Berry again.

Berry is tiny but brave. Litter trained, eats well, plays with older cats, purrs when rubbed. Perfect little cat. Contact me for details.

This little guy is 12 weeks old and ready for a new home. Currently in Clondalkin animal aid. I mean, look at the little face … and the puppy belly!

I’ll be hosting a Q&A with the wonderful Carmel Winters after a screening of her extraordinary film this Saturday in the IFI. So come if you can.

Entirely man-made famine.

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

There are no words left for what the Israeli government and IDF are doing to Gazans. And yet we must still keep finding the words to say it loudly: they are actively committing genocide and the our governments are letting them. @nesrinemalik.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

No Meals, Fainting Nurses, Dwindling Baby Formula: Starvation Haunts Gaza Hospitals www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/w...

But it's not OK to protest against climate change or genocide? Who are these people?

In today's @irishexaminer.bsky.social, Ria Czerniak-Lebov writes about being an anti-Zionist Irish Jew, and says Alan Shatter does not speak for her or others like her.

Important reporting from Gaza:

Growing up, I was taught that my ancestry gave me a special responsibility - RESPONSIBILITY - to make common cause with the struggling and oppressed peoples of the world. I don't know what that means anymore. This is an abyss. And the bill always comes due.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well. forward.com/opinion/7575...

I’m Jewish and I lived in NYC for a decade. My wife and I left due to affordability concerns—especially around housing. I’m wishing I could move back to NYC BECAUSE of Zohran. Gentile politicians need to stop using Jews as a cudgel against the left.

Irish immigration officials refuse visas for 47 Palestinians due to come to Ireland for GAA tour. Over 100 Irish families have volunteered to host the Palestinian group and GAA clubs up and down the country have been fundraising for their tour. www.thejournal.ie/gaa-palestin...

insane that mamdami is getting accused of being an antisemite with like 100x the furor of elon musk, who runs stormfront 2 and did a hitler salute on national television

Children in Gaza dying of thirst after trucks carrying water blocked - UNICEF

It’s precisely my understanding of antisemitism which leads me to root for Zohran. As Jews, we thrive when everyone thrives. When other minority groups suffer, we also suffer. Few things could make me feel safer as a Jewish American than a Muslim mayor who fights for working people.

After sitting on this film for months, the BBC finally announce they won't broadcast it after its Director says Israel is committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing in Gaza (they are). BBC says this isn't impartial because "Israel has denied accusations of war crimes" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Meet Tiarnach Tiarnach is a Argentinian Dogo cross breed. He is neutered and fully vaccinated Tiarnach is a gentle giant , he is big and strong but also a big softie who loves cuddles and walks.

Israeli forces repeatedly open fire on crowds trying to reach food distribution points led by the disastrous US-Israeli backed #Gaza Humanitarian forum. At least 51 Palestinians were killed waiting for aid trucks yesterday. @irishtimes.com

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

honestly... you know, they said that it was about preventing predatory men from ???disguising themselves as women??? to attack women in toilets, and they knew trans women were no threat. but it wasn't. it was just to humiliate and dehumanise trans people, like any denial of basic dignified toilets

"We must take back our Tricolur from the lads I said didn't actually exist" - latest by me in the Shameless Turnaround Times. 🙄 www.irishexaminer.com/news/spotlig...

"The soldiers film people fighting over the aid, and once it’s finished, they throw teargas to disperse the crowd. I saw displaced people who couldn’t get any aid picking pasta from the sand.” www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

At the weekend Israel attacked Palestinians trying to collect food. Alistair Bunkall reports on the massacre.

Mark O'Connell: ‘I walked through the fire all by myself’. This is barbarism

Even a former Israeli prime minister is now stating the obvious: that his country is committing war crimes. So how come everyone else saying so is 'antisemitic'?? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Look at that face. Tiarnach is a Argentinian Dogo cross breed. He is neutered and fully vaccinated Tiarnach is a gentle giant , he is big and strong but also a big softie who loves cuddles and walks. Given that Tiarnach is so big , he will not be homed in a house with children. DM for contacts.

I can't stop thinking about how the "Gender Critical" response to hundreds of leading UK biologists signing a letter saying sex isn't binary or immutable is "I can't believe that school kids know more about biology than these biologists". Can you imagine saying that out loud without thinking?! Mad

Can't find it on @kenfoxe.bsky.social's BlueSky to repost, sorry to share from x. But yeah, well said.👏👏

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.

It is deeply misleading for Norma Foleys department to claim that St. John Ambulance Ireland has proactively engaged with or provided meaningful outreach to survivors of abuse. www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

Yes, I do actually think it’s important to distinguish the legal system in established democratic polities with a strong rule of law tradition from the kangaroo courts of autocracies. Sorry but this is actually meaningful, it isn’t just a matter of perspective

I'm often critical of many of my fellow leftists on foreign policy but using this bought-and-paid-for dingus to illustrate anything pure bad faith. He has basically no platform or profile in Ireland! Ruth Coppinger publicly called him out! He's not taken seriously by anyone serious!

Romantic nationalism is an ugly and powerful drug which numbs ‘great patriots’(🤮) like the one SF are currently celebrating to the savagery and pointlessness of sectarian murder.
