To be fair: much better and more reasonable discussion than I expected. Cynical face retracted.

Fully expected Djokovic to retire tomorrow morning either way but this isn’t going to be pretty unless he does one of his inexplicable terminator-esque resurrections. He’s wrecked.

Speaking of sleepwalking into our own destruction. I’m a broken record but take a moment to imagine all those lockdowns if we hadn’t had the arts to keep us some version of sane.

Given the serious flooding in parts of Ireland today, people will be talking about climate change, but there aren’t many of us who do climate talks for kids. There needs to be *far more* effort and money put into making the subject engaging, accessible and hopeful for them.

We all have phones. It’s pure madness that we’re left relying on WhatsApp groups to find out the whole area is flooded and people are getting stuck in their cars. Literally any sort of centralised warning system that isn’t the fire brigade hoping you checked Facebook would be ideal.

It’s illegal if done by a paedophile priest or done by a company. In fact, that same 1998 law specifically addressed how to hold workers of any company that committed these crimes liable. A “Director, officer, secretary”? Liable to criminal prosecution.

Hard to know where to start with this? I would love to live in a world where government ministers treated the abuse of women en masse as being as important as, say, Irish beef.

For the first time in a while parking at Wild Lights is a fiasco. Car park attendants offering no signposting to alternative parking options to cars full of kids isn’t good enough tbh.

Despite a 16% jump in nitrates levels in Irish rivers in the last year alone, it's looking like the derogation (special dispensation to pollute more) will *still* be extended by another 3 years. Help farmers financially if needs be, but killing our rivers is just WRONG.

Nitrates derogation could be extended by three years after proposal backed by European Commission
Too much nitrogen in a river can lead to an over-growth of algae, which causes damage to, and can even kill, wildlife and plants.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Think there are going to be a *lot* of texts in about this advice re children at back of class during religion class and sacrament prep. It goes way beyond “maybe they can draw pictures of stuff they don’t believe in to feel included” and misses the mark entirely to suggest that’s the solution.

There is no good reason for peaceful protest about an IPAS centre outside that centre. There are no decision makers in there. Protest peacefully at your local TDs office, or the Dáil. Protesting outside *anyone’s* home is only ever intended to intimidate, which in turn is never a peaceful act.

People who only get angry about assaults on women when they perceive the perpetrator to be someone other than their friends isn’t really angry about assaults on women. See also: Ballymena.
