ecosystems, and want Big Tech to be regulated www.friendsoftheearth.ie/news/new-pol...

Main impacts of an AMOC collapse: cooling in northwest Europe, additional sea-level rise (up to 1 m) by north Atlantic coasts, major impacts on North Atlantic ocean ecosystems/fisheries, reduced ocean CO2 uptake, major rainfall changes in the tropics... Earth history suggests they will be dramatic.

Paying the fine - and bargaining for a discount cut rather than facing up to the socio-economic transformation needed www.rte.ie/news/analysi.... #Spéirghorm

Remarkable result; turnout was higher than last Presidential election. Media deciding that the story is Declan G, Maria S or any other wannabes who didn't get their act together and persuade people to nominate them needs to look at the high spending machine that was behind Heather H #Spéirghorm

A #Sunday story - from Paris where a carpenter who spent years restoring Notre Dame got a one-off chance to marry his partner there as a 'thank-you' www.france24.com/en/video/202.... #Paris #NotreDame

The media also needs to question its assumption - from beginning of coverage the narrative was turnout was going to be historic low - in fact higher that last Presidential election -"The turnout was 46%, up on the 2018 presidential election which had a turnout of 44%' #spéirghorm

FF messed up their candidacy - independents failed to get their campaigns started early and develop support. Blaming the process when it delivered Robinson, McAleese and Higgins rather than yourself is an easy cop-out and an attempt to undermine the elected candidate. #Spéirghorm

signs of the time - regardless of our human ability to try and ignore what's happening in earth sciences and global warming, climate crisis, the natural world is rapidly showing and manifesting the reality of that change

A beautiful community-led distraction from the #Aras25 election results day - via @tocharstories.bsky.social - follow and share #TócharStories for stories from the grassroots about our bogs nature, culture, heritage and ecology

Dunno if sharing photos of the violent threats and hatred on spoiled votes and thereby giving those gowls the audience and coverage they want their otherwise mainly unseen messages to get is great tbh

The Stripe tech leader manages to rant about everything in Ireland while pointedly ignoring climate, environmental crises. Always concerned when we see tech rich guys assuming they have all the solutions - and funding lobby initiatives like 'Progress Ireland' www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

Delighted to be a part of this lovely event @communitywetlands.bsky.social

Lively (and mostly dry day) on Ballydangan Bog, Roscommon where we're working with children from Camcloon NS - just minutes from bog. Katie Smirnova, who works with Tóchar Stories as a naturist, and Pat Feehily, local bog custodian from Ballydangan Red Grouse Bog Project were our guides. #LoveBogs

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/w... Bodies of Palestinians - unnamed and unknown - 'returned' by Israel with clear evidence of torture and trauma - the scale of this and the lack of international attention to it - well done to @nytimes.com team for documenting -#giftarticle - essential reading

This is what solidarity looks like. Together, we will win.

You'd have to question international geo-politics and media players that got so badly played by Israel-US pretend 'ceasefire' as cover to close the clearance and genocide of Gaza

something so negative to run a campaign asking people to 'spoil' their vote - it's a hard won precious right www.rte.ie/news/politic... #Spéighorm

The myth that Tesla ( despite the fascist leadership) is a 'great EV' is getting some reality thrown on it #Tesla

The US president letting corrupt pals out out of jail and avoid justice ( Santos) while sending in troops to hammer civilians in cities he doesnt like - Chicago- and claiming it's about 'crime' is quite the look #America.

Pentagon beat reporters have been handing in their press passes all day long today. It is one of the most striking examples of news media solidarity we've seen this year.

Climate has slipped down political and news agendas but emissions continue to rise, meaning temperature rises will continue to accelerate with lethal consequences www.rte.ie/news/world/2...

Shocking description of how Greta Thunberg was assaulted, abused and ill-treated during her detainment - They tried hard to break her - particularly as a young woman. If they do this to her imagine what they do to Palestinians? Greta should get the Nobel next year www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25...

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25...

Meanwhile .... back at base the Trampian regime says you can only report what it wants you to report - or you don't get access @nytimes.com fascism or totalitarianism anyone? www.bbc.com/news/article...

it was clear from beginning - that Israel and US will look for any reason to break the 'ceasefire' despite hostage release - after two years of bombardment is it surprising that not all bodies are found? It was flagged in the so called peace plan there were difficulties - www.rte.ie/news/middle-...

A species that participates in its own extinction - adaptation is excellent but only after and in tandem with doing everything to avoid an unlivable planet. If by 2025 we're projecting and accepting+2C and failing on all metrics to act- we're shaping that unlivable planet for humans.
