putting her phone in a pouch would have made her killers less transphobic and violent?

Belfast needs an overdose prevention centre. Lives are needlessly being lost. We need leadership from Stormont, especially the Health & Justice Ministers. Are they worried by how some voters will feel about the prospect of an overdose prevention centre, 20 months out from an election?

I genuinely avoid reading physical books in public and use an e-reader app instead, specifically because of the fear of someone doing this shit.

After scaremongering yesterday that a local school was teaching about Islam in a Religious Education class (been doing it for 50 years) and that McDonald's were forcing the Arabic language on people (it's a promotion for menu items from other countries) this racist's page was shut down this morning.

The legal waivers involved in stuff like this must be an absolute evil masterpiece

“I don’t believe LGBT+ people are safe in the PSNI. “Colleagues that participated and aided in my harassment are all still in post. “If you are an LGBT+ person, my advice is to protect yourself as best you can, keep (your) body-worn (camera) recording at all times.” [3/4]

Directly from a PSNI officer in today’s Belfast Telegraph: ‘His message says: “I have been subjected to repeated homophobic harassment by my colleagues, PSD (professional standards department) and far-right activists with disturbing amounts of influence over this organisation.” [2/4]

This is interesting drama to follow lol TLDR, the people who made the AI coke commercial are denying it and generating fake concept art, actual concept artists are ripping it all apart as fake because the guy has no idea how any of this works

On a lighter note my copy of Conall Kearney's third edition of Chaos Stadt arrived today. If you're on instagram you'd be wise to give Cocobongo666 a follow for top tier photography from Ireland to the front lines of Ukraine.

Marl pits are mythologically important to me in way I can’t articulate yet, but it’s something to do with digging down into the earth, they’re like temples or shrines or holy wells, they’re like islands amongst the fields, there’s a whole bit of the village built inside one and nobody knows

My takeaway from that rally is some of the people involved in this shit are so riddled by brainworms that they cannot even operate their own grifts. Pink Ladies was effectively made so they could have protests led by women to solve the PR issue of wingnut criminal men being the face of things.

Hello it's me the leader of the party full of landlords that has been in power your whole adult life and created the housing crisis we now refuse to resolve. I'm here to tell you it's actually the foreigners' fault.

"You may not know this, but there exists, among certain cohorts of the public, a perception that Ireland’s political establishment and media establishment are too intimately connected. And what on Earth would give them that idea?" Happy Saturday, it's time to read my column.

Great clip with Richard Chambers calling out Simon Harris’ ‘sleight of hand’ blaming immigrants for the #FFFG catastrophic housing policies 🤦🏾‍♀️ SH wants us “to be mad at immigrants…” for this government’s decades long failure in housing, planning, dereliction, services…🤯 #spéirghorm #IrishPol #Home

Into town today to do photo coverage of the protest for free public transport for people with disabilities, at Writers Square at 12pm. Followed by the fash rally at city hall at 1pm. I am anticipating some very normal behaviour towards someone holding a large camera at the latter protest.
